The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 133

Chapter 133 Elias! Why Are You So Childish?

When Simon saw the way Amanda reacted, he smiled. “What do you have in mind, then? Elias certainly won’t let Aiden go once he learns Aiden is his son.”

Sure enough, Amanda knew that Simon was right. However, there was nothing she could do to stop fate from doing its work. Just like last night, she wasn’t expecting Elias to be right in the garden and bump straight into Aiden.

Simon felt slightly sorry for Amanda when he saw her in a dilemma. “Amanda, I want you to be truthful with me. Do you still love Elias? Do you have the intention to return to his side with Aiden?” Now that Elias is avidly courting Amanda, what’s the point of me proposing to her if she harbors any thoughts of remarrying Elias? After all, the two already had a child together.

“To be honest, no.. After going through so many things, I feel Elias and I really aren’t a good fit for each other. Although we have cleared the air this time, and Elias realized that he had wrongly accused me, what about in the future? Frankly speaking. I bet Elias would still doubt me and not believe me if such an incident happened again.

Simon breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing her reply. At least Amanda’s words proved he still had a chance to be with her, and if truth be told, he felt that he was sure to lose when he witnessed the scene of Elias and Aiden standing together in the supermarket tonight.

“Is my proposal still valid, then?” Simon asked. He pretended to sound relaxed to cover his uneasiness,

Amanda instantly coughed awkwardly as she muttered, What other choices do I have when I have already said yes?”

He smiled and said nothing. He could finally set his mind at rest now that he heard her words of assurance. Leastwise, it was clear to him that Amanda didn’t intend to return to Elias’ side.

Dinner was served half an hour later. This moment, at the dining table, was where the real battle took place. Elias and Simon sat opposite each other. Their gazes clashed, wittingly or unwittingly, especially Elias, whose gaze was full of murderous intent. Meanwhile, Aiden sat next to Elias. There was undoubtedly an inexplicable contrast between the two despite having the same facial features, especially when one looked as malicious as a devil while another resembled an innocent angel,

“Mr. Winters, I want to eat that fish. Serve some to me!” Aiden requested as he lay on the dining table, trying to reach the fish with his petite arm but failing in every attempt he made.

Elias only withdrew his murderous gaze when he heard his son’s voice. His glacial eyes instantly turned gentle. Then, he picked up his cutleries and said, “Okay.”

However, as soon as he did so, Simon swiftly placed a piece of fish on the plate in front of Aiden.

“Thank you, Uncle Simon,” Aiden thanked him politely.

-As for Elias, even though his jealousy was mounting up, he still cut a piece of the fish, picked it up with the

fork, brought it near to Aiden’s mouth, and instructed. “Open your mouth.” Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Aiden didn’t have a chance to reject Elias at all. He obediently opened his mouth and ate the fish that was fed to him.

At the same time, Elias was mindful of grabbing the opportunity to indoctrinate Aiden. “Tell me—Aiden, is Simon related to your mommy by blood? He isn’t, is he? So, why is he Uncle Simon while I’m Mr.

Winters? Also, we are both your mommy’s friends, so you can’t give him special treatment. You can only give your special treatment to the man who has registered as your mommy’s legal spouse in the marriage

certificate. Got it?”

As soon as these words escaped Elias’ lips, the facial expression of those present at the dining table took a

turn.

Amanda was utterly exasperated. What the hell is this sembag teaching Aiden!?

Meanwhile, Simon remained silent. Nonetheless, one could notice that he was somewhat holding back his temper through his gaze and his somewhat tightened grip on his fork and knife.

Only Selina couldn’t help but laugh when she saw Elias brainwashing Aiden. What an interesting father-and- son duo.

Meanwhile, Aiden looked at Elias with curiosity written on his face as he asked, “What does it mean by a man who has registered as Mommy’s legal spouse in the marriage certificate?”

“It means the man who officially marries your mommy. In short, your rightful Daddy. Only he deserves. your utmost special treatment, okay?” Elias explained with a serious demeanor while Aiden listened attentively.

“Oh.. I get it. So, that’s what it means. Aiden nodded and continued to enjoy his dinner.

