Chapter 39

Kate POV

Picking up Aiden from school today had to be the worst thing I’d done in weeks. I hated to admit how similar Kelly and Aiden had almost the same annoying character.

That boy was the definition of stubborn. I’d told him, no, I actually begged him to take a taxi or bus home just for today, but of course, he refused. Instead, he threatened to tell Anderson if I didn’t come get him. What kind of twelve-year-old blackmailed adults?

Maybe keeping Aiden was a mistake. It was all Evelyn's stupid suggestions.

As I pulled up outside his school, he slid into the back seat, sulking. Would a day pass without him sulking? Probably not. He was growing into a fine young man, but with all that brooding, he still acted like a five-year-old.

I adjusted the rearview mirror and glanced at him. His dark hair and sharp jawline were unmistakably his father’s, but the colour in his eyes, is the same as hers always sends a wave of irritation through me.
