The servant suddenly found that Aiden wasn’t in bed. He quickly opened the door to search for him and was met with a face very similar to Emmett’s
“Aiden, where the hell have you been? You gave me a scare! Why aren’t you in your mom at this ungodly hour?” The servant patted his chest with an anxious expression If Aiden managed to sneak out under his watch again, he’d be in deep water.
Aiden, with a poker face, responded nonchalantly, “I went for a walk.”
“A walk? At this hour? The servant looked outside, a hint of confusion painted on his face.
“What you got a problem with that?” Aiden shot back, his face stem, aware that the servant was questioning his actions.
“No, no. I’m sorry, Aiden!” The servant gave an awkward laugh. As long as Aiden was fine, he could go wherever and whenever he pleased!
Aiden went back to his room but didn’t sleep, anxiously waiting for a message from Alex on his phone,
He was curious about the situation there.
Half an hour later, his phone screen lit up with Alex’s number.
“Are you home yet?” Aiden asked, sounding like an adult.
“Yeah, Mom’s still in the study, I didn’t get caught….” Alex’s voice was hushed, carefully not wanting to disturb Clara.
“Good, go to sleep.”
“Hold on, big bro….” Alex stopped him, worried he’d hang up. He had a lot of questions, glanced at the door, and then asked hesitantly, “Do you know why Mom and Dad split up? How did they choose us, why did Dad not want me, and Mom not want you?”
He felt lost. Although he never regretted following his mom, he wanted to know why Emmett left him and his mom. novelbin
Aiden pondered for a moment, then replied calmly. “I think Dad doesn’t know about you. As for why they split, I don’t know….”
He’d never heard Grandma or Dad mention Alex. Their personalities were completely different, and if Dad knew they were twins, he would’ve noticed something during these past few days.
Actually, Aiden wanted to know why his mom never looked for him even though she knew about him! Did she not miss him at all?
“Bro, do you like Mom? Do you want to live with her?” Hearing Aiden’s words, a cloud seemed to lift from Alex’s heart.
“I thought she was okay, but Mom seems a bit scared of Dad… and she doesn’t seem to know that Emmett is our dad.”
“Then… then we could try bringing Mom and Dad back together! That way, we could have both Mom and Dad, and we could live together!”
Alex was somewhat excited and hopeful at the thought of him and Aiden working together.
“It’s late, go to sleep. We’ll talk about this tomorrow.” Aiden said with a tone of a schoolteacher.
To be honest, he was also looking forward to Alex’s proposition, but compared to Alex, he was more afraid of Clara knowing about him and not accepting him. But as the older brother, he didn’t share these thoughts with Alex. He wanted to investigate everything first. What if there was a misunderstanding between his parents?
The next day, Clara woke up late and hastily pulled Alex out of bed. She dressed him up and took him to kindergarten.
“Mom, did you forget to kiss me? You have to kiss me, then I can leave!”
Alex pointed at his cheek, his face lit up with a bright smile.
“Kiss you?” Clara stammered, then affectionately rubbed his little nose, “You little pumkin, you’re full of surprises. Weren’t you the one acting all grown up yesterday. not wanting Mom’s kisses?”
“No kisses allowed?”
