I stopped and pressed the frozen peas harder on his crotch.

He looks down at me in pain, hissing.

I’ve been staring at Aiden for the longest as he barked over the phone. When he was done, he loosened his tie and without looking over at me he mumbled.

“Your past is being erased.”

My brows furrowed and I place the cup down on the counter. “What?”

He looks over at me, slinging his tie on the couch. “I’ve hired someone to erase your past. Everything is squeaky clean. The media won’t know anything about you.”

I nod. “Except being a teen mom.”

He shrugged. “That’s something you can’t erase. They’ll do the math when they see him. Which they will at some point. I don’t plan to hide my son.”

I gnaw on my lips, looking away from him and let out a huge sigh. “We don’t have to introduce him to this kind of world yet right?” I asked nervously.

Ashton was still a little kid. He wasn’t even three years old yet. He was not ready for this kind of world yet.

Aiden looked at me intensely. “We’ll go on your own terms mama bear.” He said honestly and the relief I felt when I heard those words was out of this world.

I nod, smiling thankfully.
