Chapter 088 A Harmonious and Loving Father and Children Trio

Getting used to it?

He had been calling Alaric "Daddy" since he was a little kid; he had been adapting to it for years.

Though ironically, still pretending to be someone else's son in front of his real dad was rather comical.

"Daddy, can you take us to get something delicious?" Elisa asked, patting her belly.

Alaric checked the time and noted, "But it's not quite lunchtime yet."

"Then it's time for afternoon tea," Elisa said somewhat coquettishly. "A sweet treat, maybe some coffee, something like that, I'm craving it."

This little girl really was a foodie, wasn't she? She even knew about afternoon tea.

"Alright, kids, let's go grab some brunch," Alaric said as he scooped up Elisa in one arm and took Caspian's hand in the other, leading them to the car.

Caspian was trying his best to appear calm, but he felt guilty inside. After all, Alaric was his own father. He had to bite the bullet and keep up the façade.

Alaric took Caspian and Elisa to a classy American diner for brunch, where he ordered a bunch of sweets for Elisa. She ate with great satisfaction, while Caspian just sat there politely, acutely aware of Alaric's watchful gaze.

Feeling his father's eyes on him, Caspian became even more anxious, and that's when he spotted an item on the menu biscuits and gravy.

He despised gravy and couldn't stand the taste. But what if eating it in front of his dad would dispel any suspicions?

Desperate times called for desperate measures.
