Chapter 72: Preparation For The Banquet (2)
The Duke couldn’t really endure even a few minutes of being mad with his son. Although he wasn’t really mad about it, He also understood that as Arren grew up, he would need to spend most of his time with his chosen alpha, and that time finally came.
He was still a little reluctant about entrusting his son to others, but Arren was obviously happy with being the Emperor. One thing he was fortunate for and relieved about was that it was Spade, and Duke Evan trusted that he would treat his treasured son right. If not, he would choose his son over any loyalty.
Still, he had to ask. He had to be sure.
"Son, are you happy?"
Arren lifted his head and looked at his father at this question. He noticed that his father was watching his face intently, and it seemed that the question had a few hidden meanings inside.
And he was aware of what it was. Arren’s arms around his father’s tightened, and the corner of his eyes began to heat up. His dad always thinks of him first, and now he suddenly feels guilty for taking his father’s love for granted most of the time.
Without averting his gaze, he nodded at his father and smiled genuinely.
"Yes, dad," he answered, and his smile widened through his eyes as the corner of his eyes glistened from the forming tears. "I’m truly happy, so, dad. You don’t have to worry too much, and... thank you. I love you so much, dad."
As soon as he finished, the tears streamed down his cheeks. He became emotional because of the question; it was just that he felt that the seemingly innocent question was filled with genuine feelings from his dad. As a result, he couldn’t stop himself from being emotional.
