Chapter 121: A trip to the beach [2]
"Aren’t you going to answer that?" Franz asked as he turned his half-body to look at the backseat. He was sitting in the passenger seat, while his boyfriend, Alex, was behind the wheel, busy on his phone.
Shawn jolted up after Franz pointed at his ringing phone. He frantically fished it from his pocket, wondering why it suddenly rang louder when he could remember himself putting it into silent mode. Was he mistaken?
He briefly paused after reading the name on the screen. It was Kayden Montgomery. After what happened, he ignored his calls and messages.
Shawn was certain Kayden would explain and probably apologize, but he thought that there was no need to clear the air, as they won’t be seeing each other again anyway. Yet he couldn’t bring himself to block or delete his number.
He felt ridiculously relieved after hearing that the alpha’s wedding was stopped. He realized then that the reason was that he was slowly getting attracted to the guy. So, to stop putting himself in a complicated predicament later, he decided to nip his budding feelings.
He quickly slid the end button and turned his phone off instead. Then, he stashed it back on his backpack and forced a smile on Franz who was watching his movement.
Franz returned him a worried smile, "Seems like it’s not something important. It’s been ringing since earlier but you were like in a daze and wasn’t hearing it at all. I don’t want to be nosy, but did something happen again, Shawn?"
The omega shook his head immediately and weaved a lie, "It’s just from home...I don’t need to answer since Uncle Steve already told them I’m going with young master Knox. They’re probably just going to say a few things about acting properly in front of the young master or taking care of him..."
Franz nodded lightly, not daring to probe any deeper even if he doubted the omega’s answer. Then, he giggled and commented, "Young master Knox, pfft. I bet he’d frown at you if he heard that. That guy doesn’t like being called like that, does he?"
"That’s why I’m just calling him like that when he’s not present," Shawn answered, relieved to see the beta wasn’t pushing.
Alex caught their attention by saying, "They’re here already."
