"May I meet my family now?" Oliver asked his next question, to render Ian speechless once again and this time Oliver did not have to wait for him to confirm. He understood the situation immediately. "My family doesn't know that I am here, isn't it?"

Ian nodded, unable to say anything. He wished that Noah or the chatter-box Joshua was here with him to ease the situation. Even Noah's guard Ronnie would have been fine. At least he would not be handling Oliver's questioning gazes alone. 

"Why?"

Ian took a deep breath. Now that Oliver was about to find out everything, it would not take much harm to tell him himself. Someday or the other he would find out all that had happened, so why not today?
