Aiden was all over the moon from her kiss, his earlobe turned red in shyness. He nuzzled in her neck and held her tightly. He looked up from her neck and stuck out his tongue at his father.

What if she rides along with his father in his car? He is the one who got her kiss first. His nose is about to soar into the sky from smugness.

Siren, who noticed the departing SUV, asked Raven," Are they your people who rescued him?"

Raven remained silent, his gaze shifted from her to his son whose eyes flashed. He timidly shook his head at him. 

"They are," he confirmed her doubt. 

But Siren looked at him in suspicion, "Then why did you bring me to the restaurant?" 

Raven lips form a sexy arc as he replied, "Would you come willingly if I ask for a date?"

She clenched her teeth tightly, shooting him a piercing glare. Setting Aiden down, she spoke firmly, "I'll pick you up after school tomorrow. Don't wander around, alright?" She tousled his hair affectionately.

With one last scowl directed at Raven, she revved her bike and departed.

Once she was out of sight, father and son exchanged silent daggers.

"You took her out for dinner!" Aiden spat at his father.

"Why? Don't tell me you're itching for a date with me," Raven responded, devoid of any enthusiasm.

"Who'd want that?" Aiden's face twisted in disgust at the mere thought of spending time near his father, whose arms felt as solid as stone. He wants to spend his time in the soft and fragrance arm of his angel. No his soon to be mother.

Raven glanced at his son, who smiled like a silly person and wondered what evil thought this brat had been cooking in his mind.

"How did you slip away from Antonio?" he inquired, his curiosity piqued.

He had already traced his son's whereabouts with the aid of contacts from the Red Queen. Discovering that Antonio was behind his son's abduction he eased as he knew Antonio was no match for him. 

Moreover, he knew his son's knack for mischief; even without his intervention, Aiden would find a way to outwit the old man's grasp.

What he didn't expect was the sudden appearance of Siren. Being a man who never let an opportunity slip by, he promptly instructed his secretary to reserve the entire restaurant and arrange for her favourite dishes, devising an unannounced date.

He couldn't ignore the fury simmering in her eyes when he mentioned they had arrived at the wrong place, almost as if she wished to plunge a dagger into him and drain every last drop of his blood. How adorable!

"I threatened him with a photo of his mistress," Aiden stated calmly

Raven arched an eyebrow inquisitively.

Aiden shrugged, adding, "His wife doesn't know the name or address of his current mistress. I struck a deal with him: if he sent me back, I promised to hand over the evidence."

"You seem to know quite a bit for a four-year-old," Raven sighed.

Aiden scoffed, retorting, "Well, I am Aiden Grey after all. Shouldn't I live up to my name?"

Raven picked up his son against his protest and spanked him in the butt.

"Stop that. I'm not a child anymore," Aiden protested, squirming in his father's grasp.

"You're four, so act like one," Raven replied, ignoring his struggles as he carried him inside the mansion.

Meanwhile, Alex had been anxiously awaiting news about Aiden. Upon hearing the sound of the bike, he dashed out of the garage and hurried toward Siren.

"Did you find him? Is he okay? Who kidnapped him?" he fired off questions one after another.

Taking a deep breath, Siren responded, "He's safe. Mr. Grey's people rescued him."

Alex's anxiety subsided upon hearing that his little fireball is safe, but he couldn't shake the concern about the potential trauma the boy might face from the ordeal. He resolved to take him to Paopao's restaurant the next day to help him distract from the recent events.

Of course, he assured himself, he was doing it solely for the boy's well-being, not out of any selfish motives. After all, it has been just seven hours forty minutes five seconds since he met her. 

Yes, it was purely for the boy's sake! Alex nodded to himself, patting his chest in affirmation of his selflessness.

"That's good. Let's go eat," he urged Siren.

"I already did," she replied casually, locking the garage shed.

"Don't tell me you had dinner at Grey's mansion?" Alex narrowed his eyes suspiciously.

"Nope" she replied promptly.

Alex let out a sigh of relief and broke into a wide smile. Thank heavens, his daughter was finally listening to his advice.

"I went on a dinner date with Mr. Grey," she dropped the bombshell on Alex. His smile froze, feeling as if a heavy storm had passed over his head.

Before he could respond, she accelerated her bike and headed toward her house.

"Did... did she say she went on a date with that Raven boy? Nah, I must be hearing things. That must be it," he consoled himself but the trembling of his hands gave him away.
