Episode 13

"Grandpa..."

"Where is your husband? Do you think this is right? Where is your respect for him?", scolded Grandpa Fabien to Damen before he could continue speaking.

Mrs. Juliet stood in front of Andrew, shielding him from the old man's view, and signaled him to move away with her hand.

Andrew slipped away through the crowd, giving one last hateful look towards the old man and disappearing without a trace.

Damen's assistant witnessed all of this and hurried off in search of Mikkel.

Mikkel stood bewildered on the balcony, observing the people. There were different kinds of couples; the thought that an alpha woman could impregnate an omega man was something that shocked him.

He himself had the ability to get pregnant, he had never imagined it, but now it was possible.

Mikkel placed his hand on his flat stomach, imagining for a moment, just for a moment, himself expecting a baby and the smiling face of a little boy.

"What am I thinking?", Mikkel muttered, covering his flushed face.

However, he remembered everything that having a baby entailed. His life had not been easy, he had not been fortunate enough to have a good family, and besides, the entire process of having a baby seemed painful.

Not to mention where the baby came out of.

"No, no, that would be painful," Mikkel said, placing his hands over his buttocks.

"Mr. Hyde!", the assistant came running at that moment, shouting his name.

Mikkel turned to see the assistant, who looked exhausted.

"Sir, you must come with me, they are waiting for you," the assistant said quickly, taking Mikkel's hand.

Mikkel was dragged into the hall without knowing what was going on.

"Who?", he asked as he was led by the assistant.

"Your father-in-law and Grandpa Fabien"

"My father-in-law and grandpa?", Mikkel wondered.

Damen's father was only mentioned once in the book, at least up to the chapter he had read.

The grandfather, on the other hand, was never mentioned.

"I should have finished reading that book," Mikkel sighed.

They soon reached the center of the hall where several people were gathered, the assistant guided Mikkel to the front of those people to meet his husband's family.

"Wait, I want to grab some snacks before they run out," Mikkel said, he had promised to bring some home for Mrs. Romy.

"I'll do it, don't worry, I'll grab some for you before they run out," said the assistant, leaving Mikkel at Damen's side.

Mikkel looked at the people in front of him, a tall, elderly man who looked a lot like Damen and a smaller man who appeared to be the grandfather, a handsome old man who radiated confidence.

"You better keep quiet," Damen said under his breath, addressing Mikkel.

Mikkel turned his gaze to Damen and immediately felt anger at the sight of him.

"Shut up, I don't want to hear it," he said in annoyance.

He had heard enough in the garden when he was taken aside by the alpha, the last thing he wanted now was to hear him speak.

"Come here, child, let me get a closer look at you," said Grandpa Fabien, asking Mikkel to come closer.

With some apprehension, Mikkel approached the grandfather, not without greeting him first.

"Good evening, Grandpa," he greeted with a smile.

"Good evening, Sir," he also greeted Damen's father.

Grandpa Fabien smiled and observed Mikkel closely. It was difficult for an omega to resist the manipulations of their family, he understood very well everything that Mikkel had gone through, forced into a marriage for the ambition of his family, thus having to marry someone like his grandson.

He knew the marriage would be over soon, so he would make sure Mikkel was treated well until that day came.

"You look very well, it's good to see you happy, Grandpa will take care of everything now, so don't worry," Grandpa Fabien smiled, gently caressing Mikkel's face.

"Such a kind and handsome young man, I'm so sorry that you have to deal with my grandson and his mother," the grandfather said in distress.

"Don't worry, I'm fine," Mikkel smiled.

Grandpa Fabien took Mikkel's hand and they walked together to the place where the toast would take place.

Damen was in charge of officiating the toast, since he was the one who closed that important deal.

The entire protagonist family was in the center of the hall holding champagne glasses.

With the applause of those present, the celebration continued as normal.

Mikkel helped the grandfather to his seat at the table that had been prepared for the family, dinner began to be served when everyone was seated.

"Would you like anything else?", Mikkel asked Grandpa Fabien.

"No, no, everything's fine, start eating," the grandfather said.

The dinner looked delicious, it was a small amount of food, but easy to eat, something that reassured Mikkel because he would have trouble if it was a strange food he didn't know.

Mikkel started eating, skillfully using the cutlery.

"I thought you wouldn't know how to use cutlery," said Damen, who was sitting next to him with a sarcastic smile.

"I thought you'd know how to behave at a table," smiled Mikkel, looking at Damen.

"Ha, you must be feeling really good to talk like that now," Damen said, taking a sip of wine.

With his grandfather present, Damen didn't have much freedom to go to Andrew's side for now, as his grandfather would make sure Mikkel wasn't humiliated.

Mikkel understood Damen's words perfectly.

"Damen," called Mikkel.

Damen turned to look at the omega, who dared to call him by his name with annoyance, when a piece of chicken entered his mouth before he could speak.

"The food is getting cold, it's delicious, isn't it?", Mikkel mentioned with a big smile as he held the cutlery near Damen's mouth.

They both stared at each other in silence until the grandfather's laughter was heard.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha"

Only then did Mikkel realize that Damen's entire family was sitting with them.

"I'm sorry, it's just that he wouldn't stop talking," he apologized, embarrassed.

"Don't apologize, he was starting to annoy me too," Grandpa Fabien said, patting Mikkel's hand.

Dinner ended without a hitch.

It was late at night when the party was coming to an end, Mikkel got into the car he had arrived in after saying goodbye to his grandfather and in-laws.

As they arrived, Damen also got in with him and they set off for Mikkel's house.

"Here you go, Mr. Hyde," said the assistant, handing Mikkel a large bag with all sorts of snacks inside.

"Thank you, wouldn't you like some?", Mikkel asked.

"No, it's okay, thank you, I've eaten too much already," the assistant declined politely.

"Would you like some?", Mikkel asked, addressing the driver.

"... No, I also ate too much, thank you," replied the driver.

Mikkel nodded and held the bag happily.

"So happy for a simple bag?", questioned Damen suddenly.

"You look like a starving man," he added mockingly.

"Food is a treasure, you have to enjoy it while you can," smiled Mikkel, ignoring Damen's words.

Damen watched the omega in silence, he was such a strange and unpredictable person.

Damen's cell phone rang at that moment and he answered after seeing who it was.

[Are you coming to my apartment? I feel very sad after what happened today], said Andrew from the other side.

"No, I have to go to the main house, my grandfather is waiting for me there, I'll see you another day," Damen replied.

[... Okay, but come as soon as you can, I miss you], Andrew complained.

"Okay, I have to hang up now," Damen hung up the phone after those words.

Mikkel listened to the conversation with displeasure, these two are made for each other, he thought.

Mikkel's house was in sight, Mikkel prepared to get out of the car as soon as it stopped.

"Thank you for the ride, good night," he said goodbye to the driver and the assistant before getting out.

However, Damen got out after him.

"Mikkel," he called in a deep voice.

"What?", Mikkel replied reluctantly.

As soon as he turned to face the alpha, a slice of lemon entered his mouth, Mikkel felt the bitterness of the lemon on his palate and immediately spat it out.

"Cough, Cough," he coughed in disgust, that particular lemon was very bitter.

Mikkel looked up to confront Damen, but the car had already disappeared.

Inside the car, Damen's loud laughter echoed in the place, seeing Mikkel's expression was really funny.
