Chapter 15

“Huh? Why? Don’t tell me you don’t like mommy’s kisses anymore?”

Clara looked at her son with a puzzled expression, feeling that he had been acting a bit strange lately. Remembering his serious face when she entered the room just now, Clara chuckled and took his little hand, “Kiddo, Mommy had a greal first day at work. Let’s celebrate at Domino’s ”

“Pizza?” Aiden’s brows furrowed slightly

So yesterday was Burger King, and today is Domino’s. Does Mommy like fast food or is it this kid called Alex who likes it?

“Yep!” Clara thought her son was surprised and quickly reassured him with a smile, “Alright, I know I always kept you away from this stuff before, but after you ran away from home last time, Mommy realized what’s important. As long as you’re safe by my side, whatever you want to eat, Mommy will take you.”

“You’re the best….” Aiden said flatly, but he felt warmth in his heart. He didn’t actually like eating so much fast food, but he had always craved this kind of motherly love from Clara

“C’mon, son. Let’s hit the road.” Hearing her son’s praise, Clara’s mood lifted even more. She took Aiden’s little hand, helped him into his clothes and headed out.

Aiden didn’t resist, letting Clara lead him. Normally he could dress himself at home, but when Clara helped him button up and tie his shoelaces, he cherished the feeling. Now and then, Aiden would look up at the beautiful woman beside him. She really was like a mother….

Clara ordered a bunch of pizzas for Aiden, all Alex’s favorites. But Aiden just stared at the greasy food, somewhat at a loss. For the entire meal, he only ate a little….

Meanwhile,

Alex, who was living in the Melendez mansion in Aiden’s place, wasn’t feeling so great.

“I’ve already said I don’t want to read. Why do you guys keep shoving books in my face?”

He sat there looking irritated, arms crossed, and clearly unhappy. Living with the Melendez family was great, except for the studying part and the difficult knowledge he had to learn. He thought even middle schoolers would have struggled with it. Who made a kid read books about CEO skills?

“Aiden,” the tutor tried to appease him while awkwardly laughing, “Aren’t these the books you and Mr. Emmett asked for? Don’t you usually love reading these?”

“I usually love these?”

Alex thought the kid called Aiden was nuts. He was trying to emulate his CEO Dad at such a young age! No wonder he looked so serious in photos, just like his dad Emmett

“Yes, Aiden….” novelbin

“Humph, whatever.” Alex waved his hand dismissively, “Go to the kitchen and find me some snacks. I’m going to get some fresh air in the yard.”

He sent the tutor away and went to the yard alone, lowering his head. He began to miss his mom.

Yes, Mom! It seemed like it was time to go back! He suddenly perked up, and ran to the gate ready to go find his mom.
