Chapter 18


    The servant suddenly found that Aiden wasn’t in bed. He quickly opened the door to search for him and


    was met with a face very simr to Emmett’s


    “Aiden, where the hell have you been? You gave me a scare! Why aren’t you in your mom at this


    ungodly hour?” The servant patted his chest with an anxious expression If Aiden managed to sneak out


    under his watch again, he’d be in deep water.

    Aiden, with a poker face, responded nonchntly, “I went for a walk.”


    “A walk? At this hour? The servant looked outside, a hint of confusion painted on his face.


    “What you got a problem with that?” Aiden shot back, his face stem, aware that the servant was


    questioning his actions.


    “No, no. I’m sorry, Aiden!” The servant gave an awkwardugh. As long as Aiden was fine, he could go


    wherever and whenever he pleased!


    Aiden went back to his room but didn’t sleep, anxiously waiting for a message from Alex on his phone,


    He was curious about the situation there.


    Half an hourter, his phone screen lit up with Alex’s number.


    “Are you home yet?” Aiden asked, sounding like an adult.


    “Yeah, Mom’s still in the study, I didn’t get caught….” Alex’s voice was hushed, carefully not wanting to


    disturb ra.


    “Good, go to sleep.”


    “Hold on, big bro….” Alex stopped him, worried he’d hang up. He had a lot of questions, nced at the


    door, and then asked hesitantly, “Do you know why Mom and Dad split up? How did they choose us,


    why did Dad not want me, and Mom not want you?”


    He felt lost. Although he never regretted following his mom, he wanted to know why Emmett left him


    and his mom.


    Aiden pondered for a moment, then replied calmly. “I think Dad doesn’t know about you. As for why


    they split, I don’t know….”


    He’d never heard Grandma or Dad mention Alex. Their personalities werepletely different, and if


    Dad knew they were twins, he would’ve noticed something during these past few days.


    Actually, Aiden wanted to know why his mom never looked for him even though she knew about him!


    Did she not miss him at all?


    “Bro, do you like Mom? Do you want to live with her?” Hearing Aiden’s words, a cloud seemed to lift


    from Alex’s heart.


    “I thought she was okay, but Mom seems a bit scared of Dad… and she doesn’t seem to know that


    Emmett is our dad.”


    “Then… then we could try bringing Mom and Dad back together! That way, we could have both Mom


    and Dad, and we could live together!”


    Alex was somewhat excited and hopeful at the thought of him and Aiden working together.


    “It’ste, go to sleep. We’ll talk about this tomorrow.” Aiden said with a tone of a schoolteacher.


    To be honest, he was also looking forward to Alex’s proposition, butpared to Alex, he was more


    afraid of ra knowing about him and not epting him. But as the older brother, he didn’t share


    these thoughts with Alex. He wanted to investigate everything first. What if there was a


    misunderstanding between his parents?


    The next day, ra woke upte and hastily pulled Alex out of bed. She dressed him up and took him


    to kindergarten.


    “Mom, did you forget to kiss me? You have to kiss me, then I can leave!”


    Alex pointed at his cheek, his face lit up with a bright smile.


    “Kiss you?” ra stammered, then affectionately rubbed his little nose, “You little pumkin, you’re full of


    surprises. Weren’t you the one acting all grown up yesterday. not wanting Mom’s kisses?”


    “No kisses allowed?”
