Farewell

"*Sigh*" Shaking her head with a tired face, Sarah turned and walked out of the room, leaving Christian and Elisa in their own world.

Chuckling, Christian wrapped his arms around Elisa's waist and pulled her to him, then lowered his head and sniffed deeply at her neck.

Smiling shyly as she melted into the embrace, Elisa lifted her hands and gently stroked Christian's long hair "How long do you plan to let it grow out?"

During this vacation, Christian didn't bother to cut his hair once. Causing it to already reach a little below his shoulders and most of the time he goes with a bun to avoid discomfort.

"I have to grow it out a bit to get Viking braids" Gently stroking Elisa's cheeks, Christian continued "I'll have braids and war paint on my face, I guess I won't have tattoos like the rest of the cast."

"I'll be looking forward to the next season" Resting her head on Christian's hand, Elisa closed her eyes and murmured "And don't forget to call me 3 times a day, because I'll be very sad if I don't hear from you..."

"I'll be sure to call you every free moment" Gently kissing Elisa's forehead, Christian clung to her gently and closed his eyes, slowly leaning back with all the warmth he loves so much.

***

"All set?" Leaving his suitcase in the living room, Christian turned to Emily and asked.

"I already put mine in the car, let me take yours" Taking Christian's bags, Emily walked out humming with a big smile.

Chuckling, Christian turned and looked around the room for a few seconds, then sighed and walked to the bedroom.

Entering the room, Christian looked at the beautiful redhead carefully putting her clothes away on the dresser with an obvious depressed look on her face, while Helen watched TV silently on the bed.

Walking over to Elisa, Christian gently hugged her from behind and rested his head on her shoulder, then gently kissed her cheek and whispered "It always hurts my heart when I see that sad face of yours... you make it so hard for me to get out of this house..."

"*Sniff*" Biting her lips, Elisa turned within Christian's embrace and wrapped her arms around his waist, then rested her head on his pecs and murmured sadly "I-I don't want you to leave..."

Just like the first time, tears were not lacking in this temporary goodbye.

Elisa who is usually very mature and understanding, has a very obvious weakness with abandonment.

Maybe the cause is as simple as not having parents or simply the loneliness she endured in her childhood, as it could all be about Elisa's fragile and sensitive personality.

But it is something that has never been addressed and therefore, never solved.

Sure, Christian and Sarah can shower her with all the love she deserves, but that doesn't quite take away the insecurities and her sadnesses.

"*Sigh*" Gently stroking Elisa's hair, Christian whispered "You know it's just to go to work... plus I'll come every weekend and we'll talk on the phone every day... plus you won't be alone.... Sarah, my family and our little girl are here."

"*Sniff* I-I know... I-I just... I'm going to miss you so much" Sobbing quietly, Elisa continued "I-I don't like it when you leave..."

"I don't like leaving them either, but they're things I have to do..." Stroking Elisa's hair softly, Christian takes the redhead's chin and lifts it, then stares into those beautiful teary eyes and murmurs "You know I'll never leave you, just like you know I don't like to be separated from you... I promise that in 5 years at the most, I'll never have to travel for that long again and if I go out, I'll go out with you..."

"*Sniff* 5 years is a long t-time..." Lips trembling as she tries to hold back her tears, Elisa replied.

Smiling warmly, Christian gently wiped the tears from Elisa's face and whispered "I'm not saying I'll be traveling for 5 years either, I'll just go out for a few weeks during each year."

Biting her lips with a reluctant expression, Elisa finally nodded and murmured "Well... s-sorry for being so immature and i-infantile..."

"It's okay" Gently kissing Elisa's nose, Christian continued "I love it when you're immature and childish, you light me up every day with that beautiful attitude of yours."

Closing her eyes while smiling involuntarily, Elisa hides her face in Christian's chest and whispers "Silly."

"*Sigh*" With a sigh of relief, Christian carries Elisa like a princess and carries her towards the bed, then lies down together with her and turns his gaze towards his little girl "Come to daddy~"

Taking Helen in his arms, Christian places her between Elisa and him, then wrapping his arms around them both and whispering "I love them."

"..." Blinking repeatedly, Helen looked up and stared at Christian's face, then turned her gaze to Elisa and looked at her silently.

Wiping tears from her eyes, Elisa smiled brightly and kissed Helen's cheek quickly, then turned her gaze to Christian and asked, "How soon do you have to leave?"

"In about two hours the plane is here" Smiling softly, Christian looked at his little Helen and gently stroked her hair, while the little girl closed her eyes and let herself be loved.

"You will eat before you leave, won't you?"

"Obviously, I wouldn't miss your meals~"

"Well, I'll go cook something very delicious~" Smiling sweetly, Elisa kissed Christian's lips quickly and got up from the bed, then looked at Christian and Helen for a few seconds and narrowed her eyes contentedly "Enjoy it while you can."

"You don't need to say it" Taking his little girl into his arms, Christian cradled her to his chest and sat on the back of the bed, smiling softly as he watched Helen's adorable face.

Clutching Christian's shirt, Helen was silent for a few seconds, then murmured, "Daddy.... don't go..."

