“You really have no shame, woman! I’m hanging up now, don’t disturb my sleep with stuff
like this again!
After the call ended, Clara looked towards Alex’s room, her eyes filled with tears.
She and Alex were about to part ways Alex had never left her side in all these years Now,
they were to be separated, and it was unbearable for her
But the reality was something she could not change.
To keep Alex from being taken away, this was the only path she could take.
The next morning. Clara got up and made breakfast for Alex. It was when the breakfast
was served that Alex gol up
“Mama wow, today’s breakfast is really fancy!”
“I’m glad you like it, Clara smiled, “You don’t have to go to school today.”
Alex was surprised, “Why mama? is the kindergarten closed today?”

“Is it Mr Milburn?”
Clara nodded, “Yes. You need to behave yourself when you’re there. Don’t cause him any
trouble, okay?”
“Can I refuse?” Alex didn’t accept the invitation right away. “I want to stay here with you!
If I go to Mr. Milburn’s, I won’t see you for a long time!”
Clara bent down to meet Alex’s gaze
“Good boy, there’s some issue with mama right now and I can’t take care of you properly!
You go to Mr. Milburn’s first. Mama promises to come get you soon, okay?”
“Will you be lonely without me around, mama?”
“Of course I’ll be lonely! That’s why I promise to come get you soon!”
Alex said, “But I don’t want to leave you, mama.
Hearing this, Clara could no longer hold back her tears.
She hugged her son tightly, saying
“I’m sorry Alex, it’s mama’s fault… I can’t solve the problem, so I have to part with you for
now! Can you forgive mama?”
“Mama, don’t cry!” Alex hurriedly wiped Clara’s tears, “I love going to Mr. Milburn’s. I
won’t miss mama at all! Mama, don’t cry! Mr. Milburn is very nice to me and buys me toys.
So, mama, don’t worry!”
The usually naughty Alex suddenly became well–behaved and understanding, making
Clara feel even more guilty.
She would rather have him throw a tantrum right now, maybe that would make her feel a
little better.
“Mama, does Mr. Milburn like you?”
The topic suddenly changed, and Clara was caught off guard.
“I think Mr. Milburn is so nice to me because he likes you, mama! Right?”

“In my eyes, you’re a fairy, the most beautiful person in the world!”
“You’re so sweet!”
Only after arranging everything for Alex did Clara go to work
She had planned to take a leave, but today was the day she was supposed to register her
marriage with Emmett, and she couldn’t back out!
She was also worried that Emmett would suspect something at this time.
Once Clara arrived at the office, Emmett called her into his office.
“Mr. Melendez.”
“You were late today” Emmett looked at her and said, “You’re usually never late.”
“There was a bit of traffic today!”
“The roads were clear today, there was no traffic.”
Clara pursed her lips, but before she could say anything, Emmett slammed his hand on
the desk.
“Clara‘ How long do you plan on keeping this from me?!”
