âHmm..â
Taylor is waiting outside, are you sure you donât want to see him?â
Clara was taken aback and quickly shook her head, âNo, Iâm not going! I donât think I should see him, and I wonât have anything to say if I do! Besides, Iâm swamped with work today, I donât have time to sea him.â
âClara, tell me the truth, is your kid Taylorâs?â
Their interactions gave him reason to suspect Clara was stunned and nearly burst into laughter âMi Melendez what are you thinking? Taylor and How could we possibly have a child!?â
âTaylor is so insistent on seeing you, and youâre telling me youâre just Iriends, should I believe that?â
âBut weâre really just acquaintancesâ
Otherwise, Taylor wouldnât have left so decisively back then if he hadnât left, she wouldnât have agreed to have a child for the Melendez family âYou should know about the business rivalry between Taylor and me. Now that youâre my wife, I donât want any scandal involving you and himâ
Clara hurriedly nodded. âDonât worry! I wonâtâ

âItâs me1 Alexâ
Elio rubbed his head and took a moment to recognize him, âOh man, you scared the life out of me!

âMr Milburn, do you really like my mom?â
Elio was taken aback, âYou little rascal, why are you asking this?â
âBecause I think Mr Milburn likes my mom?â
âLook, even a kid like you knows, and your mom is still clueless! I donât know if sheâs genuinely oblivious or just playing dumb Elio sighed, âThat goof, falling for her is like a cosmic joke.â
There were so many women around him, but he wanted to marry her.
âShould I tell Mom?â
âNah, your mom probably wonât take your words senously Elio rubbed his forehead, âI need to go to the hospital for surgery this afternoon, wait for me at home, okay? Iâll take you out tonightâ
Alex nodded, âOkay Mr Milburn, have you decided to pursue my mom?â
âNo! Not at air âThen then âAlexâs eyes twinkled, and he grinned, âIf youâll buy me a full set of the new Transformers toys, then I consider helping you chase my mom ââOnly God knew how much Elio wanted to record this conversation and let Clara hear it!
