Chapter 271


    “What? Ricardo’s got a girlfriend?”


    “Set up by his family.” Emmett Melendez said after he fired up the car and drove off.


    At the mention of Ricardo, ra Calloway was evidently concerned.


    “Ricardo’s a catch. Why would he need to go on a blind date?”


    Emmett nced at her, “You think Ricardo’s a catch?”


    ra finally got it, “Oh my god! You’re so touchy! When I said Ricardo’s not bad, I was just being


    objective. Can you stop twisting my words? What could possibly happen between me and Ricardo?”


    “But you never know! Maybe I should get a female assistant to watch you.”


    “Emmett!”


    “I’m just pulling your leg.”

    ra made a face, “That’s not funny at all! You seem to have zero trust in me like I would cheat with


    any man! Do I have zero credibility in your eyes?”


    “Except for Elio Milburn and Taylor Atwood, I trust you with other men.”


    “I have nothing with them…”


    “Dare you to say you never had the hots for Taylor?”


    ra blinked and didn’t answer.


    She didn’t want to lie or deny her past feelings for Taylor.”


    It was real!


    “ra! What’s with the silent treatment?”


    “I just don’t want to talk about the past! What’s done is done. Why dig up the past?”


    “… You always have excuses, even more than men!”


    Emmett stepped on the gas and quickly arrived at the Melendez family home.


    The car carrying Alex and Aiden also arrived as they exited the car.


    The two lively kids jumped out of the car and ran towards ra.


    “Mommy! I missed you so much!” Alex was always being affectionate.


    Aiden looked somewhat speechless, “Alex, you’re acting like a girl.”


    The girls in his ss always had the words miss you, love you on the tips of their tongues!


    “I’m just being honest! I really missed you!” Alex stuck out his tongue.


    “Hmph! Well, I missed Daddy.” Aiden ran to Emmett, and Emmett bent down to pick him up.


    ra sighed, “Aiden, don’t mind Alex. He’s always like this!”


    “I won’t stoop to his level!”


    “Good boy!”


    Alex didn’t care about what others thought of him, and he justughed, “Mommy, I want candy!”


    “Why do you want candy again?”


    “I behaved well at school today! Can you reward me with a piece?”


    ra frowned, “No! I know you too well! You must have eaten a lot at school, don’t think I don’t know.”


    Before Alex could respond, Sophia Melendez popped out from nowhere.


    She yanked Alex away, ring at ra, “He just wanted a piece of candy, and you scold him! What


    kind of mother are you?”


    Emmett immediately frowned, “Mom! Too much candy will give Alex a toothache!”


    “So what? Can’t you talk to him nicely? Do you have to get angry? What if your actions cause


    psychological harm to my grandson? Who’s going to be responsible?”


    “Granny! Stop ming Mom; I won’t eat it!” Alex quickly said, realizing the trouble he caused.


    Sophia held Alex tightly, sneering at ra, “Look at that! A child is more sensible than you! My


    grandson is so good to you, and you’re


    still unsatisfied! And you, as their biological father, are just chasing novelty!”
