Chapter 71 Exposed!


"Dad, are you taking me to see Mom?" Harry asked Alaric with a timid look.

"Yeah, you like her a lot, right?" Alaric returned Harry's gaze and asked, "I was wrong to keep you from seeing her before. From now on, you can see her whenever you want. Isn't that great?" Seeing Harry's worried expression, Alaric asked, "What's wrong, Caspian? You're going to see your favorite person. Why aren't you happy?"

Harry remained silent.

Alaric had a suspicion of why, so he pulled the car over to the side of the road, turned to face Harry, and just looked at him, which really made Harry uneasy. "Dad, why did you stop the car?"

"Let's talk," Alaric admitted, "I've been too busy to have heart-to-hearts with you, and I don't know many of your thoughts. I've reflected on this. I can't always make you do things my way. I want to respect your opinions." This sudden change in approach caught Harry off guard.

"Dad, you're doing great, especially lately," Harry said, managing only to speak well of him now, "I've been a bit rebellious, and you've been very understanding." "What else?" Alaric prompted.

"And your cooking skills are amazing! The meals you make are delicious, appealing in every sense..."

"When you're with Galatea, does she call you Caspian or Harry?" Alaric suddenly interrupted Harry, asking the question.

Had he really been exposed?

Seeing Harry's startled and bewildered expression, Alaric couldn't help but laugh triumphantly and asked, "She calls you Harry, right?"

At the mention of that, Harry's mind buzzed, but something inside him insisted, 'Stay cool, you have to stay cool!'
