The Mafia Lord's Heir Obsession

CHAPTER 22

Chapter 22

Zylander Howell's POV

"Pwede bang makausap, anak?" Papadad said.

Kumunot ang noo ko. Kanina nag-usap kami ni Dad tungkol sa sitwasyon ni Zen. As much as we don't want to raise Zen's child without his asshole father. But we will listen to whatever Zen's plan is.

Tiningnan ko si Arth sa aking tabi.

"Sige na." He lightly pushed his hand on my chest, nakasandal kasi siya sa akin.

I have noticed na hindi na niya ako tinutulak at hindi na siya nagagalit sa akin kapag lumalapit ako sa kanya.

"You are not sleepy? I can walk you to my room, baby." I said softly. I thought he would protest about us sharing in one bed, but he stayed at ease.

Lumalalim na rin kasi ang gabi.

I heard some coughs coming from my siblings. I guess, they're still not used to me being sweet nor gentle to someone except to them let alone bluntly flirt with Arth in front of them.

"Alam ko naman ang silid mo." aniya.

I can't help but to take a peek on his lips. They're just too tempting for me. It feels like they're always inviting me to ravage and ruin them using my mouth.

"Sige na." Tulak niya pa sa akin matapos sulyapan si Papadad.

"Fine, fine, fine." I surrendered and once again kissed his forehead.

Sumunod ako kay Papadad tungo sa mini office ni Dad dito sa ground floor. Nauunang naglakad sina Dad sa akin kaya malaya akong napalingon.

I smiled when I saw Arth looking at my way. I motioned him to come with me but he shook his head lightly and beamed.

"How was your vacation with Arth sa Sagada, anak?" Papadad asked with a wide smile plastered on his lips upon arriving at dad's office. Yet, I can see how his eyes clouded with the opposite emotion he was giving off.

I know our Papadad. I've been there through his toughest times. I was there during his struggles. I witnessed his fights and wins. Papadad can fake his smile but not to me- not to us.

"It was so good, Papadad. Arth and I are getting closer with each other than before." I answered, smiling.

"Mabuti naman. Siguro nga ay naging mahirap pang kay Arth sa umpisa ang lahat lalo na at hindi ka niya kilala at bigla siyang nabuntis."

Tumango ako doon.

"Habaan mo lang din ang pasensya mo sa kanya, anak, dahil nagbubuntis siya at minsan pabugso-bugso ang damdamin niyan."

Tumango ulit ako. "I know, Papadad. Thank you!"

A long silence stretched between us until dad had spoken.

"Your Papadad told me something, Zy." Daddy pondered cautiously.

I saw how Papadad's hands balled above his thighs. Hinawakan ni Papadad ang nakakuyom na kamay ni Dad. Papadad gave a curt smile to Dad.

Humingang malalim si Dad.

"What is it, Dad? Papadad?"

"Nagkausap kasi kami ni Arth, anak." si Papadad.

"And?"

"Nakuwento ni Arth sa akin kanina, anak, na nakuwento mo sa kanya ang mga nakaraan nating buhay sa Sagada." Maingat na wika ni Papadad.
