Private Detective Wang [ZhanYi FF] with MPREG special / Complete

Chapter 38 - The truth about us

A/N: After a few days break, I finally feel motivated to write again today. Could be, unfortunately, that you find the chapter boring. If so, I'm sorry. The next one will be better.

In the days that Zhan and I spent with my father and stepmother, I got to know my father in a whole new way. I thought I knew him because, after all, he is my father. But those days with him showed me how wrong I was. Partly, of course, it is because people evolve in the course of their lives, they learn, they simply change.

Then I was also still a child at that time and saw my father or in particular, my parents with completely different eyes. For me, they were always the parents who were never at home, because they were always working to be able to offer my brother and me everything that one could wish for.

My stepmother also played her part in making my father change a lot and put his focus on other things than just work. He also told me himself that he regrets not being there more for my brother and me back then. Likewise, he regrets not calling much more often. Or never asked me to come visit for fear of rejection from me. Most of all, however, he regrets that he simply left me behind at that time.

I would say that we have been able to work through a lot during these days. Misunderstandings have been cleared up and I now know that my father really loves my brother and me and wants to see us. We have even planned to celebrate Christmas together in Hungary. My dad, my stepmom, my brother and Cheng, as well as Zhan and me. And I'm really looking forward to it.

To be honest, I wish my mom was like my dad too. I called her a few days ago and she was, not very happy about my call. She said I should have texted her ahead of time that I was going to call her so she could prepare. Why does she need to prepare for a phone call with her son?

In the end, the phone call didn't last 5 minutes because she had to pick up my half-brother from somewhere and didn't have time. Maybe that was just an excuse to end the phone call quickly. For me it was for sure afterwards, I just want to meet her now more and tell her my opinion about her.

But I also learned something else. Namely, how dependent we are on modern technology. I used to say that I wouldn't have a problem if my cell phone didn't work. Or that I didn't need the Internet. Or that I could get by without electricity for a while.

But then I experienced a storm like I never had before. It was the 10th day for us in Hungary. For three days we suffered from a really terrible tropical heat. Just sitting there and breathing was enough to make us sweat. Even for me as a vampire, it had been intense.

In the media and in the weather report, they were talking about powerful thunderstorms being expected, which could even develop into a hurricane. And indeed, there were in many places in Hungary partly very strong thunderstorms. But not where we were. In Budapest we still suffered from the tropical heat in late summer.

Well, and then came day 10. We sat in the garden in the evening and had a barbecue. A few slices of meat and some sausages we bought in the afternoon at the nearby supermarket. A couple of neighbors joined us with a few bottles of homemade liquor. And what was supposed to be a quiet evening turned into a real party.

There was singing, dancing and laughing. Unfortunately, Zhan and I didn't understand what was being talked about. The language barriers had simply been too big and we also did not always want to translate everything from my father and my stepmother.

At some point during the evening, when it was already dark and the party was in full swing, Zhan and I retreated to the front garden. We just sat on the grass and watched the night sky. We watched as clouds gathered and could see lightning flashing in the distance.
