Her embrace was warm, tight, and intense.

Was this what it felt like to be held by a mother?–

Clara held Alex for a moment, feeling his body stiffen in her arms.

She let go, looking at the child before her

There was no mistaking it. That was Alex’s face

But…

“Alex, where did you get this outfit?” she asked, noticing his change of clothes. She

remembered dressing him in white shorts and a tee in the morning How did it turn into a

black tee?

“…” Aiden started, hesitated for a few seconds, and then said, “I like this outfit, and I

swapped with some other kids.”

“So you like black clothes! I’ve been so busy with work, I didn’t notice your preferences.

I’m sorry, can you forgive me?” Clara squatted down, looking at her son sincerely, “I

promise, I’ll take you to the amusement park every week and spend more time playing

with you.”

Aiden nodded somewhat woodenly. To him, maternal love was foreign, yet fascinating.

He… wanted to experience this feeling. As for the cold father from the Melendez family, he

hoped to never see him again.

“Come with me, I’ll take you to Burger King! How about it?” Clara squeezed her son’s hand

tightly, wanting to give him everything.

“Burgers are junk food” Aiden frowned, his expression somewhat resembling Emmett’s.

“It’s okay! Haven’t you always wanted to try it? I’ll take you to stuff your face! I just got a

job today, let’s go celebrate”

“..Okay” Aiden didn’t dare to say much. He was afraid of being recognized, he wanted to

enjoy life with a mother more.

At the Melendez mansion, Sophia had a heart attack and was rushed to the hospital.

Emmett silently sat in the hospital room, his lips pressed into a thin line.

“Emmett, you need to reflect on yourself! You’ve been too harsh on Aiden! Why else would

he run away from home? Emmett’s father, Patrick Melendez, reprimanded, “Even though it

was your mother and I who decided to bring Aiden into this world, he is still your son!”

“Weren’t you always the ones making decisions about disciplining him?”

“We’re old. How much longer can we manage him! Aiden needs to rely on you in the

future!”

Emmett was about to speak when Matt knocked on the door and walked in.

“Gentlemen! We just got word from the amusement park, they found Aiden!”

Hearing this, Emmett stood up, his tall figure casting a shadow on the hospital bed.

“TI bring him back.”

“Good, you two need to bond! I’ll be here taking care of your mother.”

“Alright.”

Emmett left the room, went downstairs, and got into the car His face expressionless

Matt glanced at his employer through the rearview mirror, said nothing, and kept driving

towards the amusement park.

The drive took about ten minutes. As soon as they arrived, Emmett opened the car door,

and before he could say anything, a small figure rushed into his arms.

“I finally found you! Your name is Em something, right?”

Alex was as excited as if he’d discovered a treasure. He didn’t expect to actually meet this

handsome man!

Emmett stared at the child in front of him, his eyebrows furrowed

“It’s Emmett, not Em something! And, did you come here looking for me?”

“Yes“” Alex shoved his tiny hand into Emmett’s, squinting his eyes with a grin, “I want a

good dad, who can play with me, and take me to eat yummy food. Will you be him?”

To be a good dad…

Emmett was moved by these words. Indeed, he had to admit that over the years, he

hadn’t given his son enough love, even… Emmett looked at the tender little hand in his.

This was the first real contact as father and son!

“Alright, I promise you. I’ll try my best to be a good dad” He bent down and picked up his

son.

It was time for him to step up and be a good father!
