Doted By The Alpha - Chapter 162

* * *

As the night came, the first group of visitors arrived were William’s family and shortly after were Franco’s. William congratulated Daniel and Laotian and later they went inside to greet everybody else. And since William’s little girls had grown a little bigger, they weren’t as shy as they were before that as soon as they saw Lancel Mo, both sisters started having a crush on the young man.

They were both quick to surround Lan who was kind enough to assist Luangmin all these time like a big brother to his little cousin.

All the a.d.u.l.ts found it cute but of course, little Lan had a different opinion, he had always been surrounded by girls at his school causing some of the boys to hate him and sometimes bullied him. So every time a girl or an Omega started getting close to him, the young man preferred not to get too close. This is the same with the two girls, he didn’t like the two sisters fighting over him so whenever they started flocking over him, he would excuse himself politely using Luangmin as an escape goat. It was rather cute so the elders enjoyed listening as the children interacted with each other.

On the other hand, when Franco and his wife arrived, Daniel especially was surprised to discover that—that macho Omega he once knew had now disappeared. Aidan, who Daniel remembered as a macho Omega had now become considerably smaller and his stomach was obviously the same size as his…

Bulging with a baby!

“Oh My God!” Daniel gasped looking at his fellow pregnant Omega. Aidan was still very charming and handsome but his muscles disappeared and now had gentler and more feminine features.

“Yeah, couldn’t help it.” Aidan scratches the back of his head and with a blush he greets the host of the gathering.

It was Mo Luangmin’s 2nd birthday since the last time they saw each other so it’s definitely a surprise that Daniel is now seeing this huge difference in his body. Also Franco and Aidan purposely hid his pregnancy because they were always in a dangerous situation. They never know when an enemy would strike so revealing that Aidan is pregnant was basically giving their enemies a treat.

“Long time no see. I see we both have babies coming.” Franco commented and greeted Daniel and Laotian as well. Daniel replied and nodded back but his eyes were still on Aidan. He still couldn’t believe all those beautiful and bulky muscles vanished just because the Omega had gotten pregnant, he felt bad because he knew how difficult it was for an Omega to build muscles and now it was gone just like that.

“Hey beautiful, don’t worry. I can grow my muscles back when this monster’s out.” Aidan chuckled, holding on his stomach and flashed a charming smile towards Daniel.

“W-When?” Daniel stuttered and neared Aidan. Unlike last time when Laotian absolutely disliked Daniel getting close with the macho Omega, now he allowed it because the Omega didn’t look like he would be stealing Daniel from him anymore.

“I was already 9 weeks pregnant at Minmin’s birthday, Franco and I just decided to hide it for a little bit longer until this happened.”

Aidan replied playfully pointing at himself. He didn’t actually think he would revert back to his natural appearance but he also couldn’t deny that he liked not being able to be mentally obligate himself to exercise 7 times a week just to maintain his features. Since it was a lot more difficult for an Omega to build muscles because that’s not how they’re naturally built, Aidan had to put more effort into making those muscles but now he wasn’t obligated to do that anymore, he had been very lazy for the past few months that all the muscles he had built for years had now shrunk.

“What? So you’re on your third trimester already?” Daniel exclaimed, still he couldn’t believe but he was extremely happy for both Franco and Aidan.

“Yes, in two months we’re finally having a new addition to our little family.” Aidan said with a giggle.

“Hmmn, we better go ahead and let these two have their chat,” Franco commented at the side nudging on Laotians’ shoulder. For the both of them, this view was just truly wonderful, two pregnant wives chatting about their pregnancies while them as their husband also talk how wonderful this journey was, Franco can’t help but feel proud.

He and Aidan also haven’t been planning to have a baby soon since they needed to prepare everything for their first baby’s arrival but then one day both of them got too excited and forgot to use condoms, Aidan was never on contraceptives and so now this happened. Which both of them didn’t regret. This was a very pleasant surprise.

“Hmmmn,” Laotian simply replied. They walked towards the venue and after greeting everyone, Daniel and Aidan were quick to find themselves a seat and started chatting which left Laotian to greet the incoming visitors.

Twenty minutes passed, another visitor came who was George Sullen and Ronald Ronner together in a formal suit. Laotian simply greeted the two, not much of a talk because he knew he was not the one who the two were visiting so he quickly ordered one of the maids to lead the two towards the garden.

Also this time, Laotian didn’t have to wait too long as another visitor came which was a person he had not seen for more than 10 years. He was in the same group as Laotian, William, Franco, and Hanlu back in the days. After graduation, the man decided to have advanced studies abroad and decided to work right after in a well-known pharmaceutical company in Europe.

“Long time no see,” Henry greeted with his usual charming but somehow cheeky smile. Growing up as a kid, Laotian was actually very close to Henry, the man was practically a family. He was like his younger brother since the man was of the same age as Hanlu.

Although the man was trained to follow them and aid them with their needs, Laotian and Hanlu never treated Henry as such because they’re childhood friends. Basically growing up together, hanging out with each other, Henry was like the brother he never had.

