Doted By The Alpha

"I've never dreamed this day would come. Oh My Gosh, I am so excited." Daniel beamed. J Bronson smiled charmingly at the overjoyed Omega. Laura and Diane although they were slightly displeased at how Joshua Bronson had acted after he saw Daniel, they were both happy to see that Daniel was happy.

Meanwhile, as this was all happening, Mo Laotian arrived in hopes to see his beloved wife's smiles. He walked inside the room without knocking, he was carrying with him a take-out food from the restaurant he and Daniel last visited, and he was hoping to cheer Daniel up with it to compensate for his absence the whole morning. Alas, when he saw Daniel, he was indeed smiling but Laotian's expression frown in displeased knowing that he was not the reason why such happy smiles flashed on his Omega's lips.

Laotian froze looking at Daniel, the man's back facing him. His frozen state only lasted a quick second before Daniel noticed him. The Omega's eyes opened wide and then that sweet and precious smile that Laotian knew was meant for him appeared, pacifying him slightly from seeing the back of the man.

"Laotian!" Daniel called, Luangmin also noticed his father and he jumped excitedly, "Dada! Dada! Wewcome bwack!" Luangmin said attempting to stand by himself but in the end Daniel helped because the bed was unsteady for him to stand on. Laotian walked towards the bed still vigilant at the now standing man who greeted him with a professional smile.

"I bought your favorite," Laotian said ignoring J Bronson and leaned down to kiss Luangmin on the forehead and then Daniel on his lips. The kiss lasted more than a second before Laotian pulled away. Daniel blushed chewing on his lips, this was a natural greeting to them but knowing that his idol, J. Bronson, was in front of them, Daniel was embarrassed.

"L-Laotian, I have a visitor," Daniel cleared his throat stating the obvious. This time finally Laotian faced the man with his stern look. His expression was not amused at the other man's presence.

"T-this is Mr. Joshua Bronson. He's the artist that I was talking about last time. He hosted that art gallery we went into." Daniel introduced. Bronson extended his hands to shake Laotian's which he only stared at not reaching.

"So you're the lucky man who married such a beautiful and talented wife," Bronson said with his professional smile extending his hands to the Alpha in front of him but then his hands left hanging for a good five seconds before Mo Laotian decided to handshake him.

"Hmmm, I am indeed a very lucky man," Laotian with his dominant tone; oppressing air emanated around them as if they were having a silent battle between each other. Joshua Bronson is French, he doesn't know who Mo Laotian was and even if he did know, he was the type who would never back down especially when he had done nothing wrong.

Noticing the situation, Daniel felt the need to interrupt the two from having a staring contest. "Laotian, uhmm, Mr. Bronson visited me here when he heard there was an accident at his event; he's now here to wish me well. Also he offered a future collaboration…" Daniel said distracting Laotian, when Laotian heard the last part, he quickly softened and faced Daniel.

"But you are not fine," Laotian said softly sitting at the side of the bed to hug Daniel and Luangmin to show this man in front of them that Daniel was his and he should not even think of ever stealing the Omega from him. Or even think of getting close to him.

"It doesn't have to be now, I can wait. Of course, Mr. Daniel's health is more important," Bronson interrupted and once again Laotian just ignored him.

"Mr. Bronson is right, Laotian. I won't do it unless I'm healthy again. Until then, will you allow me? I really want this," Daniel begged with his bunny eyes and hugged the Alpha burying his face on the armpits. Naturally being told like this by his beloved wife, how can Laotian not permit him? He wants Daniel to do whatever he wants. Of course he would agree. But then again, he didn't want to see this Joshua Bronson ever again. He had a feeling if he left Daniel on the man's hands, Daniel would get devoured.

"Let's talk about this again when you're healthy and able to walk around alone," Laotian said, making Daniel pout but he understood. After what had happened to him at the gallery, he would never want to do anything that would harm him and their babies again. If Laotian and the doctor said he can't, then he will not. He will not be stubborn, for the sake of his future babies.

"Well, your husband is right, Beautiful. I will always be waiting for our collaboration to come and when the time is right; when you are fine and able, please do let me know. Anyway, I had overstayed my welcome. I shall go now and see you some other time. Mr. Mo, it's truly nice meeting you…Madams," Bronson said and nodded to them as his farewell. Daniel was a little disappointed that the man will have to go already but he understood because he knew as a famous artist, J Bronson must have been busy with his work.

Daniel was happy enough that the man found time to come and visit him today. That had really cheered him up. Now, he was even more encouraged to nurse his health back to the way it was.

"Oh, okay. Please do take care," Daniel said as his idol prepared to leave.

"And to you too, Beautiful. I will wait for your call," Bronson said, earning a glare from Laotian but he ignored it and soon left the room in a happy mood. He should thank his friend for asking him to visit a patient today. He was kind of getting bored staying at the hotel, fortunately now he had something to kill his time until he goes back to Italy.

"I don't like him," After the painter left, Laotian faced Daniel and said this with an upset expression stunning Daniel. This was the first time his husband had told him that he didn't like someone. Normally when the Alpha was displeased, he would just stay silent about it but now, he's actually voiced it out.

Daniel looked at Laotian baffled and couldn't say anything. Was this handsome husband of his, jealous?

"Nevermind," Laotian quickly said and shifted to get the paper bag with Daniel's favorite dessert in it. When Daniel heard how the Alpha quickly changed topic, he chuckled and held his arms. Meanwhile, Laura and Diane saw this and decided to leave the two alone.

