<h4>Chapter 272: Kaito Already Knew.</h4>


    "I want... no," he paused, struggling for words. "If you permit it, or if you think I deserve it, let me be in your life. I know I don’t have the right to ask, but please... give me a chance to be a father to you."


    Ang was about to answer when she heard footsteps marching across the grass. She turned and saw a young beautiful woman with long dark hair that fell to her knees. She wore a white shirt and ck trousers with matching boots. The smile on her face made it hard to tell who she was.


    "Is she your girl..." Ang began, but her father shook his head, too quickly.


    "Brother, am I interrupting?" the woman asked as she walked toward them.


    "No, sister," Marcus replied, letting out a small sigh. "Come, let me introduce you to your niece."


    "Oh wow, I actually came here because I was curious about her," Bellezza said with excitement as she stood in front of them. She smiled warmly at the sight of father and daughter together. They had waited too long for this moment.


    "Ang, meet Bellezza. She is my big sister," Marcus said, introducing them.


    Before Ang could even say hello, the woman wrapped her arms around her neck and pulled her into a hug. Ang froze, speechless, but then rxed and went with it. This was Bellezza—the same one Hiro had mentioned days ago, saying she was the coolest in the family.


    "I am sorry... I couldn’t control my excitement," Bellezza said as they broke from the hug. "I am so happy to finally meet you."


    Ang nodded and crossed her arms in front of her chest. She wasn’t offended, but she didn’t say anything either.


    "Have you two eaten? I brought food from my house," Bellezza said with a big smile. "You should eat, because your father has no kitchen staff. Trust me, he doesn’t know how to cook either."


    "Really?" Ang chuckled, looking at Marcus, who was trying to stop his sister from talking.


    "Yes, dear," Bellezza ignored him and turned to her niece. "Believe me, he has burnt the kitchen more than three times trying to cook, and in the end, he still cooked nothing."


    Ang couldn’t stopughing. She didn’t want to imagine Marcus in a kitchen...it was too funny to even picture.

    "Fortunately, he has me..." Bellezza started.


    "What would I do without you, sister?" Marcus said with a brief smile before his face turned serious again.


    "Exactly, you have me to thank for everything," Bellezza chuckled as she held Ang by the arm. "If you eat, he’ll surely eat too. So let’s go."


    Ang didn’t say a word. She followed Bellezza into the mansion. For some reason she couldn’t exin, she feltfortable around her. Setting the table together almost felt natural, like she had known Bellezza for a long time.


    "You have four mates?" Bellezza asked like she didn’t already know. Ang nodded, and she continued, "They really like you. You should have seen how helpless they were while you were sleeping upstairs."


    "For how long did I sleep, ma?"


    "Two and a half days. I was so happy when they told me you were awake."


    "They told you?" Ang asked as she ced the cutleries exactly how Bellezza showed her.


    "Yes. I met them outside," Bellezza said, breaking the fresh bread. The warm aroma filled the air, making Ang’s stomach growl loudly. She felt embarrassed, but Bellezza smiled. "You can start eating right away. I’ll get them, okay?"


    "Should I not wait for everyone?"


    "No dear. You’ve been sleeping for days and need food to regain your strength," Bellezza said as she pulled out a chair and asked her to sit. Ang nodded and sat down. Her aunt served her before leaving to get Renn and his brothers.


    To Ang, everything felt strange, but she decided to trust her instincts. She had to be sure she wasn’t being fooled again.


    "Do you want anything else?" Marcus asked as he walked in from the back door. She shook her head, and he went into the kitchen to wash his hands.


    After a few minutes, he returned, and her mates also came in with Bellezza. They wereughing and talking as they walked in. Ang was still surprised that they all got sofortable with her family.


    "Hey love," Hiro called as he walked to sit beside her, but he stopped when he saw the dirty and creepy look her father gave him. "Right... I’ll sit next to Kaito instead."


    "You should stop scaring the boys," Bellezza told Marcus before sitting next to Ang.


    "But I didn’t say anything," Marcus said as he sat down.


    "You don’t have to say anything... your eyes are enough," she replied with a frown.


    Ang chuckled softly as she sipped the water from her ss. Then she heard Kaito’s voice through their link.


    <i>"You’re enjoying your father tormenting us," he said.</i>


    <i>"Maybe," Angughed quietly.</i>


    "What are we going to do about Miss Valois?" Bellezza asked. There was no way she would ever forgive that woman for what she had done.


    Ang looked at Renn. At the mention of his mother, he stopped eating as well. He stared down at his te without a word. She wondered what he was thinking, how he really felt hearing them talk about his mother. No matter how strong he pretended to be, it had to hurt.


    Her eyes moved to the rest of her mates. The other two looked normal, except for Kaito, who had also stopped eating. He was staring at Renn. They must have shut her out of the link to talk privately.


    It meant one thing. Kaito already knew.


    He fucking knew!


    Ang dropped her spoon on the te, the loud sound drawing everyone’s attention to her.


    Marcus was the first to speak. "What happened, dear?"


    Ang hesitated, her heart racing. Should she tell them that Renn was Principal Valois’ son... or should she keep it to herself for now?
