Chapter 49 - Reunion

Klaire and Carlo arranged to set off for the Andromeda galaxy in two days in the morning. In these two days, Carlo had time to think about what gift he should bring for Aiden. Last time for his birthday he gave him a watch, but Aiden didn't seem to like it much. Unfortunately Carlo was all thumbs, and couldn't make anything himself to give him. He was completely helpless, and could only run to his grandfather Aston to ask for help.

"Grandpa, what do you think an omega would like?" Carlo asked seriously. "For instance, if you were to give an omega something, what would be a good gift?"

Aston smiled until his eyes squinted and stroked his beard. "Who do you want to give it to?"

Carlo scratched his head embarrassedly. "I'm just speaking hypothetically."

Aston gave Carlo's head a hard knock. "Speaking hypothetically my ass! As an alpha, if you like someone, then grow a backbone and go chase them! As soon as the alphas of our Bech family see their target, they act. That year, when your uncle saw Prince Berg in the palace and fell in love at first sight, it didn't take three days before he went to His Majesty to ask for Berg's hand in marriage. If he didn't have that kind of efficiency, could he have succeeded in taking Berg as his wife?"

Carlo widened his eyes in surprise. He never thought that his uncle was that brave, going to His Majesty to ask for Berg's hand in marriage as soon as he saw His Highness. If you switched him with himself...if he went directly to General Craig to ask for Aiden's hand in marriage, he reckoned he'd probably be knocked dead with one blow.

After he thought of this, Carlo couldn't help but hang his head dispiritedly. "I'm not the same as him. At that time, Uncle was already an adult, and he held a post in the military. Right now I'm only sixteen years old, and I'm still a student. I don't have the ability to provide for Aiden's happiness. His father definitely won't agree."

Aston said, "So you need to hurry up and strengthen your relationship. Make him like you, make him feel like it can't be anyone else but you. As long as you two are set on each other, when the time comes, I can help you come forward."

Carlo's eyes lit up. "Really?"

"Yes," Aston said. "You don't necessarily have to give him a present when you meet. What you should do is use actions to touch his heart, understand?"

Carlo said confusedly, "Actions?"

Aston said, "For example, making something yourself for him to eat, or taking him out to play, something that creates more opportunities for you to be alone together."

"Oh." Looking as if he understood, but not really understanding, Carlo nodded his head.

That night after he returned home, Carlo didn't spend any more time racking his brains over what gift to buy, but searched up a bunch of information on the internet instead. He decided to make something delicious to eat and bring it to Aiden. He remembered that Aiden particularly liked to eat fruit and desserts, so he chopped up different kinds of fruit, put them in flour, and made a box of fruit sandwich cake.

Carlo tried a piece and thought it tasted pretty good, so he packed it up in an insulated container.

After he finished the cake and went to sleep, he blissfully entered a dream where Aiden was happily eating the cake he made. In the dream, Aiden smiled and said, "Carlo, you're so good to me, I really like you."

The boy in front of him had rosy cheeks, and he smiled until his eyes curved. He was particularly good-looking. Carlo's heart suddenly felt hot, and he forcefully pulled him into his arms, bent his head, and kissed that pair of soft lips...
