Alan and Jeff returned to the dining table with the Lil Rak.
Although North's appearance was disappointing, it was also not something worthy of attention for them so the two of them looked calm.
Alan glanced at Jeff. He was worried that Jeff will be angry because of North but found that he was only focused on taking care of Lil Rak food and drink.
The corners of Jeff's mouth were still rising and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it.
Alan's eyes were so focused on him, that Jeff couldn't ignore it. He raised his head and asked Alan directly, "What's wrong?"
"I thought you would be very angry when you see him again."
"Why I need to be angry? Not worth it." Jeff smiled bitterly, "But even if I am angry, what can someone like me do? At best, it's just a bit of complaint."
He has always seen it clearly, if one single-handedly fight people like North with bare hands can be good but it is already difficult to live decently so need to make trouble.
The counterattack in novels and TV shows is very cool but in reality, how many people who are bullied can really make a counterattack?
Maybe he can retaliate and go back in peace for a while but there will be endless troubles.
Who doesn't want to slap back the people who bullied them? In the end, Jeff clearly knows that he can't afford the price.
He still has someone to protect.
Jeff touched Lil Rak's head.
But thinking of North's embarrassment just now, Jeff felt very relieved.
He had to admit that Alan can do a lot of things that he can't.
Facing the huge disparity between the two, Jeff's attitude has gone from rejecting at the beginning to now reluctantly accepting it.
Alan stared at his smile blankly. He knew that Jeff was not timid, not just avoiding blindly but he was a mature person and it was this lucidity that made him stop from dreaming instead face the cold reality.
Tight, full of vigilance and doubts about himself all the time.
But the more sober Jeff was, the more it made Alan feel distressed.
Alan's low voice was full of firmness, "Jeff, I will not let anyone bully you and Lil Rak in the future."
The words were too ambiguous, but they did not arouse any waves.
Because his voice was completely overwhelmed by the sudden cry of the little guy.
"Dad. Dad. wuu.. ah.. ah.. ah.." Lil Rak cried and pointed to his throat, "Thorn! Fishbone, pain!"
Alan and Jeff were startled, "What?"
Jeff look down at Lil Rak's bowl, when he was talking to Alan the little guy actually pulled the entire fish into his bowl and he had already taken out a large piece of fish belly.
It's really terrible, he is not afraid to eat it!
Alan hurriedly check out the bill and then took Lil Rak to the nearest hospital with Jeff.
After the turmoil, the fishbone was finally taken out and Alan don't know how this little guy handled it.
Jeff looked scared when his son accidentally swallowed it.
Lil.Rak was afraid of being scolded by Jeff, so he hid in Alan's arms and cried.
Jeff patted his ass, "Look. Next time you are greedy, you have to come to the hospital."
Lil Rak was still crying "wuuuuu...",Jeff felt that his voice seemed too pitiful, so he broke his stern face.
When he came over, there really wasn't a single tear but he was fake crying.
Jeff angrily laughed by him, "Rak Thanapon. Where did you learn it from?!"
Alan, who sheltered the little guy, jumped out to share the firepower, "Jeff, Lil Rak knows it's wrong. "
Teardrops really hung in Lil Rak's big eyes, "Dad... I know I was wrong. Don't you, don't be angry. I- I still have a little pain."
Jeff glared at Alan, he immediately shut up.
Jeff gently grabbed Lil Rak's face, "There will be no more snacks this month."
Lil Rak screamed, grief as if the sky had fallen and the little milk's tone changed. "What!~"
"There is no McDonald."
"Wuuuuu..."
Lil Rak was really bitter now, he was so sad that it was a real feeling of crying.
Jeff ignored him. He stared at Alan and warned him with his glare, who favored Lil Rak without any principle, "You are not allowed to sneak anything to him."
Alan nodded quickly.
The little nurse on the side watched the excitement for a long time.
These years, husbands with babies are not uncommon but husbands who are so good-looking and responsible are rare.
Children are also rare to see them so beautiful and cute. Parents are easy to be short-tempered, shirk each other's responsibilities and fight in front of each other in the face of a word that doesn't fit.
However, their family atmosphere is exceptionally good. They can't help but smile and say, "Your family's relationship is really good."
Jeff froze for a moment. Alan raised the corner of his mouth slightly and nodded to the little nurse.
Seeing Alan's smile, the little nurse seemed to be inspired and then said sweetly, "You two look very good together."
Jeff frowned as soon as these words came out and he couldn't refute the little nurse.
He looked at Alan subconsciously, but saw that Alan looked all right and even seemed to be in a good mood.
Jeff thought, maybe Alan didn't care about it?
HIs heart is so happy.
Alan was in a good mood until he returned home.
After returning home, Alan took two gift boxes to Jeff's room.
Jeff had just changed into his pyjamas and was about to fall asleep. He was a little surprised, "You prepared a gift?"
He only bought a small chocolate house for Lil Rak. Alan was too formal.
Alan looked at him nervously, for fear that Jeff would not accept it, "It's just an ordinary small gift."
Jeff was indeed hesitant. He always felt that Alan was very good to him lately.
Like at the beginning, he thought that Alan gave him something to give to Lil Rak because it is obvious that Alan's recent consideration for him is not love for the house and the family reputation.
He is more and more confused, why do you want to do this?
Lil Rak come over and accept it. He jumped over with the Christmas presents.
Jeff had to take it and opened the gift box. They were two scarves which belonged to the parent and child, it's a pair.
Jeff glanced at it hastily and closed the lid. Putting it in the closet, Alan stopped talking when he saw Jeff's movements but, in the end, he didn't speak just his expression looked a little depressed.
Lil Rak immediately took out his scarf and wrapped around his small neck.
