Chapter 5 : 爱

Ash POV

"Oi, Ash! Time to go, bud."

'Ugh ... it's too early for this.'

"Go play bingo or something , Pops."

Instead something soft collides with my face.

"What the fu-"

"Get changed , Ash. It's noon, get your lazy ass up!"

'That still sounds early to me.'

Nevertheless , I got up and changed , walking out to see a very pleased Max.

"You're smiling , dad."

"What ? Am I not allowed to smile ?"

I look at him unimpressed.

"Spill the beans , Pops."

He looks at me feigning innocence.

"What beans ?"

"Max !"

"Okay kid , jeez you're intense."

I prompt him to go on.

"Jessica agreed to get married next month !"

"Oh."

' That's great , Max. You two deserve to be happy together with Michael. I'm glad.'

'But like hell I'd tell him that. I may not have much , but I still have my pride.'

"She didn't learn the first time around ?"

Max punches me playfully on the shoulder.

' Like how a father would.'

"C'mon kid , let's go."

Sing POV

"What's up , Your Highness ? You summoned me ?"

Yut-lung turns around to face me and scowls.

"Do NOT call me Your Highness."

'Pfft-... But you are a Drama Queen.'

"Roger that , princess."

He opens his mouth to retort , but then he turns away , giving up

' Heh, Sing : 1. Yut-lung : 0'

His Royal Highness then proceeds to speak.

"Did you speak with the Lynx yet ?"

I nod in response.

"I need more than head gestures, Sing."
