“Dad, Dad, you’re finally here…

Aiden’s voice caught Julian’s attention. He released Ashley and, seeing Aiden’s situation, felt his heart shatter.

“Aiden, I’m so sorry. I’m here now.” Julian, a grown man, nearly cried.

Aiden couldn’t hold back his tears either. Though he was happy to see his dad and aunt, he said, “Dad, Aunt Valerie, I can’t get down.

Julian quickly reassured him. “Aiden, don’t cry. I’m coming”

The track wasn’t too high, and Julian could easily reach the bottom. However, the steps were narrow, barely enough for one foot at a time, and they looked too fragile to support an adult’s weight. This was why Ashley, although furious, had only dared to strike at Aiden with a branch from below rather than climb up herself.

Julian was about to climb up when Valerie stopped him. “No, Julian, you’re too heavy. If you go up, it won’t hold, and both of you might fall. I’ll go.”

Pushing Julfan aside, Valerie took a deep breath and began to climb. I am lighter, so maybe the track could hold me… Julian panicked. Valerie was pregnant, and if something happened, he couldn’t bear the thought

Before he could stop her, Valerie was already climbing up, carefully making her way. Julian’s heart was in his throat as rushed to position himself below her, ready to catch her if she fell.

Aiden, seeing her approach, got anxious. “Aunt Valerie, be careful. Aunt Valerie…

the

Just then, Valerie’s foot slipped. She almost missed a step, her heart pounding in her chest. It’s a close call!‘ she wondered. Aiden’s cries from above spurred Valerie on. She quickly looked up to reassure him. “Aiden, don’t be scared. I’m here…”

“Aunt Valérie, be careful…”

“It’s okay. I am an adult. I can protect you. Just stay still until I get there. Valerie smiled, but her back was drenched in cold

sweat.

Though the height wasn’t too much was still six or seven feet, and the old, shaky track was in dire need of repair. She had to be extremely cautious with every step she took.

Fortunately, Aiden hadn’t climbed too far in, and Valerie finally reached his side, trembling as she embraced Aiden. Aiden sank into the familiar arms, and his tears once again broke through like a flood, crying out loud.

He had really almost thought that he would never see his dad and aunt again in this life.

Aiden clung tightly to Valerie, expressing his decision. “Aunt Valerie, I don’t want to be with my mom anymore. I want to be with Dad and you. Mom wants to sneak me away. I won’t go! I won’t!”

Valerie nodded with heartache. If it weren’t for the hurt and disappointment, how could a child be forced to such an extent?

However, down below, Ashley saw Aiden’s attitude toward Valerie and Julian, completely different from the one toward her, and was already grashing her teeth in anger. “You ungrateful brat. I raised you for nothing. You are a bastard, just like Valerie. You’re not even born by her…”

Julian was furious. “Ashley, shut your mouth.”

“I won’t!” Ashley came to secretly take Aiden away, but Aiden almost angered her to death. Now that Valerie, Julian, and

others had all arrived, and even the police were behind, she knew she was definitely out of the game.

But she was unwilling to accept it.

Seeing Valerie actually performing affectionately with her son up there, and Aiden even said he didn’t want her as a mother anymore, her anger burned fiercely. Since the branch was broken by Valerie, she took the opportunity to pick up a stone and throw it at Valerie..

Clang!

The stone grazed Aiden’s cheek and hit the track behind him, startling him. Valerie quickly hugged him. “Don’t be afraid. I’m here.

Anger surged in Ashley’s heart, but she didn’t act at this time. However, Ashley picked up another stone and threw it again. With a thud, this time the stone hit Aiden’s head, and he immediately started crying.

Valerie quickly embraced him. “Aiden, it’s okay. I will take you down.”

Ashley laughed maniacally, intent on continuing, but Julian had reached his limit and pinned her to the ground. “Dare you to lay a hand on my son again.”

Julian covered her mouth, but Ashley tried to bite him. Julian’s face turned pale with rage, and the amusement park security and police quickly intervened to separate them.

Ashley was pushed aside by the security guard, still defiantly shouting. “I gave birth to him, so what if I hit him? No matter what, I’m his mother.”

While they were entangled, Valerie finally, with great care, held Aiden and slowly climbed down. By the time they reached the bottom, Aiden was terrified, with a bright red mark on his forehead.

Upon hearing Ashley’s arrogant voice, Valerie’s eyebrows twitched fiercely. She placed Aiden aside and asked the amusement park staff to take care of him. Then, without a word, she rushed up, grabbed Ashley’s hair, and slapped Ashley’s face with a resounding slap.

Slap!

The slap sent Ashley’s head lurching to the side, her ears ringing

Furious, Ashley exclaimed. “Valerie, how dare you hit me…”

What she received in response was another two slaps.

It was crisp and loud.