It was a white fluffy scarf with two bunny ears on it. This fits Lil Rak taste too much.
He like it so much. He said will not take it off in the warm room with the air-conditioning turned on. It was so hot that his forehead was sweating.
"Dad, I will wear a rabbit tomorrow. Tomorrow!"
Alan's depression was dispelled by Lil Rak's unconcealed love for the scarf.
He squatted down and helped the little guy put the scarf on and wanted to ask him, did he like it better than the one sent by Pete but in the end he still held back.
It seems that he was just over thinking. Although the recent Alan does have this trend of competing.
The next afternoon, when Alan had just finished the meeting, he finally got rid of a group of people who had little knowledge and had to give pointers when doing task.
He relaxed, sat back in a chair and pinched his eyebrows. He will be off work in an hour and he will go back.
After two hours, he can see Jeff. He has never liked getting off work on time like he does now.
The assistant knocked on the door and came in, "Mr. Hemmawich, Mr. Supanut is here looking for you. Do you want him to come in?"
Alan frowned.
He and Way hadn't seen each other for a long time. It should be for North's business.
He sighed, "Let him in."
Way Supanut walked in, went straight to sit down in front of Alan and said with a smile, "I just came back from a business trip for a few days. I haven't seen you for so long, why do you have this expression?"
Alan looked at him dismissively," You come for your brother?"
Way said shallowly, "Not only because of him. I have something to tell you, it's no good to discuss here. I know a new French restaurant has been opened nearby and the taste is good. Let's go there."
"Then you go out and wait a while." Alan opened the file on the desk, with a cold attitude, "I still have work to deal with."
"Okay."
Way walked out of the office like this, the smile on his face finally couldn't hold back.
He and Alan are a match made in heaven especially in public eyes but there's always this indifference atmosphere between them.
Way wants to be someone special to Alan so he has been waiting for Alan to take the initiative.
But he waited until Jeff Thanapon come grab it first.
No one like Jeff Thanapon, no one would like that wretched, cunning and vicious person.
But as early as four years ago, Way discovered that Alan was shaken. The moment Alan handed Jeff room card, he couldn't bear it anymore.
He knew the stupid thing North did. The next day North came to him crying, saying that he just wanted to see Jeff make a fool of himself.
He didn't expect Jeff to enter Alan's room. North was so drunk that he didn't know his own malicious moments will lead to much trouble.
Way is not a good brother. In fact, he has always been very impatient with this spoiled brother but he is used to pretending to play the role of a good older brother.
Playing the role of a good obedient son in front of his parents and an elegant boy in public. He is an elite talent, even in front of Alan, he will try to adjust himself to a state that will make Alan comfortable.
He thinks that everyone will modify their nature appropriately to gain recognition from the people around them.
This is a normal thing, especially for families with their status, which is too common.
So even if he was furious and hated North but after knowing Alan's attitude towards Jeff afterwards. He could only educates North with a few words on the surface and there is no more.
He did not directly question Alan but tried to test him in a roundabout way.
He learned that Alan and Jeff were divorced soon then Jeff walked out of the picture.
The person who hindered them finally left and Alan finally got rid of the shackles but everything did not go as smoothly as Way thought.
Alan was still indifferent to him but Way was used to this indifference and he was convinced that in Alan's heart, he had always been the most suitable candidate.
Everyone thinks so, Way Supanut and Alan Hemmawich are destined to be together, which make Way very confident.
He knew about the child earlier than Alan did but he didn't take Jeff seriously.
It was not until yesterday that North told him how Alan defended Jeff and when he took action against him.
Way discovered that the original matter was uncontrollable long ago, so Way came to Alan immediately.
Way waited for a long time before Alan came out of the office and the two went to the French restaurant, Way said one after another along the way.
Alan was absent-minded, Way looked in his eyes but he still smiled slightly and looked very gentle.
The two of them had a meal in silence. Way couldn't hold back for the first time, and said, "I want to apologize to you about North's matter. He had no choice but to say that yesterday."
Alan picked up the wine glass and took a sip. There was a hint of condemnation in the tone, "Apologize? Do you know what he did?"
"North doesn't take care of it. He thinks I'm annoying and never tells me about his issues and my parents spoil him too much. You don't know that he'd become so arrogant." Way smiled. "He's been like that since he was a child. Do you remember when he was in high school because the girl in the class wrote a love letter to you and quarrelled with others?"
"Do you know about when he gave Jeff drug that night?"
Way's smile freezes on his face. Seeing his expression like this, Alan has verified it in his heart, "So you know it."
Way's face was bitter, "I-I only found out later. But things are already happened, what can I do."
"Then what do you want to do with me today? Plead for North? Way, don't you think the things he does is really not right? Do you think he don't need to be punished?"
Way lowered his head and after a long silence, he raised his head and looked at Alan.
"Alan, you have never spoken to me like this."
Alan's eyes were dark.
"I came today, firstly is to apologize on behalf of North but I only apologize for him and I can't control anything else. If you don't want to accept it, I have nothing to say."
Way originally wanted to persuade him. Alan stopped but he was observing Way's words, Alan would never listen to him and immediately changed the front of the conversation.
"The secondly is the matter between us."
He took out a small black box and pushed it in front of Alan.
Alan opened it. There were two rings. He looked at Way suspiciously and didn't understand. What is his intention.
"What do you mean?"
"Alan. In fact, I have been waiting for all these years. Waiting for you to say it first, I am not reconciled. I like you more than you like me."
Way looked disappointed with a lonely smile, "But now I have figured it out, I don't want to wait any longer. If there must be one person bowing his head between the two of us, then that person is me and it's not impossible."
