Chapter 110

Hearing the news, Alex’s face turned sour. He covered his ears and was about to bolti Clara quickly grabbed him, “Alex, you can’t run away! Sooner or later, you’ve gotta face the music. I know it’s a tough pill to swallow, but we can’t keep this under wraps anymore.”

“I don’t wanna hear it! I don’t want that so–called biological father. I only want Mr. Milburn! If Mr. Milburn can’t be my dad, then I don’t want a dad at all I’m perfectly fine with just me and you!”

Clara was heartbroken to see her son be so rebellious.

She suddenly hugged her son as tears streamed down her face like pearls from a broken necklace.

I’m sorry Alex! Mom couldn’t give you a picture–perfect family, and I couldn’t find a Dad that you liked.

This is all my fault.”

Seeing his Mom crying. Alex burst into tears and started wiping her tears away “Mom, don’t cry! I’ll listen to whatever you say I won’t be stubborn anymore. I don’t need Mr. Milburn.”

“I’m sorry”

“Mom, stop crying! Alex loves you!”

Clara nodded, wiping away her son’s tears. “Alex, I have to take you to meet your biological father. No matter what, he’s your dad, and he’ll be good to you.”

“Is it that Emmett?”

Clara was taken aback.

She didn’t expect her son to know his name.

“How did you…

*Mom, he seems very cold. Will he be nice to you? He’s not like Mr. Milburn, who’s always cheerful and likes to play with me. He won’t be good to us!”

Alex was put off when he thought about how serious Emmett always looked, without even a smile.

Clara could only sigh inwardly.

How could she be willing to take a gamble with Emmett? But the adult world isn’t as simple as a child’s So many things were out of their control The fact that Elio could think of this solution was a silver lining. She could be with Alex and Aiden and, most importantly, not cause trouble for Elio.

She was content with this outcome.

Three days later, Elio called Emmett “Mr. Melendez, I’ve brought the person. Do you want to meet her now?”

“Bring the woman first, no need for the kid,” Emmett said.

“Okay, got it.”

After hanging up, Emmett poured himself a glass of water, took a sip, and then looked up Clara’s number.

Should he tell Clara about this?

After all, he was about to meet Aiden’s biological mother. He wasn’t sure how Clara would react After some thought, Emmett dialed the number.

As soon as the call connected, he could tell something was off with Clara’s tone.

“You sound tense, what’s going on?”

“Nothing, nothing at all!”

“Clara, you promised you wouldn’t lie to me about anything involving another man Clara quickly replied, “I’m not lying! L..I just finished exercising, and went out for a run, so I might sound a bit out of breath.”
