Chapter 0634

‘Well, I don’t, Serenity. My life changed completely when found out I was going to be a father. One day I was a broke kid, and the next, I was managing absurd sums of money, getting paid, and changing diapers.

“Sorry…” Serenity murmured, her tone softening.

“Sorry… what?” Alden asked, raising an eyebrow.

“I didn’t mean for it to come out like that. It sounded so insensitive…”

“Well, yeah, it kind of hurt my feelings. A lot, actually.‘

“Really?” Serenity said, genuinely concerned.

“No! I’m kidding. You should’ve seen your face,” Alden replied, chuckling.

“Alden! Don’t joke about that.”

“You did the same thing to me earlier, and I didn’t say anything‘

“It’s not the same! Not the same at all.”

“Of course, it is. Anyway, since you’re so curious, what else do you want to know about me?”

“I was just making conversation! I wasn’t prying into your life…”

“Sure. ”

“Let’s order. I’m starving, and people are starting to give us weird looks.”

“Agreed. What are you having?”

Serenity signaled the waitress, and they placed their orders. While waiting, their conversation shifted to lighter topics. Time slipped away as they chatted, and before they knew it, it was 6:00 p.m. The meal had turned into dinner, and after a few beers, the atmosphere between them had grown noticeably more relaxed. By 6:30 p.m., Alden decided it was time to take Serenity home.

“Thanks, Serenity,” Alden said as they got into the car. “It’s been a long time since I had such a great afternoon.”
