Chapter 20 - Meet the Elders

* * *

After they went to Global Jewelry. The two drove to an exclusive restaurant. He already called Hanlu earlier to go there first and Daniel also called had his grandfather to come.

The elder was worried about what might have happened to his grandson, so he rushed to the restaurant he was told to go. When he got there, he didn't expect to see his old friend Chendong and his wife. Coincidentally, they were told by their son to come as well. At first, the couple didn't want to go but Mo Hanlu had called them like it was a life and death situation so they didn't have a choice and rush out.

" Gab, didn't expect to see you here. " Chendong said as the old man went inside the private room lead to him by the receptionist.

" The receptionist must have given me the wrong room. My grandson summoned me here. "

"Oh, leave it. Which grandson are we talking about? Is it the Omega? " Elder Sullen didn't bother calling the receptionist anymore and find a chair to sit on.

"Yeah, Daniel. I feel like he has something important to tell me. I was worried, so I rushed here. "

"Oh, same with our son. Well, since we are already here let's take this opportunity to introduce the two." Elder Mo suggested. He was feeling excited imagining becoming at last true family with his long-time friend.

"Chendong, I don't mind introducing the two but my Daniel won't be accepting any marriage soon if your son gets interested." Elder Sullen reminds his friend. He was no doubt any Alpha would get interested in his precious grandson.

"Gabriel, if the two falls in love at first sight, we can't do anything about it." Elder Mo's wife said smiling. She was as desperate as Chendong to marry his son. She doesn't care who was it as long as his son chose the person, he believes his son has good judgment so if his son chooses someone, it won't be a bad daughter-in-law or son-in-law. But if it's Elder Sullen's grandson then it would be better since the two families are already friends from way back.

"My Daniel is too young for marriage. But I won't stop them if they dated." the couple heard the Elder's reply, and they were satisfied with it. The only problem is that if the two indeed fall in love with each other. Their eldest son is an expressionless man and even they think their son wasn't capable of loving while the second isn't even interested in marriage, the third one was even worse and until now they could not find him. The couple didn't know if they had done something bad in their past life that they being punished today.

The three elders talked while they waited when Hanlu enter the room. He smiled finding his own chair after greeting.

"Where is your brother? I thought he's the one coming here.?" Mrs. Mo asked Hanlu.

"He's on the way mom. Please be patient." Hanlu explained.

" Gab, this is my second son Mo Hanlu, you've seen him when he was younger. He's younger than Laotian by 3 years but either way, he's also a good match for your grandson Daniel. " Elder Mo introduces Hanlu. When Hanlu heard what his father said he almost chokes at his own saliva.

" F-Father what are you talking about? Do you want older brother to murder me? " Hanlu said still in disbelief. He can't believe his father just match make him to his brother-in-law, Daniel.

" What are you talking about? Why would your brother kill you? "

" Nevermind. I just feel like it. " the couple gave Hanlu a questioning look.

" Your son is indeed a handsome and capable man. " Elder Sullen complimented.

" hahaha, my brother is much more capable than I am. He's a lot better match for Daniel than I am. I can tell you this for sure. " Hanlu explained erasing the elder's idea of matchmaking him to someone.

" Hanlu, why are you being so stubborn? You won't be disappointed when you see Elder Sullen's grandson. " Chendong said to his son. Chendong was about to scold Hanlu, even more, when a tall handsome figure comes in wearing a simple house attire. Elder Mo was stunned to witness his son arriving at the restaurant with this attire, he was about to comment but his words were caught in his throat seeing came along with his son is an Omega also wearing the same clothes that is larger than his own body. The clothes were obviously Mo Laotian's size. Not only Mr. and Mrs. Mo was shocked but also elder Sullen who became confused the moment his grandson comes in holding the Alpha's hand. His eyes drop to Daniel's stomach and he almost fainted realizing his precious grandson was pregnant!? Elder Sullen almost fainted out of balance so Daniel rushed to his grandfather and supported him.

" Grandfather, are you okay? I'm sorry to have kept this from you. " Daniel apologize letting the Elder sit. Just then Laotian held Daniel's hands and face Elder Sullen.

" Elder Sullen, I apologize to have kept this from you but your grandson Daniel and I have fallen in love and had gotten married earlier. Daniel is pregnant with my child. I love him dearly, I hope you won't go between us. "

" Xiao Lao? How? " Mrs. Mo uttered but couldn't say more. The three elders were just completely shocked. What surprised them the most is that the two were in a relationship all along and even have a baby coming, from the looks of it the two might have been in a relationship for a long time that the Omega's stomach was already so big. Elder Mo and Mrs. Mo couldn't believe their son had kept this from them for so long.

