âThat just proves Iâm straightâ
âWhy are you like this, though? Do you want to look for that woman from before Patrick Melendez asked. âI feel like you didnât really have a problem with her back then, right?â
Emmett remained silent âThis can be easily sorted! I can go find her for you! Your mom was in touch with this woman, she should still be able to track her down.â
âNo need Emmett rejected the offer outright I donât have time to think about this stuff now. All you need to know is that Iâm perfectly normal. And Alden is very healthy Whether I get married or not is irrelevant!
If you have time for this, youâd better go on a trip with momâ
âDoes that have anything to do with it? Are you planning to stay single forever?â
âI canât be with other women, no one can change that Emmett said âI canât help it eitherâ
Patrick frowned. âThen you have two choices Either I go find the woman who gave birth to your child, or you marry your secretary! I feel like you donât have an issue with herâ
âI reject both options.â
âWhy?â
âDonât worry about my business. I have my own plansâ
4 Having said that, Emmett turned and left Patrick slammed the table in anger. âYou really have grown up, not even listening to your own father anymore!â
On a weekend morning Clara Calloway woke up early to tackle the house chores, including the laundry.
She was relieved that Alex had enough clothes; otherwise, he would have had nothing to wear. With work waiting for her when she returned home and the added task of organizing Emmettâs work, Clara simply couldnât afford to spend time on housework âMommy!â Alex emerged from his bedroom, rubbing his sleepy eyes Tâm going to be late for school.
Why didnât you wake me up.
Clara gently tapped Alexâs nose and replied, âDonât you remember? Today is the weekend! Although your test scores werenât great this time, youâve been working hard, so mommy still wants to reward you!â
Hearing this, Alexâs eyes instantly lit up âMommy! Youâre the best! Can I mally go to the amusement park?â
âMommy will be with you all day today! Weâll go have some fun and then enjoy your favorite burgers.â
âAwesome!â Alex began to smile. He was thinking about calling Aiden later to check on him.
However Alex was so excited that he forgot to call. They had already gotten to the entrance of the amusement park when he remembered!
Clara went to buy the tickets, Alex hurriedly tried to sneak a call to Aiden using his phone, but He forgot to bring his phone too!
Oh no Alex couldnât help but pout. He wasnât afraid of anything now itâs just that he knew Aiden would scold him, and he felt a little nervous as if he had done something wrong.
âAlex what are you doing?â Clara held the tickets and looked at her son.
âI didnât do anything Iâm just waiting here for you!â
âWhat a good boy!â Clara handed the mask and hat in her hand to her son, âWe should follow our usual practice, we need to wear these in crowded public placesâ
Alex looked at the hat and mask, this time he hesitated a bit, âMom, can I not wear these? Why do I always have to wear these? I see other kids donât have to.â
âDo you want to leave mommy?â
Alex shook his head vigorously. âNoâ
