Daniel had woken up from a day of being unconscious but it was not till the family doctor declared that Daniel was okay that they felt relieved.
"What are you doing!? The doctor said you needed to rest more." Laotian walked towards Daniel who's cradling Luangmin sleep. The Alpha circled his arm around Daniel's slim waist and pulled him closer to his warm and hard body.
" I've been laying in the bed all day. I won't get tired from doing this." Daniel replied smiling as he looked at his son. Although he knew that Luangmin is safe with the Mos and Daniella being arrested, He still couldn't stop thinking of the what-ifs. Just the thought of the whole incident really scared him. But since Daniel wanted to be strong for his family, he's trying his best to be not so anxious and think about it.
" If you keep on carrying him he will get used to it," Laotian said, secretly encouraging Daniel to put Luangmin down on his crib now that he is asleep.
" Babies are supposed to be carried Laotian." Daniel frowned still swaying Luangmin on his arms. He can't deny he loved the feeling of cradling his son on his arm. Sometimes he could not help himself.
" Yes, but not all the time." Laotian reasoned, upset that his time with Daniel kept declining and when he does have the time, he needed to let the Omega rest.
" Why does it seem like you wanted me to put Minmin down Laotian? Are you perhaps jealous of your own son !?" Daniel giggled looking up at the Alpha. It is true that they have been getting lesser time with each other as Luangmin grows up and it will continue to grow lesser in the future.
Laotian works during the day and sometimes can't go home for lunch. The only time Daniel has time with Laotian is at night but he still had to take care of Luangmin until he sleeps and wakes up again at dawn.
"I made him. I'm not jealous." The Alpha response still encouraging his wife to lay the baby down.
"Okay, I'll put him down now." Daniel chuckled feeling that the Alpha was definitely jealous of his own son. The moment Luangmin's small body touches the soft foam in the crib, Laotian immediately lifted Daniel into his arms carrying him towards the bed before laying him down softly.
"You have to rest more." Laotian whispered as he lay beside burying his face against the Omega's chest, he rubbed his nose on Daniel's scent feeling relaxed. Daniel may act like nothing happened, Laotian knew he was just acting strong. He knew the Omega wanted to be strong for him and for their son. It pained Laotian to see this but he let it be.
If Daniel does not want to face it now, then he will just have to let him until he is ready. If Daniel does not want to talk about what had happened then he would not talk about it as well, for now, he is just relieved that Daniel is okay.
"I've talked to father and he said we can stay at his ranch this weekend so you can enjoy the fresh air," Laotian said dotingly. He had been thinking a lot of things on how to cheer the Omega up for the whole day. He thought Daniel would definitely be happy if he finds out who else was staying at father's ranch for the time being.
"Hmmm, it's okay Laotian, I don't want you to skip work again just because of me," Daniel replied caressing the Alpha's hair.
"It's okay." Laotian insists thinking that he can still work at night. He was just worried that when Daniel is left alone, he will think too much again.
"If you are so worried about me and Luangmin then we can go with you at work. We'll just stay in your room, you can work while Minmin and I support you, plus we can eat lunch together." Daniel enthusiastically suggested. He really does not want the Alpha skipping his work just because of him. Daniel knew that the Alpha likes working so he does not want to take it away from the Alpha.
"What if you get bored at the office?" Laotian thought for a second and then asked. His office is a boring place, he does not want his wife to be bored there.
"If I'm watching you I will not get bored but when that happens I'll call Hanlu and make him tell some jokes." Daniel laughed remembering the last time he went to the Mo Empire. That time when Hanlu confiscated Luangmin from the couple, he had almost all employees stop working just because he wanted everyone to know his nephew.
In the end, Laotian had trouble retrieving Luangmin back and pictures of Hanlu parading baby Luangmin at the company spread within the employees.
"Please don't." Laotian helplessly. If the employees did not sign a secrecy contract the world would have known Laotian had a son already. Back then it would have been dangerous but now that Daniella was arrested keeping his family a secret will not be needed anymore.
