Chapter 125
Emmett reached out, wanting to touch Alex’s hair, but Alex instinctively tried to dodge.
Luckily, Elio quickly reacted, picking up Alex and plopping him into Emmett’s arms, then
squinting his eyes and giving a wry smile “Mr. Melendez, you just met your kid, it’s
bonding time, and I’m just a third wheel here, blocking your bonding time! Now that I’ve
handed the kid over to you, I’ll make myself scarcel If there’s anything else, give me a
ring”
Emmett held Alex in his arms, the soft little body stirring his emotions unfamiliarly
But on the outside, he kept his cool, nodding. ‘Mmm, I’ll have Clara come over later, and
then we’ll head back home as a family! I want to thank the Milburn family for their
hospitality, the Melendez family won’t forget your kindness.”

he had to. “Alex, I gotta bounce! This is your real dad, you guys should get along!”
“Mr. Milburn” Alex’s eyes were welling up
To prevent the situation from escalating, Elio quickly beat a retreat, even closing the door
behind him.
In the living room, only Alex and Emmett were left.
Their first time alone. Alex cautiously glanced at Emmett, curling his lip, “Why did you
bring me back? Don’t you already have a son?”
Emmett was taken aback, not expecting his son to ask such a serious question.
“No matter how many kids I have, you’re my son! Naturally, you come back to the
Melendez family.”
“Going back to the Melendez family sucks!” Alex remembered his previous visit to the
Melendez household. The food was great, but he was constantly studying and being
watched over.
It felt uncomfortable!
“Listening to you, it sounds like you’ve been to the Melendez house before?”
“Of course, I’ve been–Eh!” Alex blurted out, then realized he’d let the cat out of the bag.
Damn!
“You’ve been there?!” Emmett narrowed his eyes.
“I, I dreamed about it! Thankfully, Alex watched a lot of TV and was quick to think on his
feet. “I saw the Melendez family in the news and what their house looks like, and I knew
right away it wasn’t my cup of tea!”
“What can your mom give you? She probably can’t afford everything you want. At least
she can’t give you whatever you want whenever you want.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn his mind, that woman should be cash–strapped.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have done such a thing!
“But my mom gives me everything she can!”
Hearing this, Emmett’s resentment towards that woman lessened somewhat.
She seemed to put a lot of thought into raising their son!
Yes, she messed up and broke their agreement, but he decided not to dwell on it!
Seeing his son grow up healthy, intelligent, and witty, he naturally wouldn’t harbor too
much resentment toward a woman.
Just as Emmett was about to respond, his phone suddenly rang
He glanced down, it was a call from his mother.
“Emmett! Did you find that son of yours?”
“Mom, I found him. He’s right next to me, we’ll be home soon.”
“Oh, I can’t wait! Can we video call now? I want to see if he looks like Aiden!”