"ehemm, Xiao Lao, now that you're back. Diane and I will go back now and come back later for dinner… Darling, we'll be right back again later for dinner, okay?" Laura said with a smile. Laotian nodded okay while Daniel who's holding Luangmin, made his son's hands wave at his two grandmothers. Diane and Laura briefly kissed Luangmin and soon they too left the room.

When finally the couple was the only a.d.u.l.ts left in the room, Daniel resumed caressing the Alpha's arms while smiling happily, "Were you jealous?" Daniel teased, forcing Laotian to look at him in the eye. Laotian resisted at first but he did at the end. And by then Daniel knew the Alpha was indeed jealous. Laotian was looking at him with an upset expression. Even though he was not pouting, Daniel could almost tell that the Alpha was pouting. His expression wasn't his normal confident and domineering.

Right now, Laotian was like a defeated puppy that just saw his master petting some other dog and forgot about him.

"I'm not," Laotian lied looking at the side. He couldn't bear to look at Daniel's eyes because he was indeed jealous. Having another man making Daniel smile like that greatly attacked his confidence. It's not that he was mad or upset at anyone; he was upset of himself because he's thinking maybe his taking whatever is making Daniel happy. Whatever things that should have made Daniel happy. He's afraid he's isolating Daniel too much; keeping him to himself too much.

Daniel wasn't complaining but he could not help but think he was the reason why his beloved Daniel couldn't do the things he wants. Daniel couldn't go back to his studies because of him, Daniel couldn't fully go out freely because of the dangers that his enemies bring. He couldn't help but blame himself that Daniel couldn't be free.

"Liar. You're jealous," Daniel insisted with a giggle. He pulled Laotian close to him and buried his face on his neck and nuzzled it.

"Daniel," Laotian called with a tender voice. The tone was serious but it also sounded almost sad. Pulling away from his husband, Daniel looked at Laotian worried.

"What?" Daniel asked, frowning as he held the Alpha's cheeks.

"Hmmm,… i-if someday you learn that I'm not someone you think I am; that I'm someone that did bad. Will you still stay with me?" Laotian suddenly asked baffling Daniel. The question was so much out of their topic. How did it even come to this? They had been married for almost 3 years and the Alpha was asking him this now?

"What are you suddenly saying? Were you that jealous of Mr. Bronson? He's just someone I admired. I never had a crush on him or anything so you don't have to be jealous. I was just so happy that someone I admired came to visit me and even offered collaboration." Daniel explained.

"Hmmm, I understand that. If the doctor allows you then I will not restrict you from the things you want to do. I only want what's best and makes you happy," Laotian relayed tenderly.

"O-Oh then why are you suddenly asking me this? Are you hiding something from me?" Daniel asked, alarmed. This is the first time he had heard of it. Daniel thought they were both true to each other. No lies between them.

". . ." Laotian didn't say anything especially when he saw Daniel's eyes shifted.

"Laotian? Are you hiding something from me?" Daniel called and then asked, his voice slightly cracked thinking of the possibility that the Alpha was cheating on him. Because he couldn't satisfy him now, the Alpha slept with someone else?

"No, I'm not. I'm sorry I made you worry," Laotian quickly said seeing that Daniel was about to cry. He kissed his forehead hoping it would calm him down. It was not the time to reveal his true identity to Daniel, this might cause the Omega harm and that's the last thing Laotian would want to do. He should wait for the right time.

"N-No! Y-You're cheating on me!? I-Is that it!?" Daniel cried and pushed Laotian slightly. "You wouldn't ask me something like this if it wasn't that! Who was it? Your secretary? One of your employees? W-was it an accident? O-Or you don't want me anymore because I'm ugly?" Daniel burst causing Luangmin to look at his mother, his prominent eyebrows frowning before he looked at his father. Even though he was too little to understand what his mother and father was talking about, he knew his father was bullying his mommy.

On the other hand, the second Laotian heard Daniel mentioned the word cheating; his eyes went wide and tried to stop Daniel from thinking widely. "Shhh, Shhh, I'm not cheating…Please don't cry, Daniel… Honey…" Laotian struggled to make Daniel calm down. In addition to that, his son was now punching him as well, crying like his mother. "Dada! Meanie! Meanie! Dwon't Mwake mommy cwry! Dada, you meanie!" Luangmin burst as well, softly punching Laotian's arms like Daniel was doing.

"*sobs* You… *sobs* c-cheated on me! Wahhhhhh" After Daniel had enough punching the Alpha, he quickly bawled loudly causing Laotian to have a headache. The Omega was jumping into his wild conclusions again. This had constantly been happening since Daniel's second pregnancy.

"Hey. Hey. I did not cheat. I never slept with anyone aside from you. And you're not ugly, you're the most beautiful person in the world," Laotian cooed hugging the sobbing Daniel and Luangmin into his arms.

"I love you so much; I could never cheat on you." Laotian assured, he kissed Daniel's temples.

"Y-You liar! *sobs* I-If you're not cheating, *sobs* then w-what are you hiding from me? *sobs*" Daniel asked between his bawls. "*sobs* A-and I will not *sobs* believe it was nothing at all *sobs*"

". . ." Laotian listened and he quickly regretted why he even mentioned that question earlier. He should have just admitted that he was jealous.

Tightening his hug, Laotian soon revealed. "I-I'm a not a good man," he sighed, defeated. Daniel was still crying as he listened to what the Alpha just said before he suddenly pushed Laotian away stunning him.
