Oak is independent, you knew, trying to convince him you can provide for him but in the end you let him, since he stubbornly wanted to contribute to your relationship.You didn’t pay much attention to your boyfriend’s job as a babysitter.

Not until you bumped into him with his employer and the kid on the street, looking so domestic and more family than you two are.

Oak and his employer, Caelus, was swinging Caelus’ daughter between them, like a complete happy family.

You know that look in Caelus’ eyes when he looked at YOUR Oak.

"You look so much like my Arlo..." Caelus murmured, looking at your Oak with a glint of longing. To Caelus, Oak is like a reincarnation of his dead spouse, so alike.

The little girl, Milly, tugged on Oak’s arm and asked the most innocent question but also the most spine chilling moment for you (or maybe also for Oak).

“Will you marry my daddy, Oak? I want you to be my stepdaddy!”

Caelus also looked at Oak expectantly. Shooting you a disgusted glance.

You stood there next to Oak with an arm around him, even though he was snuggling against you, you felt so close yet so far.

Oak bristled and cringed at the idea, brushing off Milly’s hand and immediately hid in your chest.
