"Mom, who's she," Alex asked, as he looked at Silas with a lot of emotions for a kid that's ten years of age, before lowering his head to look at his clenched fist.
Silas sighed when he heard Alex's question. Alex's thoughts were unknown to him but he was very familiar with the emotions he saw in his eyes, as he has felt the same emotions for a very long time.
'This is going to be tough,' He thought to himself.
Silas didn't know how to go about it. Should he just tell Alex the identity of his mother? What if he asks more questions?
He thought about it for a moment and decided to answer all of Alex's questions honestly, to the best of his ability. He felt that Alex deserves at least that much.
'Dad, you're the one who's supposed to be here, answering his questions.' Silas said to himself, internally and let out an inaudible sigh, as he looked at Alex.