Looking at the younger Alpha now as Laotian shook his hand and briefly hugged him as a greeting, Laotian remembered back then Hanlu and Henry followed him. He knew Henry didn’t want to follow him for sure but he also needed to follow all Hanlu’s whims so it looked like Laotian always had two little apprentices following him around. And while Hanlu was the kind to talk a lot, play a lot and all, Henry was the more mature type. Always calm, collected, and absolutely always serious with his butler position even though he was not treated as such. He just never budged.

“It’s been a while,” Laotian greeted, his expression was still the same but Henry knew the older Alpha was happy to see him.

“Been very busy finding someone…” Henry jokes, “Is the gang here?”,he then added as they started walking to the garden. Actually he could have visited much earlier today but he needed to contact his superiors about his work progress and then quickly find a new place for him to live temporarily before he goes back to Europe again. Since it looks like Ian was already fine and he didn’t have any work left to do for the company, he was ready to go back anytime.

“They’re here.” Laotian confirmed. When they reached their destination, Laotian first introduces Henry to Daniel.

“Hi, nice to meet you.” Daniel greeted warmly extending his hand to hand shake Henry which Henry quickly accepts with an approving nod. He already saw Daniel from the pictures of their wedding since he couldn’t come that time, back then he already thought Daniel was pretty but looking at him now personally, Daniel was indeed prettier; he was stunning despite having a bulging stomach.

“Hmmm, I’ve always thought Laotian would be the last one to get married but now I’m the only one left.” Henry mentioned with a gentle laugh. Daniel also laughs as their hands separate.

“Oh, and my sweet Aidan,” Henry said, noticing Aidan who was still sitting on the couch before Laotian and Henry interrupted their conversation. Although Henry hasn’t been back for more than 10 years, he knew Aidan for a long time because this Omega had a huge crush on Franco since way back in high school. The Omega followed Franco all the time, always on his aid even when Franco had someone he loved back then.

There was also a time when they tried being with each other but it didn’t work because Aidan loved Franco and was determined to be with him even if he’s just his right hand man. And so back then when Henry left, he told the Omega that when he returned and if Aidan was still single, he’d marry him instead.

Alas, in the end, Aidan ended up with his dream man and is now even having a baby with him. He went back to attend the wedding that day but he didn’t really show himself to the couple. He just attended the ceremony, left his congratulations gift and then went back to Europe to continue pursuing his dream.

“Hi,” Aidan greeted, surprisingly with a shy smile that had Daniel so curious. Meanwhile, Aidan remembered what he did back in college and he got so shy with Henry even though they were friends from the beginning.

“You really didn’t wait for me,” Henry joked and that made Aidan blush, he didn’t know what to say even though he knew Henry was just teasing him. Thankfully, Franco arrived and tapped on Henry’s shoulder slightly giving him a warning not to flirt with his pregnant wife.

“Ahh, this is rather a reunion for us.” Henry said this time briefly hugging Franco, he also saw William running towards them and greeted Henry happily as well.

“Hey, damn man! You finally decided to show yourself to us!” William exclaimed and messed with Henry’s hair. Daniel on the side looking at the scene with all of Laotian’s friends together, he couldn’t help but feel jealous because he didn’t have a friend like Laotian did.

Daniel heard a lot about their story and it’s amazing for him that their friendship lasted this long. They were initially classmates during kindergarten, except Hanlu and Henry since they were a couple years younger, but staying friends for this long is really amazing. Daniel kind of wished he had these kinds of friends as well because he never had one. He had always been shy and timid; his only best friend was his mother, Diane.

“Hi, boys. I see you’re getting back together again. This scene is very nostalgic.” Laura interrupted, seeing the boys talking to each other. He could still remember when these men were young and they used to hang around the main estate to mainly annoy Laotian but then later they started truly hanging out and until now they’re still friends.

“Dear, do we still have visitors coming?” Laura then asked Daniel after giving Henry a peck on his cheeks.

“Good evening Auntie, you haven’t aged at all. You’re still as beautiful as ever.” Henry flattered Laura causing her to smile sweetly before gently tapping his shoulder for being such a sweet talker.

“Hmmm, I have a few friends of mine coming.” Daniel replied sweetly. Since Melissa, Josh, and Kent helped him and Laotian on the day of the accident, Daniel thought of inviting the three to this dinner. All three of them were reluctant at first since it was the great Mo Family’s family gathering and they didn’t want to intrude but then Daniel insisted saying it as compensation as well for not visiting him again even though the three never failed to call him to ask about his condition.

Daniel knew it was because the three were busy with their studies since as far as Daniel could remember, prelims should be approaching soon and the three should be starting with studies now but he does not accept that as an excuse to decline his invitation.

“Okay, when they arrive we can start dinner. Sorry to interrupt your reunion, I’ll leave you boys to catch up now.” Laura excused again but Daniel noticed her looking around as if looking for someone. Daniel looked around as well and he also noticed that Hanlu and Ian were still missing. They had been missing, starting from when Hanlu walked out earlier.

‘Where could they be?’ Daniel thought worriedly.
