White Tulips and Daisies

CHAPTER THIRTY EIGHT

Tin stood up and hugged Build. The kid was supposed to hug his Phi's waist but due to the pregnancy, Tin can only hug his huge belly.

"You looked troubled." Build caressed the kid's head.

"Ta is so nervous. His hands are so cold and his voice was shaking when I was talking to him earlier." Tin looked at his Hia as he spoke. "I told him that we should call you so you can come but he said you were busy and this is just an exhibition event."

"We're here now." Wichapas pinched his brother's cheek.

"Daddy, down." Blue fidgeted in his father's arms. The elder put him down and the kid ran to his uncle.

"Tin love, we rode the car and got here to watch Ta love. Is he going to show his nice moves?"

Tin and Blue sat on the bench, Tin telling stories to Blue about their school, their teacher and Ta's training. Build and Wichapas sat beside them. They opt to sit on the first step of the bench since it will be hard for Build to go up. There are a lot of parents and guardians. There are a lot of aristocrats and elites. They would smile and greet Build and Wichapas but the Lord usually just returns the greetings, indicating that he's not open for conversation.

"Khun Jakapan?" A voice made Build look at the left side of the area where the people usually come in.

"Est? Hi." Build smiled fondly at his employee.

Behind the dark glasses, Wichapas' eyes grew dim. His alpha suddenly became possessive, making him hold Build's hand and rest it to his lap. Est read the gesture. He knows the meaning of it as he is also an alpha himself. He knows Wichapas see him as a threat, especially now that his boss is pregnant. Est grinned.

"Good morning, my Lord." Est bowed to Wichapas, a grin still visible in his lips.

Wichapas didn't answer. He didn't even look at the man.

"How are you, Sir?" Est looked back at the sitting pregnant omega.

"I'm better now." Build smiled. "How about you? And what are you doing here?"

"Oh. I am with my fiancé. Her brother is a member of the club."

With that, Wichapas glanced at the other alpha. A sudden feeling of relief streamed down his body. His body seams to each as he drops his shoulder a bit.

"You're engaged? Wow! Congratulations!" Build beamed, eyes wide in shock.

Est scratched the back of his neck, cheeks tinted with blush. "Thank you, Khun. I will send you an invitation to our wedding. I hope you and Lor Wichapas can come."

"Of course. If I can, I will definitely come."

The conversation was halted when the host of the show welcomed the guests. Est went to the other side of the bench where a blonde woman was waiting for him. The kids started to line up, the coach in front. Build and Wichapas looked for Ta among the kids lined up in front of them but they could not see him.

"Where's Ta love?" Blue spoke, standing to where he was once seated. Build had to hold his arm to prevent him from falling.

"That's not his team yet." Tin answered. "They are the second team to perform."

"How did you know?" Wichapas asked.

"I always go with him to practice." Tin eyes his big brother.

Another pang of guilt stream inside Wichapas. Tin was more knowledgeable about Ta than him when he was supposed to be the big brother. He suddenly felt a soft squeeze on his hand that was holding Build's. He looked at the man beside him. There, he found his strength, smiling at him with shining and assuring eyes.
