There's No Love In the Deathzone (BL) novel Chapter 727

Chapter 727: Side Story 4. Endless Journey - 10

"Saaaand!"

Despite the warning, Asa ran across the white sand the moment their car door opened. It didn’t take long for him to stumble and roll down the slope. Still, his crisp laughter filled the beautiful resort, and he continued running after standing up.

"...rowdy," Kar let out a sigh and followed his twin’s path carefully while shaking his head in exasperation.

"They don’t know cold, do they?" Zein chuckled as he watched his sons from the resort’s parking lot.

"I’ll watch the Young Masters, Patriarch," Cohen followed the twins to the beach. He gently picked up Asa who had rolled for the third time already--and still laughing out loud as if having his head on the snow was the best thing ever.

No wonder their Uncles looked tired.

"I brought him here so he could rest too, not babysitting..." Zein sighed.

"Babysitting man is appealing, I heard," Bassena said with a shrug. "Who knows? You did bring him so he could meet girls, didn’t you?"

"Oh, you found out?" Zein laughed.

Cohen was around the same age as the couple who invited them to the resort for a wedding anniversary, and yet, there was no sign of him settling down. No--it would be better if he at least had some flings, but the man had never gone past the first date. Based on Arlo’s report, it seemed like Cohen was acting too stoic and stiff, too hesitant about making progress.

Was it because his fiancee had left him before?

It was really too bad since Cohen was a great guy. Zein wouldn’t do anything if the man just wanted to focus on his work and be happily single forever--like Zhan--but Cohen did want to have a relationship.

People did say good people often had difficulty finding the right partner.

Eh, what could he say? He wasn’t a good person after all.

"Daadaaaa! Babaaaaa!" Asa called out from the beach, waving his arms to beckon his parents.

"Let’s go," Zein laughed. "I promised him we’ll play in the sand."

"Wear your clothes properly," Bassena frowned and buttoned Zein’s coat. "What will you do if you catch a cold? Shin can’t cure a cold."

Zein flicked the frowning brows above the amber eyes. "It’s not even that cold yet. Besides, you’re the one who has been experiencing morning sickness."

"I’m fine," Bassena grumbled. "It’s just--urk..."

Like an irony, the esper turned pale, and before Zein could finish blinking twice, Bassena had already scattered into shadow--probably to the nearest bathroom.

"Pfft--" Zein chuckled and looked down at his totally still flat stomach. It couldn’t even be considered flesh yet, but it had already played pranks on his father.

The father who did not carry it, to be exact.

"Or should I say ’her’?" Zein muttered with a tilted head. He didn’t have any real proof, but he believed the baby was a girl. Bassena’s dream seemed to confirm it too. "Wait--was this why he’s the one experiencing morning sickness? Because he was the one with the conception dream?"

How amusing. Like his son, Zein ended up walking down the slope while laughing, making his bodyguard worried that he would slip and fall. What would Master Bassena do to them if they let the Patriarch roll down like Young Master Asa?

"Patriarch, please be careful..."

"I’m fine," Zein rolled his eyes.

People seemed to forget that he had been active in combat five years ago. Even if he rarely entered the dungeon nowadays, he still exercised regularly. Well, at least his sons treated him like usual. At least, Asa did.

They did cling to him more than before, staring at his stomach and asking when the sister would be able to hear them. Hmm...perhaps they told the twins about it too soon? Should have told them when the fetus properly formed.

"Aaaah! Asa flyyyy!"

"Hmm?" Zein raised his gaze to see his son moving like a plane, high in the air. A pair of arms--one of them cyber-prosthetic--held his waist. A familiarly loud laugh, even rowdier than Asa’s, made Zein smile.

While Asa experienced flying with his Uncle Zhan, Kar pulled Uncle Cohen to the water. His Baba said he shouldn’t go to the water alone, so it would be alright as long as he had someone, right?

"Wait, Young Master--Patriarch said you shouldn’t get wet now!" Cohen stretched out his hand, and before the wave could reach Kar, a soft round barrier had covered him.

But of course, that was not what Kar wanted. "No!" he stomped his feet on the ground--or rather, the shield. "I want to play with water!"

Kar stomped on the shield for three seconds, before remembering that he had decided to stop acting like a child. And so, he stopped and took a deep breath. Still, the disappointment was persisting. He turned around with pursed lips, staring at Cohen pitifully.
