Chapter 48: Resemblance
"Dom... I had no idea... you have a son?! How long have you been keeping this from us? And who is the mother?"
Ashton could see the uncanny resemblance between Aaron and Dominique. Aaron’s face was a spitting image of Dominique’s young self.
Meanwhile, Aaron and Dominique exchanged glances with one another. Then they gave Ashton a strange gaze.
"Do I really look like his son?" Aaron asked Ashton with an innocent look in his eyes. "By the way, I’m Aaron." He flashed a friendly smile, greeting Ashton politely.
Ashton, still a bit flustered, nodded vigorously. "You are a child version of him!" He pointed his finger at Dominique.
The young boy’s giggle bubbled up inside the music store. "Amazing! That only means... When I grow up I will also be as handsome as Mr. Dominique. I will be a fine man like him."
"Eh? Mr. Dominique? Why are you calling your father, Mister?" Ashton asked, staring at them confusedly.
Dominique could only sigh while shaking his head helplessly. "Your imagination is running wild."
"By the way, Aaron, this is my friend, Ashton." He introduced them to each other. "This young boy got separated from his Uncle and his sister while strolling through the mall. Now, we have to find them," He explained Aaron’s situation.
"Really?" Ashton refused to believe his explanation. "Is he not your son? The two of you look alike! Don’t deny it, Bro. No need to keep this a secret. Who is the mother?" Ashton continued eyeing Dominique suspiciously.
Dominique facepalmed because of Ashton’s stubbornness. On the other hand, Aaron let out another soft giggle.
"Mr. Dominique is telling the truth. How I truly wish he was my father." Aaron supported Dominique’s claim, correcting Ashton’s assumption.
