The manager, struggling to accommodate their super VIP gift card during such a busy time, caught Alexisâ attention.
The manager, apologetically addressing Alexis, said, âWeâre kind of overwhelmed with reservations today.
â
After a moment of hesitation, Alexisâ gaze fell on a little boy with big, watery eyes that sparkled with an innocent curiosity.
He reminded her strikingly of her own younger son, bearing a resemblance so strong they could be mistaken for brothers.
This revelation left Alexis momentarily speechless, her attention shifting to Julie, who was visibly tense.
The encounter with a member of the Fowler family, of all people, had Julie in a state of dismay.
Confronted by Matthewâs aunt, she found herself nervously avoiding Alexisâ steady gaze, her hands fidgeting.
Alexis, though taken aback, maintained her composure, a trait of the Fowler lineage.
She crouched to Matthewâs level, her voice soft.
âHello, whatâs your name, little one?â
âIâm Matthew Brown,â he replied with the politeness of a well-raised child.
The surname confirmed Alexisâ suspicion that Matthew had ties to her family.
She rose, extending an invitation to Julie.
âI have a large table, room enough for all of us.
My daughter is here too; the children might enjoy each otherâs company.
â
Evelynâs observation added a layer of intrigue.
âHe looks just Like Daniel.
â
With a warm smile, Alexis turned to Julie.
âDanielâs my youngest.
Itâs quite remarkable, but Matthew does bear a striking resemblance to him.
â
She proceeded to show Julie photos of Daniel on her phone, suggesting, âLook at them.
Wouldnât you agree they could pass as brothers?â
The conversation overwhelmed Julie, her anxiety manifesting as a cold sweat.
Alexis then remarked to the manager about the roomâs temperature, to which he responded apologetically, explaining the automated temperature control.
Left with little choice, Julie agreed to share the table with Alexis and Evelyn.
Once Matthew and Evelyn were seated together, Alexis captured a photo of the pair and shared it on her social media, captioned, âEncountered a little boy who could almost be Danielâs twin!â
The post sent shockwaves through the Fowler family, sparking a flurry of reactions.
Waylen, clearly agitated, left a sarcastic comment under the post.
âSo, weâre just finding random kids who resemble the Fowler offspring now! Marcus Fowler, really showing your stripes, arenât you?â
Leonel jumped in with his own speculation.
âIs this little guy going to be claimed, or is he a secret from the Fowler closet?â
