Love Me, My Omega! - Chapter 130
“What’s wrong, hmm? Why are my baby’s eyes swollen?” Justin said as he cupped Tristan’s cheeks, looking at him with a worried expression on his face.
His cat-like icy blue eyes looked so sad from seeing how Tristan looked when he came back with Daniel.
Justin looked at his brother, his eyes asking him why Tristan looked like a total mess. Daniel just shrugged and walked away so as to not get in the way of the couple.
‘He’s calling me baby when he’s six years younger than me. How cute,’ Tristan thought as he tried his best not to smile.
The moment he and Daniel got back to the banquet hall, Justin came running to them and left the twins in his parents’ care. He got so worried that Daniel might have hurt Tristan that he ran to them right away.
Although it was an adorable sight, Tristan’s heart still ached when he saw Justin’s face. What Daniel told him earlier was still engraved in his mind that he even felt a bit embarrassed to face Justin right now..
“I said don’t want it!” Chesca’s sudden yell echoed in the hall. Justin and Tristan turned in her direction to see what was going on and saw that Chester was hiding behind her while Theodore was showing them a bug.
‘Where did Theo even get that?’ Tristan thought as he stared at the bug from afar.
“I’ll go to Chesca for a while,” Justin said and pecked Tristan’s lips. “I’m coming, too,” the alpha said. The two of them then headed in the twins’ direction.
“Theo is scaring Chester!” Chesca said as she frowned at Theodore. “Why? This isn’t scary,” the little boy said as he stretched his arm out, even more, scaring the little girl and making her step backward.
When Justin got to where they were, he took a look at the bug Theodore was holding and saw that it was just a toy. There wasn’t really a reason why the twins should be scared since it isn’t even a real bug, but they seem to be unaware of that fact.
“Oh no!” Theo said as he deliberately threw the toy bug at Chesca. “KYAAAA!!” Chesca yelled with teary eyes as she moved backward, pushing Chester in the process and making the both of them fall to the ground.
Chesca started crying as she got off from being on top of her brother. She immediately ran towards Justin and hugged his leg. Chester followed her too with tears in his eyes from getting a bit hurt because of Chesca. “M… Mommy… Theodore is b… bad…” she sobbed.
Although Justin shouldn’t smile because his daughter was crying, he found himself smiling a little, finding the little girl cute.
“Mommy, my arm hurts…” Chester pouted as he looked at Justin with eyes full of tears. He showed his arm to his mommy and Justin saw that his arm really was a bit red, scratched from his fall.
“This naughty little boy! Theodore, how many times do I have to tell you not to scare other kids?”
Justin looked up and saw that it was Troy, kneeling in front of his kid while squinting his eyes at him.
“What? It’s fun,” Theodore giggled. “Goodness…” Troy sighed and pursed his lips. “Say sorry to your cousins, hmm? Mommy won’t buy you that new game if you don’t,” he threatened Theodore.
Theo paused for a while, thinking of what he should do. He then started walking towards the twins and said, “I’m sorry. It was just a toy. I didn’t think you would be that scared.”
“Anything to add, kiddo?” Tristan said as he looked at Theodore.
“I won’t do it again. I promise,” the little boy said as he pouted. “Theodore said sorry, Chesca, Chester. Will you forgive him?” Justin said in a gentle tone as he rubbed the twins’ back.
“Hmpp!” Chesca turned her back at Theodore and hugged Justin even tighter. She didn’t want to forgive her cousin for scaring her like that. However, Chester, on the other hand, nodded at what Justin said.
He decided to forgive Theodore. Although he scratched his arm a bit, he knew he wasn’t that hurt so he just forgave him right away.
Theodore didn’t like how Chesca did not forgive him after he apologized. He took the toy bug from his pocket and said, “Chesca, I’m going to give this to you.” Chesca frowned at him even more because of what he said. “You should scare Jace and Tori next time,” Theodore beamed with sparkling eyes.
Chesca suddenly imagined how her friends would react if she scared them with the bug, and she giggled just from thinking how shocked they would be. “Okay, we’re friends now,” she said as she took the toy from Theodore’s hand.
