Chapter - A Fleeting Dream(Revise)

"Brother, Brother,..."

"Hehe, hug, brother..."

A group of children, only 3 of 4 hugged me and called out.

Looking at them, I smiled and lifted them high one by one then threw them in air and caught them back, repeating this process.

"Big brother, me too, me too..." Another little girl called out, tugging against my pants.

"Okay, Okay, wait, I will play with you too. Give me your hand." I smiled helplessly then picked her up and threw her up in the air as well.

The little girl giggled happily before falling back into my hands.

"⬜⬜⬜⬜, be careful. They might fall."

I saw a middle aged man with receding hairline, looking at me with a hint of reproach but full of love.

"It's dangerous, there is a fan on top."

An old woman with white hair and wrinkled face, spoke up as well, point to the fan on the ceiling. Though her voice sounded harsh but her words were clearly full of love as well.

"Father, Grandma, how many kids have I played with? Why are worrying so much? I won't let them fall..."

I shook my head and continued to play.

The kids around me also didn't listen to the Elders and kept giggling and playing with me.

The light was hazy and the family was full of smiles.

...

...

...

"...A dream!"

I looked at the sunlight shining from the window and gently touched my face which has a clear line of tear flowing down it.

"Sigh! It's all just a dream."

How many times has it been? I don't remember but this isn't the first time I have dreamed of my family in my past life.

Though my family might not have been the best in the world and I even disliked them at one point but it was true that they loved me. But now, whether it was family or my friends, I can't go back to that time

"Sigh!"

After sighing again, I got up, ready to change.

Knock-Knock!

"Young Master, you are awake. Excuse me for intruding."

With a few polite knocks, Volth gently pushed open the door, and walked in.

"Good morning, Volth!"

"Good morning, young master. Did you sleep well last night?" Volth smiled and asked while walking toward the wardrobe.

This duplicate lacks the author's approval, while the page where the story was originally posted supports its creator.

"Yeah, I slept pretty well." I answered with a smile.

The dream tonight was very pleasant, reminding me of my warm life on Earth. Although I couldn't go back, that memory was an anchor, forever reminding me of my warm life and letting me maintain my normal personality in this cold family.

"Young Master, wash up then I will help you change." Volth picked out my usual clothes and said.

"Oh, thank you."

I nodded and went to wash.

My room has its own bathroom and this world was quite developed in terms of Magic technology so the bathroom here was similar to earth with all function available, only the energy used was magic and not electricity.

Once I washed up, I got dressed with Volth's assistance.

At first, I wasn't used to getting dressed with others help. But after so many years, I no longer care. I was already used to Volth's assistance.

After getting dressed, I waited in my room for a while to stagger the dining time with others, then we headed toward the dining room.

As usual, the mansion was already bustling with activity. Maids moved through the corridors, servants carried trays of food, and occasionally knights passed by.

Arriving into the dining room, I saw no one aside from a couple of maids.

For a long time, I have staggered my dining time from Marquis Bahod, Lucius, and Aisha because I don't like either three of them.

"Young Master, please..." Volth helped me served the food and motioned me to eat.

I looked at the food which was the same old bread, soft pastries, rich milk, and finely cut small fruits.

Sigh! Why is the food culture of this world not as developed as the Magic Technology? I really miss the food from Earth.

Forget it, let's eat!

...

...

...

Volth has left.

After I turned 7, Volth no longer accompanied me for the entire day, giving me ample of free time to move alone.

By the way, this is also the reason why I was alone when I met Lia for the first time.

But since I am alone, what should I do?

Find a maid to play together? A good idea but I am not in the mood to play today.

Then should I go to the library to borrow books to read again? No, I can't muster any interest in reading today.

Should I train to earn Attribute points then? Again no, I really can't muster any interest.

It's all the fault of the dream in the morning. It's because of it that I can't muster the motivation to do anything.

I walked around aimlessly and arrived in the backyard.

The backyard of Anglus Family was very big, much bigger than anything i had ever seen in the past. But today I had no interest in walking around it.

I simply found a quiet corner where no one would see me and lay down.

Looking at the clear sky which looked same as the one on Earth, blurred and fragmented memories emerged in my mind and I couldn't but immerse myself in them.

Father, Mother, Younger brother, little sister, Uncles, Aunts, Little aunt, everyone, how are you doing?

Kiana, Avinash, Yuzu, Satkiran, Abhinav, etc. My friends, how are you all?

Speaking of which, that idiot Kiana, she must be playing games and eat junk food again, right? I really want to smack her head and tell her to eat proper food. It's a pity I can no longer see her, much less chat with her.

But that fool must be fine, right? She won't miss me because no one messages her, right? Probably not. She changed her name to Kiana because she loved Kiana very much. As a gremlin type, she must be fine.

That guy Avinash, he must be focused on making his game and drawing Manga, probably still working hard. I hope he can succeed.

Satkiran, Abhinav and others all have their own lives. Sigh, we all drifted away after college.

Father, he won't overwork himself again, will be? Probably he will. But I hope he can take care of his health. His body isn't as well as it used to be.

Mother, she should be in school, teaching a group of students. I hope her old injuries don't flare up again and let Father relax.

Priyaank, my brother, have you succeeded as a doctor. Help me take care of father and mother, I can no longer take care of them. By the way, take care of the school too or father will push himself to take care of it.

Pragya, my silly sister, sigh! You no longer need to fear the teacher calling me and complaining about your grades and studies...

Uncle...

Aunt...

"..."

"..."

One blurry face after another flashed into my mind and my heart began to ache.

Unlike most Chinese transmigrators who are orphans from birth and directly adapt to transmigration and become Fourth Natural Disaster with no morals and ethics, I had a happy family in the past.

Though I also imagined about transmigration, I never wanted my current life which is the life of Robert Von Anglus.

The Anglus Family in my opinion can't be called a family. Be it my current father, mother, or the others, aside from Lia and her mother, Lilica, they all lack human touch and are classic villains.

"...Brother Robert!!!"
