+5 Free Coins Hearing that, Mateo felt a flash of irritation. He had been nothing but open with Dickson, yet the kid was still giving him this attitude.
He nodded stiffly. "Fine. Fine!" He didn't ask again, just turned and walked away.
For the rest of the day, everyone could tell something was off between them.
Jonathan and Sierra didn't feel it was their place to ask, but Draven did pull Mateo aside.

He truly had no idea what was going on with Dickson. He had been good to him from the start - first out of respect for Jonathan and Sierra, and later because he genuinely found the kid obedient and sharp, someone he could treat like his own little brother.

He was in a good mood, even joking along with Autumn and the others, which set off a round of laughter. Mateo looked troubled. "Guess I'll have to put sthought into it." Who would've thought Jonathan would be the first among them to settle down and have a kid? And once Jonathan got married, the rest of them were suddenly getting nudged toward the altar too. These days, Mateo was constantly being set up on blind dates. Just thinking about another one tomorrow gave him a headache.
