Chapter 6 - Chapter 6

Was Edward Kyle's son or was he the son of a neighbour, who am i kidding he just called him dad,that means Kyle was the irresponsible father ,he really did look alot like Edward.

"Aunt its really you ,did you come to see me?"Edward asked me innocently , am still speechless over the fact that Kyle is Edward's father but i will deal with that later.

"actually i came here to see Alexa because she is my friend i didn't know you lived here"i said looking down at him , he looked so innocent which made me calm down ,he smiled at me which showed his cute little dimples just like his father's

Alexa tapped me making me remove my attention from Edward and direct it to her "how do you know him?" she asked i then turned my eyes to Kyle who was looking at me with expecting eyes.

Taking a deep breath i asked Edward and Alexa if they could leave me with Kyle for a while which they did without questioning, i knew i was going to tell Alexa about this later but right now Its Kyle i need to talk to.

After they left i glared at Kyle immediately i would have never imagined he could be the irresponsible father i've been wanting to give a peace of my mind too.

He noticed my glare at him and looked confused "why are you staring at me like that" i snickered at his comment which made him look more confused than he already was.

"Last week you were at the park right?" i asked "yes" he replied curtly ,before i could ask another question he beat me to it "what is this about?" i clenched my fist at what he just asked he really has nerves to ask me such a question but i wouldn't let my anger get the best of me.

I smiled at him and immediately frowned which by the looks of it freaked him out "whats wrong just tell me what you want to tell me your frown is giving me goosebumps"

"you really want to know what am thinking about you right now?" i asked calmly though it was otherwise on the inside "of course i do" he looked really curious as to what i was saying

"you lost Edward at the park" i stated "excuse me?" he instantly asked ,okay this guy is really getting on my nerves if not for the fact he had deep and cute dimples like Edward's which i could have noticed before but didn't i definitely would have punched him.

"you lost Edward at the park"i repeated before continuing "last week i went to the park and i was on my way home then a little boy approached me and guess who he was? your son Edward yes it was Edward , how could you leave him alone in the park all alone what if he approached some bad people or even worse what if he had an accident how were you going to handle it ,honestly that was very irresponsible of you and i have been wanting to give you a piece of my mind for a long time ,you didn't even care to ask who found him is this how you always neglect your son you should-"

"Stop!!!" Kyle shouted which made me flinch alittle before i gained my stance back who does he think he is to shout at me if anything i should be the one shouting at him i was about to do so before he spoke this time calmly "Yes i left Edward at the park which was very careless of me but i had to-" hearing him giving a reason annoyed me "had to what huh? atleast you should have taken him with you"

He took a deep breath then ran his fingers through his hair "i made a mistake okay and am sorry but making a mistake like that does not warrant you to call me irresponsible or say i neglected my son"

I chuckled at his little speech"wow don't you have any shame in you, why are you trying to defend yourself in something you are clearly at fault at?" maybe i shouldn't have said he was neglectful and irresponsible but i don't see any reason on why he should defend himself.

"Maybe if you would just let me explain then you would not be shouting at me" he gave me look that meant i shouldn't interrupt whatever he was saying which made me to huff and turn my head away from his direction.

"the day i lost Edward at the park was an event that scared me and Its a mistake i would never repeat again,actually that day my ex wife called asking for some money i didn't have and threatened to take Edward away from me which i couldn't allow so out of anger i left the park to go give her the money completely forgetting about Edward the one i was actually trying protect"

He looked like he was on the brink of breaking down which made the anger in me die down ,i didn't know why but i immediately pulled him into a hug to which he returned back, i was so blinded by anger that i didn't ask why he did what he did and now i feel so bad.

He pulled away from the hug and wiped the little tears from his eyes "Am so sorry i shouldn't even be crying" this made me feel more bad than i thought i was " no i should be the one telling you sorry i said all those bad words to you without thinking i feel so terrible right now i didn't even know what you were going through i just jumped into conclusions which was very wrong of me"

He gave a small smile to me before saying "Its okay i was also at fault for leaving Edward i don't know what would have happened if you hadn't found him thank you so much am sorry i didn't say it earlier"

He is such a nice person why did i think otherwise "you are welcome ,but why were you in an hurry that day?" he smiled again this time showing his dimples "i was just so happy to see Edward and i didn't want to stay in the park any much longer"

I nodded understanding where he was coming from "so we are good now?" he asked with a hopeful smile ,it should actually be the other way around i should be asking but nevertheless i smiled and nodded at his question which caused him to smile showing his cute dimples which have grown a huge liking to.
