The child suddenly rushes forward joyfully and hugs Alex's thigh, calling him dad with an excited expression.
All the people around are astonished.
Joey walks up to the child like an elder sister. She wants to touch the child's head, but he still wears the dirty hat so Joey withdraws her hand.
She says, "I know you haven't found your parents for too long, so you are very eager to find them. But you can’t regard any two persons you just met as your parents, your real parents will be angry."
However, the child shakes off Joey's hand and stubbornly holds Alex. "You are my dad. I often see your photos in my mother's room."
Alex is also surprised. Since he met Miya six years ago, there has been only Miya in his heart. No other woman has affection with him. How can he have such a son?
"Kid, you are mistaken."
Alex's statement completely arouses the child's anger. "I know your name is Alex, and your most loved one is my mother."
"You are talking nonsense. My dad loves my mom best." Joey becomes angry. What he said makes her out of control.
"Kid, who is your mom?" Miya forces herself to calm down. Over the years, Alex's so-called favorite is only one person. If the name is wrong, then the child is wrong too.
"My mom's name is Susan. I know my dad sent many people to find my mom before, but my mom took me to hide from them."
The child's word makes Miya look awkward.
"Boy, what are you talking about?" Alex frowns. "I didn't have children with Susan, let alone a son at your age."
The child drops his head. Alex thinks he has figured it out, but the boy adds, "My mom said earlier that my dad is a fickle person, so she told me not to look for him, but why? Why can you become my dad's wife as a mistress and take these three children with you, but his real girlfriend's child is an illegitimate child?"
The child's words are too mature, which makes Miya feel a little suspicious, but when she glances the three children on the edge, she instantly gives up the idea flashing by.
Ben says unhappily, "This guy must be insane. He has a mental disease. Why you led him into our house." Finally, he points at Joey and Andre and scolds them.
Although Joey feels wronged, she also admits having done wrong.
Suddenly, the doorbell rings again. Joey opens the door in order to escape from the battlefield, but when the door is opened, she wants to close it at once.
"Hello, is Alex at home?" The woman looks very kind, but Joey shuts down the door when she is on the halfway of her self-proclaimed impeccable opening remarks. She reaches out to stop it and her finger is clipped by the doorframe, causing her to scream out.
"Mom." The child rushes to the door and holds the woman in his arms. He blows at her finger,“Mom, is it hurt?"
