Just when Nelly was about reply to Tony 's remark, a figure walked in from outside.
“What's there for me to do if you're keeping my Luna company?” On the heels of that, a low and deep voice drifted into the dining room.
Hearing that, the few people present snapped their eyes up and cast their gazes out.
Alpha Kilian strolled in with great strides, his pace steady and his expression proud, looking as though a lofty king who had the world beneath his feet.
At the sight of him, Tony lowered his gaze a fraction.
Conversely, a smile promptly bloomed on Donna 's face, and she appeared to be over the moon. “Daddy!”
In response to her cheerful greeting, Alpha Kilian dipped his head in acknowledgment. Then, he went over to Nelly . Upon seeing Donna seated there, he ordered, “Move over.”
That rendered Donna speechless.
Nonetheless, she still shifted over slightly with much reluctance.
After Alpha Kilian sat down, he fixed his gaze on Nelly as though she was the only person who existed for him.
Seeing that, Donna frowned in disgruntlement. “Daddy.”
At her voice, Alpha Kilian turned and looked at her, asking in a murmur, “What's wrong?”
Pouting, Donna whined in dissatisfaction, “You've changed.” “Changed? How so?” Alpha Kilian questioned.
“In the past, you always scooped me up when you saw me. But now, you're only concerned about Nelly ,” Donna groused aggrievedly, sticking her lower lip out.
Following that complaint, Alpha Kilian pondered for a moment. “Is that so?”
“Of course! Back then, you even said that I was your darling. Is this how you treat your darling now?” Donna demanded.
As Thalia ate while listening in at the side, she almost spat out the food in her mouth on reflex.
When Alpha Kilian swept his gaze over, she did not bother holding back, saying to Donna , “All men are liars. Yet, you believed him? Besides, he only called you darling back then for the opportunity to approach your mommy through you. You've been fooled.”
Hearing that, Donna jerked her head over and stared right at Alpha Kilian . “Is that true, Daddy?”
“Of course not. Some people just can't stand seeing others live in harmony as a family, so don't listen to her nonsensical talk,” Alpha Kilian denied. Reaching out, he scooped her up and placed her on his lap.
“I...” Thalia wanted to riposte that, but she abruptly stopped short. With her eyes pinned on the man, she enunciated, “Exactly. I can't stand seeing you all live in harmony, so I'll surely mess things up for you!”
Alpha Kilian merely snorted a bark of laughter, wholly unworried about it. He trained his eyes on Donna . “Did you hear that? Therefore, never believe other people's attempts to sow discord.”
However, Donna curled her lips. “How are you going to prove it, then, Daddy?”
Alpha Kilian deliberated for a while before taking something out of his pocket. “How about this?”
The item on his palm resembled a bracelet and looked incredibly cool yet exquisite. Curious, Donna snagged it from him. “What is this? A bracelet?”
“Yeah.” Alpha Kilian nodded.
Donna fiddled with it. “What a unique design!”
Thalia had her eyes lowered as she ate. Only when she heard Donna 's exclamation did she lift her eyes and cast her gaze over. The instant she saw the bracelet in the latter's hand, her brows furrowed.
“Is that Stealth?” she queried.
Right as her question rang out, everyone swung their gazes over, including Alpha Kilian . He eyed her placidly. “You know your stuff.”
“If I don't even know that, I might as well retire from my line of work!” Thalia scoffed. Raising her eyes, she bore them into the man. “How did you get it?”
Alpha Kilian said nothing.
Meanwhile, Donna alternated her gaze between them, realizing from Thalia's reaction that the bracelet was extraordinary.
“What is Stealth?” Donna asked.
“Stealth stands for stealth weapon. A seemingly insignificant and ordinary item may be a stealth weapon with many functions. It's made by the renowned K in the underground world. Rumor has it that he only makes one a year. How unexpected!” The look in Thalia's eyes as she studied Alpha Kilian was tinged with surprise.
How much more is he capable of that he's keeping under wraps? How could he even be acquainted with K?
Contrarily, Donna was unbothered about it all. After learning about that, she turned her gaze to Alpha Kilian . “Daddy...”
“I know you love beautiful things, so I put that in as a request,” Alpha Kilian explained. “So, this was made specially for me?” Donna ventured.
“Of course!” While saying that, Alpha Kilian unfastened the bracelet and put it on for her. It fit her dainty and slender wrist perfectly, accentuating her delicate skin and regal aura.
On the whole, she looked just like a wealthy heiress. “How beautiful!” Donna exclaimed.
Alpha Kilian curled his lips. “Well? Do you like it?”
In response, Donna bobbed her head fervently. “Yes! I love it!” “So, do you think you're still my darling?” Alpha Kilian teased.
“Of course! You're the best, Daddy! You love me the most!” Elated, Donna brandished the bracelet, squealing happily, “Look, Nelly !”
Nelly looked on, a perpetual smile on her lips. “How do I use this, Daddy?” Donna asked.
“Here, I'll teach you. Look at this. This is the switch. If someone wants to bully you, you can choose the mode according to the situation,” Alpha Kilian instructed solemnly.
Right then, Ben leaned over, his eyes riveted on the bracelet. Verily, he could not take his eyes off for even a second.
