The familiar penmanship was sharper and more beautiful than it was ten years ago, and Xu Nuo recognized it at a glance. In fact, even without the note, the metal mailbox and even the bouquet of Blue Star roses would let him know who the head of the Neville family was, whom he had never met before.
His head seemed to feel the same powerless feeling of being on the verge of suffocation and drowning again, and Xu Nuo tried hard to maintain superficial decency and courtesy.
The note was promised to be refolded and put back into the mailbox, along with the big bunch of roses.
"I don't like this gift."
The guests around gradually stopped whispering and focused their attention on the omega in the center of the banquet hall.
The red-haired subordinate holding the flower did not seem to have expected this result. He stood there for a while, staring blankly at the beautiful and rare rose in his hand.
"Sorry, I'm a little tired and have to excuse myself for a while," Xu Nuo nodded to the guests around him and quickly left the banquet hall.
Upstairs from the banquet hall was a row of empty bedrooms and living rooms. Xu Nuo picked a sofa at random and sat down, closing his eyes.
The footsteps came closer and closer. It was Lilia. Xu Nuo opened his eyes and threw himself into his mother's arms.
Lilia didn't say anything, but just gently stroked her son's back, silently comforting him.
"How long ago did Mom find out?"
"Two days ago," Lilia sighed, "I'm sorry Mom didn't tell you in time... I just didn't expect him to come."
"It's okay." The pheromones from his mother soothed his tense spirit to a great extent. Xu Nuo felt much better, but tears still welled up in his eyes. "Mom, can you tell me? What happened?"
"Mom only found out two days ago," Lilia kissed his hair. "Aaron isn't just the Schiller family's adopted son. It's more like my uncle—remember him, darling? That's Duke Levi. Aaron is the only son of the Neville family. The Neville family was framed and destroyed overnight, and they were secretly protected."
"Aaron set out to fulfill his mission from the beginning, and now he's succeeded."
"Yeah," Xu Nuo nodded.
"Mom will prepare some food for you, okay?"
"Thank you, Mom."
Lilia's footsteps faded away, and Xu Nuo looked into the shadows not far away where the light could not reach.
Aaron came out, his dark blond hair had grown a lot longer and was tied up loosely at the back of his head.
"You've grown up," the man said in a dry voice, like a patient with a voice disorder, "Nono."
He didn't stop, but walked straight to Xu Nuo and knelt on one knee. His eyes were sincere and sad, and Xu Nuo couldn't understand him.
"Go away."
Aaron lowered his head. From this angle, Xu Nuo could see the shallow scar on the back of his neck, which was very close to the gland. Once the gland was damaged, both the alpha and the omega would die, and at the very least, they would end up seriously ill.
"I don't ask for your forgiveness." Aaron gently took one of his hands and placed it on his lips. Xu Nuo could feel the coldness of his lips. "I just hope you can allow me to stay by your side... I will spend the rest of my life in exchange for a little mercy from you."
It was a standard kiss on the hand.
The cool metal pressed against Aaron's forehead, but the man's expression didn't even change as he raised his head calmly.
Xu Nuo was holding an exquisite little pistol, the one he had given her ten years ago.
Although it was inappropriate, Aaron was so happy that he almost laughed out loud. He still kept the gift he gave. He always knew how cute and soft-hearted the little omega was. After ten years of secretly spying on and accompanying him, no one knew the boy in front of him better than him.
"This is the one I gave you."
"So what?" Xu Nuo tried hard to suppress his sobs and grievances, holding the pistol in his hand stubbornly, his arm trembling slightly.
"So," Aaron held his small hand with his slender and powerful hand, "so I knew at a glance that you didn't put a bullet in it."
The pistol slipped from his weakened hands and was caught by Aaron, who set it aside. The boy, who had been so bravado just now, could no longer suppress his emotions and let himself cry out.
Aaron went over and hugged him, holding him in his arms like when he was a child. The man who had been calm and composed just now suddenly lost the ability to express himself and could only mechanically kiss his hair and whisper.
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry, baby..."
…
Xu Nuo didn't know how he got back home. He probably fell asleep in Aaron's arms after crying. He hadn't slept so well in a long time. The sun outside the window had risen high, and it seemed like it was already the next day.
There were many more memories in his head, flooding in like a tide, but not very chaotic, as if he had experienced them all, and Xu Nuo could feel those memories very clearly.
"That's what you went through! You and me!"
666 turned into a puppy and came over from the other side of the bed, jumping up and down in dissatisfaction.
"Sorry 66, I know everything. You've worked hard in this world."
666 was smoothed over and hummed with satisfaction, "I thought you were going to abandon the cute system again now that you remembered the hero!"
Xu Nuo laughed and retorted guiltily, "I'm not like that!"
"...By the way, did Aaron take me back last night?"
"You still say no!" 666 was furious and helpless, but he still said it obediently, "The party was almost over after you fell asleep last night. Aaron brought you back, and Xu Ci even punched him, hehe."
Xu Nuo turned over and got out of bed, "Was he beaten? Is he okay? I'll go find him!"
He paused as 666 jumped down and bit his trouser leg to stop him, "He's gone home! He's not at Xu's house anymore!"
