Side Story 1 - Petty Jealousy

“Pa, pa...”

As soon as Rida’s babbling was heard, Zahir woke up with a start and removed his sleep mask.

Fortunately, the baby was still asleep.

Judging by the rosy tint of his cheeks, he was probably dreaming about seeing his dad.

‘Which daddy, though?’

Still drowsy, Zahir touched his index finger to the tiny, fiddling hand, pondering this question.

Rida gently grasped his father’s finger with his small, delicate hands.

Finding this unbearably adorable, Zahir patted his chest soothingly.

That was when he noticed someone approaching—it was his secretary, who had been assisting him for nearly fifteen years.

Seeing that Rida was asleep, the secretary typed a message on his phone and showed it to Zahir instead of speaking out loud to avoid waking the child.

[We will be there in one hour, Your Highness.]

Zahir smiled brightly and nodded.

Finally, they would meet.

The thought of seeing Cesare after just a few days apart quickened his heartbeat.
