Chapter 16


    “Hey kiddo, the boss told ya, you can’t just waltz out of this door yourself,e on back with me…..”


    Just as Alex was about to take a stride out of the door, the servant who’d just gone off for some snacks


    had already grabbed his hand.


    “I can’t stand being here anymore.” Alex shook off the servant’s hand, his eyes full of rebelliousness.


    “Oh boy, you can’t go on talking like that. Your old man would blow his top if he knew!”


    “Hmph, he’s a lousy dad! Always bossing me around and won’t even hang out with me!”


    Alex crossed his arms in discontent, snorted and then stubbornly headed back into the house. These


    servants couldn’t possibly keep an eye on him all the timel


    At night, in the darkness, the small figure on the bed squirmed restlessly. He slipped out from under the


    covers and took a peek at the servant who was fast asleep. Alex decided to give it another shot, he


    quietly opened the door and snuck out….


    Meanwhile, at ra’s apartment.


    ra closed the storybook and nted a loving kiss on Aiden’s forehead.


    “Goodnight.”


    Watching the child asleep on the bed, a content smile spread across ra’s face. Thinking about how


    she worked tirelessly for him every day and how she was greeted with his smiling face when she came


    home, she felt truly blessed.

    Softly closing the bedroom door, ra stretched her arms, there was still a lot of work to be done.


    “Go get ‘em!”


    ra mustered up her courage and pushed open the door to her study, flicking on herputer.


    “Emmett…”


    As she was sorting out Emmett’s schedule, his name unconsciously slipped out of her mouth. ra


    furrowed her brows, why did Emmett’s face seem so familiar?


    “Alex?”


    No, no, no. She quickly shook her head to dispel the absurd thought that had entered her mind.


    Her son couldn’t possibly resemble that cold–hearted big shot. Alex was clearly a lively kid! Besides,


    Emmett’s personality was nothing like Alex’s, there was no way they could be rted! What was wrong


    with her recently? Why did she keep thinking about Emmett!


    Hearing the sound of typing from the study, Aiden, who was just put to sleep, slowly opened his eyes


    and sat up on the bed. His big brown eyes darted around in the darkness, feeling a bit reluctant.


    “Mom, I’m sorry, I have to go….


    His small figure slowly made its way to the study door, whispering softly where ra couldn’t see.


    Aiden was really reluctant to leave ra, but he felt that he had been eating too much greasy food


    recently, and his grandmother must have been really worried about him! There had to be a limit to


    being willful, and he thought it was time to go home. Even if he was mad at his father, he still had his


    grandparents! They must have been worried! He was being too willful and selfish.


    ra waspletely engrossed in her work, oblivious to the child at the door and the sound of the


    door opening. She just sneezed, rubbed her nose and continued working.


    Aiden took out his savings, hailed a cab and arrived at the entrance of the Melendez family mansion.


    Just as he was about to walk in, he heard a slight noise from the side and instinctively looked over it


    was a kid who looked exactly like him!


    The two kids stared at each other, both taken aback.
