Chapter 134 Stay Away From My Woman and Child

Amanda glanced at the time. It’s already late, yet what are these two still doing here? Are they planning to sleep here tonight?

“Are you two not getting ready to go home? It’s late. Baby is already asleep. Are you guys planning to watch TV here all night?” Then again, neither of them seemed to be watching TV.

Elias had his arms crossed as he looked at Simon and said indifferently, “Why are you still not leaving? Only two women and a child are in this house. As a grown man, do you not feel awkward staying here if I leave?” There is absolutely no way I will allow Simon and Amanda to be in the same living area!

Simon smiled. “What about you? Why aren’t you leaving? Besides, this is my villa. So, I can stay for as long as I like.”

“Your villa?” Elias questioned. His tone was filled with nothing but suspicion as he looked at Amanda.

“It’s his house. I’m merely a tenant,” Amanda answered truthfully.

The atmosphere in the room turned tense once more as Elias’ jealousy roused from its slumber. What are my woman and child doing living in Simon’s house!?

As soon as this thought crossed Elias’ mind, he turned to look at Amanda and ordered, “Move out Tomorrow. You can choose to live in any house owned under my name or live with me in the Winters

Estate.”

Amanda was stunned by Elias’ commanding tone as she retorted, “Do you still take me as your wife? Please! We’re divorced, so why should I listen to you? Hurry up, go home, and get some sleep. I’m so sleepy that I can barely keep my eyes open.”

After that, Amanda involuntarily yawned and continued waiting until the two left. Oh! I should take a warm shower and head straight to bed immediately after they leave.

Elias stood up and looked at Simon when he noticed that she was genuinely tired. “Let’s leave together. I have something I want to say to you.”

“Sure. I happened to want to have a chat with you too.

A gleam of joy surfaced in Amanda’s eyes. Finally, these tivo bosses are leaving! Otherwise, they would have stayed until dawn.

“Goodbye, and take care. I’ll go back to my room. I’m exhausted.” With that, Amanda got up, preparing to see Elias and Simon off.

Elias and Simon left Galaxy Bay on their respective ride. Shortly afterward, both cars gradually stopped on the road with their windows lowered.

Elias stared straight into Simon’s eyes as he threatened in a deep voice, “I’m warning you. Stay away from my woman and child.

“Funny. I seem to recall that Amanda is no longer your woman. And as for your child, does Aiden even know you are his biological father?” Simon said with a bland look, successfully igniting Elias’ fury with his

words.

Elias clenched his fists tightly, cracking his knuckles. Then, he retorted through his teeth, “Is stealing another man’s wife your fetish? Why are you so fond of stealing what belongs to others?”

“Tch… As far as I know, you were the one who abandoned your wife and child back then. Yet now, you speak as though you are innocent of the wrongdoings you have committed. Get your facts straight! It’s

Amanda who has struck you off her list of suitors. It’s pointless to keep talking about this with me, no? You’re the one who wronged her, so own it.”

With that, Simon flashed Elias a contemptuous smile, started his car, and drove away.

Only Elias was left sitting in his car. Every muscle on his handsome face stiffened as his mind kept replaying Simon’s parting words. He smacked the steering wheel, fuming mad. This f*cking lowlife!

Meanwhile, inside the villa, Amanda came downstairs to pour herself a glass of water after taking her shower and happened to bump into Selina, who was cleaning up the kitchen.

“Selina, why don’t you continue doing the chores tomorrow? It’s late, so get some rest. Please don’t wear yourself out.” Amanda couldn’t help but say.

Selina raised her head and smiled when she saw Amanda. “I was thinking-since I will be off for few days. I should complete more chores. By the way, have Mr. Nicholson and Mr. Winters left yet?”

“Yeah. How else are we supposed to get our sleep when those two grown-up men stick around and waste the rest of their evening here?” she grumbled softly.

Selina dropped the chores on her hands and walked up to her. Tell me the truth, Amanda. Do you still have feelings for your ex-husband?”

