Adie put down the envelope and looked at Alice calmly. "Who are you? Why are you here at Ace’s office?"
His questions only invoked Alice’s guilt.
"I..."
Now, she was almost sure that this boy was Aces’s son. Not only did he look exactly like the childhood Ace, but he carried the sa strong and confident aura his father had!
"Adie, I am your Mommy’s good friend. You can call Aunt Alice."
Alice was all smiles as she approached Adie gradually.
She could only be sure that this kid was Ace’s. As for his mother, she was still unsure if it was Joanna. novel bin
Ace was so outstanding. There were countless won who wished to bear his children. It might not be Joanna, after all.
"You are Mommy’s good friend?"
Adie’s chubby but handso face showed a confused expression.
He had only heard his Mommy ntion a good friend called Aunt Clara and had never heard of her having any friends surnad Alice.
However, he heard that Aunt Clara often cursed a woman called Alice, saying that it was she who bewitched bad daddy and separated him from Mommy.
Could she be Alice?
"Yes. Your Mommy is Joanna, and you are Adie, right? You know, your Mommy and I have been very close. I even told your Mommy that I want to be your godmother!"
Alice thought that a four-year-old kid would be very easy to coax, so she lied enthusiastically, hoping she could gain Adie’s trust.
Adie’s grape-like black eyes twinkled, and he imdiately took the chance to probe her. "Wow, are you really Mommy’s best friend called Alice?"
Alice’s face stiffened. She suddenly felt a bit overwheld. "You-your Mommy ntioned before?"
"Uh-huh. Mommy said that Aunt Alice is very beautiful and kind, even more so than her. Now that I have seen you, you are really as she said.
Aunt Alice, you are beautiful and kind!"
Adie suddenly jumped out of the office chair and opened his arms as he rushed into Alice’s embrace. Then, he muttered coquettishly, "Aunt Alice, I really, really like you. Apart from Mommy, you are the prettiest and kindest woman..."
"Um..."
Adie’s action stupefied Alice. She literally froze on the spot and even stopped breathing.
’What’s happening here? The son of the woman I hated the most is actually hugging and saying he likes a lot?’
The actual fact, however, was that she and Joanna had always been at odds and hated each other to the guts. She refused to believe that Joanna would say anything good in front of this little kid.
Then... what exactly went wrong?
"Are... are you sure that your Mommy said I am kind and gorgeous?" Alice looked at the fluffy head of this little guy and asked curiously.
Still hugging Alice, Adie tilted his head up and gazed cutely at the woman with bright shiny eyes uncannily similar to Ace’s.
"Yeah. Mommy even said I must hug you and not let you go if I et you. She said you are very kind and will take good care of ."
Alice was speechless.
She looked at Adie’s eyes, a complicated feeling clouding her heart.
On the one hand, she hated Joanna so much to the extent of killing her, which ant she should naturally hate her kid.
On the other hand, this boy was simply too adorable. She was a woman who nearly beca a mother. It was especially when she saw his eyes that her heart, which had long turned rock-hard, softened
"Aunt Alice, don’t you like ?"
Little Adie blinked his eyes like how his sister, Abby, always did. He tried hard to act cute with the sa intention as Alice, to gain her trust, as he knew that it was her who worked with bad daddy to bully Mommy.
Therefore, he needed to find a way to teach this woman a lesson!
"I..."
Alice couldn’t bring herself to even say that she hated this little kid the mont she looked at his adorable face.
"Aunt Alice, can you pat and hug ? You are just like my Mommy. I like you very much!"
Adie bead and held Alice’s hand.
Alice was instantly defeated. She failed to restrain herself and cupped Adie’s fair and soft cheeks, and said, "How can I not like you? You are so cute! Don’t worry. I will take good care of you. Why don’t I take you sowhere to play later?"
"Sure. You are the best!"
Adie continued to hug Alice tightly while plotting a small plan in his mind.
She indulged in the feel of Adie’s soft cotton-ball-like cheek, unwilling to let go.
She sighed inwardly. If her baby developed normally and was born at full term, he should already be as big as this kid. She wondered if her child would be as cute as him and if his cheeks would be as soft as his. If only Aide were her child...
Soon, she shook her head and ca to her senses.
This brat was Joanna’s child. So what if he was cute? He was just a bastard. This was such a good chance, and she couldn’t afford to waste it!
Alice took a deep breath, suppressing her liking for Adie, and asked, "Adie, did you co to the City with your Mommy? Who brought you to this office? Are you planning to see your daddy?"
"Yes. I have never seen my daddy. I have a lot to say to him. Do you know where he is?" Adie answered with pretended innocence.
"Your Daddy happens to be my best friend. He won’t be not coming here for a while, and you might not be able to see him..."
"Then do you know where he is?"
"Of course. I am your daddy’s best friend!"
"That’s fantastic. Can you bring to Daddy, Aunt Alice?" Adie knew that Alice must be thinking of kidnapping him, so he played along and begged her.
"Sure. Get your stuff, and I will bring you to him right away."
Alice’s smile slowly turned cold.
A child was indeed a child. With just a few words, he was already fooled.
Honestly speaking, this little one was indeed very cuddly and adorable. He was the kind of child she dread of having. Unfortunately, he was born into the wrong family and beca the son of her nesis, Joanna Pierce.
Not only that his fate was bad, but also his luck. He had just returned to the City but was already in her hand before eting his father...
Now, his life and death would depend on his luck.
She had a vicious plan in her mind.
She held Adie and left Moran Group unnoticed, avoiding all the surveillance caras..
