Transmigrating from a zombie world to become the mecha kings wife-Chapter 302: Baby star

"You look happy." Cecily commented, when Scarlet came back to the kitchen after making her private phone call. She was carrying Justin in her arms and little boy was looking at the strangers in his house curiously. His eyes also moved to the fruits on the kitchen counter occasionally.

"Mm, Esong has concluded the business which took him to the grey star successfully." Scarlet replied.

The money had been transferred into the account they were given and Esong would be signing the contract on her behalf. She had asked him to secure workers from the grey star as well to start construction immediately. They had to build with those beautiful stones which they crafted. The honey extraction could wait for now, the land was hers so she was secure.

She would be the owner of a resort very soon, less than three months if everything moved at a great speed. Personally, she would be as poor as a church mouse because all of her accumulated savings were going into the building of that resort. Thankfully, she did not need to personally fund the blue star anymore. Taxes, food sales, business licenses and other income avenues were taking care of that.

She would be richer if she found a cure for the darkness. Her experiments were coming along slowly because she was following the recipe for the internal heat pills. They were positive but the effect was not as potent or quick acting as she would have liked.

Lately, she was thinking about giving up on the pills and making a liquid medicine.

Tion and two other personal guards who knew what she was researching in her private laboratory inside her training room had volunteered as her test subjects willingly when she mentioned what she was researching. But, it was a slow process, and their healing progress was moving at the pace of a snail.

If only she had an endless supply to rejuvenation water, she could just bottle it up and sell it as the cure. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Cecily tapped her on the shoulder and asked, "Why are you out of it?"

"I am thinking about the many things I have to do and how so little time I have." Scarlet answered.

"You have assistants and servants, use them." Cecily suggested.

"Me, use me mummy." Justin who had calmly been watching them talk while he rested his head on Cecily’s shoulder said.

"I always use you in the kitchen baby." Scarlet took him from Cecily’s arms into hers.

If Esong were here, he would not approve of all those carrying him around. But, she just loved to spoil the little boy.

Playfully, she kissed his cheeks and bit them softly.

Justin giggled and squealed as he wiggled, "Don’t eat me mummy, my meat is not sweet."

"We won’t know until I take a bite," Scarlet answered the little boy and she went in on his arm for a bite.

"I taste like the broccoli." Justin declared.

She raised her head and looked at her son in shock. "Oh, so you finally call it by its true name and not tree meat."

"I am smart mummy, not so?" He asked.

"Very smart. My baby is the smartest little boy in the whole world." She replied.

"Did you hear that great grandmummy, Justin is the smartest baby in the whole world. Tomorrow, when I go to school I will tell teacher Peggy."

"Of course you should." Cecily encouraged him with her own happy smile.

"And I can tell her the story of night time for baby star." Justin added.

"I knew it, you are so wise and thoughtful Justin." Cecily continued to indulge him.

"Do you know know how the story ends? You always fall asleep before I finish reading it to you." Scarlet pinched his cheek and resisted the urge to bite it again.

As she played with him, she did not forget to keep an eye on the television staff who were still setting up. Mr. Rodney had not come with them today, he was becoming busier, it seemed.

His female assistant, was here and she was mimicking his actions incredibly accurately. All she lacked was some white paint on her a face and a black and white stripped outfit to resemble an old school mime.

"Mummy, mummy, listen, I can recite the whole story for you." Justin turned her face around with his small hands to face him. "Once there was a baby star. He lived near the sun and every night at bedtime, the baby star wanted to have some fun. He would....uhm..."

"Shine." Scarlet said.

Justin smiled and nodded, "Shine and shine and shine and shine..."

"And fall," Cecily interfered and brought him back on track because he had added too many ’shines.’

Justin smiled and continued, "And fall and shoot and twinkle very bright."

"Oh, so bright." Cecily amended.

Justin nodded and he continued, "And he said, mommy I will run away if you make me say good night."

Scarlet jumped in and said softly, "And his mommy kissed him on his sparkly nose and said, no matter where you go and no matter where you are, no matter how big you grow and even if you stray far, I will love you forever, cause you’ll always be my baby star."

Then, she kissed Justin on his nose and squeezed him so tight.

Justin struggled in her arms and said, "Mummy, you didn’t let me finish the story."

She kissed him on the cheek and said, "Sorry baby, mummy got carried away."

It was her favorite story to read to him because he was her baby star.

"I will go again mummy." he declared. And then, he started over, telling the story of the baby star.

Still, Scarlet and Cecily had to jump in because he forgot some words or substituted them for what was simpler in his vocabulary.

They never even noticed that the green light was on and the drone cameras were already recording because the worker in charge of controlling the cameras was enjoying the family dynamic between mother and son.

Mr. Rodney’s assistant who had briefly stepped out of the kitchen to make a phone call returned and noticed that the cameras were already rolling. She slapped the camera man on the head lightly and asked him to shut it down.

The governor was vehemently against airing her private family life unless she approved it.

Then she called out to Scarlet, "Governor, it’s time."

Scarlet looked over and said, "Coming."

Then, she looked at Justin and asked him, "Assistant chef, are you ready?"

Justin said seriously, "Yes, assistant chef Justin is ready."

"Then follow me, and remember to behave. If you are tired, you can rest or go to your great grandmother." she cautioned and reminded him.

"Yes chef mummy."

"Alright, let’s go." Scarlet led him to the kitchen and the broadcast started.
