Chapter 27


    “1 bear a striking resemnce to you, therefore I undoubtedly must be your legitimate offspring!


    Moreover, my grandmother showers me with excessive affection, thus negating any possibility of me


    being adopted! But why am I unable to reside with my mother?” Aiden lowered his head in


    contemtion “All my schoolmates have mothers, so why do I not?”


    “Your mother has passed away”


    “No way!”


    Emmett suddenly turned his gaze towards him, furrowing his brows “How can you be so sure? Have


    you seen her?”


    “No, I have not its just that i don’t believe she is deceased, I suspect you’re lying to me


    “When you mature you shall naturallye to know the truth! Now, hasten to bed! Otherwise, you can


    forget about visiting the amusement park this weekend”


    With that, Emmett turned and left, his departing figure appearing somewhat flustered


    The following moming, ra apanied Alex to the nursery, then proceeded to take a taxi to her


    workce.


    Upon entering the premises, she initially intended to greet the receptionist, but her attention was drawn


    to two individuals engaged in hushed conversation nearby


    It was not her intention to eavesdrop, but the volume of their voices was simply too conspicuous


    “This is the sole woman in the CEO’s vicinity, Isn’t it?”


    “Yes, indeed She appears rather ordinary. How could the CEO allow her to remain by his side?”


    “Perhaps she possesses some means to captivate the CEO’s favor


    ra sighed helplessly.


    What tricks could she have? It was Emmett who asked her to be his personal secretary!


    ra walked straight past them and took the elevator.


    Just as she got to the boss’s office a pair of ck leather shoes appeared in front of her.


    ra was startled and locked up-


    The man in front of her somewhat resembled Emmett, but he was clearly much older!


    This must be his father


    “Hello” ra quickly bowed her head


    Patrick nodded slightly, “Are you ra?”


    “Yes, I am ra”


    “Come to the lounge with me” After saying this, Patrick walked ahead


    ra hesitated for a moment, but had no choice but to follow


    If he tries anything, she’ll just scream!


    Once they entered the lounge Patrick poured himself a cup of water and then gave ra a once–over

    “You don’t need to be so nervous, I called you here because I have something to tell you”


    “Go ahead!”


    “My son has always disliked contact with women, he keeps his distance from all females, even his own

    “You are not ordinary Patrick cleared his throat and spoke solemnly “Let’s not beat around the bush. I


    assume you haven’t been married, correct?”


    No. I haven’t”


    “Then many my son!”


    Ah?


    ra could barely resist the urge to cover her ears, thinking she must have misheard!


    “You don’t have to be so surprised. I said, marry Emmett, my son!”
