New Family, New Beginning(2)

"Then it's decided, we're going to adopt him."

"I will contact the lawyer to take care of the paperwork," Alvin said.

"Okay,"

A few hours later,

Andrew awoke from his sleep, when he opened his eyes, he found a beautiful woman sitting next to his bed.

"Oh, you're awake," She said with a beautiful smile.

"Yeah, but who're you?"

"I'm Elena Dukas, Alina's mother," She paused,

"... and yours too,"

Hearing her words, Andrew raised his eyebrows,

"What do you mean, mine too?"

"We thought about adopting you," She replies.

He was dumbfounded by what Elena said,

"Adopting me?" He pointing to himself,

"Yup, you're going to be part of our family,"

After her words, the room fell silent.

Without even realizing it, tears stream down his cheeks.

Seeing his tears, she misinterpreted the tears and panicked,

"Don't cry, if you don't want to be adopted, we won't adopt you,"

Upon hearing her words, Andrew realized that tears were streaming down his face. He said after wiping the tears.

"It's not like that. I don't know why my eyes are watering."

When she stopped panicking, she asked,

"So, you wouldn't have a problem if we adopted you,"

"Yup," He nodded.

Hearing his words, Elena hugged him with a smile.

He experienced the same thing when Alina embraced him. At first, it was heaven, and then it was torture.

"Ma'am, I can't breathe," He tapped on her arms.

Elena released him from her embrace,

"Don't call me ma'am, call me mom,"

"Okay,"

"Say it," She looked at him with sparkling eyes.

"M...mom," Andrew said hesitantly.

"Say that again," She said with enthusiasm.

"Mom."

"One more time,"

"Mom,"

"Just one last time,"

"Mom,"

Elena hugged him again,

"My precious little son,.."

The time passed, and it was nighttime,

Elena was talking to Andrew the whole time, as the maid came to the room,

"Ma'am, the is dinner is ready,"

"Okay,"

She stood up and said,

"Let's meet your father and sister,"

'Even after talking for hours, she is still energetic,' Andrew sighed, following her.

As they approached the dining table, Tracy glanced from top to bottom at Andrew,

'He's so cute.'

'Should I hug him?'

'Ahem! No, I can't. As a mature person, I can't act like a child.'

"You guys are here," Alvin said.

"Yeah,"

"He is Alvin Dukas, your father from now on, and the girl next to him is Tracy Dukas, your sister," Elena introduced them.

Andrew looked at Tracy, as he looked into her eyes, he noticed that she had the same gaze that Alina and Elena had when they saw him.

'She wants to hug me,'

He thought that she would react the same way as Alina and Elena had, but Tracy just sat there staring at him to his surprise.

'Why didn't she come? Maybe I saw it wrong,'

He looked at her again,

'No, I didn't see anything wrong. It's like she wants to hug me, but something keeps her from doing it.'

Andrew pounder for a few moments,

'If she can't do it, then I'll do it,'

Andrew walked towards Tracy. Seeing him approaching her, she began to panic.

'He is coming towards me, what should I do?'

'What should I do?'

As he moved closer to her,

'No, don't come. If he got any closer I wouldn't be able to hold myself back,'

He stopped near her chair and hugged her.

'Why do you stop here?'

She looked at his face. He also looked at her.

Her eyes grew wide when she saw what Andrew did next. He hugged her. That also caused others to look surprised, but it soon changed into a smile,

'I can't,' Tracy thought.

When she had reached her limit, she also hugged him back. As Tracy had modest breasts, he didn't feel suffocated as he felt when Alina and Elena hugged him.

She let him go after embracing him for quite some time.

"Our Ice Queen has melted," Alina remarked.

Tracy's face became red with embarrassment as she heard Alina's words.

Everyone laughed when they saw her red face.

"Hahaha,"

"Haha,"

"Hahaha,"

Andrew sat next to Tracy, while Elena sat next to him. Everyone began to eat.

"We will begin your training next month," Orson said as they finished their dinner.

"Why next month? Not tomorrow?"

"It is because of your treatment, we do not want any problems to occur."

"Alright," Andrew lowered his head, disappointed.

Seeing that, Orson said,

"But you can do basic exercise and also you only have ten days to decide,"

"Decide what?" Tracy asked,

"For him to figure out what his dream is,"

"But isn't it too short?"Tracy said,

"Can't do anything about that," Orson shrugged.

Grandpa and granddaughter got into a heated argument and lasted a few minutes,

As they were arguing a butler come and put some medicine in front of Andrew,

"These are the medications Rainier instructed you to take," Alvin said,

Andrew took the medicine without complaint.

Once Orson and Tracy had calmed down, they began to head back to their room.

"You're going to sleep with me," Elena said while taking his hand,

"No, he will sleep with me," Tracy took his other hand.

This time a tug of war began between mother and daughter, with Andrew acting as the rope.

"He will sleep with me,"

"No, with me,"

As they were arguing, Andrew looked at Orson. Feeling Andrew graze, Orson murmured,

"I can't do anything,"

Then he walked away.

The scene repeated when he looked at Alina.

"Neither do I."

'You traitors,' Andrew shouted inwardly.

Andrew gazed at the last hope, Alvin, Seeing his face, Alvin said,

"Why don't we let the kid decide who he wants to sleep with?"

Hearing his words, both Elena and Tracy stop and looked at Andrew intensely,

"Why don't we all sleep together?" Andrew said,

"That's a good idea," Tracy said.

"All right," Elena said,

Andrew looked at Alvin.

'Thank you for your help. You're the best.'

Alvin also nodded with a smile,

'The house has become much more lively,' Alvin thought.

In Andrew's room, Andrew was sandwiched between mother and daughter.

'It's warm and comfortable,'

Both Tracy and Elena gave him enough space so that he could move freely.

'He falls asleep within seconds.'

Next day,

Due to the medication's effect, he woke up at noon after a deep sleep. He washed his face and left the room.

In the guest room,

Alvin and others were sitting with a black hair woman. She was wearing an office suit.

"What is the name of the kid?" The woman asked.

"Andrew," Alvin said,

"No, wait. I don't want that name." Elena said.

"Why? It sounds good." Alvin asked,

"I don't think this name brings him any pleasant memories,"

"You're right about," Alvin said.

"Then what should be his name?" Alina asked.

"Edric,"

"It's a good name," Orson said.

"We call him Eddie at home," Elena said excitedly.

"But you guys should ask him first before changing his name," Alvin said.

"He is right about that,"

Orson called a maid and asked her to check on Andrew. As the maid walked out of the room, she saw Andrew walking down the stairs.

She got near him,

"Sir, Master is calling for you,'

He nodded and followed her.

As he enters the room, Alina said with a smile,

"You are finally awake, sleepyhead."

"Yeah," He said in embarrassment.

"Stop teasing him," Elena said.

"Your mom wants to change your name, so what do you think? Are you okay with that?" Alvin asked.

Andrew looked at Elena, noticing her bright eyes.

"I don't have any issues with that. This name does not hold good memories for me. I don't even know who gave me this name."

Hearing his words, Elena took him close to her and made him sit on her lap.

"I'm sure we will make a lot of wonderful memories in the future," Elena said.

"I hope so."

"So, what will be my new name?" Andrew asked.

"Edric. Edric Dukas,"

"What do you think?" Elena asked.

"It's a nice name,"

"And we'll call you Eddie at home," She said while hugging him.

After some time,

The black-haired woman made the documents and gave them to Alvin.

"Congratulations, you are now the official parents of this child," The woman said with a smile.

"Thank you for your help,"
