Chapter 51 - Declaration of War (2) (2/2)

Phoebe had been fully regretful that she couldn't give Alex a sibling. Now that they finally had a grandkid, She felt relieved somehow. Theo patted his wife's back, as she was getting emotional.

”Welcome to the family April, Sky..” Theo smiled to April as he stood behind his wife.

April smiled, inside she felt warm. Being accepted by someone else's family, was one of the greatest feelings one could ever feel.

Alex pulled April's waist, as he could see that she too was about to cry like his mother. This time, he felt at peace. Something that he had never felt with Francesca. This time, he would do everything he could. Just to protect this peace.

After an hour of getting Sky get acquainted with his grandparents. Alex got up and told everyone that he is taking April out for dinner and that his parents would be in charge with Sky until they got back.

Theo and Phoebe instantly agreed. They couldn't wait and sent Alex and April out. But before leaving, April had left a message to Sky.

”I'm not sure how long I will be gone, but I'll be safe with your Daddy. You be good for Mommy and will be right back to get you, okay? If anything happens, your grandparents will be here to help you. They are now our family, so enjoy your time with them.” April hugged and kissed Sky. She knew that her son usually gets paranoid when she leaves.

Sky nodded and hugged his mother back. As long as she was happy, that's all that mattered to him.

While April was giving some words to Sky, Alex was too with his parents.

”We might get back tomorrow. Please be nice and gentle with my son. Don't scare the little guy.” Alex said while looking at April and Sky.

”What do you think of us? That we are bad people? Tskk..” Theo harrumphed.

Phoebe giggled. ”You can be sometimes dear. I could see the look in your eyes.”

Alex only shook his head, not answering his father's retorts.

After that, the two then left. Inside the car, April was fidgety. It had been a while since her and Alex went somewhere to eat.

”Where are you taking me?” April asked as her hand held his hand.

”In my penthouse.” Alex smiled warmly as he kissed the back of her hand.

April blushed. Alex was too endearing to her, it gives her butterflies in her stomach.
