Chapter 828
Can you believe they actually agreed?
Our guess? Ms. Gonzalez’s boyfriend must’ve greased their palms pretty well for them to sell Aiden off like that!
On one hand, we couldn’t stand Aiden’s folks for what they did, but on the other, we were kinda happy for Aiden. Ms. Gonzalez is a gem, after all. With her, Aiden was sure to dodge the beatings and live the good life.
But then, just when Ms. Gonzalez was about to whisk Aiden away, disaster struck!
For reasons unknown, Aiden was like a ticking time bomb that day. He went berserk and even bit Ms. Gonzalez’s boyfriend’s hand.
His folks had been rough on him, but he never lashed out, never even cried out loud. Yet, that day, he completely lost it p>
Lowell couldn’t help but interject,
“Did something trigger him that day p>
Tyler was just as puzzled,
“Nothing out of the ordinary, as far as I can remember. Ms. Gonzalez and her boyfriend came over to pick him up, and Aiden seemed pretty stoked when he stepped out of the house. But then, out of nowhere, he just snapped, bit the guy, and with eyes ablaze, he ran back inside, refusing to leave p>
Tarquin chimed in, “Who all were there at the scene p>
“Just Ms. Gonzalez and her boyfriend, Aiden’s folks, and us p>
“He only bit Ms. Gonzalez’s boyfriend p>
“Yeah, Aiden was like possessed, grabbed Ms. Gonzalez’s hand to pull her aside. Her boyfriend probably tried to hold him, and wham, got a nasty bite. Drew blood and everything.
We couldn’t pry him off for the life of us, until Ms. Gonzalez sternly called out his name. That’s when he let go.
After releasing his grip, he just stared at Ms. Gonzalez with those teary, pitiful eyes, then turned and ran back home.” Tarquin frowned, asking,
“Was that his first time meeting Ms. Gonzalez’s boyfriend p>
“Yep, first time. Ms. Gonzalez’s boyfriend only showed up in the last few days, talked adoption details with Aiden’s folks in private. They only introduced him to Aiden on the day they were supposed to leave p>
Hearing this, Tarquin’s expression grew even more somber, p>
Tyler continued,
“After Aiden ran back inside, Ms. Gonzalez followed him. It was quite a while before she came back out, saying Aiden wanted to think it over and that they’d come back for him the next day. And so, they left the next day p>
Lowell was surprised, “They left the next day? Did Aiden go with Ms. Gonzalez then p>
“Yeah, we were up early for the farm work, didn’t get back till the afternoon. When we returned, we heard Aiden’s folks ranting about how ungrateful he was, leaving without saying goodbye after all they’ve done for him, calling him an ingrate p>
“He left without saying goodbye p>
“That’s what his folks said p>
“So, you’re not sure if Aiden actually left with Ms. Gonzalez p>
“We’re certain. We didn’t see it ourselves that day, but Aiden came back to visit a few years ago. We asked him, and he said he did leave with Ms. Gonzalez.
He mentioned being upset with his birth parents, which is why he left quietly. He also said that ever since he went with Ms. Gonzalez, he’s never been hit again. Ms. Gonzalez treated him well, loved him a lot p>
Lowell: Clearly, that was a lie.
Soren had already confirmed that Elizabeth never successfully adopted Aiden. He never left with them at all.
