Arnold smiled, though a flicker of something unreadable passed through his gaze. "She's probably busy."

“Let's not bother her,” he continued. “How about Daddy takes you out to dinner tonight?"

Alex's face brightened. "Can we invite Aunt Linda too?"

Arnold nodded, ruffling his hair. "Good idea."

Most had only heard whispers of Arnold's heir, but now that they had seen Alex with their own eyes, speculation spread like wildfire.

"He's been hiding a child all this time?" one murmured to another.

"Was he secretly married?"

"If so, why hasn't he introduced the mother?"

Their unspoken questions hung in the air, but Arnold remained indifferent to their curiosity. He had no obligation to explain himself.
