Chapter 69


    ra was still busy making desserts when Sophia Melendez showed up with Aiden.


    Seeing Alden, ra quickly wiped her hands and came out, greeting him with a gentle smile, “Aiden, I


    made some yummy stuff. Come taste it. Aiden nced at Sophia, who gave a slight nod, and he went


    over to ra.


    The two of them went into the kitchen together. Watching their backs, Sophia sighed, “ra really


    seems to have a thing for Aiden. I can’t tell if she’s genuine or just putting on a show.”


    Emmett raised an eyebrow, “She can’t act for nuts.”


    “That’s good then! After all, you found her, so I can only trust your judgment.” Sop chuckled, “I don’t


    have many wishes in my life. I just hope Aiden can grow up safe and sound. After all, he’s grown up


    with me. Even if you have more kidster, I might not love them as much as I do him.”


    “You already have Aiden and you still want me to have more kids?” Emmett frowned.


    Sophia pointed at the kitchen with her chin, “Aren’t you and ra nning to have a kid? How long can


    your marriagest if you don’t even have a kid?”


    “The point of marriage isn’t to keep it going as long as possible! You wouldn’t understand, so don’t butt


    in


    “Alright, alright, I won’t meddle! I brought Aiden over, so I’ll head back now. Your dad’s not feeling well


    today, I need to apany him to the hospital”


    Emmett nodded, “Do you need me to send someone with you?”


    *No need. I don’t think it’s anything serious. Your dad’s getting old, his health isn’t what it used to be.


    Now that you’re married, he can rest easy. Your dad and I can enjoy our twilight years.


    Emmett frowned, “I’ll drive you.”


    “No, that’s not necessary. Better keep an eye on the kitchen. I’m…I’m still worried ra might do


    something to Aiden. After all, she’s his stepmother”


    “ra won’t…”


    “Better safe than sorry! You go check, don’t worry about me.”


    Sophia shoved Emmett back towards the kitchen before leaving with ease..


    Emmett, helpless, walked into the kitchen and saw the two of them happily chatting..


    He had never seen Aidenugh so happily before.


    When Aiden noticed Emmett, his smile vanished instantly and he stood there, expressionless.


    ra was taken aback, instinctively pulling Aiden behind her, “Mr Melendez, would you like to taste


    some?”


    ‘No, you guys seem to be having fun. I’ll get back to work, you stay with Aiden.”


    “Alright,” ra nodded.


    Emmett looked at his son, asking, “Do you like her as your mom?”


    Aiden stared at Emmett for a while before nodding slowly, “Hmm.”


    “Good, you guys have fun here, I’ll get back to work.”


    Emmett turned around and left while ra watched his retreating figure until he was out of sight. Then


    she turned to Aiden and asked cautiously, “Are you scared of your father? You seem reluctant to talk


    every time you see him.”


    “I don’t like him.” Aiden lowered his head, “He never really seems to consider me as his son.”


    “…Emmett doesn’t like you?”


    Then why did he insist on having a child with me?

    “I’m not sure if he likes me, but he rarely has time to be with me. I only see him a few times a year. I


    spend most of my time with grandma.”


    ra’s heart ached. She bent down and hugged her son, “It’s all my fault! It’s all my responsibility! I’m


    sorry for making you grow up in such an


    environment”


    “Mom, you don’t need to me everything on yourself, I know you’re scared of dad too.”