" Grandfather it was a long story but I love Laotian. I hope you won't get angry with me. " Daniel said. Hearing no response from the elder Daniel's heart sunk in sadness and rush to the Alpha to hug him. Daniel's lashes were damp from his tears when he heard a long sigh from his grandfather.

"Boy come here and sit with grandfather." Elder Sullen spoke gently, seconds later Daniel sat next to the Elder with hopeful eyes.

"Grandfather is disappointed with you." Elder Sullen said, there was no trace of anger in his voice but it made Daniel sadder as he apologizes again. His tears threatening to escape. His grandfather was the only family he has now and he absolutely doesn't want the Elder to hate him.

"I'm not disappointed because of this. I'm disappointed because you didn't trust grandfather. I already told you many times not to hide these things from me but you still did it. You're so like Mia. Grandfather isn't angry at all and I will not be against this too. With you saying all this, you just let me remembered how Mia and I confess to his father before. She said the same exact words you said. ' I'm sorry father, it's a long story but I love Gabriel. I hope you won't get angry with me. ' She was pregnant with your uncle then but of course, Mia's father didn't approve of us so he kick us out. We run away and then I brought her here with me." Elder Sullen had a tender smile on his face, he reminisces the time he had with his beloved before looking at Mo Laotian.

" This grandson of mine is very important to me. Even if you're a capable man, I won't allow you hurting my Daniel. Even if I have to sell this old soul of mine to the devil, I will do it to avenge him. " Elder Sullen warned.

" I will do the best that I could. If I hurt him I will let you hold the knife. " Laotian respond earning a nod from the Elder. Truthfully, he was kinda relieved the Alpha was his friend's son so he knew Daniel will be in good hands.

" Chendong, I guess at last this made us become a true family." Elder Sullen told his friend who's still in disbelief. The Elder couple were both so happy to see Daniel and his stomach that they lost words. This baby will be the first grandchild in the Mo household. For so many years, at last they're finally having a grandson in the house.

" Darling please come here and let mother-in-law feel you." Mrs. Mo said overwhelmed by happiness, she was teary-eyed watching the Omega. Daniel willingly went to the elder with Laotian on his back like a bodyguard and he smiles as well feeling welcomed. Even on his own biological parents, he didn't experience that so Daniel was also teary-eyed.

" It isn't good for you to stand for too long, come sit here. Laotian order some food. We need to celebrate. " Mrs. Mo excitedly said and pulled Daniel next to her to sit. Laotian helplessly let his wife be stolen by his mother and headed to call the attendant.

" Omegas aren't supposed to have a stomach this big. Are you perhaps pregnant with two? " after hearing Daniel's stomach was 5 months and a week old, the elder became even more excited. Just imagining two little kids running around the mansion calling her grandmother brought so much joy to the elder.

" This is only one baby. " Daniel held his belly smiling. After the first check-up, Mo Laotian and Daniel decided to keep everything else a secret. As long as the doctor said the baby was fine the couple was good. As for why his stomach was so big, the doctor explained that it was the water and that there was no need to worry.

" Has it started moving yet? "

" Not yet, but I hope it moves soon. " Daniel continued rubbing his belly. He was a little worried why the baby hasn't move yet.

"Don't worry, Darling. When Hanlu and Laotian were in my stomach, they didn't move until they were 6 months." Daniel smiled at the Elder's words. The doctor did say that first-time mommies sometimes couldn't feel the movement until it's 25 weeks.

"Yeah, the doctor said I might start to feel the movement when it's 6 months old," Daniel confirmed with a bright smile.

Daniel and the Elder continued chatting until the food arrived. Laotian sat next to Daniel and all of them eat happily specially Hanlu because seeing his parents so excited with Daniel's baby, they might forget pressuring him to marry. Hanlu didn't care that he was being ignored the whole time they were eating, he was delighted by it instead.

When lunch was about to finish. Daniel and Laotian requested the elders to keep this matter a secret for the time being. Even without knowing the reason, they all agreed to it. Elder Sullen didn't want to reveal this too because Daniel was still too young and there's this matter at the whole Sullen family being against Daniel. He believed it was for the best for the time being.