Daniel had also agreed to it knowing that his twin was arrested but if the world knows it through Mo Hanlu it would definitely create another trouble somehow.
"hahaha, You're so mean to Hanlu." Daniel laughs but he felt sorry for Hanlu. He liked his elder brother so much but Laotian was like allergic to him.
"I don't like a 32-year-old man following me wherever I go."
"But you and Hanlu don't even look like you're in your 30's. The Mos really have good genes."
"Did you only realize that now?" Laotian smirked pulling away from his embrace and towering Daniel trapping him against the mattress.
"Yeah, I appreciated it more now. I'm glad Minmin has your genes." Daniel smiled showing his pearly whites.
When he married Laotian, he didn't really focus on the Alpha's appearance. It's like his attraction naturally occurred because the Alpha was the father of the baby he's carrying. Mo Laotian's appearance and wealth only came as a bonus. In the first place, he didn't know Laotian was a billionaire.
" hmm, Don't you think it's such a waste?" Laotian hinted kissing on Daniel's neck. It had been such a long time and he had been yearning for Daniel for a long time.
"I thought you said I needed to rest!?"
"After seeing you being so energetic I felt like you needed someone to help you rest." Laotian slowly caress Daniel's body missing him so much. Even though Laotian gets to wake up with Daniel in the morning every day, he couldn't help but miss Daniel every minute he wasn't with the Omega especially when he's at work.
"Luangmin is turning 9 months in 3 days. I'm not gonna make another one anytime soon." Daniel raised his eyebrows eyeing the Alpha who's slowly stripping off his clothes. But hearing what the Omega had said Laotian stopped his movements, sighing. Of course, he also does not want to make another rival anytime soon he was just saying it to set up the mood.
"* chuckles * alright let's sleep then." Laotian acted as if he was upset and buttoned up Daniel's clothes. Daniel observes the Alpha's movements until they were both settled and was going to sleep.
" I-I skipped my pills yesterday and today, s-so I don't know if it's safe. " Daniel explained mumbling against the Alpha's embrace afraid that the Alpha would misunderstand. Maybe if they had condoms at home they could but they don't. They never use condoms and Daniel thought he wouldn't like that either.
" It's okay. I'll just have to help myself when you recovered. " Laotian hugged Daniel tighter definitely hinting that Daniel should prepare himself when that time comes. Somehow, Daniel felt a chill running through his spine hearing the Alpha's tune. Because of this, Daniel slept worrying about the future.
The next morning, Daniel and Laotian woke up earlier than usual and spent the extra time talking.
"Does it bother you that I don't want to see Daniella?" Daniel suddenly asked, still worried about what had happened in the past couple of days.
"No, I understand. " the Alpha replied. Even he doesn't want to look at the woman's face or he might have committed murder in public. Laotian thought it will be best this way, he is also afraid that the woman would say something that will bother Daniel than he already is.
For Daniel, on the other hand, it's better to forget the bad things that happened in the past. It is sufficient that Laotian himself will never forget.
"Sorry, I just can't face her anymore. She always finds ways to make trouble for me or mess my mind. I don't think it will be good for me to talk to her, or see her. " Daniel explained what he felt. He already had a panic attack from talking to Daniella on the phone, how much more when he faces her. The only thing that Daniel kept thinking is that Daniella is a devil. She's too evil.
" Don't think about her anymore, just focus on Luangmin and me. I'll handle the things that you can't handle, okay? " Laotian said dotingly holding Daniel's cheeks making the Omega feel that everything is gonna be okay. Now that the rat is on Laotian's hands, there is no way that he would let go of it much more now that Elder Mo and Mrs. Mo had learned the truth.
Even if by some miracle Daniella escape her fate, the elders would never let her go. Daniella already experienced a little bit of his family's power, if she keeps on having a blind eye, she will truly feel what it's like to make a Mo an enemy.
Of course, by now Daniella still doesn't believe that her family would just simply give up on her. She truly believes she could still turn the tables around when in fact, something bad will happen to her in a couple of weeks.
Her punishment will start to execute when the judge finally says she's guilty.
