Chapter 85: winning her over again*

Emma had a frowning expression as she stared at the tall man who held her arm firmly. She was more confused on the fact that he wasn't saying anything but kept silent as though he's seen a ghost or something. The lady next to him had the same expression.

" Let go of me."!

She broke free from his hold.

" Hey, are you okay...are you hurt?." Julian walked up to them with a concerning look.

" Uh... yeah it's just-

" You... you're still-

" I'd appreciate if you don't ever touch my girlfriends arm like Mr."

Julian cut Alec off.

" Alec."! Trixie came up to them, looking at confused Emma before dragging Alec away with her. " Let's go."

" Would you mind explaining to me why I just saw my dead wife just now?."

" I'll explain later."

A FEW HOURS EARLIER...

" are you ready to go champ?."

" Why isn't mommy coming with us?."

" Well mommy has other works to attend to buddy."

" But it's weekend, weekends are for resting."

" Correct, but some people work on weekends and mommy is one of them."

" I want to go with mommy, I'm not leaving without her."

" Does that mean you don't want to spend the day with me?."

" I want to spend the day with both of you, other kids will be there with both their parents. So do I."

Julian helplessly glanced at Emma.

" Alright bud, mommy will come with us."

" Julian..."

" It's fine, you can wear a cap and sheds on.. just lay low and will make it through the day."

" It's a whole day."

" I know but, look at that face how can I simply say no to that adorable face of his."

Emma sighs staring at her son. Guess she has no other choice.

" I will call Trixie and let her know."

Once Emma was all dressed up they drove to the park were they soon met up with Trixie.

" Are you sure you wanna go in?." Trixie spoke seeing how crowded it was.

" Yeah, no problem."

Emma nodded getting out of the car, she held onto Julian's arm while he carried Alex. They bought the tickets and went inside.

....

" Daddy, I want to ride the unicorns, can I? Can I?." Eli clang onto Alec's arm.

" Of course princess."

" Are you coming Winter?." She waved for Winter to join her. Winter happily went with Eli on the unicorns. Alec watched them as they smiled and giggled to one another, they seem to get along and he found it quite relieving.

" Daddy join us."

" I'm fine princess."

" Uncle."! Andrea yelled his little voice as he spotted Alec over the unicorn round. Ava and Zain walked up to him.

" Hey buddy, you okay?." Alec ruffles the little guys hair and he giggles nodding.

" Mommy can I go up also?."

" Of course, we can ride together so you don't fall off okay."

" I'm a big boy mommy, I can handle myself."

" Of course you are, but I insist." They went on together while Zain stayed back.

" How's it going with her?." Zain spoke resting his arms on the rails.

" What kind of response are you expecting me to give?."

" Who knows."

Zain simply said with Alec chuckling. " She's fine, it's all I can say."

" Hm, she seems to get along with your daughter."

" It's a good thing isn't it?."

" Yeah."

Alec watched them in silence.

" Mommy I want to ride one of those cars."

" Off to the cars we go." Alex ran off ahead of them. " Alex don't run you'll hurt yourself."!

Emma yelled out to Alex as they by passed Alec and the others.

The kids went from game to game enjoying themselves. Ava and Zain took the kids to get some ice cream while Alec and Winter took a stroll around.

" Are you having fun?." He asked.

" Yes I am, thank you for taking me along."

" There's no need."

Winter spotted a little boy crying his eyes out lost and alone."

" Alec, look." She points at the little boy and running to him.

" Hi sweetie, are you lost?."

" Mommy." Alex cried out for his mommy.

" He must have been separated from his parents, we have to help him."

Alec crunched in front of the boy wiping his eyes.

" What's your name?."

" Alex." He sniffs.

" And your parents name?."

" Julian Ken, and Emma."

Alec paused for a while hearing that name. But thought much nothing of it, people share the same names around the world. She couldn't be his Emma. Even though his eyes looks exactly like her, and weirdly....why does this kid look like....

Alec shook his head not trying to think much of it, that would be to weird.

