Chapter 12 - 11

-Alas' Pov-

I sighed as I watched my dad, who had been staring at a blank piece of paper for a while now.

He's probably still worried about Mommy being taken away by someone. Well, that's not impossible, my mom is beautiful and many men pursue her.

I closed my laptop and removed the headphones from my ears.

"You've been staring at that paper for half an hour," I said, and he finally glanced at me.

"I-I'm reading it!" he replied, and I raised an eyebrow skeptically.

"Uh... you're staring at a blank paper. What are you reading, a microscopic letter?" I sarcastically quipped, and he just sighed.

Despite my dad being handsome and many women being interested in him... I still wonder why he can't seem to woo women. How will he win Mommy over if he's this slow?

Doesn't he watch romantic movies? He could get some ideas on how to win Mommy's heart.

"I read Mommy's script. She has a kissing scene with Uncle Dustin. Uncle Dustin drove her here last night, and it's not far-fetched for them to like each other because they've been friends for a long time. It's not bad for me because Uncle Dustin is nice to me. He treats me like his own child. If you don't act, you'll be left behind," I teased.

His expression darkened. Good, now he has a motivation.

"In Mommy's daily life, she spends 70% of her time with Uncle Dustin while you're at home, it's only 30%. Are you okay with that?" I pushed, and he stood up from his seat.

"Of course not! Let's go, let's visit your Mommy!" he exclaimed, grabbing the car keys.

That's it. That's the energy I wanted from him.

I smiled as I grabbed my laptop and headphones.

For the record, I actually don't want to help him, but I miss my Mommy so much that's why I gave him reasons to visit my Mommy. So, my plan is successful.

How about that, Daddy? I outsmarted you again.

-Alisha's Pov-

"It's break time!" Director Lee shouted.

Thank goodness! I'm so hungry! I want to eat!

I raised an eyebrow when I saw Drake approaching me. Why is he here?

I moved away from the set to talk to Drake. It's difficult in case someone finds out that I have a connection with Aushi.

"Lady Alisha!" he called out to me.

I glanced around before addressing him.

"Why are you here? It's not yet time for us to go home. It's just break time," I said, pointing to the car.

Huh? What's going on there?

"President Han and Young Master are inside. They want to have lunch with you," he said, and my face lit up.

Alas is here?!

I ran towards the car Drake pointed to and quickly opened the door. Luckily, it's parked in a somewhat secluded area so it's unlikely that anyone will see us.

"Mommy!" Alas exclaimed and hugged me tightly.

I closed the car door and returned the hug.

I missed this kid. He's always asleep by the time I get home. His hug made me feel like all my tiredness have vanished.

"Mommy, Daddy cooked lunch for you!" Alas said, pointing to the food in the bento box.

HAHAHA, how cute!

"Thank you!" I said with a grateful smile, and Aushi grinned.

"No 'thank you kiss'?" he asked, and I gave him a disapproving look.

A kiss? Should I just smash your face against the wall?

Isn't he embarrassed? Alas is right in front of us!

Alas sat properly.

"Let's eat, we only have 15 minutes for our break here," I said, grabbing a spoon and tasting Aushi's cooking.

Hmmm, he's a good cook.

We happily ate while Drake stood guard outside the car. Thankfully, Aushi still remembered our arrangement.

I wiped my mouth with a tissue when I noticed that our 15-minute break was almost up.

"I'll head back to the set. Our 15-minute break is almost over," I said to them.

"Bye, Mommy!" Alas said and kissed me on the cheek.

I was about to leave when Aushi pulled me back into the car. What now?!

"Rule 6," he said, pointing to his lips.

Is he still insisting on that?

"I don't want to, I'm leaving!" I replied.

"No, you can't. I already gave in once, I won't give in a second time," he said, still not letting go of my hand.

"Aushi, stop! It's embarrassing, Alas is right here!" I argued, but he just grinned and covered Alas's eyes.

I was surprised when he suddenly pulled me towards him for a kiss.

Our lips collided and I could almost taste his sweet lips. My heart raced during those moments.

W-WHAAAAAAAAA! I'm having a mental breakdown!

When I regained my composure, I quickly pushed him away. He smirked, looking satisfied. I just covered my blushing face.

How can he do that in front of Alas?!

"Don't worry, Mommy. I didn't see anything, I promise!" Alas said, trying to suppress his smile.

AAAAAAHHHHH! That smile... Alas saw everything huhuhu!

Father and son really get along when it comes to mischief!
