Clara clung tightly to the doctor’s hand. Her reddened eyes staring at her, “I’m begging
you… please keep my secret!”
“This….”
They don’t need to know….I beg you! Otherwise, I’ll really die….”
Five years later, in a city.
Clara was up early.
She prepared her son Alex’s favorite breakfast, sandwiches and soya milk. She pushed
open the door of the second bedroom, and gently patted her son’s little burt, “The sun is
up! It’s the first day of school. We can’t be late!”
“Mom… Alex groggily got up, acting spoiled. He wrapped his arms around Clara’s neck,
and kissed her cheek, “Can I sleep for another ten minutes?”
“No way!” Clara helplessly and humorously patted her son’s face, “Did you forget what
mom told you yesterday?”
“Hmm…I need to go to kindergarten, and mommy needs to work, to pay for my

times.” Alex scrunched his small face, “Why don’t you adults keep your promises!”
“Be good. Mom will take you next week.”
“Humph, that’s what you said last time!”
“Mom you’re always tricking me! You used to say dad was dead, but I clearly saw him on

hand
“You handle it.”
“Yes, sir.”
“Go home.”
After the man finished speaking, he turned his gaze to the window.
At this moment, his perfect side profile could be seen clearly in the car’s rear–view mirror.
He had deep contours and perfectly proportionate features. Peach–colored thin lips that

He was the widely known business prodigy Emmett Melendez. The only heir of the
Melendez family, who has been voted the most eligible bachelor in the magazine annual
surveys for six consecutive years.
He was rumored to dislike women and had serious germophobia! In addition, he had a
child with an unknown birth mother. This was announced by the Melendez family three
years ago, which had sparked many discussions and speculations.
‘Is Aiden still refusing to eat?”
Emmett suddenly spoke Mart paused before replying, “Yes, Aiden said if he doesn’t get to
see his mother, he will continue to refuse food.”
“He knows how to threaten people at such a young age.” He sneered coldly, his handsome
