Chapter 118


    “Are you nning on dragging Elto into everything? If you don’t trust me, we can-


    “ra, if you dare utter that word, I’ll make you regret it!”


    Emmett bellowed, scaring ra into swallowing her words


    “Listen here, don’t even think about divorce in this lifetime, I, Emmett, don’t do divorce.” He added,


    “Even if I kick the bucket, you ain’t marrying anyone else!” ra frowned and thought. “I can’t control


    whether I live or die, can I? Doesn’t one person always die first? So, he’s implying he’ll be the first to


    go,


    right?


    ra thought, wanting to p herself for her thoughtlessness.


    Now’s not the time to be thinking about irrelevant stuff!


    “Take the money, whatever I say is yours is yours.” Emmett nced at her, murmuring, “You can even


    leave it to your son, I don’t care.”


    “ra was stunned.


    She never thought he’d agree to me leaving the property to the kid, even when he’s unsure if it’s his!


    “My son, he! He’s too young‘; I won’t give it to him.” She didn’t even want it herself.


    Because maybe one day, Emmett d kick her out!


    “Do whatever, give it to whoever you want.”


    “What about giving it to you?”


    Emmett red at her instantly.


    “Never mind what I said.” ra shrugged and immediately corrected herself.


    In the fast–food joint, Leah Calloway dressed in a white dress, seemed out of ce.


    “Why would you bring a kid to eat this?‘ Leah wrinkled her nose, “This food is unhealthy”


    Even she, who was not a mom, knew this!


    Elio replied helplessly, “Alex likes it.”


    Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    “Alex, sweetie, you can’t eat this stuff too much, it’s not good for you. Don’t you want to grow tall?


    Being tall will help you with basketball and getting girlfriends in the future!”


    Hearing Leah Calloway refer to herself as Alex’s mom, Alex and even Elio felt ufortable.


    “You don’t have to switch gears that fast, do you?”


    “We’re running out of time; if I don’t start now, it’ll be toote when the secret’s out,” Leah raised an


    eyebrow before turning to Alex, “My good boy, from now on, call me mom! Just call me mom to avoid


    any confusion with your real mom!”


    Alex looked at Elio, who nodded after a moment’s hesitation.


    “Right, Alex, this is for your good and your mom’s! Thisdy is pretending to be your mom to protect


    you and your real mom!”


    Alex immediately nodded, smiling at Elio, “Sure! Whatever Mr. Milburn says, I’ll follow!”


    “Good boy, now eat up”


    Leah looked at him and said, “Alex seems to like you!”


    “Yeah, probably because I spoil him.”


    “No wonder you can’t win ra’s heart.” Leah pretended to look helpless and shrugged, “You can’t


    teach kids like this! Alex is still young, eating junk food will affect his growth”


    “Right” Elioughed embarrassedly, “I’m a sucker for kids; I can’t say no to them! So whatever they


    want, I get it! But you, you’re acting more like a real mom! Once all this is over, you should get married.


    You’d make a great mom.”


    Leah smiled, her eyes revealing a cunning glint.
