Chapter 353 - Yes Or No (1/2)

Senior Yang closed his eyes and let out a long deep sigh after he received the call from Dion and Rizie. They detailed everything and then Rizie told him about their idea of keeping away the suspicions of the Yue clan. She started explaining to him why and how that idea was best and easy to follow.

Rizie emphasized that they could not afford any loose ends and give the enemy any hints to what they were doing.

”But pretending at this age…” Senior Yang whispered while he was in his room. At his age, pretending was not the case because he should take full responsibility for his actions.

Liz would be put in a tough spot if he only pretended to be in a relationship with her and later left her tainted with a scandal lurching on her head. Liz was not just a nobody but she had a reputation to hold. Senior Yang knew that Liz had faced enough backlash when she continued her pregnancy while unmarried and gave birth to Dion without a father so another backlash where he would be the culprit was not fair for her.

'There will be no backlash if you will remain by  her side and make the pretending real.' His inner self reasoned out but he was still hesitant.

Confused, he grabbed his mobile phone and called his son to make himself clear over the matter. Xander was not aware yet about the plan as no one had informed him about it yet. Rizie also emphasized that it would be best if he would be the one to talk it out with Xander, so both of them could think more or probably came up with a better solution.

Xander answered and Senior Yang narrated to him about his talk with Rizie.

”How about I move into another place and just have our own security to guard me?” Senior yang suddenly thought.

Xander's eyes widened as he burst, ”No dad! That's more dangerous and too suspicious! They will all suspect you as to what you're doing there alone in the first place. This will make their suspicion confirm that you had gone there for nothing else but to spy on Mirage and the clans so that's a big NO dad.”

Senior Yang heaved out a long sigh and so did Xander on the other line.

After a few moments of silence, Xander broke the silence and said. ”Rizie's suggestion is the best we could follow right now. I'm sure aunt Liz won't mind this...”

Senior Yang's face darkened and he explained his sentiments to his son how he felt bad for putting her reputation at stake at this stage and hence he was uncomfortable to pretend and cause any mishap to Liz and her name.

Xander exhaled loudly before he firmly answered, ”Then don't pretend dad.”

”Dad… Please honestly… I mean I will ask you something and I want you to answer it with all honesty. You said we two are the only ones to take care of each other so there shouldn't be any secrets between us. I had always been an open person to you dad. You know me inside out, and so have you been for me.” Xander started.

”Yes son,” Senior Yang murmured with a sigh. He readied himself for whatever it was his son would ask.

”Dad, do you find aunt Liz attractive?” Xander started to ask.

”Yes… But I'm not sure...”

”Dad, no explanation. I just need you to give me a Yes or No answer as simple as that.” Xander commanded.

”So do you find aunt Liz attractive?”

Another sigh before Senior yang answered, ”Yes.”

”Do you like to spend time with her?” Xander probed.

”What kind of question is this son?” Senior Yang was feeling embarrassed by this probing now.

”Just say yes or no dad!”

”Yes...but..”

”Dad, don't feel guilty and don't think that you are betraying mom when you think of aunty Liz. Don't think and consider mom in this situation please, let's face the fact that mom is no more and can no longer be physically present with us. Tell me dad, can you see aunt Liz as a wife material? Like, your wife, living with you?” Xander asked next.

”Xander!” Senior Yang cried because he found it too difficult to answer.

”Dad, don't make me repeat myself… It's not a difficult question at all. Just Yes or No. So can you see or picture aunt Liz as your wife, dad?” Xander impatiently stressed.

Senior Yang's forehead creased as he muttered, ”Yes.”
