Chapter 19


    Alex snickered inwardly, thinking his big bro was cold as ice! But considering his personality, it wasn’t


    too surprising.


    “Mom, yesterday and today are different. I just miss you so much right now, I don’t wanna leave you,


    and mally want a kiss from you!”


    Alex leaned his head onto ra’s chest, nuzzling affectionately, showing how much he’d missed her


    these past few days. Being by his mom’s side felt so good….


    “Alright, alright, here’s your kiss!” ra kissed her son’s little face, and Alex enthusiastically returned


    the favor by cupping her face and giving her a kiss back. Watching her son walk into the kindergarten,


    ra felt today’s Alex was particrly sweet, just like…he had juste back!

    ra hadn’t been called in by Emmett all afternoon, but the workload his assistant dumped on her was


    mountainous. She was so busy she hadn’t even noticed it had started to rain heavily outside.


    As Emmett was about to leave the office, he noticed ra’s light was still on, so he went over to her


    door to check.


    “You’re still here?”


    A frosty voice sounded above her head, ra looked up to see Emmett with one hand in his pocket,


    his dark eyes staring at her.


    “I haven’t finished my work yet!”


    ra responded instinctively, then suddenly realized something and hurriedly checked the time on her


    phone. Her face filled with urgency, “Oh no!”


    She frowned, it was past the time for kindergarten to end, and she had forgotten to pick up Alex.


    Emmett stood at the doorway watching her expression change from calm to anxious. Just as he was


    about to ask what was going on, he saw ra quickly turn off herputer. She grabbed the folders


    on her desk and rushed to the door, ‘Mr. Melendez, I’m runningte. I need to pick up my son. I’ll finish


    the rest of the work at


    home.”


    Just as she finished speaking, she nodded at Emmett and dashed out.


    “Wait!” Emmett grabbed her arm, ra looked startled, she turned around only to hear Emmett say in a


    deep voice, “It’s raining outside, I’ll give you a lift”


    “No need, I can….


    “It’s pouring outside! Get in the car!”


    Emmett cut her off, his eyes swept over her and saw her white dress and high heels, with no umbre.


    If she went out now, she would definitely get wet, and it could bete by the time she picked up her


    child.


    ra looked at her clothes and the heavy rain outside… if she didn’t go now, Alex would definitely be


    worried


    She hesitated for a moment, pursed her lips and said, “Well, then… if it’s not too much trouble, Mr.


    Melendez.”


    Having the CEO personally drive her made her feel a bit awkward.


    “Let’s go.”


    Emmett didn’t say anything, he just walked over to her side, apanied her to the CEO’s private


    elevator, and then opened the door to get in. The elevator was spacious, but the atmosphere became a


    bit weird when the two of them stood side by side.


    Emmett’s tall figure stood straight. His face was expressionless and silent, making ra feel like the air


    was suffocating. She wanted to break the ice, but couldn’t think of anything to say


    Suddenly, there was a squeaky noise in the elevator, and the lights dimmed.


    “Aah!”
