Chapter 190: The Annoying Beta
Rhett had a complicated look on his face as he also stared at Kylo.
A myriad of emotions flashed through his eyes, from pride to guilt and a nagging sense to protect his son. But he withheld himself, ushering Kylo to take his seat.
Rhett knew Kylo had work, so wondered just how he’d been able to come. Luckily, Kylo spoke, answering the question in his head.
"I took an excuse from work and so did so many other men out there. It was made mandatory by the military." Kylo folded his arms in front of his chest as he sat.
Oh, that’s right. That made sense, for the enlistment to commence, the military must’ve informed the different private and public organizations to give those workers who passed the requirement a few hours leave.
Before Rhett could utter a word, however, the Beta spoke up. "You two can continue your father-son bonding moment some other time. Now, Kylo, how old are you again?"
Kylo creased his brow slightly, looking from Rhett and then back to the Beta. He’d obviously taken offense at the Beta’s tone but chose to remain silent and ignore it.
Rhett smiled to himself. At least his son could control his emotions when necessary, just like him.
"I’m twenty-five," Kylo answered calmly.
Darius nodded with a satisfied look, managing to surprise Rhett a little.
"Perfect. Not too young but not old either." Darius turned to Rhett, giving him a smile that irked him to his bones.
