Chapter 138


    *Stop overthinking it, dude! Being with the Melendez family isn’t so bad, you know. Emmett, he’ll treat


    you well! He’s really trying to change his


    ways.”


    Even though he didn’t be all fluffy and nice overnight, Aiden could feel a shift in him.


    Emmett would never have shared a bed with him or called him in private before.


    “Yeah.” Alex nodded, “I got it, I’ll follow your lead from now on.”


    He stepped forward, grabbing Aiden’s hand, “Stop being mad at me, okay? I know I messed up. I


    shouldn’t have changed our nsst minute!”


    “Jeez!” Aiden sighed. “Any decisions you make, just let me know! We can discuss it, I won’t force you


    to do what I say, but it’s always better than you making decisions alone!*


    Alex nodded repeatedly, grinning, “Gotcha! I’ll tell you everything from now on!”


    “Alright then, let’s not bring up the past. It’s bedtime; you should get some sleep. I’ll head out.” Aiden


    was about to leave when Alex suddenly grabbed his hand.


    “Bro‘”


    “Hmm? What’s up?”


    “L… I’m scared…” Alex pouted, with tears welling in his eyes, “I’m afraid to sleep alone. What if


    monsterse and eat me?”


    Aiden was taken aback but quickly tried to wipe away his tears, “Hey, hey, don’t cry! There are no


    monsters here!”


    “There are! Mom said monsters wille in through the window if I don’t go to bed by ten! It’s almost


    ten!”


    Alex clung to Aiden’s shirt. “Don’t leave. Or I could go to your room! I can sleep on the floor! If a


    monsteres, you can chase it away!”


    Aiden sighed, “If there were monsters, neither of us would stand a chance!”

    “What?! Then what do we do? Let’s go find mom!” Alex was about to open the door.


    Aiden quickly grabbed him, “Dad and mom are together, you’ll disturb them!”


    “What do we do then? Let’s run away!”


    “Alright, you can sleep in my room. It’s close to grandma and grandpa’s; they cane over quickly if


    anything happens.”


    “Okay, okay!” Alex was eager to get going.


    Aiden didn’t know what to do with his little brother, but what else could he do but indulge him?


    Back in the master bedroom, ra bathed and sat at the desk reviewing thepany’s recent reports.


    After his video meeting, Emmett walked in to see her engrossed in the paperwork; her brow furrowed in


    concentration.


    “I thought I told you Ricardo is handling these things for now. You don’t have to rush back to work.”


    “Am I supposed never to work again?”


    “As a CEO’s wife, you can do as you please.” Emmett sat on the bed, removing his shirt to reveal his


    muscr chest.


    At the sight, ra blushed and quickly turned away, “Can you change in the bathroom?”


    “It’s too hot; I wasn’t nning on wearing a shirt.” Emmett smirked, “It’s just you and me here. Should I


    take off my pants too?”


    Hearing this, ra immediately stood up from the chair, “No! L… I’m not ready for that!”
