Chapter 96
“Alright, Clara, you’re definitely not like other women.”
Clara didn’t like his tone, it recked of sarcasm.
Did he find out something?
“Mr. Melendez, you seem a bit ticked off.”
“I’m not ticked off, I’m good”
“Well, my bad then. You can find a new secretary to replace me as soon as you can.” Clara
paused slightly, then added, “I’m really sorry”
“You’re planning on ditching the country even if we’re getting a divorce, aren’t you? From
what you’re saying, it doesn’t sound like you plan on seeing me again”
How could she forget about that?

something out and tried to lure her back?!
Clara responded quickly, “Once I wrap things up here, I’ll go back home. Sorry, I have
some stuff to take care of, and I have to hang up now”
With that, she hung up the phone quickly, clutching her heart, which felt like it was about
to leap out of her chest.
She had a bad feeling in her gut, but she didn’t know why.
In the game room, Alex was still sobbing
It was rare for him to do so, but this time he was determined to have his mom marry Mr.
Milburn.
Aside from Mr. Milburn being a great guy, there was another reason.
He didn’t want to share his mom with Aiden.
If they followed the original plan to set Mom up with Emmett, then his mom would become
Aiden’s mom too. And the idea of having an extra Dad named Emmett didn’t appeal to
him either
“Alex, time to eat. I’m taking you for pizza today, the kind with lots of cheese, sound
good?” Elio walked in with a grin, picking him up from the small chair
Alex pouted, “I do want pizza, but I also want you to be my Dad!”
“Sweetie, we’ve already talked about this, right? We need to let your mom warm up to me
gradually. If we rush things, she might reject me. We still have lots of time, no need to
rush. With a hunk like me, your mom will definitely fall for me in the end.”
“Really?” Alex blinked, clearly skeptical. “Mom seems to have no intention of being with
you.”
“That’s a real burn!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlex grabbed Elio’s hand, “Mr. Milburn, why don’t you guys just get married? Right now, I
don’t want to do anything else but become a family with you. I can be with you every day,
and when we’re out, I can proudly say you’re my Dad!”
‘Darling, I’m just respecting your mom.”
“But… I really want a dad… Alex lowered his head, his eyes still red. “I even betrayed
Aiden who I like. I just want to have my own mom and dad!”
“Don’t worry; I promise I’ll win your mom over!” Elio extended his hand, “Deal?”
Alex’s eyes immediately lit up, “Really? Mr. Milbum, are you sure you can win Mom over?”
“Of course! It just needs a bit of time!”
“Okay! It’s a deal then, whoever lies is a big fat liar!”
Elio sighed, “Alright, alright, whoever lies is a big fat liar! But I have a condition!”
