"I'm joking, dad." Kiaran laughed at Cain's serious face. He pushed the word 'dad' at the end sarcastically.
He wondered how long it had been since his father stopped using the fake kind smile on him anymore? It seemed like the man realized that the overly kind smile would not work on him.
He was not that naive, you see.
He learned how to manipulate from the best person anyway by experiencing it firsthand. It did not take long for the student to beat the teacher.
"Of course, you won't do something like that, considering Adreanna could do it on her own." He shrugged, playing with the coin that was in his hand all the time, and tossed it to the sky.
Kiaran caught the coin and flipped it to his palm. "But she has another thing to do, you see."
"I know my words won't work on you anyway. You probably won't do it for Adreanna head-on foolishly." He smiled, flashing Cain's identical fake kind smile.
