Chapter 5
Alex was over the moon, “Really? You agreed just like that? Then my mom-”
Once Emmett heard that, his face tumed stem and he cut off Alex’s words, ‘You don’t have a mom. You only have me! Come home with me”
Alex was taken aback and hustled into the car. He headed back to the Melendez family mansion with Emmett.
“Aiden, you’re finally back!”
As soon as they got out of the car, the butler Henry spotted him and was so thrilled he was on the verge of tears
Ever since Aiden joined the Melendez family, it was Henry who watched him grow up, he treated Aiden as if he was his own child.
“Alden? My name’s not Aiden, it’s Alex!”
“Sweetie, you are Aiden, you’re our precious Melendez family member! Don’t be angry, and don’t run away from home anymore! Don’t be mad at your dad, he loves you!”
Run away from home?
Alex got more and more baffled as he listened, until his gaze landed on a photo hanging on the living room wall!
Wasn’t that him? But he didn’t own the clothes in the photo, and he didn’t remember taking that picture! Could it be… they all mistook him for someone else. Was this why they brought him here?
Alex’s eyes darted around and he pointed at the photo, “Um… is that me?”
“Of course it’s you!” Henry grabbed his small hand, “Who else could it be? Come, let’s go have some ice cream sundae and check out the full set of Transformers toys your grandparents got for you!”
Alex’s eyes lit up at that, “Ice cream sundae? A full set of Transformers? Are those mine?”
“There you go. Aiden. Finally a smile!” His usual quiet demeanor was just like Emmett’s. This sudden burst of energy was a pleasant surprise for Henry
Before they left, Alex stuck his tongue out at the Aiden in the photo, and mumbled, “I really want to play with the Transformers and eat ice cream sundae, so I’ll borrow your name. I am “Aiden” for now! You won’t mind, right?”
The next morning, as usual, Emmett finished his morning workout and was about to head to the office.
Normally, he would just leave, but today, he made a detour to his son’s room.
He quietly opened the door, and the little guy was still sleeping! His whole body was sprawled on the pillow. His sleeping position was a sight to see, yet it was so adorable it tugged at Emmett’s heartstrings!
He smiled slightly, closed the door behind him, turned around and said, “Matt, cancel the afternoon meeting. I’m taking him to the amusement park”
Matt was taken aback, but quickly nodded, “Yes, sir!”
Emmett and Matt got into the car and drove towards the office. On the way, Emmett routinely opened his laptop to check on some documents
Suddenly, a sudden brake made his laptop fall to the car floor!This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
Emmett frowned, about to say something, when suddenly there was frantic knocking on the car window. He looked over to see a woman with a bloody face appearing in his view!
“Help me, please!” Her voice sounded weak, and her body was swaying unsteadily.
Upon seeing this, Matt quickly said, “Sorry, sir. I’ll go shoo her away right now!”
“Hold on.” Emmett was staring at the girl outside the window. He was surprised because he didn’t feel the usual repulsion towards her
For many years, he lived alone, not because he was aloof, but because he had a condition. Whenever he saw a woman get close to him, he would uncontrollably want to escape, becoming agitated and even irrational.
But now, looking at the woman outside the window, he didn’t feel that way. It was like… like that woman back then, he didn’t feel disgusted but rather attracted, unable to resist her allure all night.
“Let her in”
