Chapter 92


    ra gave him a straight look and seriously said, “Ello, you’re not getting any younger, you know? It’s


    time to get yourself a girlfriend. It’s not good the way you’re always alone, changing your women like


    you change your socks!”


    1 want a girlfriend, but no one’s giving me the chance. What can I do? My parents are breathing down


    my neck about it too, it’s got me so worked up that I’ve got mouth ulcers! Look!” Elio leaned in toward


    ra on purpose


    ra darted away like a startled bird, ‘Ello! Cut it out. Alex is inside!”


    “Alright, alright, I’ll stop, okay?” Elio pouted, “I’ve done so much for you but I can’t even win your heart.


    Fine, I get it. But as your friend, I don’t even know who your Mr. Right is. I don’t even know who I’m up


    against.”


    ra gave him an annoyed look. “You will never let this topic go, will you?”


    As soon as her words dropped, Alex limped out of the game room.


    Alex grinned when he saw his mother with Mr. Milburn, “Mum, why don’t you and Mr. Milburn make it


    official? I really like Mr. Milburn, I want him to be my dad!”


    ra looked at him, helplessly squatting down to eye level with her son, “Alex, you can’t just say these


    things! It’s not something a child should say, got it?”


    “Can I say I want a dad then?”


    “Alex…”


    Alex made a pouty face, his mood visibly dropping, “What’s wrong with wanting a dad? All the other


    kids have dads, why don’t I? Mr. Milburn is so nice to me but you won’t let him be my dad, you want


    him to give me a little brother or sister instead! Mum, do you even love me?”


    ra was taken aback by Alex’s words.


    seemed like Elio was really good to him, and he really wanted Elio to be his dad, but she couldn’t be


    selfish.

    Right now, she and Alex were just a burden!


    *Alex, your mom definitely loves you.” Elio quickly interjected, fearing ra would get upset, “But the


    things between us adults areplicated; it’s not as simple as you think.”


    “What’s soplicated? I want Mr. Milburn to be my dad, and Mr. Milburn wants to be my dad too; isn’t


    that perfect?”


    ra’s eyes started to well up as she hugged her son, “Alex, I’m sorry.”


    “Hey, you two, don’t be like this!” Elio was feeling uneasy, “Alex, if you want me to be your dad, I can be


    your dad! You can call me dad and I’ll still treat you the


    same!”


    “You can’t lie to me anymore. It’s not the same at all! You can only be my real dad if you marry my


    mom, then we can be a real family, living together in the same house!” Alex looked at ra seriously,


    “Mum, I want to live with Mr. Milburn. I want to see him every day. Can he y with me every day, can


    he?”


    ra closed her eyes. “Alex, let Mom finish!”


    “I don’t want to listen!” Alex stubbornly covered his ears, “I don’t want to listen! I just want Mr. Milburn to


    be my dad“”


    With that, he burst into tears, something that Alex rarely did.


    Even when he was scolded for being naughty, he’d never cried this hard.


    Seeing her son like this, ra’s heart ached! She knew she couldn’t keep lying to him, because he was


    starting to need a father’s love, something a mother’s love couldn’t fully rece.


    “ra, you should agree with him!” Elio shot ra a look, “Look at how sad he is!”


    ra just kept her lips tightly sealed, not saying a word.


    “Don’t overthink it. I know you’re worried for me but I’m not scared of what others will think! I’ve never


    cared about that.” Elio took a deep breath, reaching out to grasp ra’s wrist, “Be with me! You can try


    to ept me first”
