Chapter 52

Temperament

We were having a peaceful dinner with Declan, Mariana, and Daniel when Declan spoke up.

"Is Daniel no longer an Alpha candidate in the Rising Diamond pack, brother?"

Desmond squinted his eyes at Declan. "Let's not discuss that in front of our kids, Declan. This matter should be discussed with adults only," he said frigidly.

That earned Declan a silence. I knew that even if he already got married and had a family, he would always follow his brother's command. He knew when to shut up but he didn't know when to shut up if he was going to slander me.

Desmond glanced at Daniel. "How's your study, Daniel? Are you guiding your sisters, too?"

Daniel nodded with a smile. "Yes, Papa Mund. As their older brother, I also applied your teachings," he said politely.

He nodded his head. "Good to know." He drew out a smile.

I knew that Daniel had a soft spot for Desmond. He also cherished his nephew just as I cherished Daniel before.
