Chapter 087 Is this Harry? Isn't this Caspian?
Perhaps it was Harry's words that had stung Alaric, as he was still caught up in the feeling of humiliation the next
day.
The phrase 'a woman he couldn't have' bothered him. The idea that Alaric couldn't have a woman was
laughable!
He instinctively reached for his phone, wanting to call Galatea, but he immediately set it down again, caught in a
tangle of thoughts. Just then, his phone rang, and he quickly grabbed it.
Although it wasn't Galatea calling, seeing that it was Elisa on the caller ID made him just as happy. He hurriedly
answered, "Hello, Elisa."
"Daddy!" Elisa's sweet voice seemed to melt his ears through the phone.
"What did you just call me?" Alaric couldn't help but feel a thrill of unnatural happiness. At first, Elisa had called
him that, but later, she had started calling him Mr. Knight.
"Daddy, yeah. Aren't you about to marry Mommy soon? I've got to start getting used to it, right? | need to get
you accustomed to it too."
"Marry soon? Where did you hear that, you little rascal?"
"Isn't it true?" Elisa sounded startled. "You've already given her the bridal room, and that incredibly expensive,
exclusive watch as a gift. If you don't want to marry Mommy, why spend so much money on her? Are you a big
sucker?" Huh?
The watch? Didn't Galatea refuse it, and didn't he throw it away?
"What watch are you talking about?"
"Have you got memory problems? The watch you gave to my mom for her birthday with her nengraved on
it. I saw it, and Mommy admitted it was from you."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlaric was briefly stunned, and then he quickly figured it out. She must have seen it in the trash bin and picked it
up when she cto bring chicken soup.
That insincere woman, she refused it when offered, but went to retrieve it after he'd thrown it away!
"Yes, | gave her that watch. Does she like it?"
"Of course she does. Why else would Mommy keep it on her bedside table?" Elisa seemed anxious when she
quickly asked, "But hey, you still haven't answered if you really want to marry her. You adults really beat around
the bush." "We'll get married when it's the right time," Alaric said.
Then he asked, "Weren't you off experiencing life in the countryside? Why are you back early?"
"Yep, | cback yesterday," Elisa confessed honestly.
Upon hearing this, Alaric suddenly thought of something and hurriedly asked, "And your brother? Did he come
back with you?"
"Of course, silly. We went together, so obviously we cback together."
Harry? The boy who looked exactly like Caspian?
He had never met him before, and now his curiosity was piqued. He couldn't wait to see if this Harry really did
look just like Caspian.
"Elisa, aren't you supposed to be in school today? How cyou have tto call me?"
"Going to school, but today the school organized an event that's already ended. If students want to go home,
they can have their parents cpick them up. If not, they can stay at school and read a book until the official
end of school when their parents can cget them."
Really?
"I'm going to pick you and Harry up now," Alaric quickly reminded, adding with a hint of mischief, "But this is a
secret between us. You can't tell anyone, okay?" "Are you trying to secretly winand my brother over?"
"Yes," Alaric admitted with a laugh. "So my future dear daughter, would you givethis chance?"
"Of course, my brother and I will wait for you at school. Cfind us."
"Great."
After hanging up, Alaric couldn't wait any longer. He grabbed his car keys and strode out the door quickly.
Upon hearing that, Caspian felt a bolt from the blue. His dad was coming to see him? After all, he'd grown up
with him. Would his cover be blown instantly?
"Elisa, why did you agree to it?" Caspian questioned.
"He's going to be our dad soon; we'd have to meet him sooner or later," Elisa replied, confused. "Harry, why are
you so scared to see him? Also, last the cto our house, you hid in the closet and were too scared to
meet him. You haven't explained that toproperly. Tellnow, why?"
Caspian was speechless.
For a moment, Caspian didn't know what to say. Harry had told him that Alaric already knew they looked
identical. This day was inevitable.
Since it was unavoidable, he might as well face it with composure.
Even though Alaric was his biological dad, Harry had been by his side for many days, and he hadn't noticed,
right? As long as he insisted he was Harry, he should be fine. ‘Caspian, stay calm! You must stay calm, don't
panic!" he thought.
"Daddy!" Knowing Alaric was coming, Elisa was excited. She saw his car parked at the school gate and
immediately ran towards it.
Seeing her run to him, Alaric quickly got out of the car, bent down, and naturally picked her up. "Daddy, you got
here so fast."
Honestly, ever since Elisa started calling him 'Daddy", it brought him a sense of happiness he never really
resisted.
"I cright after we got off the phone." Alaric glanced around and, noticing Elisa was alone, quickly asked,
"Where's Harry?"
"What? Do you prefer boys over girls?" Elisa was somewhat displeased when Alaric asked this. "Do you like boys
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmore than girls?"
"Of course not," Alaric said, barely able to suppress a laugh. "My Elisa is so adorable. Naturally, she's my
favorite."
"That's more like it."
Caspian had to muster all his courage to step out of the school and walk toward him.
Alaric, however, was genuinely startled when he saw Caspian, and couldn't help but blurt out, "Caspian?"
Hearing Alaric say his nmade Caspian instinctively feel guilty, and then he hurriedly corrected, "My nis
Harry Hartley, what Caspian? Stop callingthat." "Exactly," Elisa quickly added, "I told you, this is my brother,
Harry."
Alaric's shocked gaze fell once again upon Caspian, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "The resemblance is
uncanny!"
Before he had seen him, Alaric had teased Galatea for not recognizing her own child, but now that he was seeing
him in person, even he was taken aback. Wasn't this Caspian? Was this supposed to be Galatea's son Harry?
"I'm Harry Hartley, don't get it wrong again. It's very impolite to call someone by the wrong name," Caspian
insisted, doing his best not to give himself away. It took Alaric a while to recover, then he suggested, "Alright,
where do you two want to go? Daddy will take you."
"Daddy?" The term caught Caspian off guard, "Did you just say you're our daddy? Are you mistaken?"
"No mistake, Harry. He's about to marry Mommy. Naturally, we should start calling him Daddy now, to get used
to it," Elisa chimed in before anyone else.
