Head Over Heels

Fraud Daddy is worried because his Son is a VillainChapter 4-1-After shopping they went home to put Dale's clothes in the house."I will go and buy food in the supermarket, what will you do?" Lutes asksDale stood up fast."I'm coming!"Lutes frowns in his enthusiasm."You are not tired then do your assignments."Dale shakes his head."I am not tired. And I already completed my assignments."Lutes nods.His instant son is really capable.And very responsible."Very well,"They set out again and buy food supplies from the supermarket store.The two, father and son, are very eye catching despite so many people wandering around the supermarket store.Supermarkets not only have dry goods but also vegetables and meat products.Though buying meat products and fish in the mall is not worth it,in his opinion, he still thinks that the merit is that they came from a reliable supplier so he still bought some to stock in the fridge.Frozen products are also popular but as a chef he can still cook something more better for his son.So he only bought raw meat."What is your favorite food?" Lutes asks Dale."Meat." Dale said.Vocally saying what he truly likes makes Lutes paused a bit.Seeing Dale happily pushing the cart he sighs.He thinks Dale is so easy to coax.Just give him a bit of love and he is all over him.But that also makes Lutes sad, it means Dale is so deprived of love."Then, father will cook more meat in the future."Dale nods happily."But you still need to eat your vegetables."Dale grins happily.He is not picky.Even green bell pepper, he ate them without question unlike his classmates.Lutes nods and he is very glad to have a reasonable and trust worthy son."Excuse me, you are so handsome, can I take your picture?" A teenager asks. Behind her in the corner are two to three teenagers who are giggling.Lutes shakes his head."I am not an artist and I am with my son. I don't want him to make a wrong impression."He politely declines.The teenager looked shocked and looked at Dale."Ah! I thought he was your brother. I am sorry Sir." Dale pouts but says nothing.Lutes just smiled when the girl fled away.Dale frowns and touches his face."What's wrong?" Lutes asks."Dad, we don't look alike." Dale said sadly.Their neighbor said he is handsome like his father but their eyes, nose and lips, they don't have in common.Dale looks down.They don't look father and son so he thought his father doesn't like him because of that.There is also one gossip he heard that haunts Dale till now.The gossip says, the reason why his mother and father separated is because he was a son of another man from his mother's lover.That is why he is always conscious about his looks.He wanted to look a bit like his father.Lutes frowns.He doesn't feel hostile toward a cute teenage girl but now he feels irritated.How can he explain this?His instant son would not look like him because they are not really related by blood."You look more like your mother." He said. But he is sure that it is not true.The novel said….this villain looks like his biological father.Even the protagonist of the story only looks half his father but this villain is exactly a carbon copy of his dad.So surely, the trace of his mother will not be visible.But what else can he say in this situation?"You two have a lovely face." He said pinching Dale's cheek.Dale blushes and back out. Rubbing his burning cheeks.He looks away.Lutes happily avoided the issue.He knows this is temporary but he still not sure how to tell the boy….or would he ever tell him?He's rather if he doesn't know.-2-Lutes puts the grocery down.Behind him is Dale who has one eco bag on his hand."Put it down. Is it heavy?"Dale shakes his head."Not heavy!"Lutes laughs and rubs his head."You are sweating. Go and change clothes.""Okay." Dale happily runs to his room.Lutes put the canned goods on the shelves and then wash the vegetables, meat and seafood, before putting the meat, seafood in the plastic containers and put it inside the almost empty fridge.Lutes sighs.He removed all the food inside the fridge, defroze it and cleaned it. It has some funny smell so deodorizing it first is best so the food inside will not be spoiled.He feels accomplished now that he thinks about how smart he was.If he needs to do this cleaning and defrosting now, he will be dead tired so it's good that he thought of it before going out before lunch.From the fridge filled with food that is questionable when did it last put inside the fridge. The fridge is now filled with food they bought just now.He used a pet to make a list of food he bought and put the date on it. He will be putting check if he will remove the item out and put