Chapter 5 - Revelations (1/2)
Alex went back kneeling in front of the Lewis after Colm was taken away from him. Of course he knew about April, He was Colm fiancee.
Ever since he have met Colm in highschool, all he ever talked most about was April. He remembered seeing the news on tv when April was missing. It was well known even in Europe, since Colm was found in Germany.
Colm always shared how April's condition was getting better all through out the years. Though he knew April through Colm and Colm introduced them to each other, April never seem to have interest in him.
April was always timid and non-responsive. At times, they would meet on parties organized by the Smiths. April would be gazing far away and isolated. Though he had never seen her lose herself, he had heard stories about it as well.
After all, Colm was determined to marry her. Although Colm is still currently 21, He was a genius. He skipped most of his middle school because he was smarter than his perks. That's how he met Colm in Highschool. Though they weren't classmates, it certainly gained his attention. Most of the teachers were always talking about how smart Colm is despite how young he was. Alex thought then that it wouldn't be a bad idea to have him as a friend. It will help him have his own connections in the US.
”Please let me take the responsibilities of being Sky's father. As you may know, I don't have a child with my wife yet. This way, Sky wouldn't have to worry about any sibling rivalry. I've already talked to my parents about this and they can't wait to meet my son.” Alex was anxious. He had always wanted to have a child. Unfortunately, he and his wife had a disagreement about this.
”Hold a sec”. Ted finally speak up. Everyone was still stunned by Alex's revelations.
Alex looked up at Ted and thought that if he wanted his son to recognize him as its father, he needed April's parents recognition. After all he thinks that April is not capable of having her own decisions. Since she still goes to see a psychiatrist.
Ted sighed and patted his wife's shaking hand.
”You keep calling my grandson as your son. How do we know if you are telling the truth? Also, I have never heard of you and April together? When did this happened? Plus, you already have a wife? What are your plans regarding this? I am sure you have known about my daughter's condition, I don't want her to suffer than she already has. So you better clear this up for all of us here!” Ted couldn't help but be doubtful. After all, why would Alex Hawthorne be interested in his daughter when he already had Francesca?
”I have a DNA test with me, I could take another one for your convenience.” Alex got up and handed them an envelope that was on the table.
”Also, My wife and I had already come to an agreement about Sky. I already told her about it.” It was a long argument that ended up to a good agreement. After all, he didn't wanna lose his wife in the process. He was in love with his wife since highschool.
