Two Times the Charm

Chapter 24

There was actually no real homework in kindergarten it was all extra stuff that Emmett arranged for him to learn after school

Since he was a tot he had already learned so much that other kindergartners couldn’t even scratch the surface on. He had even touched upon some business related work.

“Hmm, not bad Emmett gave him a rare compliment This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

“Dad” Aiden looked at hum expectantly “If I get a perfect score on this test, can you grant me a wish?”

Emmett was taken aback

“What do you want?” This was the first time his son asked him for something

“I want you to take me to the amusement park on the weekend!”

Emmetts face darkened slightly. He wasnt a fan of such places. He spoke in a deep voice, “I thought you found such places childish?”

He himsel had found such places childish when he was a kid

“But i see other kids dads taking them i want you to take me just once

This kind of whining made Aiden feel so embarassing today

Thank God he was at home if they were out in public, he would have become a laughingstock. He was way too clingy. That was his self–assessment for the night

“You can go with Grandma”

Emmett put him down and sat on the sofa signaling he didn’t have time, but in reality, he just found such places too loud and chaotic

Aidens face tell, but for the sake of his and his little brother’s plan, he insisted. “But Grandma is too old, she can’t join me on many rides!”

“We have a nanny at homel

“I don’t want to go with the nanny! I want my dad to come with me!”

“Dont be stubborn”

Emmett’s face hardened

“Am i the stubbom one?” Aiden’s face turned red with anger, “Dad, is work all you care about? Is work more important than your own son? Why can’t you even grant me such a simple with?”

He looked at Emmett with disappointment, like a pint–sized adult holding court. If it were Mom, she would definitely agree to take him to the amusement park and so would other kids” dads. Only his dad seemed

to think he wasn’t important

Emmett’s gaze flickered, but he soon felt a pang of guilt. He remembered the time his son ran away from home and the resolution he made to be a better father. He softened

Aiden was about to storm off upstairs in a huff when Emmett called him back, “Stop!”

Aiden stood his ground not locking back, still furning

Emmett walked over, scooped Aiden up and muttered in his ear, “Alright, I promise”

“Really?”

Aiden’s eyes widened in surprise. He didn’t expect Emmett to cave in

“Hmm, you also promised me you’d get a perfect score”

“That’s a piece of cake”

Aiden was totally cool about it. Kindergarten homework was a breeze for him

Once back in his room, he couldn’t wait to share the news with Alex. Alex also told him that he and Mom made the same arrangement. Both kids started looking forward to their “coincidental encounter” on the

weekend!
