Chapter 32

Clara bent down and caressed her son’s cheek. “Sweetheart, without you, Mommy wouldn’t be able togo on! So you have to be good and listen to me, okay? I won’t let anyone take you away!”

Alex didn’t fully understand and asked, “Mommy who wants to take me away? Is it Daddy?”

“The adult world is very complicated. You’re still young and don’t need to understand these things! Youjust need to remember that Mormy will always love you Do you know? If someone replaces out about you,then you’ll have to leave Mammy forever!”

Upon hearing this. Alex immediately grabbed a face mask I wear i Mommy don’t worry, Ill always be byyour side!

Clara stroked her son’s hair, feeling somewhat guilty as she lowered her head Sometimes she didn’tknow if what she was doing was right Alex and herself hadn’t lived a prosperous life And her other childwould be separated from his brother!

Clara had considered sending Alex away. But she couldn’t do it! She couldn’t! For so many years, Alexhad been her sole reason for persevering and continuing to live.

Meanwhile, in a black Bentley, Aiden was staring at his phone

No texts, no calls

What the heck is Alex up to!

“Aren’t you supposed to be hanging out with me? And you’re just staring at your phone? Emmettnotices his son’s odd behavior and asks.

Aiden glanced at his father, pockets his phone, “I’m waiting for a call”

“From a classmate?

“A friend”

“Keeping secrets so young” Emmett chuckled, “But you keep asking me to hang out with you and thenyou just stare at your phone, not even looking up when you talk to me That’s just plain rude.”

Aiden said, “Sorry, dad.”

“This is the first time we’re out together, just the two of us. If there’s anything you want, just tell me.”

After all, this amusement park was owned by the Melendez family, whatever Aiden wanted, he justneeded to tell Emmett.

Aiden nodded obediently, but his attention remained on his phone Why hasn’t he received a call yet….

Suddenly, he spoke up, “Dad, I need to go to the restroom.”

Emmett furrowed his brow, “Now?”

“Yes! I cant hold it anymore”

“Pull over.” Emmett glanced at the restaurant outside. “I’ll take you.”

“I can go by myself!” Aiden quickly got out of the car, phone in hand, and entered the restaurant.

The server was surprised to see only a young child. “Hello, what can I get you? A glass of lemonade?”

Aiden smiled and sat down, then immediately called Alex

This guy is so unreliable!

First time.. no answer.

Second time still no answer!

Aiden started to feel anxious. He sent a message to Alex’s phone, but there was no response at all!

“Did he change his mind?”

“Here’s your lemonade.”

Aiden thanked him and paid the bill, but he didn’t drink the lemonade. He leftright after.

When he got back in the car, Emmett looked at him, “That was quick.”

“I just just.

Alden wasn’t used to being close to his dad, so he stuttered a bit.

“Can we leave now?”

“Yes”

Aiden took a deep breath

Looks like trusting that guy named Alex was a mistake!