" I will get you to your parents okay."

" Yes." He nods and Winter takes him in her arms and began looking for Alex's parents.

MEANWHILE....

Emma was in panic and crying when she couldn't find her son anywhere. Alex wanted cotton candy and they went to get some while Julian was on a call. Trixie also left them for a moment to get a drink so Emma was with Alex as they waited for the cotton candy. Emma stared away from Alex for just two minutes as she looked for where to go next when suddenly Alex wasn't there anymore.

" Alex.! Alex where are you?." Emma called out. " Excuse me Mr, the little boy that was here have you seen? He's 3 years old."

" No, sorry."

" Oh my god. Julian! Julian."!

Julian rushed over hearing Emma's desperate calling.

" What happened?."

" I-i can't find him... he's... he's gone."

" Where's Alex?."

" I-i don't know i-i turned away for 2 minutes and he was nowhere to be seen." She cried out.

" It's okay I'm gonna find him."

" I'm gonna die if something happens to him, p-please... he's everything to me, p...please find him, I want my son."

Emma was literally breaking down and crying her eyes. Julian hugged her tight comforting her.

" Emma? What happened?."

" Look after her."

Julian handed Emma over to Trixie while he ran off to find Alex.

" I won't sit back and do nothing, I'm going to look for him."

Emma ran off.

" Emma wait."!

Trixie called after her. She takes out her phone and notifies a missing child report before running after Emma.

Emma ran from corner to corner in search of her son, tears still running and nose red. A few minutes went by and still no trace of her son.

" Mommy."!

" Alex?."

Emma turned and saw her son. She ran to him and took him in her arms kissing his little face and soft hair.

" I'm sorry mommy."

" Don't scare mommy like that, I would have died if something bad happened to you."

" I wanted a balloon and got lost, but kind Uncle and Aunty found me and helped me."

Emma looked over at the two people who found her son.

" Thank you so much."

Alec had all different mixed emotions. Was he's eyes deceiving him or playing tricks on him? Is she really his Darling wife?

" We should go back to daddy, he's really worried."

" Emma?."

Alec holds her wrist. Emma frowns creasing her brows. That's when Julian arrived.

" I would appreciate if you wouldn't hold my girlfriends wrist like that Mr."

" Apologies, she reminds me of someone I once knew. I simply want to clear my doubts."

" Emma."! Trixie arrived at the seen and saw Alec and Winter. " Shit."

" Trixie?." Alec spoke. Trixie turned to Julian and Emma.

" You should go I will join you later."

Julian took Emma and Alex with him while Trixie dragged Alec with her.

They went to a nearby Chinese restaurant and requested a private room. Later on Zain, Ava and the children met up with them.

" Why does everyone look so serious and gloomy?." Ava asked.

" Winter can you take the kids out to eat, we will join in later."

Trixie spoke. Winter glanced over at Alec before obediently agreeing to take the kids out.

" We were going to tell you." Trixie finally said to Alec.

" What do you mean " we" who else knows?."

Trixie glanced at Ava and Alec gave a unbelievable dry chuckle.

" You two knew my wife was still alive and said nothing."

" We recently found out as well, and we didn't tell you as soon as we did cause you would have ran off to find her and blurt out she's your wife and that would destroy her."

" What do you mean?."

" Emma doesn't remember you Alec, she only remembers her past memories...not the time she met you or anything else."

" Trixie is right, my own sister doesn't even remember me."

" F*ck... And who's that man she's with? And the kid...does she have a kid with another man?."

" Don't be ridiculous, Alex is your son. Emma was pregnant...And that guy is Doctor Julian Ken, he was the one who saved Emma and made sure she had a safe delivery while she was in her five year coma. He raised Alex from birth and he's practically his father -

" F*ck that, I'm not letting a stranger raising my son."

" And what will you do? Go there and take him from his mother?."

Alec kept silent, of course he can't do that. Emma would hate him for it. The only way to get her back is winning her over again. Make her fall in love with him again.
