Chapter 3: My Beauty
 

“Liam! You got us all worried, son!” setting aside the presence of one, Miss Beauty, Kaleb leveled with Liam. He pulled him abruptly into his embrace and took pleasure in his arrival. He was feeling him, smelling him until he cupped his face, saying, “Why did you do that, Liam? You could have gotten hurt, or -”

 

Kaleb stopped himself at the thought of Liam being taken. Considering his family’s wealth, that was not too far from possible. He gulped and pleaded, “Please, don’t do that, ever again. Do you understand me? I don’t know what I would do if anything bad happened to you.”

 

Liam’s arms returned his father’s hold. He took a deep breath and said, “I’m sorry, daddy.” His green eyes wandered to Boris and asked for an apology, “I’m sorry, uncle Boris. I – I did not want to have my injection. I wanted to hide. Don’t worry. I wasn’t hurt. I was with her.”

 

It was as if it took all of him to resume, “I promise not to do it again.”

 

Kaleb was stunned. Liam had the tendency to push whatever he wanted, even if he was wrong. Neither was his son fond of accepting his mistakes. He leaned back with a brow raised and asked, “Really?”

 

“Ehem.” Kaleb looked up. His blue eyes met a pair of dark brown orbs, one that he had grown to admire over these past few days.

 

“I’m sorry, are you really his dad?” Scarlett was finding the right moment to interrupt, but she could not help but be confuse. ‘Didn’t Liam say his father was a fat, white gray-haired man with an enormous belly? This does not look like the father that he described at all!’

 

Before her was a tall, well-proportioned man who looked like a Greek god with striking blue eyes.

 

Prior to this meeting, she had already recognized Mister Pooh’s perfectly symmetrical face, with a pointed nose and thin lips. Just being in the man’s presence was very distracting, especially now that she could clearly see his beautiful eyes. ‘How could this man already be a father? And wait, this is the same, Mister Pooh? He lives in a penthouse? From within a five-star hotel?’

 

“I am Liam’s father. My name is Kaleb.” Kaleb rose from his stance and asked, “And I’m sorry for making assumptions about your name. If you are not Beauty, may I know your name?”
