Clara was up early.

She prepared her son Alex’s favorite breakfast, sandwiches and soya milk. She pushed open the doorof the second bedroom, and gently patted her son’s little burt, “The sun is up! It’s the first day of school.We can’t be late!”

“Mom… Alex groggily got up, acting spoiled. He wrapped his arms around Clara’s neck, and kissed hercheek, “Can I sleep for another ten minutes?”

“No way!” Clara helplessly and humorously patted her son’s face, “Did you forget what mom told youyesterday?”

“Hmm…I need to go to kindergarten, and mommy needs to work, to pay for my kindergarten fees! Butyou’ve promised to take me to the amusement park so many times.” Alex scrunched his small face,“Why don’t you adults keep your promises!”

“Be good. Mom will take you next week.”

“Humph, that’s what you said last time!”

“Mom you’re always tricking me! You used to say dad was dead, but I clearly saw him on TV!”

Clara felt heartbroken, “Alex. The man on TV can’t possibly be your dad. When you grow up, mom willtell you everything.”

Inside the car, Matt respectfully handed over the documents in his hand, saying, “Sir, this is the biddingdocument for this project. These companies are strong and all within our consideration.”

The man sitting in the back seat didn’t reach out to take the documents. His thin lips slightly pursed. Hejust swept a glance with his intense eyes, and waved his

“You handle it.”

“Yes, sir.”

“Go home.”

After the man finished speaking, he turned his gaze to the window.

At this moment, his perfect side profile could be seen clearly in the car’s rear–view mirror. He had deepcontours and perfectly proportionate features. Peach–colored thin lips that looked like they werepainted with lipstick, looking very enticing.

He was rumored to dislike women and had serious germophobia! In addition, he had a child with anunknown birth mother. This was announced by the Melendez family three years ago, which hadsparked many discussions and speculations.

‘Is Aiden still refusing to eat?”

Emmett suddenly spoke Mart paused before replying, “Yes, Aiden said if he doesn’t get to see hismother, he will continue to refuse food.”

“He knows how to threaten people at such a young age.” He sneered coldly, his handsome face full ofcoldness and displeasure, “Then let him starve.”

“Stop talking: I hate noise”

“Okay” As soon as Matt’s voice fell, Emmett’s phone rang.

He glanced down. It was a call from his mother Sophia. As soon as he picked up, he heard hersobbing.

“Emmett, disaster struck! I lost Aiden‘”