Opening his eyes a little wider, Christian opened his mouth in surprise and stared at his little girl in obvious disbelief.

In a few months Helen's first birthday is coming up and no doubt the little girl is a genius, maybe even better than Christian.

She already walks, seems to understand a lot of the language, knows how to ask for what she wants, knows how to use all her toys, and has even been seen to take the books Christian wrote and stare at them as if she were reading them.

Although Christian has always encouraged reading ever since he started reading stories to Helen, he never thought his little girl could progress so fast.

But now, hearing these few words and noticing that his little girl knows what he said, Christian couldn't help but feel an emptiness in his heart.

How could he not?

His beloved daughter is growing at an alarming rate and who knows how much she will be able to enjoy this stage. But instead of watching his daughter's every step, he's off to other countries to film trivial TV series.

"My little girl..." Gently caressing Helen's cheek, Christian whispered softly "Daddy will go to work for a few days, but Daddy promises he will come to see you whenever he has free time."

"You have to know that there is nothing harder for daddy, than to be separated from you" Pulling Helen to his chest, Christian rubbed his cheek against hers and continued "Daddy loves you very much sweetheart, never doubt it."

Leaning back on the bed, Christian laid Helen gently on her side and snuggled next to her, holding his face no more than 5 centimeters from his little daughter's face, staring at her with a loving smile.

"You are my everything..." Gently kissing Helen's forehead, Christian whispered, then slipping his hand under his little girl's pajamas and gently stroking her back, causing Helen to close her eyes with expressionless contentment.

***

"See you mom" Hugging Eva, Christian gently kissed her cheek and whispered "Take care of my little girl."

"You don't have to remind me" Smiling softly, Eva nodded.

Separating from his mother, Christian turned to his siblings and hugged them both at the same time, then kissed both their heads and smiled "Take care little dwarves, don't forget to talk to me every day."

"Don't forget to bring me the autographs!" smiling broadly, Alan replied.

"I know" Nodding, Christian turns to Hailie and snorts "You won't say anything?"

Rolling her eyes, Hailie walks over to Christian and hugs him tightly, then bares her teeth in her smile and replies "Take care little brother, if anyone bullies you, don't hesitate to call me."

"I'll keep that in mind" Chuckling, Christian walks over to Leslie and stares at her, then walks over and hugs her gently "Take care~"

"Have a safe trip..." Thinking about it for a few seconds, Leslie finally plucks up her courage and wraps her arms around Christian's back.

Leaning close to Leslie's ear, Christian whispered earnestly, "I left some files on your computer, you need to increase security around my family and make sure they are heavily armed. Some turbulent times are coming and it's best to be prepared."

Frowning slightly, Leslie nodded and replied "I'll get to planning everything."

"Right..." Sighing, Christian turned his gaze back to the plane and looked at the smiling Emily, then turned his gaze to the distance and sighed again "I hope my little girl is okay..."

The farewell to their home was difficult. Between Helen's fixed gaze and Elisa's constant sniffling, Christian had to muster all his willpower not to stay in that field of happiness.

But knowing that this is no time to be careless, Christian took his weapons and sword and set off on his journey. Being completely cautious at every moment.

"See you then" Taking his backpack, Christian gave a last glance towards his family and waved his hand, then turned and walked towards the plane.

Stopping in front of the plane, Christian narrowed his eyes and gave it a long look, trying to find something different than usual inside the plane's carcass.

But having already checked everything in advance, including engine and wheels, Christian finally sighed and boarded the plane together with Emily, then walked to the main lounge and lay down on their comfortable sofas.

"At last!" giggling gleefully, Emily sat down next to Christian and exclaimed "Our first trip begins!"

Laughing softly, Christian shifted on the couch and leaned back against Emily's thighs, then commented "You know I'm going to work, don't you?"

"What does it matter? The important thing is that we'll be traveling together" Without losing her smile, Emily continued "Now that I remember... where's your secretary?"

"She flew to Ireland yesterday to take care of my lodging and everything else needed on the film set."

"Oh, she's useful" Nodding with disinterest, Emily tilted her head slightly and asked "But are you sure it's okay for you to travel? You know they have you in their sights"

"It's for the best" Looking up at the ceiling, Christian continued "If I stay in my home under protection for too long, those people will start to get desperate and take more drastic measures. It wouldn't be uncommon for them to try to blow up my house or kidnap a family member, all to force me out or kill me outright regardless of the costs."

Nodding in understanding, Emily sighed and murmured "It would all be so easy if no one knew you..."

"Maybe if I hadn't exposed that pedophile ring and hadn't gone to jail, that would have been possible..." Closing his eyes, Christian continued "The company could have run normally with my mother or I could even just support myself with my books, I would have still made billions of dollars are with that... but it's already something impossible to reverse, not to mention that we would just be a walking target, there would be no security at all if all this hadn't happened"

"Mn" Humming with recognition, Emily looked down at Christian and gently stroked his long hair, then smiled happily and closed her eyes to rest as she thought 'I'll enjoy every second...'

[A/N: With that, we are officially back to the action plot. Hold on to your pants because the blood will rain.]
