Later that evening, inside the old Emerson Residence, Edward happily continued spending time with Leo after the little boy finally agreed to stay over for the weekend.
For Edward, it felt like winning the lottery.
For Aaron?
It felt like suffering.
The entire evening, Aaron had been sitting on the sofa like a bitter abandoned house cat while watching his grandfather completely ignore his existence in favor of Leo.
And honestly, he was still upset.
Not only because Edward kept acting like he didn't exist—but also because he had missed the chance to boss Ivy around now that their ridiculous punishment was still ongoing.
Aaron had spent half the day imagining Ivy being forced to obey his every command.
Unfortunately, reality was cruel.
"So, Leo," Edward asked gently while handing the boy another cookie, "tell Gappy more about your mother. Is she a good person?"
The question instantly caught Aaron's attention.
He nearly choked on his juice.
