Chapter 172

The next morning, Clara got up, washed up, and headed to the dining room.

Aiden and Alex were talking about what had happened at kindergarten yesterday. When they saw their mom, they both rushed over “Mom, when can you take me to the amusement park? I really want to go!” Alex said with a grin. “Aiden says he’s never been, I want to go with him!”

Aiden made a face.

1 didn’t say I’ve never been, I said I don’t want to go.”

What’s the difference? Isn’t it just that you’ve never been? Aiden, it’s super fun!” Alex grabbed his brother’s hand and turned to Clara. “Mom, can we go his weekend?”

Before Clara could respond, Aiden shot back coldly.

I don’t want to! If you want to go, you can go alone, I’ll just watch”

Alex was about to say something when Sophia came down from her bedroom upstairs.

Seeing her two grandsons, she grinned widely.

When she saw Clara, though, she looked surprised. “What’s up? What are you guys arguing about?”

dex quickly ran to Sophia and started complaining, “Grandma, Aiden won’t go to the amusement park with me! Mom already said yes and that she’ll take ne, but then my brother said he won’t go!”

lara opened her mouth to explain, but Sophia’s face changed instantly.

What? She actually agreed to let you go play such dangerous stuff?”

That’s not it-

Do you want to get my grandson killed?” Sophia wouldn’t let Clara get a word in. “They’re still so young, the staff at the amusement park wouldn’t even at them on the rides, and yet you agreed! It’s clear now, they’re not your own children!”

lara said, “Mom, it’s not what you think! I haven’t agreed yet! It was just Alex’s idea, and we were just chatting about it!”

Chatting? So, did you ever forbid them from going to the amusement park?”

lara looked down, “No.”

And did you ever tell them it’s dangerous?”

_No.”

And you dare to take the kids to the amusement park? Clara, let me tell you, I won’t let my grandsons get hurt!”

Don’t worry, I’ll be extra careful with them! I won’t let Alex go on any dangerous rides! You see, he’s just curious and brave…”

lex had been a few times before and nothing had happened, so Clara wasn’t too worried.

ut she hadn’t expected Emmett’s mother to be so strict.

Being brave is enough? The ones who die when accidents happen are always the brave ones!” Sophia gave Clara a hard look, then said, “We’re not going here. Alex, Aiden, grandma will buy you better toys!”

lex was clearly thrilled to hear this.

iden, however…

Alex, you need to explain to grandma! Mom never actually agreed to let him go, it was always Alex’s idea, mom never explicitly agreed, and then we just tarted discussing other things!”

/hen Sophia heard this, she looked embarrassed in the end, I’m thinking of the children’s best interests! If you can understand that, great. If not, well, there’s nothing I can do about it!”
