@Moonlit200 at some point i also felt like Ian genuinely likes Noah and ended things so noah doesn't have to meet his family or Ian either hid something he doesn't want Noah to find out.And after his rut he knew he slept with Noah cause Noah left university suddenly and went back to Korea so that was suspicious for him.If you ask me why he needed 5 years to find him like he will say in the next chapter their kid inherited ian's illness due to his hyper dominant dna that runs in his family and the only medicine that cures it was a hospital run by his family and they were suspicious of who this little boy was cause the illness is rare and part of their family so before they got more information or tracked the omega Ian wanted to safe them based on my opinion
