章 158: Don't Lie To Me

(WESLEY)

Miles studies me for a while and when I don't answer immediately, he says, "Please, Wesley, I'm worried about Arlo. We need your help." He kisses him on the forehead. "This is too much for him to handle. It's even worse that I don't know how to take care of a baby. Could you start tomorrow? Please. I am willing to pay you triple what the agency asked for."

I know for a prideful alpha like Miles, begging isn't easy. The fact that he can step on his pride to show vulnerability for his omega warms me. It makes my heart ache even. What omega wouldn't want their alpha to protect them like that? It is true that working with a family that is influenced by the mafia doesn't sit right with me, but my empathy for Arlo overrides that fact.
