Chapter 16
“Hey kiddo, the boss told ya, you can’t just waltz out of this door yourself, come on back
with me…..”
Just as Alex was about to take a stride out of the door, the servant who’d just gone off for
some snacks had already grabbed his hand.
“I can’t stand being here anymore.” Alex shook off the servant’s hand, his eyes full of
rebelliousness.
“Oh boy, you can’t go on talking like that. Your old man would blow his top if he knew!”
“Hmph, he’s a lousy dad! Always bossing me around and won’t even hang out with me!”
Alex crossed his arms in discontent, snorted and then stubbornly headed back into the
house. These servants couldn’t possibly keep an eye on him all the timel
At night, in the darkness, the small figure on the bed squirmed restlessly. He slipped out

to give it another shot, he quietly opened the door and snuck out….
Meanwhile, at Clara’s apartment.
Clara closed the storybook and planted a loving kiss on Aiden’s forehead.
“Goodnight.”
Watching the child asleep on the bed, a content smile spread across Clara’s face. Thinking
about how she worked tirelessly for him every day and how she was greeted with his
smiling face when she came home, she felt truly blessed.
Softly closing the bedroom door, Clara stretched her arms, there was still a lot of work to
be done.
“Go get ‘em!”
Clara mustered up her courage and pushed open the door to her study, flicking on her
computer.
“Emmett…”
As she was sorting out Emmett’s schedule, his name unconsciously slipped out of her
mouth. Clara furrowed her brows, why did Emmett’s face seem so familiar?
“Alex?”
No, no, no. She quickly shook her head to dispel the absurd thought that had entered her
mind.
Her son couldn’t possibly resemble that cold–hearted big shot. Alex was clearly a lively
kid! Besides, Emmett’s personality was nothing like Alex’s, there was no way they could
be related! What was wrong with her recently? Why did she keep thinking about Emmett!
Hearing the sound of typing from the study, Aiden, who was just put to sleep, slowly
opened his eyes and sat up on the bed. His big brown eyes darted around in the darkness,

“Mom, I’m sorry, I have to go….
His small figure slowly made its way to the study door, whispering softly where Clara
couldn’t see.
Aiden was really reluctant to leave Clara, but he felt that he had been eating too much
greasy food recently, and his grandmother must have been really worried about him!
There had to be a limit to being willful, and he thought it was time to go home. Even if he
was mad at his father, he still had his grandparents! They must have been worried! He
was being too willful and selfish.
Clara was completely engrossed in her work, oblivious to the child at the door and the
sound of the door opening. She just sneezed, rubbed her nose and continued working.
Aiden took out his savings, hailed a cab and arrived at the entrance of the Melendez
family mansion. Just as he was about to walk in, he heard a slight noise from the side and
instinctively looked over it was a kid who looked exactly like him!
The two kids stared at each other, both taken aback.
