Have you drugged him?

    Chapter 3; Have you drugged him?

    The handsome little boy rushed in his school uniform holding his backpack. He was the mini version of his father except for his caramel-colored hair and striking blue eyes.Elton hugged his father's leg " Good morning Dad."

    Placing a hand on the boy's back, Aiden's face lit with joy "Good morning Eldon. How was your night?"

    The little lad shrugged and then took his father's hand "It was good. I have something to show you."

    They sat on the bed. The little lad's curious eyes assessed the environment. He wrinkled his nose at the scattered bed, clothes on the floor, and strange smell in the room.

    At this point, it did not matter. He was rather nervous about his upcoming recital. Eldon wiped his face with the back of his hand. After rummaging his backpack he brought out a green paper, " Dad, this is my recital. Our teacher said we should write about our favorite parent."

    Pride warmed his chest at the paragraph his son wrote. At about five years old, Eldon had a high IQ and was the topper of his class. Plus, he could spell too. Which was beyond impressive for children his age.

    " What has my boy written?"

    Suddenly shy,Eldon hid the paper behind his back "Emm... don't be angry with me "

    "Why would I be?" he asked,amused by his son's shyness which he had clearly inherited from his mother,Elsie. 

    Eldon nibbled on his lower lip, his gaze stuck on the marble floor "I wrote about Mommy."

    Aiden's expression remained gentle and understanding. " That's wonderful.I am not upset at all. "

    Pursing his lips, Eldon slowly perked up again "But I know you love me and mom hates me. Still, I love her very much and I want to show her through my recital that I love her. "

    In the bathroom, listened with a sharp pain in her heart. Her lips trembled. Did her boy think she hated him?

    In her last life, she was quite distant from him because she wanted to make Aiden divorce her quickly. Trix had convinced her. Sometimes when she was drunk she would take out her frustration on the child who was the spitting image of her father.

    In all, she was a bad mom. How could the boy not think this?

    To her surprise, Aiden did not blame her. Chuckling softly, he remarked "Your mom does not hate your champ. I told you she is sad and needs to figure out some things. Then she would be a good mother to you "

    "Did she ever love me?" he asked in worry playing with his fingers with lowered eyes. His bright eyes are now red with unshed tears.

    It broke his parent's hearts.

    Pulling his son into an embrace, Aiden comforted in a soothing voice "Of course, she loved you from the moment she found out she had you in her tummy. She loved you. You are her pride, she tells all her friends about you. When you were born she carried you out everywhere. You just can't remember. "

    Stunned, Elsie blinked her tears away. Was this man real? He understood her so well.

    What happened was that Aiden was betrothed to Trickson Dale.

    After Elsie's mother saved the life of Aiden's grandpa, as a way for him to show his gratitude he got them engaged.Obviously, Trickson hated her because of since she loved Aiden.

    Upon meeting, Aiden and Elsie had no interest in each other at least that was what she thought. Aiden inheritance forced him into the marriage while Elsie did it to fulfill her mom's last wishes. Both went into an agreement to separate after a year on the basis of irreconcilable differences.

    One thing led to another on a New Year's night, and they ended up consummating their marriage. A few months later, she found she was pregnant. Although she did not want him, she loved Eldon and fell for Aiden at the same time. Until Trix came in with her lies and scheming.

    As he grew up, Elsie would take pictures of her son daily and bring him everywhere. She could not stop telling people about her son. Until Trix told her to pretend to hate her son so Aiden would throw her out of the house. Unfortunately, no matter what she die Aiden never agreed for divorce.

    ' The past me was so stupid and I treated my biological son badly. I will do better in this life. ' she thought.

    "Really?" Eldon's head jerked up in surprise. An infinite smile spread on his lips.

    He mirrored his son's smile and nodded "Of course. She loves you so much."

    Suddenly, his past interactions with his mother came up and it made him sad. His shoulders slumped and he implored "If so why does she always scold me and sometimes tell me to get away? Mommy is always in her room the whole day and never joins us for breakfast or cooks for us as my friend's mommy does. It's like she hates us. ''

    At this moment, Aiden's jaw ticked. He recalled all the moments in the last where her son cried because of his very own mother. It made him clench the sheet in his fist. Tying chains over his emotions, he spoke in a soft voice "Bud, I told you that your mom is in grief. She lost her mother and is sad."

    ' Mourning my mother? Hah! My mom died when I was seventeen. ' she sighed inwardly.

    The little boy sighed,"I understand, but it feels like I'm losing her. I really miss Mom. "

    "She misses you too. " Aiden replied, placing a kiss on his forehead.

    A squeaky sound sounded in Aiden's ears he looked towards the bathroom to find his wife watching them. His eyes darkened, and he told his son '' Your mother will attend your recital."

    "Really? Mom has never come to my school. What if she gets lost?"

    " We will come together. " Aiden assured in a firm tone. It was decided Elsie must attend this recital. Even if it meant in exchange for the favor she needed or he would drag her there himself.

    Eldon's eyes lit up and he shot his arms in the air in celebration. He hugged his Father tightly "Yay. Thank you, dad. You are the best!!! "

    "You are welcome." Aiden smiled back at the boy. He was not the type to smile a lot however he found himself doing a lot around his wife and son. They were his world.

    In the bathroom, Elsie looked around desperately for something to wear. They stayed in separate rooms so none of her things were here. From the corner of her eyes, she found a blue shirt. Quickly, she wore it. She was very excited to see her son.

    Abruptly, the kid asked inspecting the room '' Dad, why is your room so messy? It is never messy."

    " Ahh. Dad was searching for a very important file," he answered calmly. Glancing at his watch, Aiden picked up his phone and his son in the other hand " Come on. You need to get to school."

    "Ok Dad." he smiled unrestrainedly.

    " Eldon Sweetie," Unfortunately, by the time she walked out they were gone. Her smile collapsed. "Where have they gone? "

    Over her head, she peered at the vintage wind-up clock mounted on the wall. It was the same one she gifted him when they officially met. It was embarrassing. Elsie was bad at giving gifts. It made her smile though " I guess they have gone to school, it is time. I will speak to him later then. First I have to deal with ___"

    Her words were but shirt by the sudden ring of her phone. She walked over to the window sill where she had left it. It felt strange in her hands for technology changed so much in the future. New phones were transparent and weightless. The contact name ram through ' Trixson Sis'

    Reading it, made her blood boil. This evil woman who had multiple men rape her for over ten years. She wished to rip her into pieces. However, it was not the same choice. In this life, she would make them regret being bone.

    For sure.

    "Hello," she answered skeptically, not sure why Trix was calling.

    A small voice rang from the other side. It sounded so innocent and pure it could melt away everyone's hearts " Elsie? Is that you?"

    ' In the flesh!' Elsie thought, gnashing her teeth.

    Although her temper had been ignited, Elsie managed to breathe out and reply in a similar tone "Yes, big Sis. Why are you calling ?"

    "Why?!" The once calm voice raised in unrestrained anger. Her true colors reared out its head. Realizing she slipped up, Trixson Dale began to cough " My cough is getting worse, I need to see an ENT doctor. Have you forgotten? Henry Rowan is in the district hospital due to an accident. You need to rush there with the bill. Have you drugged Aiden yet? "

    Instantly,Elsie's eyes widened.
