Chapter 757 Heather Celebrates The Birthday Of Stanley
Stanley nodded and followed Maggie to where Carlene and Alex were.
Meanwhile, Carlene, hurt by Alex’s aloofness, was thinking of a way to have a proper conversation with
him.
Just as she was about to speak, a gorgeous woman walked up with Stanley and squeezed in between them, pushing her away slightly.
Carlene was taken aback. Then, the beautiful woman remarked out of the blue, “Stanley, why don’t you play with this lady for a while? It looks like she doesn’t have anyone to talk to and could use some company!”
“Okay!” the boy replied as he took Carlene by the hand. “I’ll keep you company, miss.”
With that, he led the flabbergasted Carlene away from the scene. But I was just about to have a talk with Alex! Maggie snuck a grudging look at Alex before feigning an aggrieved look and complained. “Hmph! I was busy looking after your child, and here you were talking to another woman. You’re horrible.”
“You’ve gotten the wrong idea,” Alex explained instinctively. “Ms. Bolton and I share nothing more than a professional relationship.”
Maggie chuckled in response while stroking her chin. “Did you explain yourself because you were afraid I’d get jealous? In that case, I won’t be jealous.”
Alex was at a loss as to how to respond.
Just then, his phone rang.
Heather? Well, I guess it’s no surprise. It is Stanley’s birthday, after all. If Heather did not even bother with a phone call on her own son’s birthday, Alex would only deem her less fitting as the boy’s mother.
“Alex! It’s Stanley’s birthday today, but I suppose you’ve totally forgotten that. I’ve gotten him a birthday cake, so bring him here!” Heather demanded.
She figured that someone as irresponsible as Alex would never take the initiative to buy their son a birthday cake.
In spite of her assumptions and tone, Alex was not mad. At least she got him a cake.
Stanley’s having a lot of fun here. Why don’t you come over here to celebrate his birthday?” he asked.
Heather hung up immediately. This guy is hopeless! He forgot to prepare a cake, and now he even wants me to bring it over!
Her treatment toward Alex worsened due to Carmen and Lucas badmouthing him all day. The more nasty things she heard of the man, the more she regarded him as good-for-nothing trash.
