"Why isn't Louis here for breakfast?" Mrs. King asked the young maid who was struggling to speak. Since that night of the party, everyone had been walking on eggshells, afraid they might do something to set the couple off.
"Erm..."
Thankfully, the maid was saved from answering when Louis took the stairs down with some luggage.
The couple looked at him, looked at each other, and then back at him before they stood up and approached him, both looking confused.
"Is there a business trip we didn't know about?" Mr. King asked, even though the luggage looked like he was relocating to another country instead of going on a trip.
"Oh... nothing much. You can continue your breakfast and ignore me. I'm moving out," Louis said casually, as he dropped a box from the stairs.
"What?!" The couple asked at the same time, in shock.
"What sort of joke is that?" His mother asked angrily.
