The butler was puzzled.“ sir, don't you think it's an injustice for someone with great qualities like a young master to match up with a single mother who has a child?”.
With a sarcastic tone, Howard said. “In that case, why don't you go ahead and look for a young lady with the right family. All the young ladies nowadays are spoiled by their families;It wasn't busy at the restaurant, so the waiter had arranged a spacious seat for Chloe– who knew it would come in handy at this moment. Realizing that Aiden had no intention of leaving, Kelvin sat down with a grumbled look that Chloe found to be quite amusing. Even the president of Clifford Cooperation has a soft spot. Audrey wanted Kelvin to be here, so she pulled out a chair enthusiastically.“ why don't you sit first?, Mr. Kelvin? I will go and get some fruit”. As she was about to leave, she looked at Aiden and invited him earnestly.“Do you want to come with me? Aiden took Audrey's cheerful and pleasing manner; he hesitated for a while before letting go of Chloe's hand and followed Audrey. 'I want to get along with Ms. Chloe's daughter'. Meanwhile, Kelvin was amazed. 'Aiden is willing to get along with this little girl?' Kelvin knew that his son had alway
“Aiden! Do you want to have a mommy?”. Kelvin asked glaring at the drawing board in his hands. His expression froze for a moment upon seeing the image on the drawing board. “Do you want to have a mommy Aiden? He asked again belatedly. Aiden nodded his head furiously in response to this. His cheeks were flushed as he forcefully croaked two-syllable words. “Mommy”. Kelvin felt his jaw hanging loose in the air, and his eyes widening the moment he heard Aiden's words. Although he had always been a calm and calculating man, Kelvin's voice was trembling with shock when he spoke. “ You've said something, Aiden!” Aiden had gone mute even since his high fever three years ago, and this was the first time anyone heard his voice in such a long time. The young child gazed at Kelvin hopefully right then, his finger curled tightly around his drawing board. It took Kelvin a while for him to contain his
Ariana Blake flashed Aiden a gentle smile, but that smile was the same as the ones that appeared in the countless childhood memories and nightmares that Aiden had. “Come here–give me your hand”. Ariana reached her pale hand out and took his. She had skinny fingers, pink nail polish, and a diamond ring that glittered at certain angles. The sharp reflection of the light against the diamond shot directly into Aiden's eyes; it seemed like a warning that everything was about to happen. The young boy held his shaky hand out, and Ariana grabbed onto him tightly before she led him out of the room. “Maybe, he's afraid you won't have the time to play with him anymore once we got married”, Ariana said pitifully as she brought Aiden over to Kelvin. “I told him that I'd stop acting in many films; I'd take care of him and bring him to theme parks with you. He calmed down after that ”. Her gaze was kind and warm as sh
“You, Miss Chloe Crowther, are sincerely invited to witness the anniversary party of Mr. Gabriel Remas, and his beloved wife And Mrs. Madison Remas ” The neat, handwritten calligraphy stood out on the piece of paper, and there were animated pictures of the couple printed inside of the invite. Chloe's face darkened as she held onto the edge of the party's invitation. ' Come to think of this, I should have seen this coming when I bumped into them in the elevator back then– I saw that ring; the one that used to hold such special meaning for me –on Maddie's finger, didn't I? I'm just surprised that they sent me an invite. Chloe slumped onto the couch as her lips curled in a faint, bitter, and self-defeating smile. She still felt a sore ache in her chest whenever she thought of the incident of that night. The incident that occurred five years ago ruined everything that she had ever wanted. Because of this, she lost her love, her father's love and support, and even her home. She was hu
“Who is Audrey Crowther? ” Ariana couldn't stop herself from asking as her gaze fixed on the documents. Kelvin glanced at her and answered calmly. “She's the daughter of an employee ". “Why are you looking at the medical history of an employee's daughter? Who is this employee of yours? She asked with a constricted but gentle gaze. Kelvin finally placed his hand over the medical records as he spoke with a sharp edge of his tone. “Do I have to report everything to you?” “No!, no. That's not what I intended to say; I was just curious ” she said as her face fell a little. “Well, you are asking too many questions. I still have other things to handle, and we're only meeting grandfather during the dinner hour. If you have nothing doing you can head over there yourself, I will be there on time”. This time, he was giving her a direct order. Ariana bites her lips as she quickly regretted asking too many questions earlier, but she knew that the situation couldn't any longer be cajoled in her

“Mr. Kelvin is handsome and rich; he is the man of every girl's dreams. I'd be able to enjoy the rest of my life without worries if you get married to him, mommy. Great – now that you've failed to seize this opportunity, he's going to get married to someone else ” Audrey grumbled. Chloe finally understood what Audrey was going on about. this silly brat is still trying to find me a husband, huh! She didn't know whether to laugh or cry as she knocked her knuckles against Audrey's head. “ What's going on in that little brain of yours? What has his marriage got to do with me? he's just my boss, and that's all; you need to stop daydreaming and just go to sleep already”. Audrey quietly crawled under the duvet and went to bed. There goes a good opportunity, she thought as she closes her eyes. Chloe shook her head slightly before turning the lights off and shutting the bedroom door. After that day, Chloe began to purchase all the classroom necessities for Audrey. She then picked a Monday m
oh!, don't worry about it Once the admission procedures were completed, the helpers came forward and led the two children into their classrooms. Both Chloe and Kelvin had come along to observe the school environment, but the difference between them was that Chloe had to arrive at work by 9:00 am. She was running out of time, so she had to speedily your around the school premises before she left. She simply glanced around at the playground before she began to walk away from the place. However, she then slowed down as she heard a voice behind her. “ There aren't any safety precautions taken for the swings here”, Kelvin's voice was deep and a little hoarse as he glanced at the helper who had been following them around the whole time. “Are you sure that these are safe? Lyra, the pretty helper, seemed a little stunned upon hearing Kelvin's question. “The swings aren't that high and the ground beneath it is cushioned. Plus we've never had an accident with the swings at school in the past,
