Chapter14

702 Words
When the night comes, they arrive at her boss's mansion. They see Elecxxon sitting on the wide sofa, watching TV, but he sees his father, and he immediately goes down from the sofa. “Hey, little man, be careful,” she immediately told the child, afraid that he might fall from the sofa. Elecxxon thankfully listened to her, then he looked at his father and greeted him, “Hi Daddy, welcome home.” Maximo shakes his head in response. Her lips twisted because of the cold response of the man to his child. She walked closer to the child to comfort him. “Hey, don’t you miss me too? ," she said, pouting. The child turned his attention to her and hugged her in response; she also hugged back. She liked this little boy. “I missed you, Auntie Lara. Can you sleep with me tonight and read me some stories?" He asked with a soft voice. She softly brushes the child’s hair using her fingers and squeezes his fat cheeks. “Yes—” “No! She will stay with me tonight. Sleep on your own,” Maximo said, using a serious voice. She turns her gaze to Maximo and gives him a killer look, and she immediately carries Elecxxon back to the sofa because he is crying. She suddenly feels pity for him, so she comforts him by caressing his back softly with her hand. “Shhh... it’s okay. Auntie Lara promised to sleep with you tonight and tell you stories. Don’t cry, okay?” She said softly, kissing the child’s cheeks. The child stops crying, looks at her, and innocently asks, “Promise?” She shakes her head. “Of course. But first, let me teach you how to dance and sing a song. Do you want to try it?” The child shook his head in response. “Sure, I love it too. “Good. Now, sing with me, okay?” He shook his head again. She puts her hand on his head; the child is already lying on the sofa, and his head is in her lap. “Head.” She starts singing and kisses the child's head. The child let out a soft laugh that made her laugh as well. “Come on, you need to sing too.” Elecxxon shakes his head and starts singing too. “Head.” “Shoulders.” She put his hand on his shoulders. “Knees and toes.” Just like what she did earlier, she also placed her hands on the child’s knees and toes. Elecxxon continued laughing because of the tingling sensation caused by her kisses and touches. The living area was filled with their laughter; they even forgot that Maximo was there, and he was looking at them with a straight face. In the nursery room, Elecxxon's room, she was lying in the baby's bed while Elecxxon's head was resting in her arms. She was there for a couple of hours, as promised, and she read him a story that made him happy. “Auntie, I hoped you were my mother,” Elecxxon suddenly said, which made her look at him. “You miss your mom?” She asked him. “I don’t know. Since I was born, I have never known where my mom is; I only see her in photos,” he said. She was curious about the mother of the child. “Can I see those photos?” She asked. The child got up, and she also got up from bed. “Sure. But can you promise me that you won't tell Dad that I let you see my mother?" The child said to her. She hurriedly shook her head. She was curious about who the mother of this child was and why Maximo didn’t want others to know about her. Elecxxon stood on the side of the bed, pulled out the drawer, took two pictures, and showed them to her. When she saw the pictures, she felt her soul leave her body. “What is happening?” She confusedly asks the air as if she gets an answer. She could feel her hands shaking because of the emotion she felt at that moment.
