NovelEnglishChapter 183: Filial Son Andros's POV My father's gaze sharpened when he looked atafter I asked so many questions.
"You don't have to worry about those things. I already have everything all planned out," he answered me, makingfall silent. "Everyone is already working together to prepare for the event. Since we are going to introduce Astrid as a part of the family, everything needs to be grand and special," my father spoke excitedly. His eyes were glinting with excitement; he had already made up his mind about this.
I clenched my jaw as I tried to remain expressionless when I heard my father's words. I don't want him to know that I don't like this decision he made.
It was so sudden. What made him change his mind? The plan was to let Astrid leave once Beta Alek was back, just as Astrid wanted. Why is he keeping Astrid with us instead? My heart sank when my thoughts made an unexpected turn. What if my father also changes his mind in the future? What if he suddenly chooses Astrid as the future Luna of the Pack instead of me, just as he had initially planned? What if he is doing this to pave Astrid's path to the title? First, he made her the Pack's acting beta for three years to give her experience and the training that she needed. Now, he is finally announcing Astrid as his eldest child? What if he had changed his mind about me? For the past years, he had done nothing but praise Astrid for his diligent work and criticizefor being unable to keep up with Astrid.

"Andros, have you been listening?" My father asked, pullingout of my thoughts.
I swallowed hard and straightened myself. "Yes, father," I answered, not knowing what he was even talking about.
My mind was too occupied with my thoughts that I failed to listen to a word that he said.
"Is this fine with you, Andros? Are you okay with announcing Astrid as a part of our family?" My father asked as he pinneddown with his gaze, observingclosely.
I smiled and nodded my head eagerly. "We should have done this for a long time, father. Astrid is your daughter and it's right for everyone to know about that and to be formally considered as a part of our family," I answered confidently.
My words, my voice, and the fake smile on my face were able to win my father's heart. "I'm glad that you bear no hate towards Astrid, unlike your sister," my father spoke, confessing the burden in his heart.
"I will tell you the truth, father. It was also hard forto accept Astrid, that you had a child that is even older than me. But then, how could I be so selfish?" I spoke, pouring my heart out.
"You know, Asha, father. She;s just selfish of your love, she's afraid that Astrid will take away all the love and attention you are giving her-" "That will never happen," my father rebutted instantly, cuttingoff.
"I know that father, but it will take tfor Asha to understand that. Let's just give her time, father. That's all that she needs," I muttered like a good son.
