Alex and Sera continued to chat until they arrived in front of Smith's store. The old man could be seen outside smoking, and when he saw them coming, he glanced in their way, his eyes slightly widened for a moment when he saw the handsome young man beside his daughter, he chuckled. Smith then glanced at his daughter who was happily chatting with the handsome youth like they were close friends.
Smith was astonished, his daughter wasn't this careless, they must be a story behind her behavior. He decided to tease her and at the same time gauge the youth's reaction.
''Dad, I'm home.. How was your evening?" Sera asked.
''Boring, so decided to smoke outside. I thought you said you were going to be alone. Where this brat come from? Is he you man?'' Smith asked.
Sera smiled bitterly before glancing at Alex who was playing the stranger. Her father did not seem to recognize Alex after the change he went through.
Before Sera could open her mouth and explain, her father asked.
