Ethan picked Aiden up and carried him into the car. Clara had no choice but to follow along and get in too.
"Uncle Ethan, what are we gonna eat?"
As soon as they got in, Aiden asked excitedly.
This was his first time going out to eat with Uncle Ethan, after all.
"You'll see soon enough."
Ethan leaned back in his seat, eyes fixed outside the window. He looked detached, with that intimidating, don't-get-too-close kind of vibe.
Aiden instinctively shifted closer to Clara, feeling a little nervous.
Clara glanced at him, then at Ethan. She opened her mouth like she wanted to say something, then thought better of it.
Honestly, she'd just planned to take Aiden somewhere casual, get him something he liked.
Who'd have guessed Mr. Blackwell would show up out of nowhere.