When Amanda saw this, he couldn’t help but glare at Elias. “Elias! Why are you so childish? Why are you telling Baby these things? He’s so young. Do you think he can understand your words?” Plus, Aiden is already far more mature than he should be. Yet, Elias is teaching him such nonsense!

“It’s because he doesn’t understand that I decided to explain things to him, giving him a general idea in his head.” Elias answered solemnly. His attitude almost made Amanda blow her top right in front of her precious son.

At this moment, Selina interrupted, “Amanda, I want to take a few days off to go through my divorce settlement. I don’t want to live with that man who abuses me any longer!

“Sure, go ahead. It’s just that-will you be fine by yourself, though? Will that man go easy on you?” Amanda was a little worried about Selina’s safety. After all, judging by the way the man showed up in front of their doorstep today, Amanda could tell that he didn’t seem like a person who would say yes to divorce without making a huge racket about it.

Selina hesitated for a moment upon hearing her concerns. Then, she smiled and replied, “I will try to talk things out first. And if it doesn’t work, I can only seek your help.

“Sure, no problem,” Amanda agreed readily.

Just when Amanda and Selina thought that the matter was solved, Simon raised the most critical question, “Who will take care of Aiden if you take a few days off?”

“That is precisely what I want to discuss with you. Who will look after Aiden while I’m gone these few days?” Selina looked at Amanda and asked.

Likewise, Amanda was caught in a dilemma. I would have to bring Baby to work with me if Selina took a few days off. I will never allow some stranger to look after him.

“Leave Aiden to me.” Suddenly, Elias put down his tableware and looked up at the conflicted Amanda. “Don’t even think about taking him to work with you. It’s troublesome.”

“But will it not be troublesome to leave Aiden with you? Aren’t you busy every day?” As the president of Winters Enterprise, how is it possible that Elias’ days are more relaxed than mine? I was his wife. So, I am well aware of how hectic his daily schedule is.

Elias turned his attention to the little guy beside him as his lips pulled into a doting smile and said, “I can take a few days off. Come to think of it-I haven’t taken any days off this year yet. I can use this as an opportunity to rest. Plus, I want to make time for him. He was absent from Aiden’s life for the past four years, so he naturally wanted to make up for it.

the

Amanda couldn’t bring herself to say anything. Honestly, I really don’t want Elias to get in touch with Baby too often, especially now that Aiden is quick in accepting Elias’ presence. In fact, he has already barreled past unfamiliarity phase and treats Elias like an old acquaintance. Yet, last night was clearly his first time seeing Elias… Such is the charm of kinship, I suppose. Although it would be endearing if it were any other father and son, Elias in the picture just makes it seem all the more frightening, I guess?

“Still, we have to ask if Aiden is willing to have you as his babysitter. Amanda placed her entire hope on Aiden as she shouted in her heart, Say no to him, son! I can accompany you!

At the same time, Elias looked at the little guy beside him. “Aiden, why don’t you pay me a visit? I have a playground at my house, so… Do you want to go?”

“Really!? Okay! Mr. Winters, do you have lots of cars at your house? I want to have a ride!” Aiden exclaimed, still remembering the fabulous Bentley outside.

Elias felt his smile deepen when he saw just how excited Aiden was. “Of course. I have plenty of cars. In fact, I have an entire garage filled with cars. Just take your pick. You can choose whichever car you like, and I will take you to school in it, okay?”

“Okay! Mommy, don’t worry! I will behave myself and play nicely with Mr. Winters. You can pick me up again after Miss Selina returns from her days off!” Delight was written all over Aiden’s face as he looked forward to touring the garage full of sports cars.

Simon’s facial expression was a little somber, and he clenched his fists under the dining table. As for Amanda, there was more heartache and less relief in her heart when she heard Aiden agree to follow Elias back to the Winters Estate. I can’t believe this is the son whom I raised for four years! How can he easily be bribed with a garage of sports cars? Then again, Aiden is still a child, after all I can’t really expect him to understand the grudge between me and Elias.

After dinner, Selina was in charge of washing the dishes. Meanwhile, Simon and Elias sat in the living room. Neither of them had any intention of leaving.
