Chapter 49: Admit it
As a brief silence fell between them, with every passing second, Zenith felt strangely anxious inside. Gawking ardently at his face, Zenith skeptically inquired him back, "Why are you even asking the obvious, Mr. Clark? Are you doubting that boy now just because I am fending for him right now?
"Be honest, has my father been feeding too much bullshit to you these days? Or maybe you are getting old to be forgetful about identifying an Alpha’s trait, eh?"
The more Zenith’s body language appeared unsettled to Mr. Clark, the more he realized Kylian wasn’t just someone ordinary to him. There was definitely something in between, but Zenith was blatantly refusing the truth.
"I understand, I just wanted to confirm it once. As long as you stay with an Alpha, President Agastya has no problem with it."
Mr. Clark gave him a cordial response after a brief contemplation, followed by a faint warning, "But...I hope you do remember that you are strictly forbidden from being near an omega, and of course I do know that you hate them too."
"Hah!" Hearing Mr. Clark’s curt answer, Zenith tossed a furious sneer at him. A vein popped at the side of his broad neck when he gritted his jaws, "So you were actually dubious regarding my father’s opinion, huh? I wonder, when would that old man just stop butting in between my life! His deliberate actions make me hate him even more than ever."
Grumbling his vent aloud, when Zenith was about to turn around to head back inside the hospital, Mr. Clark grabbed his arm from behind before urging in a serious voice, "Next week, I do think you remember that it will be Madam’s 13th death anniversary. As always, I hope you will show up in the mansion this time too, Young Master."
The furious expression on Zenith’s face was suddenly replaced with a cold blank face as his pitch black eyes grew dim. He couldn’t utter a word word and stood still for a moment, leaving an anticipated silence between them.
With a heavy exhale, lowering his eyes down, Zenith yanked his hand away from his grip, while answering him with a small arc of sad smile, "Just thinking about visiting that mansion churns my stomach from disgust. But...yes, I will still come, otherwise, Mom will be hurt because of me."
