Chapter 4: Leaving the orphanage

"What?!"

"You don't want me to?"

"No, I just... I thought it would take a while to, you know..."

"I see. Well, I know you won't mistreat me. You are a good man. And I have somewhere felt jealous of the kids who got adopted before me. So, now that I have a chance to do something better in life, I don't want to leave it and blame it on others saying something like 'I am in this position because of you' and all that."

And this was also the truth. I always felt left out in here because Ray just took care of us providing us with food, water, shelter and clothing and nothing else. Forget about the other kids aged 5-10.

And now I can even get in the sports school I wanted to and which I wasn't able to attend earlier. It's fate if someone from such a high social standing is offering to adopt me. I am sure I can get into many better things if I stay and if he does something to upset me, welp, I will run away. I am also curious about the aura I felt from him back there. I think it has something to do with the demon I unleashed back then. This is another reason I wanna go with him to investigate more about that demon and whether he has any connection with it or not.

That man was just staring at me. "I promise you. I will treat you like the prince you are."

"Haha, I am not a prince. I am just a human, so I just need respect from you if nothing else. I will respect you in return. And thats the bare minimum." Because respect is the only thing that is the base of all relationships.

"And uhh." He scratched his head a bit. What is he trying to say? Does he feel that it would be offensive or I would think of it that way...? "You can be honest." I said looking at how hesitant he was.

"Oh? Umm, yeah. So... You can call me 'dad' if... you want..." He was shrinking... His face had become red. My man... is also shy of being called that way...

But Calling him dad...

I can't! It's wayy to embarrassing not to mention when this guy looks barely anything more than 30.

"By the way, what is your age?"

"Oh me? I will turn 40 this year." Wow! Look at how well his body is built goddamnit.

"Tell me your beauty secrets please."

"You still are young concentrate on growing up rather than looking young. Do that after you become 30."

"Heh, well ya." Can't deny that but he looks so young ya.

"About what I asked earlier..." Uh oh," About you..."

"ah, yeah...." I said feeling awkward. I still can't ya. We have just met goddamnit. It's way to embarrassing.

"Yes..." He said. Is he getting what I am feeling too? Thankyou Lord!

" That's so Awkward" I suddenly heard Mrs. Jullieta's voice from the door that was wide open. I- wait when did the door to the main gate open?

"I came to take back my mobile when I saw the door open and you both talking. The whole conversation went about so awkwardly except a few parts. You both should concentrate on talking more when you get home. Aishhh! I wanted to shoot myself with the amount of cringe there." Wow this woman is unhinged af. And by how much of an accent she's putting in, I feel like she had given up on us both. But she should not say that like we are still in the initial phase.

"It will happen over time Mrs Jullieta." I said protecting my side and why I didn't wanna call him dad.

"Hopefully. But congratulations to you both." She said.

"Thank you so much."

"Thank you Jullietta." Dad said.

Well it will take some time for me to get adjusted with him but I liked the way all if it was going. I just hope my new life goes well too.

Translator's note:

So this is the last chapter for this volume the next volume will be longer than the first two and also many new characters and stuff will be introduced along with a lot of action. I don't intend to make it centered around romance in this volume so if you looking for that it's not it for Volume 3 guys. Moving forward, do you think Mathew Regar is sus or not. Tell me in the comments below. Also tell me how do you find the story till here.

And if you free, try listening to this story via Audio feature of webnovel, idk why it sounds funny NGL.

So yeah that was all see you in the next volume guys~