Chesca and Theodore then played again with each other, while Chester stayed with Justin and Tristan so he could get his arm treated.
“I’m so sorry for Theodore. He’s a very naughty and playful kid,” Troy said in an apologetic tone. “I don’t want my son getting hurt again. A little scare is alright, but please tell him not to scare other kids too much,” Tristan said as he looked at his brother.
“Yeah, I will,” Troy sighed.
Justin told Daniel to take the first-aid kit from Tristan’s car and handed him the keys. The couple then headed to the bathroom with their son to wash the part of his arm that was scratched.
They went out as soon as they finished washing the small scratches on Chester’s arm and Daniel handed Tristan the first-aid kit to treat the little boy.
“Daddy, did you cry?” Chester asked as his arm was getting treated by Tristan. “Hmm? Why would you think that daddy cried?” Tristan asked as he smiled at his son.
“Your eyes look ugly,” Chester said as he stared at Tristan’s face.
Justin, who was just watching them, giggled when he heard what Chester said to Tristan.
Tristan chuckled and said, “Daddy didn’t cry. Daddy is just a bit tired that’s why my eyes look like this.”
“Really?” Chester looked at him with curious eyes.
As Justin watched the two of then converse, he thought that he was like watching two Tristans talk to each other.
‘Chester really looks a lot like him,’ he thought as he smiled.
“All done!” Tristan said, already done treating Chester’s arm.
“Thank you!” Chester said and gave Tristan a kiss on the cheek after treating him. He also kissed Justin, and ran in Chesca and Theodore’s direction to play with them.
“Now that Chester already left, would you like to tell me why your eyes are so swollen after you spoke with my brother?” Justin said as he raised his brow at Tristan.
The alpha, who was sitting on a chair, looked a bit frightened to see Justin’s facial expression. He looked like he was mad but was just suppressing it.
“It’s nothing, really!” Tristan said as he smiled at him. Justin sat on the chair facing Tristan where Chester was sitting on earlier. “Are you gonna keep this up?” the omega said as he looked at Tristan coldly.
Tristan was too embarrassed to tell Justin that he was crying because he heard what he has gone through. He also didn’t want to tell him that because he knew that Justin will only get reminded of those days and he might also feel sad.
Analyzing how Justin looks right now, he knew that if he didn’t tell him, he’d get mad at him and he probably wouldn’t talk to him for days.
Tristan sighed in defeat. “I heard… I heard from Daniel… You had a very hard time after we… broke up…” he said, pausing in between his words because he found it a bit difficult to breathe.
“So? Are you gonna beat yourself up because of that? Is that why you tried to hide it from me? So you could blame yourself for it?” Justin sighed as he frowned at him.
Tristan looked down, guilty that Justin was right. “Listen,” Justin said as he held Tristan’s hands. “You don’t have to blame yourself for anything. None of it was your fault. You wanted to go ot the cafe and meet with me, but you couldn’t. You didn’t want to end our relationship then, and that’s more than enough. I also didn’t regret going through that much because my experience from that time also helped me grow as a person,” Justin said.
He removed his hand from holding Tristan’s. He put his hand under the alpha’s chin and lifted his head.
“Look at me,” Justin said as he stared into Tristan’s puffy and swollen eyes.
“I love you so much. The past doesn’t matter anymore. What matters is what we have right now,” Justin said with a gentle look in his eyes.
Tristan felt his heart melt from what Justin said. He was too overwhelmed with the different emotions he was feeling at the moment that he couldn’t help but cry again.
As soon as Tristan’s teqrs started falling, Justin stood up from his seat and hugged Tristan. The alpha’s face was buried in his chest as he cried, making Justin’s clothes damp from his tears.
“Thank you… and I love you so, so much…” Tristan said as he sobbed.
Justin giggled, finding Tristan adorable. He was like a little puppy who was forgiven after he got scolded.
“Everything is fine…” Justin said as he rsn his fingers through Tristan’s hair.
“No, it’s not,” Daniel suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Justin looked at his brother with a questioning look on his face.
“Mom and Papá are with Tristan’s father,” Daniel said as he pursed his lips.
“What?”
‘Why is this day so complicated?’ Justin thought, worried about what might happen next.
