“He cried, so I want to take him back.” Bing Yu Xue insisted, reaching for the baby.“Go back to your seat, he was merely asking for more food, not looking for you.” Alex said, ignoring her.Bing Yu Xue frowned, stubbornly pursing her lips.“Bing Yu Xue, this child in my arms is first and foremost, my son before anyone else. I don't understand your need for ownership towards him. You can try to take him though if you think I'm intentionally making him cry.” Alex said, pretending to be amused while in fact he was very angry at being disobeyed.“Kaiser…” Yu Xue began, reaching for the baby. But the baby ignored her, rather holding Alex's hand with both of his hands, trying to push it into his mouth.Alex stared coldly at Bing Yu Xue, making her feel frightened, she quickly went back to her seat and continued eating grudgingly, not knowing why she suddenly felt afraid.“Mac, bring the special soup for the baby.” Alex said, making everyone frown. Mac brought out a very fragrant pot of so
Alex smiled warmly at her. “Do we need to go anywhere special? I will just drop by at CloudSea, and we will go shopping for goodies. Let's go out on a date. Don't you want?” Alex asked, still smiling. “Of course, I want. I will go get ready right away.” Ariella whispered with a grin, quickly getting up.Eleanor smiled happily, feeling happy to see father and daughter bonding. But her brothers just smiled sadly. They couldn't help but think that Alex was trying to distract her from engaging in any martial arts training for the day.“Can I tag along?” Aridan suddenly asked, looking at Alex.“Of course, you're Ariella's purse.” Alex replied without hesitation, making some of the people at the table chuckle.Eleanor smiled, thinking that a big family was not as bad as she initially imagined after all. As long as Alex was there to keep the peace, smooth things out, and also hold his men in check, there would be no problems at all. “Aridan, yesterday in your room, I saw a familiar girls'
Alex quickly dashed into another corridor in the hallway, following the complicated sections to another direction. He hid behind a cupboard housing cleaning supplies, waiting for the person to follow him. Immediately he finally got a whiff of the person's aura, he hissed and came out, grabbing the person by the arm, and pushed her into an empty changing room.Hera Vanderbilts yelped in shock as Alex caught a hold of her.“Why the fuck are you stalking me?” Alex growled, holding her arm tightly. “You're hurting me.” She whimpered, making Alex's eyes snap to the spot where he was holding her in a vice like grip.He loosened his hold and caressed her arm in apology, feeling remorseful. After the set back he experienced days ago, his senses became heightened, especially as he realized how serious they were to find him and gain their desires.“You know it's rude to stalk someone, right? What if I had acted rashly and ended up hurting you, thinking it was an assassin?” Alex asked with a sc
Alex watched her with furrowed brows, hearing bits of her call from the little sound waves reaching him from the phone.“What do you mean by young master is missing? That's your business, you better provide him as soon as possible.” Hera snapped, cutting off the call.“What's wrong?” Alex asked with a frown, pretending to be totally clueless.“The guards just told me that my little nephew is missing. They were with him as he walked around, but they suddenly can't find him. I need to go.” She whispered, hastily picking up her bag. Alex frowned, remembering that he intended to find Ariella just before he met Hera and got interrupted from his mission. “I will come with you, I also intended to find someone as well.” Alex whispered and got to his feet, hurriedly, adjusting his clothes. Hera rushed out of the room only to bump into some staff who was staring at them suspiciously.Alex ignored their gazes and went after her, pretending not to hear their hushed murmurs, suggesting that th
Alex noticed the drama going on but pretended not to see, keeping a poker face. Even Kaiser himself seemed to be enjoying Hera's discomfort. “I do appreciate the gesture, sir. However, what I yearn for the most is the health of the old man. As long as it's something you can help us with, please spare no expense in getting him well. That's what I truly want right now.” He whispered with a serene smile, inserting one of his hands into his trouser pocket. Hera sighed in relief and Kaiser smirked at him, earning him an evil glare from her. However, he wasn't perturbed in the very least. He merely chuckled and pretended he didn't see her anger.“That's good, then. Dad, my friend here is a very filial son. So, you have to help good people as much as possible. We should set off right away and check on his grandpa. Let's go dad.” Ariella said, grabbing Alex's arm.“Excuse me? Right now, I have other things to do young lady.” Alex said, trying to disengage her hold on him. “Cancel your sche
The air in the elevator turned glacial, and cold sweat dripped down Hera's face. She struggled to remember how the situation suddenly deteriorated to that extent. Kaiser looked up at Alex in horror, his breath catching in his throat.“Dad, don't get angry. They will get hurt.” Ariella whispered in panic taking Alex's arm.“Shut up! You're the origin of all this mess. If you didn't start yapping nonsense, I wouldn't have heard so much disgusting words.” Alex growled, knocking hey hand away.Ariella yelped, acting like a cold catalyst on Alex. His anger Immediately receded like the tide, and he quickly pulled Ariella away from the grasp of Kaiser who had caught her when she fell. The elevator opened at that moment, and Alex tightened his hold on Ariella.“Let's go home.” Alex whispered, dragging her out of the elevator.“What?” Kaiser whispered, feeling incredulous. Didn't Alex promise to help his great-grandfather? What's up with acting all pissed off and leaving without them? He wonde
Hera rushed to the rolls-royce which Alex just entered, trying to stop him. However, Alex shut the door behind him, while the two cars behind him also roared to life, ready to set off. Hera quickly dashed to the front of the Rolls-royce, blocking it with her arms outstretched. Aridan quickly stepped on the brakes, feeling horrified. The other cars behind also stopped, narrowly escaping being rear ended by the car behind. Tears were streaming down Hera's face as she stood before the Rolls-royce with her arms outstretched, and she never bothered to wipe it. The Vanderbilts family guards also appeared at that moment, restraining Kaiser who was shouting at her to stop humiliating herself and come with him. Alex cursed out loud as he watched the woman crying before the car. Ariella was already sniffing. “Dad, everything is all my fault. That aunty only said that as a joke because of the things I said to her, she was only trying to retaliate. She wasn't trying to get you angry. Dad pleas
The sounds of Hera's whimpers were messing with Alex's mind, giving him a headache. But he was also afraid of actively comforting her because of what often follows when people attracted to each other tries to act the gallant comforter of the sorrowful one.He took one look at Ariella, realizing that nothing improper would happen with her right beside them.Alex wiped Hera's face and caressed her back gently, taking a deep breath.“Please, stop crying. You're making it look as if I'm a bad person. We're almost at the Vanderbilts manor. Do you want the old man to attack me thinking I beat you up? Stop it already.”Hera forced a smile and quickly reached for her phone to send a message.Within thirteen minutes, the first cars which were Kaiser's convoy stopped before a mighty bronze gate, and after a few seconds the gates opened on its own, letting them in. Aridan drove the Rolls-royce to the front porch where the old man and some staff were waiting. Hera quickly wiped her face, and adju
