Chapter 75\u00a0<\/p>\n
Oliver\u2019s POV\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAiden, you investigated Mommy?\u201d 1 demanded, suddenly angry.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Aiden\u2019s face remained cold. \u201cWhy shouldn\u2019t I? However, I still can\u2019t figure out why you insist on calling Ms. Wright Mommy.\u201c\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing this, I felt smug. Of course he couldn\u2019t figure it out!\u00a0<\/p>\n
The truth about Mommy was something I\u2019d worked incredibly hard to discover from Grandma. Even with all of Sterling Design Group\u2019s resources, Aiden would never find out that secret!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Aiden narrowed his eyes. \u201cI collected several childhood photos of Ms. Wright and noticed that all three of us siblings share physical similarities with her. I strongly suspect that Ms. Wright is our mother. Therefore, I\u2019m arranging for DNA testing between myself and Ms.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wright.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I stared at him, my chest heaving with panic.\u00a0<\/p>\n
How could Aiden be so smart? How did he figure this out?\u00a0<\/p>\n
What could I do to throw him off? I absolutely couldn\u2019t let Cedar and Aiden reconnect as mother and son. If that happened, she wouldn\u2019t\u00a0<\/p>\n
love me as much anymore!\u00a0<\/p>\n
My eyes darted around frantically as I tried to think of a lie.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And this had to be kept secret from Daddy!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Aiden\u2019s voice was matter\u2013of\u2013fact. \u201cDon\u2019t forget\u2013we\u2019re all full siblings. Same parents. That means your mommy? She\u2019s our mommy too. You\u00a0<\/p>\n
get that, right?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The words hit me like a truck.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Suddenly I could picture it all\u2013my brother and sister competing with me for Mommy\u2019s hugs, her bedtime stories, her kisses goodnight. There was only one Mommy, but three of us kids. That meant I\u2019d only get a tiny piece of her love!\u00a0<\/p>\n
N\u00a0<\/p>\n
o, no! This was too horrible!\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOliver, don\u2019t you want to live with Mommy legitimately?\u201d Aiden looked at me calmly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I struggled to focus. \u201cWhat do you mean?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf Cedar marries Daddy, then you can live with her forever, officially.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chapter 75\u00a0<\/p>\n
I stared at him in horror as new images filled my mind.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
:\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now Daddy was in the picture too! I might be able to compete against two siblings, but add Daddy to the mix, and I\u2019d lose Mommy\u00a0<\/p>\n
completely!\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo way! Absolutely not!\u201d I shook my head violently.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAiden, stop with these terrible ideas. If Mommy marries Daddy, do you think he\u2019d still let me sleep with her at night?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
4\u00a0<\/p>\n
Aiden\u2019s eyes widened. \u201cWhat? You\u2019ve been sleeping with her?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHmph! She brushes my teeth and gives me baths too. I\u2019ve even worn her clothes! And every night, she tells me bedtime stories that are a hundred times better than Charles\u2019s!\u201d I boasted proudly. \u201cDaddy is a big meanie. I don\u2019t want Cedar to marry him! If she\u2019s going to marry anyone, it should be me!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Aiden stared at me, seeming to sense something wasn\u2019t quite right\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
I grinned. \u201cAiden, if you want to hear Mommy\u2019s stories, come find me at Wicker Park. This is our secret\u2013don\u2019t tell Daddy, okay?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t tell me what?\u201d A deep, cold voice cut through the air behind us.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My smile died on my face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I gulped and spun around, forcing the most innocent grin I could manage. \u201cDaddy! You\u2019re home! I was just about to call you!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Daddy strolled in like he owned the world, shrugging off his suit jacket before settling onto the sofa.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His smile was ice\u2013cold. \u201cHave a nice little adventure? Finally decided to grace us with your presence?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I shot a look at Charles, who was suddenly very interested in his shoes and wouldn\u2019t meet my eyes. Traitor!\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDaddy, I was just following your instructions,\u201d I said nervously, sweat beading on my forehead. \u201cI\u2019m your most obedient child. You told me to come home, so I came! Hehe, Daddy, I\u2019ve been gone for so many days, I\u2019ve fallen behind on my studies. I should go to my room and catch up now-\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I tried to dash upstairs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Come back. Stand over there,\u201d Daddy pointed to the corner, his voice freezing with displeasure.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I shivered, looking to Aiden for help.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Aiden remained silent, clearly not planning to intervene.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fair enough\u2013I had run away for over two weeks. That was pretty irresponsible!\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chapter 75\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDaddy, 1\u2026 I know I was wrong\u2026\u201d I stood obediently in the corner, my voice starting to crack.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Daddy laughed coldly. \u201cYou know you were wrong, but you have no intention of changing, right?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I pressed my lips together, not answering.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I knew finding Mommy was wrong in Daddy\u2019s eyes, but I did it anyway and didn\u2019t regret it. Given another chance, I\u2019d do exactly the same\u00a0<\/p>\n
thing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
