.I don’t have much faith that my family will react the same way yours did.”“Still.It doesn’t seem very fair that you had to endure dinner and a party, then I get out of it because of my brother.”Turning to look at Mason, Ion said, “Tell Alyssa that Adrien will be there in a few minutes.”“Yes, sir.” Mason inclined his head to both of them before leaving.Ion took Adrien’s hand then led him to the couch where he sat, tugging him down.He cradled Adrien’s face, holding him so he could gaze into his eyes.“You’ll eventually get a chance to meet my family.We aren’t breaking up any time soon.I love you, Adrien, and I can wait.You have to take care of your family first or at least, you have to ease your mother’s mind, even if you want to let your brother twist in the wind.”Adrien leant forward to rest his forehead against Ion’s.“I’m tired of being the one to clean up his messes.Just once I would love it if he tried to fix his problems without calling Mother or me.”Embracing him, Ion pressed his lips against Adrien’s ear.“Someday he will.Unfortunately, until then, you have to be the adult and help him out.”“I know.All right.I’ll have Daniel drop you off at your parents’.If you want, he can take you back to your apartment afterwards as well.” Adrien stood, taking Ion with him.“I can grab the subway back.Daniel can either go home or come back to drive you to the city.” He snagged his jacket from where he’d tossed it earlier then got his bag.After wandering downstairs, Ion gave Mason his luggage to put in the trunk of the car.Ion thanked the man then followed Adrien to the drawing room where Alyssa waited.Alyssa greeted him with a worried smile.“I hope you don’t mind me stealing Adrien away from you, Ion.”He took her hand in his then covered it with his other one.“I don’t mind at all, Alyssa.I completely understand.I have to head back, but I wanted to thank you for the wonderful weekend.I truly enjoyed meeting you and all of Adrien’s family.”“I’m so glad Adrien brought you.You’re the perfect match for him, and I look forward to seeing you again.” She kissed his cheek and pressed his hand before letting him go.“Adrien, walk Ion out.This can wait until you say goodbye.”“Certainly, Mother.” Adrien gestured for Ion to head out in front of him.Daniel was standing by the car outside, and Ion pointed towards the man as they left the house.He turned back to kiss Adrien goodbye.“I’ll text you when I get to my parents’.Let me know if you’re going to be back tonight or if you’ll have to stay out here longer,” he said.Adrien nodded.“Of course.I’ll see you tomorrow at work if I get all of this taken care of tonight.”Ion hugged him tight before strolling over to where Daniel held the door to the back of the car open.“Can you just drop me off at my parents’? Then you can go home or back here if necessary.”“Yes, sir.” Daniel shut the door.Leaning back in the leather seat, Ion pulled out his phone while Daniel climbed behind the wheel then started the vehicle.He dialled his parents’ home number.“Vasile residence.How may I help you?” his mother answered.“Hey, Mama,” he said, staring out of the window, watching the Bellamy mansion slowly fading out of sight.“Ion.You are still coming to dinner tonight?”It was funny that the first thought on her mind was dinner.“Yes.I’ll be there, but not until six-thirty.I’m heading back into the city now.”She hummed and he could almost see her eyes narrow in suspicion.“Into the city? Where were you?”“I was out in the Hamptons with my boyfriend, visiting his family.” Ion braced for her reaction.“He was going to come and meet you tonight, but he had an emergency to take care of.He’ll come out next Sunday, if it’s all right with you.”Silence met his comment, not surprising him.Ion chose to wait her out because he wasn’t going to let her off the hook.He waited to hear what she had to say.“We’ll talk about it when you get here.I’ll let the others know that dinner will be a little late.Drive safe.” She hung up without saying goodbye.Ion tossed his phone onto his jacket in the seat next to him.He should’ve known Adrien wouldn’t get a warm welcome at his home.His parents were nice people, but they were old-fashioned in their beliefs, which meant they thought he should marry a good girl and have children to continue the family name.Bogdan had done his job, having married Olive and had two kids.Ion was a constant disappointment to his mother for not giving her more grandchildren to spoil and another daughter-in-law to teach to cook traditional family favourites.There was nothing to say that she couldn’t teach Adrien to make them, and Ion wouldn’t have been surprised if he wanted to learn.He’d been taking a chance in bringing Adrien home, but he had wanted to give them a chance to meet the man he loved.Ion knew that if they turned their back on Adrien and refused him entrance to their home and family, Ion would choose Adrien over them.Life was too short to be miserable.He wouldn’t deny the love he thought he could find with Adrien just because his parents didn’t want him to be gay.His phone rang and he checked the screen
