The Marvelous Elijah’s Return

Chapter 7

Redemption

The sunlight streamed into the room through the window as Elijah sat up in his bed and turned around to see who entered his room.

As the morning rays fell onto his face, his eyes met with Butler James standing on the other side of the room.

“Good morning, master.” Butler James said politely as he closed the door behind him quietly.

Pushing the cover off him, Elijah  slid out of bed, running his fingers through his hair as he asked,  “What brings you here, Butler James?”

“Master, your mother wants me to inform you that  breakfast is ready downstairs.” Butler James informed.

“Okay, thanks. Just let her know that I’ll meet her soon,” Elijah replied,  rubbing the sleepiness out of his face as he headed toward the bathroom, closing the door behind him.

After brushing his teeth and washing his face, he took a comforting shower, trying to relax as he did so.

Then he stepped out afterward, wrapped a towel around himself, and walked over to his closet, grabbing a simple Sweatshirt and a pair of jeans out of his wardrobe, and putting them on quickly.

After that, he went downstairs, entering the dining hall to find his mother already sitting at the table, eating a slice of strawberries.

“Morning, mother,” Elijah greeted softly, walking to the table slowly and pulling out a chair for him before taking a seat.

“How did it feel sleeping in your bed? Great, right?” Mrs. Maxwell asked with an enthusiastic smile, hoping that he might answer yes.

“It was,”

“Then how about you stay for at least a couple more days, son…”

“Mama, you know I can’t do that. My flight is booked for  this afternoon, and I have important things to attend to tomorrow morning.”

Pouting, Mrs. Maxwell looked over at her husband, frowning at him as he walked into the room and sat down in one of the chairs across from her, and set the newspaper down on the table.

“See what you have done to our son.” Mrs.  Maxwell muttered, glaring at her husband before looking back at Elijah. “He’s a man. I want my baby back and in my arms again.”
