Parents' Anxiety

A week has passed and today is the day for the special examination which is a surprise for us and we will be travelling for the whole 1 month, i was getting ready and as usual went outside near my car like always with my travel bags, but the sight that i was treated i was stunned it wasn't my driver near the car but a pair of lovely middle age couple were standing there the man was handsome and has black hair and brown eyes and woman was incredibly hot with black hair and green eyes, not anyone else but my adoptive parents.

"What are you doing here?"

"Isn't today your day for your special examination and a whole month trip so we are going to drop you off"

Emma said with a motherly smile on her face and Watson smiled too, i didn't give any expression and just silently followed them to the car throughout the route it was filled with an awkward silence.

If it was previous Alex he would have jumped in joy and cried happily but this isn't, i just maintained a cold look and the whole time looked outside the window.

To ease the weird atmosphere Emma coughed and spoke

"So Alex how's your school going?"

"It's going fine"

"How about your studies?"

" I got the perfect score in the last test"

"And do you get yourself a girlfriend yet?"

"No and i don't have anyone i like"

After this the awkward silence once again descended upon us, it sure is weird today they had never ever tried to converse with me today it's quite unusual. After this Emma tried to converse a few more things but it didn't last long, and we kept our silence throughout the journey.

Reaching on the destination we arrived at the designated destination at seaport getting out of the car I along with Emma and Watson traveled to a massive cruise ship this is the private ship of the principal Harvey and i boarded on it throughout the time Emma and Watson always tried to speak something but nothing came out of their mouth and i boarded the ship.

(Emma's POV)

I am Emma Wright i hail from a Marquise household and married Duke Watson Wright out of love, we lived happily though we couldn't spend much of our time together with our family of 3 me, my husband and our son my little baby boy.

My husband has the duties of Duke which needs to be cared for and i manage Wright industries after our parents in laws passed away due to illnesses. We were busy so we were unable to spend much of our time with him and he grew up in care of maids, from childhood whenever he sees us he becomes too happy and we both always feel guilty to not be able to properly take care of him, he was always smart and hardworking and quiet guy, he never had any friends but then also all of his peers admire him he may not be a sunny guy but for sure he is innocent, kind and cute guy.

All the nobles always were full of praises for him and some even wanted to engage their daughters to him i was really proud of my baby boy.

Growing up he got more craving for love and attention from us which we were unable to give him and he stopped talking to us but easily gets convinced and starts to smile brightly whenever I look at his smile i just think how can there be such a cute thing in the world.

But he got changed he is like a completely different person now at dinner whenever we had, He never finished his stories and just goes on and you can see how much he loves to spend time with us but it all changed i don't know when but now whenever he looks at us his eyes show disappointment and indifference towards us and became completely cold person unlike him i knew looking at him now my heart stings i started having nightmares of Alex leaving our life we tried to interact a few times but as if he doesn't like to interact with us he just gives answers to the questions, the family dinners he was so excited about now he doesn't care and when attends he just completely keeps his quite looking at him now i feel pain in my heart and regretted it to not spent much of time together.

I also started to have nightmares of Alex leaving us almost everyday, and looking at him like that we decided to handle this matter and leave businesses and duties for the time being and spend more time together. Today is the day of his special exam for which he will be out for a whole full month so we decided to see him off. In the car i and my husband both tried to talk to him but no matter how much we try he just replied in yes or no form it was literally an awkward moment we have never ever tried to talk to him and also don't know anything about his interest i also started to doubt that am i really a parent, getting to the port we send him off i wanted to say 'i love you' to him but neither I nor my husband were unable to say that to him.

' I am a failure of Mother ain't I'
