Chapter 26: Chapter 26
Chapter 26 I just want to make you worry
Emily wanted to continue explaining, but Alex's coldness made her bit her lip unjustly.
It's a pity that her pitiful look did not reach Alex's heart, he picked up Kitten and go to the door with a decisive expression. "Tonight, he has been too frightened, I will take him. You eat alone."
Kitten sneakily poked his face over Alex's shoulder, stick out his tongue to defy her.
They went out of the hall, Alex did not take the car right, he took his son to the garden and reached towards the fountain.
Putting the baby on the cement-paved pedestal, Alex sat in front of him, faced to face, and said seriously. "Come on, let's talk like two men."
Kitten blinked a smile because he was valued, but his father's question made his smile stiff.
"You purposely ran away from the hall, right? Men don't lie. Dad hates children who lie, so tell the truth, you purposely ran away from the hall, right?"
His stern eyes instinctively scared Kitten, and he nodded like a confession.
Alex stared at the top of his son's head, he sighed. "I know you don't like Emily, but the person who has taken care of you since birth has been Emily. You ran away like that, don't you think she would worry?"
"But she didn't treat me well, she doesn't love me, and she hurt my hand." Kitten deliberately raised his healed arm to remind.
"Elly is really my mother. She washed my wound, hugged me in her arms ... hu hu ... I want her."Kitten hiccupped with strong outcries and tears.
Alex realized that Kitten, like him, were both subject to a curse from her mildness, from the feeling of human-like Elly brought. But he has no proof, everything is just speculation.
"Kitten, she is not your mother. Is it because Emily scolded you, so you got angry and wanted to find someone else to replace?"
"No, even if she didn't scold me, I still recognize my mother"
"Call Emily as a mother." Alex reminded.
Kitten bit his lip and said "Yes.".
"Kitten, even though Elly treats you gently, she's not your mother. She's maybe like Maddy, both are your wrong feelings. Listen to me, do forget this feeling. When you are older you'll understand."
"Yes." Kitten lowered his head and pouted unhappily. He will not tell his father that he felt very happy when hugged by Elly, it's completely different from that of Emily.
Alex thinks that he had explained it clearly, Kitten will not be mistaken anymore.
He took Kitten to a bakery and watched him ate two cakes deliciously.
They went home an hour later.
"Is Emily home?" Alex asked the maid.
Receiving the maid's answer, Alex simply thought that she was enjoying it, so he didn't care.
After washing Kitten by himself and put the baby to sleep, Alex handled several left important documents. He finished the work four hours later, it was past midnight. He planned to go downstairs to get a glass of wine and go back to his bedroom.
He was surprised at the bright living room, and the private driver was squatting in front of the door.
"What are you doing here now?"
The cold voice came down from above, startled the private driver making him fall down the stairs.
Seeing his owner, the private driver was delighted to crawl up, his face was both scared and happy.
"Boss, thankfully you haven't slept yet."
"What?"
"Your wife has not returned yet. Never did she leave late after midnight."
"Did you call her?"
"Yes, but no one answered." The private driver was worried about the insecurity, his mouth stuttered. "Recently, the media has reported on bad guys specializing in night activities, she is a girl ..."
Alex snatches the key from the private driver. "Let me find her."
Driving the car out the gate quite far, he thought and speculated where Emily could go, then the car headlight swept to a body sitting on a rail into the nearby park.
He had to brake hard on the curb. Alex shut the car door, angrily went on.
"Do you know what time it is now ..."
Emily tumbled into his heart, his eyes glittered with her sweet and happy voice. "Alex, I know you still care about me!" She hugged him tightly, rubbed her beautiful thorax on him, rested her head in the hollow of his neck, closed her eyes, and felt the warmth on his body.
Alex did not hug her, coldly asked. "You were deliberately not going home, right?
Emily blinked, rubbed her face into his lap with her pampered voice. "I just want to know if I'm there's still in your heart? I'm right, you still worry about my safety."
He frowned and irritated, pushed her away. But from inside, there was a small cry that made his hand drop.
"I just want to be cared for by my lover, what's wrong? Alex, for three years, you have not given me any attention. Now there is a small secretary next to you, you are colder to me, throwing me at the restaurant and leaving first."
His shirt was soaked. Her voice becomes soaring with reproach. "Before you weren't like that, you were always gentle and put me above everything ..."
"That's because ..." Alex stubbornly removed Emily's hand with his irony cruel voice "... I haven't seen you before. You are not as gentle as what you show. You've changed, or maybe that is your nature."
"Did I change? At what point did I change?"
"You are scheming with and nurturing evil heart."
"Alex, don't treat me like that." Emily wanted to hold his hand, but he avoided. "I haven't changed, I still love you, this love has never faded in the past three years."
Alex did not reply, talkative was not his personality.
Alex's indifferent attitude made it difficult for Emily to breathe, her heart seemed to be pierced in pain by something. Tears kept falling on her face.
The two stood pulling together, not noticing a black car rushing past. Inside were John and Elly, she thought she just saw her boss and his mistress.
Shaking her head, Elly felt herself thinking a lot. Four hours had passed since she helped Kitten get lost, they could not have been still standing in the street.
"I am very happy that Elly comes home with me." John happily said and pulled her to stop and looked out the car window.
After their meal, they went to the hotel where Elly rented to clean their belongings to return to their house. Her items are not much, so just one turn is enough.
"Can I ask you the reason for changing your mind? I think you are still mad at me." John said jokingly, he couldn't hide the smile from the corner of his mouth.
"It's been a while since I've been despiteful, I should go back to my house."
Elly said this from her heart. She wouldn't admit she was jealous when she saw Kitten's happy family – a typical family with parents, and a young child.
For her, apart from John, she does not have any relatives. She felt sorry for herself and wanted to return to her only loved one.
John smiled slightly and gently patted her head, "I am your home forever."
John looked at her shy smile and asked. "To celebrate this happy story, I wonder if tomorrow noon will I have the honor to invite Miss Elly to have lunch?",
Elly calculated the distance from her company to the hospital, immediately nodded.
The two smiled at each other and returned home.
At Alex's house, after chasing Emily to return to her room, he received a call from the detective.
"Talk."
"Sir, Miss Emily hasn't met any suspicious people recently, but today she went to the bank before going to the restaurant to meet you."
Since the discovery that Emily and John know each other, John hired a detective to monitor and report on her daily travel schedule. But Emily had no movements, just went from home to the supermarket or the company, nothing special. Today's travel does have a point of doubt.
For years, Emily has been spending money from the card he gave him, never having to go to the bank in person.
"Continue spying." John hung up the phone with a sharp flash of danger in his eyes.
