The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 106

Chapter 106 We’re Through, I Guess

A fit of dizziness forced Elias to lie down again. As he leaned back on his sickbed, panting, he sank into deep regret. Why was I so impulsive back then… Staring at his phone’s screen, he couldn’t help but dial Amanda’s number again and again, but he couldn’t get through to her at all. Blood stained his chin red, making him look even paler.

In the Galaxy Bay villa area, Amanda was bathing Aiden in the bathroom.

Aiden, on the other hand, had been studying her expression. He couldn’t help feeling that something was odd about his mother, for she spoke very little today. “Mommy, are you unhappy today?”

After hearing her son call her, she returned to her senses and summoned up a smile. “Hmm? No, I’m not. I’m just a bit tired from work, probably.” NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

“Oh… You should go to bed early, then. You don’t have to tell me bedtime stories tonight, Mommy. I can go to sleep by myself.”

Seeing how sensible her baby boy was, Amanda broke into a grateful smile. “What a good boy you are, Baby! Come on, stand up and dry yourself before we blow your hair dry.”

He stood up to let her towel him dry. After that, she wrapped him in his own little bathrobe and lifted him up in front of the bathroom sink.

Looking at her son’s little face, which resembled a certain man’s more and more, Amanda got a bit worried again deep down. Tentatively, she asked, “Baby, do you really want a father?” She knew how the father played a crucial role in the upbringing of a little boy, but she got thoroughly disappointed with Elias after today’s incident at her office. There was no way she would let her son return to the Winters Family.

Aiden fixed her with those adorable puppy eyes of his. For a long while, he didn’t say a word, as if there was something on his mind.

“What’s the matter? Just go ahead and say it.”

“Mommy, do you want me to tell the truth?”

“That’s of course. I don’t like kids who lie, so you have to tell the truth.” Amanda wiped the water droplets from Aiden’s hair.

Aiden pondered for a while. “I do wish to have a father, but if you don’t like it, then I don’t like it either. I just want you to be happy. Mommy.”

Amanda was at a loss for words. Although these words had been relayed to her by Selina before.

her heart still melted into a puddle when she heard her son say so himself. She sometimes thought it was a burden for a child so little to be this mature. Aren’t kids supposed to live a carefree life doing whatever they like? “Aiden Bailey”

“Huh?” Aiden was taken aback at suddenly hearing Amanda call him by his full name. Did I say something wrong?

She looked dead serious. She promised her son, “Don’t worry, I’ll find you a reliable father, okay?”

He looked at her with a deep frown, though. “Mommy, you’ve said this a million times before. You’re lying to me again, aren’t you?”

“No, I’m not! I’m absolutely not lying to you this time. I’m gonna start getting serious about getting you a father.” Amanda used to still have a bit of fantasy about Elias before, but now, she wouldn’t anymore. She would never choose this man again, even if all the other men in the world. were dead.

Aiden was skeptical, though. “Is that so? Well then, I’ll believe you one more time. By the way. Mommy, you know Tina from my kindergarten? Her dad is great, and he’s single, too. Would you like to meet him?”

All at once, Amanda was rendered speechless. So, this little brat has been looking for a new father in kindergarten already, huh? He really wants a father more than I thought. Sigh… It’s understandable, though. Baby has never had a father to keep him company since he was born. He keeps calling Simon Daddy,” this poor thing. “Alright, let’s go to sleep. I’ll take care of looking for a daddy for you, so don’t worry about it. Just have fun with the kids in kindergarten.”

She picked up her son-who smelled good like a baby-and carried him to bed in his bedroom, putting the bottle of reconstituted powdered milk in his hand while she was at it. “Be good and finish your milk before you go to sleep. I won’t be telling you bedtime stories tonight. Now that you’ve grown up, you have to learn to sleep by yourself, him

“Alright, Mommy, I got it. Stop nagging already. Good night.” Aiden lay in bed holding his milk bottle, drinking from it with his legs crossed in a comfortable posture.

At the sight of this, Amanda couldn’t help but laugh. He’s so good at enjoying himself. Leaving his bedroom, she came downstairs to find Selina still busy in the kitchen. She entered the kitchen and looked at the woman, who was washing the kitchen utensils. “It’s so late already. Why don’t you go to bed early and leave them until tomorrow?” she urged with a smile.

Selina looked back at her. “It’s okay, I’ll be done in a second. I overheard your conversation with Baby when I passed by his room just now. What’s the matter? You’ve come around and decided to go to your

ex-husband?” She thought Amanda had realized the lack of fatherly love for her child and might want to go to her ex-husband to get remarried.

Amanda was startled for a moment. “No, that’s not it. I’m planning to get a new father for Baby, actually. My ex-husband and I… We’re through, I guess. Recalling the scene at her office today. she just felt that she and Elias were growing further and further apart. Maybe they weren’t

suitable for each other at all. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have ended up getting divorced. Perhaps divorce is the best ending for us. I shouldn’t get entangled with him anymore.

Selina replied with a faint smile, I don’t know what happened between the two of you, but you must have your own reasons for making such a decision.”

Amanda smiled. “Thanks for your understanding. It really means a lot to me.”

Selina said, “You’ve got to keep your eyes open this time. A woman can never be too careful when it comes to choosing her second husband. Don’t worry about your kid; I’ll take good care of him for you. Just go to work and look for a husband with peace of mind.”

“Thank you so much, Selina.” Amanda felt really relieved leaving Aiden in Selina’s care, which felt like leaving her child in the care of her own sister.

For the next few days, everything seemed to return to normal. Amanda went to work at the law firm as usual, and Elias didn’t come after her again. He was probably still recuperating in the hospital.

The elevator door slowly opened with a Ding!

Amanda stepped out of the elevator and was about to turn toward her office. Unexpectedly, the door of the elevator next to hers opened as well, and Lunabelle stepped out of it. “Amanda!” she called out to Amanda.

Amanda looked back at the woman before her, whom she recognized after a few seconds as Lunabelle Gowen, Simon’s ex-girlfriend. “Hi, Miss Gowen.”

Lunabelle walked up to her with a smile. She apologized, I’m really sorry for what happened last time. I didn’t know anything, and it was all a misunderstanding. Simon told me everything. afterward, so I know everything now.”

Only then did Amanda realize that Lunabelle was referring to the previous incident where Lunabelle had caught her and Simon ‘cheating

She replied. That’s okay. It wasn’t your fault, actually; it was Simon’s fault for not telling you the truth and making you get the wrong idea.” In fact, she could tell that Simon and Lunabelle obviously still cared about each other. It was just that Simon was unable to put the past behind.
