“You’re not buying this, are you? Please tell me you’re not”

He gaveso rude I wanted to scratch his eyes out too then

“Where is Mark? I hope the two of you haven’t been sniping at each other in front of hi my question

“He’s watching television, I’ll get him,” Cecile said “And you know me, Aiden I would never raise my voice in front of Mark” She looked at one into the other room, I looked at my husband

“You’ve been seeing her?”

“I’ve been seeing Mark,” he said

“It’s the sa, Aiden Why didn’t you tell me?” Before he answered, the little boy ran into the rooed him

He swung him around and said, “I’m so happy to see you, Sport!” He hadn’t even looked at Eric

I took my own son and went back into the kitchen to finish dinner A few minutes later, Aiden came in

“Hey Buddy! How’s daddy’s little man?” The baby squealed and smiled and reached out for him I put him in Aiden’s arms reluctantly

“Are we going to talk about…that?” I pointed towards the other room

“We’ll talk about it, after they leave,” he said “I don’t want to talk about any of this in front of Mark He’s confused as it is already”

“That’s fine; I don’t want to upset him either But, you and I have a lot to talk about Dinner’s alo now,” I told hi to be firm

He was playing with Eric and he didn’t answer me When I bent down to take the roast out of the oven, he left the roo a pot or two, I finished ot back to the other roo with Eric’s toys They looked like a happy fary that made me It was also obvious that Aiden hadn’t told Cecile that it was time to leave

I cleared my throat and Aiden looked up at me

“Maybe we should say goodnight now, dinner is ready”
