Chapter 35 - Their Little Secret (1/2)

As April and Colm gathered their thoughts in silence, Alex arrived with Sky.

As soon as he arrived. He asked the maid if April woke up. The maid had informed him that the Madame was indeed awake and that she was at the gazebo, eating her meal.

Hearing that his mommy woke up, Sky didn't wait for his father and dashed towards the garden.

”MOMMMMYYY!!!” Sky yelled.

Hearing her son's calling, April woke up from her thoughts.

”Colm, I'll talk to you later. Sky is here. I'll.. I'll think about it.” She then hanged up. She didn't wait for his reply and set her phone down. April wiped away her tears and composed herself. She didn't want Sky or Alex to see her crying.

She cleared her throat and yelled back. ”Baby! I'm here!”.

”Mommy!!” Sky was dressed casually, but she could tell that it was all branded. Looks like Alex took him shopping, she thought.

As Sky showed up, Alex was trailing behind him. He felt successful today, He was able to trick his son to go shopping with him. Just the two of them. He smiled when he saw April having her meal. He did noticed her face was slightly red, including her eyes. Did she cry? he wondered.

April welcomed Sky into her arms and kissed his cheeks. The only thing she didn't regretted was having Sky. She would do the same thing all over again, if time rewinds.

”Mommy.. I miss you..” Sky hugged his mother and burrowed his face into her chest.

”I miss you too baby. Where did you go with Daddy?” April wondered.

”Mommy was tired and sleeping, so he brought me out to shop.” Sky still didn't mentioned the word ”Daddy”.

April smiled and looked at the incoming ”Daddy”. Alex looked hot and dashing with his folded long sleeves shirt and slacks. Alex's hair was neatly comb. He smiled as soon as he caught her looking at him.

”How can I ever let go of that smile? The smile that was meant for me. His warm hugs and sweet nothings, that's being whispered in my ear as we make love together. How could I let him go? When my love for him is my source of life?.” April thought as she smiled back to him.

”Morning sleepy head.” Alex kissed her forehead as he sat next to her.

”This is for you.” He pulled 3 long-stemmed red roses bouquet behind him. It was neatly wrapped by the florist.

April smiled as she accepted the flowers. ”It looks pretty, thanks Daddy.”

Alex's jaw dropped, brows crossed. ”Daddy?”

”Yes. Isn't that right baby?” April nudge Sky out from her chest. ”Did you choose this flower with Daddy?”

”Yes. Daddy and I bought it together.” He replied. Sky got the hint that April wanted him to say the word, since she kept repeating it. He was a smart kid after all.

Alex's jaw dropped some more. His eyes went wide, he couldn't believe what he just heard.

”Did he just said, what I thought he said?” Alex looked at April.