more paper notes if he bought something again.This way he would be sure which to throw and which to prioritize in cooking to not waste food.He also called Dale to tell him the new fridge system.Dale nods.He has no opinion about food. He only eats when he is hungry.Dale looks at his father busy in the kitchen.Lutes looks back at him.He is sitting in the kitchen while holding a book but Lutes knows that Dale is looking at him."Food will be ready soon. Are you hungry?""Dad…""Hmm?""Are you not going out?"Dale asks."It's already late. Where else do you want to go?" He frowns.Lutes thinks his son is so deprived even at night he wants to go out?He can't always indulge him."No...Well, Aren't you going at your work?"He doesn't know what exactly his father's job is. He always wore fancy clothes and heavy perfume.His father even used some lip product and some make ups to make him look more handsome.When he returned in the morning he would always smell alcohol and tired.Though he has no idea what's the truth about his father's job but their neighbors gossipping makes him aware that his father is not doing a very notable job."Ah." Now that he asks, Lutes forgot about the original work because he doesn't want to work there.Still, he should formally resign and leave without no hard feelings.He checked his phone.It is 2 hours before his work hours."It's fine. I will go there today but tomorrow I will no longer work in the club. I would not have that large salary later and we might find a smaller renting house."Dale nods his head.Lutes smiles at him."What are you nodding for?"Dale blushes."Father, I agree you should not work there. It's fine to live in a smaller house." Thinking his father will misunderstand he immediately continues. "Because..Because father is always going back drunk and very tired. It is not good for father's health. Is all what I think."Dale looks at his father's face. He feared he would be mad at him meddling in his affairs.Lutes rubs his head."My son is worried about me?"Dale blushes even more he doesn't look at his father but nods his head with a small 'hmm'.Lute chuckles."Okay, go and get the plates. The food is ready."-3-Dale happily eats the food his father prepared for them. Even the soup and the vegetable dish tasted meat and it's too tasty that Dale eats too much again.Lutes reprimanded him that eating too much at night is bad but while eating he keeps quiet because he wants Dale to have self awareness for himself."You stand and walk around the house or watch television. Dad will prepare to go to work tonight."Dale shyly nods his head.But he is too happy today so he doesn't feel bad being reprimanded by his daddy.Lutes frowns.Seeing all the fancy clothes, though they are not gaudy, a person like him who likes to hide in the kitchen will not feel happy to wear this kind of clothes.Still, he picked the white tuxedo.It is so dashing that even he, himself ,felt a bit shy, he still wanted to wear it.Also, this is the original's favorite that he bought with his own money.Wearing this makes him feel like he is a celebrity.Though he has a tendency to be narcissistic, it's only in terms of cooking not his looks."How do I look?" Lutes asks his son who is standing while walking slowly around the living room.Dale froze.He blinked and gave his father a wide grin."Daddy, you look so handsome."Lutes chuckles."I think so too?" He said a bit unsureDale nods like a chicken pecking rice grains."Very, very, very!"Lutes grins and rubs his head."I'll go out now. Don't close the lights in the living room and your room if you are afraid. Sleep after I went out.""Hmm." Dale looks a bit sad but he understands that this is the last night his father is working on that place.Lutes rubs his head and kisses his forehead."Lock the door and don't open it for anyone. I have my key so I won't knock on the door. If someone tries to break in you call the police on your phone."Dale smiles."I...don't have a phone Daddy."Lutes was taken aback.He assumes he has his own phone."Okay. Use Daddy's phone. The password is your birthday."Dale shyly takes it and immediately tries the password.His face brightens seeing it was really his birthday.Lutes laughs.His thoughtful changing of password actually works to buy some cookie points toward his son.He actually wants to not forget his birthday because he often forgets things like birthdays but since he is now a father with a broken relationship with his son, he needs to remember these things for a more harmonious life.This actually makes Dale head over heels toward his father.He swore to be his father's number one 1 in this world.Lutes left the house to go to work.