Amanda, who was pouring the glass of water, paused for a moment. “Of course, I don’t.”

“Oh… As I see it, the three of you seem to get along quite harmoniously, though.”

“Harmonious? In what sense do you think we get along harmoniously? Elias hasn’t even seen Aiden since he was born. Do you honestly think he will be a good father? If it were you, would you leave Aiden with him unsupervised?” Amanda couldn’t restrain her agitation at the mention of Elias and what happened tonight.

As for Selina, she gave Amanda’s words a thought. Then, she expressed her view, “Well… from what I’ve seen tonight, he’s pretty patient when it comes to Aiden. Besides, Aiden should have his biological father as his daddy if you want to find him one. After all, they cre blood-related.”

Amanda was momentarily tongue-tied. It’s exactly because Aiden is Elias” kin that he seems quick to accept Elias into his life. Otherwise, he is usually very wary of strangers.

Still, she snapped out of her thoughts and asked, “Selina, if it were you, would you still choose to remarry your ex-husband even if he abandoned you and your child?”

Selina furrowed her brows and fell into a dilemma. This is pretty bothersome, indeed… Or you can test your ex-husband before making a decision.”

“Do you not think that Simon is good husband material? He is highly conscientious and never dodges his responsibility.” Amanda couldn’t help but ask for Selina’s opinion again.

Selina smiled and shook her head. “He does look like a perfect fit for a husband now. But Mr. Nicholson

has never been married and never had a child of his own. So, you will face many challenges if you want to start a family with him. For example-his parents. I think it’s pretty hard to get his parents’ blessings. And knowing Mr. Nicholson, I presume he does come from a well-off family. Am I right?”

Amanda also was aware that she would have to face many obstacles if she wanted to marry Simon. Still, she really didn’t intend to return to Elias’ side and repeat the same mistake she had made in the past.

Suddenly, Amanda’s phone rang. It was Simon calling. She picked up the phone, and Simon’s voice sounded from the phone, saying, “Amanda, can you free some time from your schedule tomorrow or the day after tomorrow and have a meal with my parents? They would like to meet you.”

It’s true when they say worrying about things that might never happen increases their chances of happening in reality. Selina and I were just touching on the topic regarding Simon’s parents, and now Simon is calling, informing me that we are going to his parents. No way! That’s too soon!! Amanda froze upon hearing his words. Then, she hesitated for a few seconds and answered, “Uh… Is it not too soon to meet your parents now? I’m not ready yet.”

“It’s fine. My parents are relatively open-minded. It’s just a simple meal. They are more determined in urging me to get hitched.”

“Okay. I will leave you to make the arrangements.”

“Okay. Get some sleep. Goodnight.”

After she ended the call, she looked helpless. “What should I do? Simon’s parents want to have a meal with. me. Now I’m nervous….”

Η

“There’s no need to be afraid since Mr. Nicholson will be there with you. Relax. His parents won’t embarrass you on the spot. Selina disapproved of what Amanda said.

Selina is right. With Simon around, I have nothing to be afraid of. But it is going to be so awkward. Amanda gave Selina’s words a thought.

“Stop thinking about it. Go and have your beauty sleep. That way you don’t have to worry about looking bloated when you meet Mr. Nicholson’s parents, Selina said as she patted Amanda on the shoulder, attempting to cease Amanda’s anxiety.

Amanda smiled and said nothing.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

A white Aston Martin unexpectedly stopped in front of Amanda and Selina just when they planned to drive Aiden to his kindergarten early morning the next day.

Aiden was the first to scream with excitement. He sneaked out of the car and exclaimed, “Wow! It’s so cool! Mommy, look! This car is so cool!”

The door of the Aston Martin gradually swung open, revealing none other than Elias. “Aiden, get in the car. I will take you to school today.”

“Hooray! Mr. Winters, this car is amazing! Do you have more cars in your garage? Can I visit your garage?” Aiden bounced up and down with glee. He couldn’t wait to visit Elias’ garage and feast his eyes on all the

awesome rides.
