They couldn’t speak anymore because of the loud shouting and had to retreat. The employees left one by one, looking dissatisfied with not being able to hear what they wanted to hear. The chief, who had been watching the employees’ backs as they grumbled and walked away, turned around and went into the office.
The sweet scent of pheromones still lingered inside the room. He paused for a mont, but soon ca to his senses and hurriedly opened the window to ventilate the room. He even pretended to blow air by waving his arms in vain to get rid of the man’s traces a little faster, but it wasn’t easy.
“Ha.”
Soon, as he sat down on the chair exhausted, he suddenly rembered what Ashley Miller had said.
“I’m happy if my son doesn’t kill anyone.”
The cold purple eyes that had been directed at him ca back to life, and he shivered, shaking his head quickly. Unpleasantly, he then rembered the first ti he had seen Grayson Miller. Seriously, the super alphas are creepy.
Dane was still bewildered by the unexpected situation and just blinked. It was the first ti in his life that he had t soone with the sa traits as him. To Dane, who was just looking at him in a daze, Koi was excited and started talking.
“Oh my, what an incredible stroke of luck. I’m glad I ca here. I’m so lucky!”
He grabbed Dane’s hand in excitent. Dane was flustered because he wasn’t used to this, but he didn’t push Koi’s hand away. Koi continued, still not hiding his excitent.
“Why don’t {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} we have so tea together instead of doing this? Let’s go sowhere and talk for a bit...”
“Koi.”
A deep voice suddenly ca from behind. The two of them looked in the sa direction and saw a tall man who looked incredibly similar to Grayson staring at them.
“Ash! Grayson, my child!”
Suddenly, Koi shouted in excitent and ran to Dane, saying, “Wait a minute,” and Dane, who had gotten up awkwardly, watched in surprise as he passed Ashley Miller and hugged Grayson, who was standing behind him. Grayson naturally hugged Koi and patted her on the back, then smiled at Dane and said, as if telling him to listen.
“Daddy, co in.”
Daddy? Koi?
Dane’s mind, startled, soon began to ask questions. But why isn’t his last na Miller?
As he stood awkwardly, he suddenly felt a sharp gaze. Dane soon t eyes with a familiar man who was staring at him intently.
The man slowly opened his mouth, still fixated on Dane, as he was struck by his cold purple eyes like a snake.
“Koi, why were you holding that man’s hand?”
Incredibly, the man’s voice was so affectionate and soft, the exact opposite of his gaze toward Dane. It was as if he had lted candy and made it into words. Dane was dumbfounded, and Koi’s voice ca into his ear.
“Ah, Ash. Uh.......”
Koi, who was about to say sothing, stopped. He looked back at Dane’s face once, and then suddenly hesitated, but soon answered cheerfully.
“It’s a secret!”
The atmosphere suddenly turned cold. The pheromone scent floating around the man beca stronger and even felt murderous, but only Koi didn’t know about it.
Between the man glaring at Dane with a scary gaze, Grayson looking at the distant mountains as if he had experienced this enough, and Dane not knowing why the man suddenly showed up and was acting like this, Koi smiled brightly and said.
“Ash, what are you going to do now? Are you going to Grayson’s house?”
“......That’s right.”
While answering, the man reached out to Koi. He watched from afar as the man who had naturally taken Koi away from Grayson held him in his arms and buried his lips in his hair, but Koi suddenly said sothing.
“Then, can I invite him? I’d like to have tea with him and talk.”
Grayson and the man’s gazes turned to Dane at the sa ti. Dane wanted to decline right away, but he wasn’t in a situation where that was possible. Also, he couldn’t help but know them even without an introduction. How could he not recognize them when they looked so similar? If that’s the case, then the two of them must have been... ... .
“Dane, it’s late, but I’ll introduce you. This is my dad and dad. Dad, dad. That’s Dane Striker.”
Grayson naturally pointed at them alternately before finally turning to Dane. When the man and Koi fixed their gazes on Dane, Grayson spoke in a voice that sounded sowhat proud.
“This is my lover who lives with now.”
Their gazes turned to Grayson at the sa ti this ti. His face was shining with joy, but Koi and Ashley’s reactions were completely different. In contrast to Koi, who was opening her eyes and mouth wide in joy, Ashley furrowed her brows seriously and looked at Dane with suspicion from Grayson.
A chilly air hung in the living room. The California sunlight pouring in through the full-length windows on one side was warm, even hot, but despite that, only cool air lingered between them.
Ashley Miller sat with her legs crossed, slumped deep in the back of the chair, staring at her son sitting across the wide table.
They returned to their respective hos in their own cars and sat separately in pairs. Grayson followed Ashley into the living room, and Koi naturally dragged Dane to the tea room. And so Grayson and Ashley sat alone together.
The employee who had placed refreshnts in front of them disappeared just as quickly as he had appeared. Once the two were left alone again, Ashley slowly moved her eyes in the silence. As she looked down Grayson’s body and narrowed her eyes, Grayson soon noticed the aning. He had been shaking one leg wildly under the table, but he soon stopped moving and apologized.
“I’m sorry.”
“Don’t act so vulgar.”
Ashley pointed out coldly and lifted the teacup to her lips. Grayson waited without moving at all until she drank the hot black tea and put the cup down.
“When did you take off the pheromones?”
“Two days ago.”
Grayson answered Ashley’s question imdiately as if he had been waiting for it. Ashley fixed her gaze on her son’s face and opened her mouth.
“What did you say would happen if you lied?”
The tone of voice was not much different from before, but the air changed sharply like a blade. Grayson imdiately changed his words.
“I’m sorry, I don’t rember exactly.”
Grayson lied naturally. Of course, he rembered the day he had spent an ecstatic night with Dane so clearly. He had been updating the anniversary every day. And today was the 28th day.
I should spend the 30th anniversary with Dane.
Grayson felt good just thinking about it. Ashley stared at his face, which unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth. He didn’t trust Grayson’s words at all. This must be a lie again. Thinking that, Ashley didn’t make it a problem anymore. Anyway, if Grayson just obediently followed the words, there would be no problem.
“I’ll find a party date close to the secretary team and send it to you. I don’t want the pheromones to build up.”
“Oh, it’s okay.”
Grayson woke up from his imagination and returned to reality.
“I have Dane.”
Ashley looked at her son with a blank expression.
“What does that have to do with removing the pheromones?”
Grayson had thought the sa way until now. They were separate issues.
But things had changed. Above all, if it weren’t for Dane, his Virginia wouldn’t react. If this wasn’t proof of fate, what could he say?
But saying this would only upset Ashley. Grayson replied with a grin.
“Yes, I will.”
Ashley stared at her son’s face as he obediently answered. An eerie silence followed. Grayson, who was sitting in silence, receiving Ashley’s gaze, finally spoke to his father.
“Grayson, what happened if you didn’t remove the pheromones in ti?”
“You’d go crazy or go crazy.”
Grayson answered without hesitation and smirked.
