Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 396: The Gun In Aiden’s Hand

Once inside the room, Serena sat on the couch calmly as she looked at Alexander. "He had to choose Aiden."

"At least he agreed to some compromise," Alexander said as he sat next to her. "With both kids here, it would’ve been truly difficult to take them away."

Serena could only hum and said with worry, "But until we plan our escape, Aiden will be here, and I’m worried about what might happen to him during that time. I can’t keep him here—not with your father."

"I’ll be with Aiden and take care of him," Alexander assured.

Serena shook her head. "Looking at your father, I can tell he won’t even let you be around your son." She sighed helplessly and buried her face in her palms. "Aiden can do anything when provoked, and I don’t know what your father will make him do. I can’t keep him here."

"Then, I’ll stay in place of Aiden, Mom," a little voice said.

The parents looked toward the bed, where the little boy, Aaron, was sitting up. He seemed to have heard everything.

"Aaron?" Serena mumbled and rushed to him. Aiden was still in a deep sleep due to the medicine.

"Mom, I’ll stay here as Aiden till you come back for me," Aaron assured. "No one can tell the difference between us, and I’m used to acting like Aiden when needed. Remember? We’ve done it before. You taught us to never let anyone know who is who, and we’ve always followed it."

Serena had taught her sons to never let anyone tell them apart, and both kids were skilled at it. Occasionally, only Aiden would reveal his identity due to his anger issues—but those were rare moments.

She sat on the bed and hugged him. "I know. But it’s dangerous here—unlike in your school or outside. I love you both equally, and I don’t want either of you in danger. If that man finds out you’re not Aiden..."

Aaron looked up at her. "Mom, trust me. I promise I won’t let him know. If Aiden stays here, it won’t be good for him. I’m the elder brother, but I won’t be able to protect him if I’m not with him. It’ll break my promise to you."

Serena helplessly looked at her son, who suddenly seemed like he had grown up overnight.

"Mom, trust me."

She looked at Alexander, who said, "Let’s do it."

Serena looked at both her sons with worried eyes. They would have to talk about it again once Aiden was awake.
