Chapter 175 - I'm Not A Baby

Alex slowly opens his eyes and scanning around the room. It is spacious than a normal hotel room and it doesn't have any vibe for a hotel room at all. He rubs his eyes a few times before he noticed that someone is lying beside him. It was Raymond.

He scrunched his eyebrows and blink his eyes a few times before he grunts a bit. "Where am I?" He murmurs and gets off of the bed. He looked around the penthouse and not long after he got an idea to where he is right now.

He currently in Raymond's penthouse with only he and that man staying here. Luckily he has his luggage with him and he glances on the hanging clock on the wall. It's now 6:30 am and he normally wakes up around this time.

He went to the bathroom and shower. When he walks out of the bathroom, he could smell delicious pancakes. He hurriedly wears his clothes and walks out of the bedroom.

"Morning, baby boy.." Raymond smiled at him when he sees Alex already get dressed. He was proud of him because he can take care of himself and getting ready by himself without needing help.

"I'm not a baby." Alex rolled his eyes and took a seat at the kitchen island stool. Looking at what his father cook for breakfast.

"You still a baby to me. God, I have a handsome baby boy and smart like me too." He chuckled and put down the plate on the table for his baby boy. He makes a pancake, bacon and scrambled eggs for him. While he just makes a simple sandwich and toast for himself.

"I agree with being handsome and smart, but I'm not a baby. I'm four years old and I'm nearly adult. Well, at least much more brainy than you." He murmured the last sentence when Raymond turn around and went to the fridge.

Raymond softly laughs at Alex's statement as he pours the juices into a glass before he passed it to him. "Well, because my baby boy is so smart, your papa will need your help then. Will you help me, my dear baby?"

Alex sighs. "What do you want me to do?" He forked the bacon and chew it slowly.

"Hmm.." Raymond tilted his head a little and says "Well, first...I need your opinion about us. Your mama wants us to divorce but I love her and I wanted both of you in my life. But, how about you?"

Alex stops chewing and drink his juices before he looked at his father. He is sure that Raymond is serious when he says that he loves his mother and wanted them to be together again. After hearing what really happened to them last time, his heart is at the tip of the horn. He doesn't know who's to choose.

"My opinion doesn't matter to both of you. It's your love life and I'm just a piece of baggage to you both." He lowered his head and forked another bite to eat.

Raymond dumbfounded a moment and shakes his head, "Why'd you think like that?" Raymond pats on his head before he continues again, "You never be a piece of baggage to both of us. Honestly, I was so happy that I know I have you."

Alex sighs again and looked at the plate blankly. "Well, I think...I don't mind if we're back together. I mean, I like Brian and Lily but I also don't hate you. You're just lost in the past few years and it's not your fault too."

Raymond smile and lift up his chin to look at him. "I knew my baby boy loves me too. I'm sorry for not be by your side all these years...if I knew the whole story earlier, I guess we won't end up like this."

"Hmm." Alex smiles faintly and continues to eat. Even though they both agree on getting a new life together, he knew his mother is not easy to sway her heart back. Her heart has been torn up and deeply wounded. It's hard for her to accept him back anyway.

Again, it's not his decision to make. It was his mother and all he can do is to accept it and conceal his feeling. "So, what's your plan?" He asked. Still wondering if his father really means it when he said that he wanted them back together.

Raymond scratches his head a little and squinting his eyes. "I still not having my memory back, so I lack knowledge of what your mother likes and don't..so, could you help me by telling me her preference and liking?"

Alex nodded his head. "Sure. It's an easy task."

...

Alex and Raymond wait at the lobby while waiting for Jamal to pick them up today. Since he had to go somewhere, he and Jamal will drop them first at the zoo and after they're done, they'll come back to fetch them.

While waiting, Raymond keeps taking note of what Luna likes and what she doesn't. He was pretty sure Luna is not as hard as other women. She simply liking simple things and it made him easy to plan on hitting on her again. Well, even though the chance to success is less than 10%.

After a few minutes, Jamal's car stop at the front of the building and Alex and Raymond immediately went to the car. When he opened the car door, he greets Luna with such a sweet smile on his face.

"Morning, love." Luna arched her eyebrows, surprised by his sweet greetings. She then turns to look at the man sitting beside her and the man also looks confused.

"Are you hitting on my fiance, Mr. Wayne?" He asked.

Grinning, Raymond said. "I'm not hitting on your so-called 'fiance', I just greet my wife good morning, right, love?" He winks at her which Luna gasps a bit.

Alex giggling and immediately went to the car seat for him to sit down. Lily's like always, not interested to know their 'adult' matter.

"Since when.."

"Ever since I know everything. And by the way, Mr. Lawrence, you should keep your nose out of my business." He cut Brian's word and before Brian could say something. Luna clearing her throat a bit.

"Ahem... that's enough you two. Ray-"

Chup! Raymond suddenly kisses her on the cheek.

"You look beautiful today." He compliments her and closes the door before he went back to the passenger seat at the front. As much as Jamal wanted to ask, he still seals his lips and waits until he sends all of them at the zoo entrance.

They arrive at their destination thirty minutes later and as they planned, Luna, Brian, Lily and Alex will spend their time at the zoo until noon and both of Jamal and Raymond need to go to the science academy.

"Alex," Raymond calls out his son and Alex walk to him. Bend down, Raymond whispered to him."I'll be back later, you take care of my wife from that man's hands okay? Tell me if he tries to do anything to my wife."

Alex rolled his eyes. "Ugh...he always with Mama and Daddy's nice to her, better than you. So I really don't mind much if he tries to touch my Mama, you know."

Raymond widens his eyes to him, surprised that Alex backing up that guy. "Come on.. you're supposed to be on my team." He looks a bit sad, hoping that Alex will cooperate with him.

Grunting, Alex nods his head. "Fine...just because you're my biological father, I do this favor...and where are you gonna go, actually?"

Raymond satisfied with his reply and ruffles his hair. "Thanks, buddy... I'll reward you later." Raymond look around him before he whispered to him "I'm going to fetch up the DNA report."

Alex nods his head. "Okay..see you later." He said and runs to Luna when she calls him.

Raymond stands up and waves his hands to Alex and avert his eyes to the women who stare at him from afar. He smiles sweetly to her before he turns around and went back to the car.

"Let's go," Raymond said and Jamal drove the car from the zoo entrance. He already set a new address on the car GPS system and it seems like today will have more cars on the road.
