Chapter 130: Bonus Story–Welcome Home-Part 2

Thomas appeared, grinning. He hopped onto the dock and patted the metal shell of the plane.

“Hey Mila, your expression is priceless!”

“Thomas! This is unbelievable!” I was about to run up to greet him when Soren interrupted us.

“Took you long enough,” Soren arched an eyebrow. “For a two-day trip, you managed to make it three.”

“What took me so long?” Thomas retorted, pointing to himself. He had puffy bags under his eyes like he hadn’t slept in a while. “Two days is one way! Since when have I become your servant, getting everything ready for you? Soren, I swear, one of these days, I’m going to punch you in the face!”

I watched the two of them interact. In the past, I always thought Thomas was only Soren’s Beta, his subordinate. He was usually respectful and formal towards Soren when others were around. It was rare to see them joke.

It wasn’t until Thomas showed up a few days ago that I realized that their friendly teasing was a normal part of their relationship.

Thomas was more than Soren’s subordinate. He was Soren’s friend, best friend. Perhaps, even like a brother.

I smiled at Thomas, hoping to ease their harmless tension a little.

“Thomas, you look tired. I’ve been wondering where you’ve been the past few days. Is everything okay?”

Thomas turned to me, replacing his fake angry face with a smile. He shifted his eyes back to Soren quickly and then to me again.

“Thank you, Mila. At least, SOMEONE cares about me!”

I chuckled and covered my mouth. “So, you’ve been getting what ready?”

Soren cleared his throat.

“Well, my tasks are done, and Soren will tell you everything. But if you get the chance, give him a good punch for me.” Thomas winked at me.

“You two and your secrets!” I crossed my arms.

Soren wrapped his arm around me. “Let’s go. It won’t be a secret for long.”

He glanced over his shoulder at Thomas. “And Thomas, I have some furniture ready to be picked up in a week. Take care of them.”

Thomas growled.

“WHAT!? I’m your f*****g Beta, not your slave!”

“It is for your godchild; do you still want to argue?”

Thomas’s anger disappeared immediately. He gaped at both of us.

I caught the triumphant smile on Soren’s lips. As he led me by Thomas to the plane, I heard him murmur to his Beta, “Thanks, man. It means a lot.”
