Chapter 60: Chapter 60

**Cassie’s POV**

Earlier in the morning, I had to wake up my son and prepare since we would be off on a flight for a couple of hours.

"Son, behave on our flight, okay? Mommy needs to work; I am sorry if you have to go with me. I know it is bothersome, and you will get tired because of a long flight," I said to my son.

He mumbled, "It's okay, Mom! As long as I am with you. I promise you, Dad, that I will protect you no matter what. I love you, Mom!" My son is the sweetest.

"You promise to your dad?" Really?" I asked him with a smile on my face.

He nodded and hugged me, giving me a peck of a kiss on my cheek. "Yes! I always dream about him."

My happy smile turns into a sadder one. I am so jealous that I wish Kaiden could visit me in my dream. Maybe it is not as lonely at first, and maybe it is not as painful as a fresh wound from the past. But I still miss so much that it breaks me.

"I hope your dad is happy. I miss him too. Tell him that I love him, and if he can visit me too, tell him to barge into my dreams. I would never be angry if he would do so," I tell him, suppressing the turns that threaten to fall.

Charlie pouted as if he wanted to tell me something. "What's wrong?"

"Dad said he needs to go somewhere, and he will be back after his business." "So while he is away, I will protect mom, and after that, Dad will be here again."

I shook my head and sighed. I do not have the heart, to tell the truth about Kaiden. My son feels lonely. He is still longing for his father's love.

"Let's be prepared, son." "Your uncle Derek will be here any second."

"Okay, Mom."

I glanced at the wall clock and saw that we still had plenty of time to freshen up and do our routine. I manage to cook breakfast and pack some for the whole long ride.

When there is some knocking on the door, I know that it is my boss already. It's weird to say this for someone like me who lost her mate, but my boss has a distinct scent. Same as my son's teacher. I know when they are just nearby.

I opened the door, and he was in his casual attire, but he still looked expensive.

"Hi," he said, looking at me like I was the most beautiful woman he had ever glanced at in his entire life. I am not being boastful here; I just described the whole situation.

I cannot help but be conscious of how I look. "Come in; Charlie is waiting for you."

"I have something for him." He showed me the paper bag with toys, snacks, and books. Because my son loves reading too.

"You are spoiling my son too much."

"I can breathe money." I want to be irritated with him for stating that fact, but he is just being honest.

"But I do not want to be materialistic."

"I just cared about him. And I know that you teach him how to be a good person. He would not be a materialistic person, I promise."

I sighed, but I trust him. So there is no reason to reject that gift.

"But don't give him a gift too often."

"Fine with me."

He gets inside, and he goes straight to the couch, where my son is lacing his shoe. They instantly connect, and they talk like a long-lost friend. I almost thought that they were a father-son duo.

I know that Kaiden will be happy that someone can keep our son happy now.

But about Mr. Ross's confession to me: I think about it, and there is a little hope for me. But as much as I want to accept everything, it is still vague. There are uncertainties.

I can't let myself get too attached to him. At this point, I do not have any opportunities anymore to stop him and make him get away from me. All I can do is mitigate the impact. I will divert his attention until he manages to get rid of his feelings.

When it was just a couple of minutes before our department, we were already prepared to get inside the car.

We arrived at the airport at the right time. We are now inside a luxurious plane that I never imagined I would get inside.

Yes, because my boss is more of a simple kind of man that often bothers me in my apartment, and because I am playing with my son like a best friend, I forgot the fact that he is a rich guy.

The ride is long, and because this is a top-class type of airplane ride, we manage to get the best experience we can ever have.

My son is happy about the unlimited steak that he is eating. I can observe the weird stares of the flight attendant who served us at this moment. My son's appetite is weird because he just finished his fifth plate.

"Charlie has a big appetite; I am sure that he will grow into a fine man in the next few years." There is no doubt about that. My son has an alpha gene inside him.

"Yeah..."

I did not count how much time we spent on the plane. But I thanked everyone when we reached our destination. Japan!

Though I have heard so many positive things about this country, like the cleanliness, the culture, tourist spots, etc., I still cannot get over the fact that I am here. And my son is happy too.

There is a car waiting for us, and it looks like the attendant will drive us to my boss's mansion. I want to be surprised, but I would rather not since I know how rich he is. He can buy an island and still live luxuriously.

We went inside the car, and my son is sleeping. We are all tired from the long ride. Tomorrow will be the conference,
