Chapter 101: Side Story-17
JOHN
"What a pretty little beta he is!" The little woman exclaims lovingly,
"Mommy, will you please stop this?" Ruth scrunches his nose, "He is my boyfriend, you know. And he might not like this."
But truth to be told this one of the warmest hugs anyone has ever given me. Warm, kind, and...motherly. "B-But I don’t dislike it." I try to deny the remark meekly.
"See, Ruru!" The woman, I believe to be Ruth’s omega mother exclaims happily. She is hugging me tighter than before. "He likes it! My son-in-law likes my hugs!"
Ruth and I immediately go red. "Mommy!" Ruth rebukes and Joe snorts.
Steve’s little hand tightens around mine. "What is ’son-in-law’, brother?" He asks me innocently, blinking at me with curiosity in his dark eyes.
"Oh my God!" Ruth’s mommy exclaims in awe as her eyes fall upon the tiny finger standing by my side. She immediately lets go of me and bends down to match Steve’s height, "This little one... is he the brother Ruth mentioned before?" She asks who only she knows, as she doesn’t take her eyes off Steve, amusement and love are glinting in them like stars.
Steve however shrinks behind me, his small hands grasping my clothes tightly.
"Oh God, he is so cute..." She then looks up at me, "He just looks like you, John." She smiles warmly at me.
"Agustha, how long do you plan to keep them waiting at the door? Let them in." Another female voice approaches us, but it’s a bit deep and commanding.
