Two Times the Charm

Chapter 17

However, Aiden quickly snapped back to reality. He realized this must be Alex, the person his mother used to mention. But he didn’t expect Alex to show up at the doorstep of his home.

“Wow, you really look like me! No wonder everyone in your house mistook me for you!”

Alex was staring at Aiden with his curious wide eyes. Even though he knew he had a half–brother after arriving here, he was still shocked to see a face exactly like

his

“We’re identical twins, so of course we look alike.”

In contrast, Aiden seemed very calm, his slightly wrinkled face was just like Emmett’s.

“Huh? How do you know we’re identical twins?” Alex still blinked his big eyes curiously.

“Did you sneak out from my house?” Aiden, seeing Alex wearing pajamas, glanced at the mansion but didn’t answer his question.

“Yes!” Alex nodded dumbly.

“So, are you planning for us to just stand here and talk?”

“Then where should we go?” Alex pouted his lips, grabbed Aiden’s hand, and walked towards a side path. “Can we talk here? You haven’t answered my question yet. When did you know we were identical twins?”

“Whenever you found out was when I did.”

Alex gave him a sidelong glance, feeling a bit unhappy. What kind of answer was that? “Why are you as cold as your dad?” He pouted, clearly dissatisfied.

“Do you dislike him too?” Aiden asked calmly. “Him,” of course, referred to Emmett. He calmly looked at Alex and said, “You and your mom look alike.”

Both were very lively. Standing beside this identical twin brother who suddenly emerged, Aiden didn’t feel any disgust.

“Have you seen my mom?” Alex’s little eyes were filled with curiosity, and his longing for his mom deepened.

“Mm–hmm.”

“My mom is the best, unlike your dad who always forces me to study and doesn’t let me eat anything! Who would like him?” Alex crossed his little arms, stubbornly tilting his head. “My mom is the best!” Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“She is indeed very good….” Aiden’s face was still calm, but he had a sense of appreciation towards Clara in his heart. “It would be even better if she didn’t feed me so much junk food!”

He rubbed his little belly, feeling a little uncomfortable.

“Who do you think is the older brother?” Alex suddenly blinked his big eyes curiously.

“I’m the older one.” Aiden was very serious and very firm.

“How do you know? Maybe I’m older!” Alex pouted, not wanting to be outdone.

“Alright, let’s not discuss this today. We both sneaked out, and if we don’t go back soon, we’ll definitely be found out. Here’s my phone number! Memorize it, and we’ll get in touch after we get back.”

Aiden’s expression changed slightly, and he changed the subject. He wasn’t sure who the older brother was, but if they were indeed twins, he thought his intelligence

would make him the older one.

“Okay, I’ll give you my number too, but. Alex’s face suddenly became serious.

“What’s wrong?”

“I’m too far from home, there doesn’t seem to be any transportation to take me home, and I don’t have any money… Mum didn’t give me any pocket money.”

Alex lowered his head, looking a bit depressed. His longing for Clara made him feel a bit emotional.

“Here you go.” Aiden took a hundred–dollar bill from his pocket and handed it to him. I’ll call a cab for you. When you get home, remember to sneak in. Mom should still be working in the study at this time and may not have noticed that I’m gone. Let me know when you get home.”

He gave Alex a lot of instructions, like an older brother.

“Okay, I got it. Thank you, temporary big brother….”

Alex gave a slight smile and glanced at the money in his hand. After all, he was in a strange environment and had to accept help. What was the harm in calling him big brother!
