A/N

The dreaded talk with the Chen family is about to happen. Hope for the best lol

Chapter 21

A woman about as tall as Eddy opened the door. She looked young, and had long black hair. It was obviously his sister Belle, since his mom wasn't that young.

"Aw, Eddy, you made it just in time!" She exclaimed, throwing her arms around him in a hug. Then Belle's eyes landed on Brett. "Oh my God, you actually got a mate."

Eddy rolled his eyes, hugging her back. "Yeah, yeah, love you too. Belle, this is Brett. Brett, Belle."

Brett put on his best smile and held a hand out for Belle to shake. "Hello, I'm Brett Yang. It's a pleasure to meet you." Belle reached over Eddy - who she was still half hugging - to shake hands with Brett enthusiastically.

"Nice to meet you," She grinned widely, letting go of Eddy to motion them inside. "Come, come, follow me."

The mates shuffled inside, where they placed their shoes on the rack and were led to the living room by Belle.

"Lian, come say hi," Belle called into the living room.

A little girl looked up from where she was playing with dolls on the floor. A wide smile erupted on her face as she jumped to her feet. "Jiùfù!"

She had large brown eyes and long, straight black hair pinned up in a bun. Lian was probably around seven. Eddy squatted down, opening his arms for a hug. "Hey, how's my favorite niece?"

She ran over, leaping into his arms. "I'm your only niece, silly."

Brett smiled at the little girl and turned to Belle. "Where's your mother? These flowers are for her."

He knew from experience that most children would be a bit cautious around strangers, but given time, they'd come at their own pace. Especially if they weren't alpha or omega. So Brett was okay with being ignored; the girl would come if she wanted. But now was the time for him to introduce himself to the alpha of this house as quickly and politely as possible.

"She's in the kitchen. We were cooking when you two came along," Belle motioned to another room.

Eddy glanced at Brett. It was probably a good idea if he came with his alpha to introduce him, so it wouldn't seem like some random alpha was in their house.

Brett nodded his thanks to Belle and made his way to the kitchen. He knocked politely at the open door and smiled at the woman inside.

"Hello, Ms. Chen. My name is Brett Yang - I'm your lovely son's mate."

Ms. Chen looked up from the leek she was chopping, brows furrowed. The name seemed familiar, especially the last name.

"He didn't bribe or threaten you to show up to cover his ass for his work addiction, did he?" The women seemed very skeptical, so Eddy had probably pulled a similar stunt before just to get them off of his back.

"No ma'am, he did not." He rubbed the mark Eddy left and showed it to the alpha. "I'm afraid I've stolen your omega son from the family. But I'll bring him here every once in a while."

Brett laughed and held out the bouquet. "I brought flowers. Eddy told me you like white roses, ma'am. I hope they're to your satisfaction."

It was very important for him that the alpha approved of him.
