No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 648

Aiden's parents were taken aback by my question, then looked at me with a mix of confusion and fear. "Who are you?"

It seemed they didn't recognize me, though I was sure we had met before.

Maybe their memory was fading because of their age.

"I'm... a friend of Aiden's," I lied, fearing that revealing my true identity would prevent me from seeing the child. "I heard he had a child and just wanted to come by and see how you all were doing."

The couple exchanged wary glances, clearly skeptical and uneasy about this unexpected visitor. "We don't know you, and Aiden hasn't mentioned having a friend like you," they replied, their guard up. It was good they were cautious; after all, you can never be too careful these days with all the scams around.

I offered a small, reassuring smile, trying to hand them the gifts I'd brought. "It's alright, I just came to see how you were. No other reason."

They refused to take anything from me. "We don't know you and aren't comfortable accepting this."

After saying that, they turned to leave.

I just stood there, letting them go, not wanting to freak them out more by tagging along.
