Chapter 59: Interstellar / 7.8 : Secrets and delusions

Shangyu was fighting in his training room at home when he received a message. He stopped and tapped on his watch. A holographic display appeared and he frowned when he saw his father yell:

"Come into my office now!"

He closed it and left for his office. He's already in a bad mood so his father better be careful. He knocked and entered when he was allowed. He stood before his desk with a raised eyebrow. Zihang asked:

"Guessed who just called me?"

Shangyu lifted his shoulders uncaring.

"It was Shian, Eden's mother."

At that moment Shangyu's impassivity was gone and he immediately asked:

"Is everything okay? Did something happen to Eden?"

Zihang frowned at that leak of emotion from his son.

"He is fine."

Shangyu relaxed. Zihang frowned deeper.

"His mother called to end the engagement."

Shangyu's face fell and he asked with difficulty:

"Why?"
