Chapter 88 Going Home 

After leaving Happy Living restaurant, Alex saw that Flynn brought along his gang to personally take the seven or eight goons he had defeated

Flynn did not notice him, nor did he bother to greet him anyway

away 

Seeing how the incensed Flynn reprimanded his men, he believed that those stupid goons would not be spared

After Flynn and his entourage left the scene, he got into his own car. He took off his mask, stored it in a secret compartment, and finally drove home

When he got home, he saw Heather eyeing him with indifference

Where were you last night? Why didn’t you come home?Heather asked Alex icily

They have not even gotten divorced, yet Alex had already started staying out late for godknowswhat. What did he take her for

Heather was resentful. The whole night she had tried to reach him, yet Alex had not once answered his phone. Surely he must be fooling around, or be involved in some illicit tryst

Or else why would he ignore her calls

What infuriated her more was that even during the daytime, Alex had not replied to a single message she had sent

Just as Alex was about to defend himself, little Stanley ran out excitedly from his room

Daddy! I want to go to the playground tomorrow! Quinn and her friends called me a bumpkin because I’ve never been to a playground before! They don’t even let me play with them anymore!Stanley looked at Alex expectantly with two eyes full of childish anticipation

Okay, daddy will bring you to the playground tomorrow,Alex assuaged as he picked up Stanley, all the while feeling guilty for neglecting his son

For the past few years, he had kept himself lowprofile, living a lowkey life for personal reasons. Only once in a blue moon had he ever brought Stanley to the amusement park. Perhaps it was time to accompany his growing boy out to play more

Yay! Quinn will be there tomorrow too! I want to play with her,” quipped Stanley happily

Alex could not help but smiled. His own son, since young, loved to play with other girls and disliked hanging out with boys. He wondered if that would affect his character development

For this, Alex felt that he needed to pay more attention to his growing son so that Stanley would not grow up to be a sissy boy. It would be too late then

Mommy, I want you to come along too, okay? You also have not played with me for a long time.” Stanley pleaded with his eyes as he looked innocently at Heather

Although her heart was still filled with anger towards Alex, having gazed into the anticipation radiating from her son’s eyes, Heather’s heart softened instantly

Sure. Mommy will take you out to play tomorrow,replied Heather with a smile escaping her lips

Stanly struggled to reach into Heather’s embrace, so Alex passed him over

Mommy, you are the best!Stanley rubbed Heather’s cheeks. It had been a long while since both dad and mum brought him out to play, and for that, he was filled with childlike glee

Well then, come give mommy a kiss,” said Heather happily

Muah!” 

The child gladly gave Heather a peck on her cheek

Witnessing this heartwarming scene, Alex tried to explain his side of the story to Heather. Last night I was out drinking with Dylan. I got too drunk to drive, hence I slept over at his place.”
