Always Together✔️

Chapter: 137

Alec's POV

Two weeks later

"Dad, will you buy me that electric four-wheeler which I showed you?" Liam asks.

"Umm..." I raise my eyebrows and tilt my head slightly to the side, not knowing how to tell him that his mom has already warned me not to buy him that four-wheeler because his demand for the cycle has been fulfilled.

"Please," He says giving me that look which makes it impossible for me to deny his demand.

"Okay, but not this month, next month," I say with finality in my tone because it will take me some time to persuade Avery to buy him a four-wheeler.

"Yay!" He grins, nonetheless, happily, "Thank you, and I love you." His whole face brightens with glee.

Looking at him my heart bursts with contentment, I will happily do anything just to see this happiness on his face. Even if it means to face the wrath of Avery.

"Come back home, soon," He looks at me with a small pout, "I miss you."

"I will come back home as soon as I finish my work." I smile.

Avery and I have noticed after the kidnapping incident, Liam wants us to be around him most of the time. Especially, during the first few days, he was constantly attached to us. He was not leaving us even for a minute, especially, Avery. But now he has started getting normal, though he still doesn't like when I go to work.

"Okay, when you will come home then we will eat those cookies which mom gave me to not to tell you that she fell while she was hopping in the room."

"Yeah, sure." I nod while holding back the urge to groan. Avery needs to rest and not to move around much as her wound is still fresh. But Avery is being Avery, which means she has vowed not to listen to what she has been told.

"Okay, buddy, I have to go now." I check the time, "Be good and make sure your mom doesn't move around much, I will see you in the evening."

"Bye, Dad, love you." He waves his hand.

"Love you, too." I smile and end the video call.

Putting down the phone, I see Marshall smiling at me.

"What? Why are you smiling?" I ask.

"That kid has wrapped you around his finger." He chuckles, "But, honestly, we are happy to see you smiling." He pats my back as we both walk outside my office.

"Let's get over with this, so you can go home to your son." He nods his head with a small smile.

My mood shifts and all my earlier demeanor changes while a mask of indifference slips onto my face as I open the door and enters the room.

Walking to the table, I pull the chair and sit while keeping my cold glare on Kendra, who is doing the perfect act of being innocent.

But we all know how innocent is she.

"Kendra, you know I need answers." Leaning back in my chair, I give her a pointed look, "So don't test my patience and answer everything which I ask you truthfully."

"Why are you treating me like this, like I am some criminal?" She starts her drama and cries.

"We all are treating you very nicely, Kendra, because if we have given you the treatment which we give others then you would have already told us everything the moment we have entered the room." Marshall gives her an annoyed look.
