Chapter 70

Aiden knew full well that the Melendez family had a lot of pull. The other kids at school

wouldn’t dare to cross them.

“Oh, honey, don’t you worry, Mommy will never leave you again! I’ll find a way to take you

away from the Melendez family”

“So… I can live with Alex then?”

“Absolutely! We’ll leave together and be together always.”

Hope sparkled in Aiden’s eyes but soon enough, he looked somewhat downcast

“What about.. Grandma and Grandpa? They won’t be able to see me anymore, right?”

“Mom, I can’t bear to leave them. If they find me gone, they’ll be so sad! I think I should

stay”

Clara gently stroked her son’s hair, saying softly, “Aiden, you’re such a good boy, it warms

Mommy’s heart! Don’t worry, Mommy will respect your decision! I can still see you in the

future!”

As long as Emmett didn’t find out, everything can still go on.

Upstairs, in the study.

After Emmett started a video conference, Ricardo called him out of the blue.

“Mr Melendez, we found the doctor who was there when Aiden was born!”

“Where is she?”

“Can she call you later?”

“Sure”

Not long after hanging up, Emmett’s phone rang.

Frowning deeply, he answered, “Hello, this is Emmett.”

“Mr Melendez! I’m Jessica, the one who supposedly delivered your son. L.I’m guilty, I’ve

wronged you! Please forgive me!”

“What do you mean?”

“My son was sick that year, so I didn’t go. In the end, our dean found a replacement! I

didn’t personally deliver your son! So…I don’t know what happened!”

“…You found a replacement?”

“Yes! I’m sorry Mr Melendez, my son was really sick, I had no choice but to-

Emmett cut her off, “I need to know, who replaced you”

“I think it was our dean’s son, named…Elio!”

After Clara and Aiden finished their snacks, she read to him.

At noon, Aiden’s internal clock reminded him it was nap time.

This was Clara’s first time putting Aiden to bed, she savored this mother–son moment.

She remembered when Alex was little, he was difficult to put to sleep. The second she left

his side, he’d wake up!

So when Alex was just born, she held him every second of every day, even when eating.

Back then Aiden was just born, who… who was he depending on then?

Thinking about this, tears involuntarily slid down Clara’s face.

A drop landed on Aiden’s band.

He sleepily opened his eyes, “Mom, what’s wrong?”

Clara quickly wiped her tears. “Nothing, nothing!”

“Can Mom sleep with me?” Aiden shuffled over, “I’d like to sleep with Mom.”

Clara nodded vigorously, lying down next to Aiden, one arm wrapped around his little

body.

In this moment

She felt her life was more than fulfilled!

The dream she’d held onto for so many years was finally within reach!

Aiden curled up in Clara’s arms, grinning, “Mom, your embrace is so warm”

“Then Mom will put you to bed every night, okay?”

“Uh huh! Okay!”

“Alright, go to sleep now! Mom will be right here. Clara gently stroked his hair, softly

starting to sing a lullaby.
