Chapter 147 Elias’ Trick

“What makes you think I’d agree to it?” Amanda gave him a look of ridicule.

“I’ll let you stay there for free.”

This b*stard. Amanda took a deep breath and said, “I would rather pay double the rent than have you staying with us! No!” With that, she stormed back into the house without sparing him a glance.

Elias was upset since he couldn’t get Amanda to say yes. After all, if he let this be, Aiden would hate him even more. Thus, he had to think of a way to solve this!

Suddenly, an idea came to his mind, and he smiled.

Tomorrow, they’ll definitely ask me to stay the night, thought Elias as his smile widened. Then, he entered the car and drove away.

The next day, Elias went to Galaxy Bay to pick them up. Since Aiden was afraid of him, Elias didn’t pick him up at the kindergarten, which caused him to break his promise to Howard about taking Aiden to the manor. Thus, Howard called him and scolded him.

“If you dare make my grandson cry, I will kick you out of the house! Why did you have to fight in front of him? You’re already a father, yet you still act like a child! You must fix this!” NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Yacob parked the car in front of the villa and noticed Elias” annoyed expression.

Elias pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed. “I know, I’m trying to think of a way. I’ll talk to you later.” As soon as he hung up the call, he felt peace. Grandpa sure is getting annoying as he grows older,

“We’re here, Mr. Winters,” said Yacob.

Elias exited the car and pressed the doorbell. He adjusted his expression since he had to act kind to Aiden, Otherwise, the boy would be more afraid of him.

After some time, the door opened, and out came Amanda. She held a suitcase in one hand with Aiden in the other.

When Aiden saw who was by the door, he hid behind Amanda quickly, seemingly as if he had seen a ghost,

Looking at his reaction, Elias had a grim expression and wondered if he looked terrifying.

Elias grabbed Amanda’s suitcase and said, “Get in the car.”

Amanda nodded and ruffled Aiden, who was evidently nervous. “It’s okay. We are going to our new house.”

Aiden grabbed Amanda’s clothes tightly and looked at Elias warily.

Elias frowned at his reaction. I have to fix this quickly. Otherwise, our relationship will only worsen.

After Amanda and Aiden got into the car, Elias entered too, Just as he was about to sit beside Aiden, the latter crawled over Amanda to get to the other side. In that split second, Elias was upset. Do I look like a monster? Why is he so afraid of met

Amanda ruffled Aiden’s hair and asked, “What are you doing?”

“I don’t want to sit with Mr. Winters. I want to sit with you,” Aiden said truthfully.

Sometimes, children said the most hurtful words since they were straightforward.

Elias’ expression darkened when he heard Aiden’s words, but he could only suppress his emotions since he had scared Aiden last night. Thus, Aiden saw him as the most vicious person in the world.

She couldn’t help but chuckle. After all, she knew he had brought this upon himself. If anyone could go against Elias, it would be Aiden.

On their way to the new place, none of them said anything. Aiden grabbed Amanda’s hand and snuck the occasional glance at Elias. When Elias looked at him, Aiden immediately turned away, pretending to look at the window. On the other hand, Amanda smiled since she knew Elias was going crazy. After all, Aiden treated him like a monster.

Soon, they arrived at their destination.

As the car slowly drove into the entrance, Amanda saw the community’s name-Northern No. 1.

This was one of the wealthiest communities in Imperia. It had a great location and was close to the law firm, which would only take her about ten minutes of commute. Plus, only those who were rich or had authority could stay in this apartment. After all, it cost several million per house. However, Amanda wasn’t surprised that Elias had a home here since it was very convenient

The car stopped at Building Five, and Yacob got out of the car to unload their luggage. When Aiden exited the car, he was still keeping his distance from Elias, which made the latter very angry.

Forget it. He’s only a child, he thought.

They took the elevator to the 12th floor. Yacob dragged the luggage and opened the door for them. “After you, Miss Bailey.”

“Thank you, Yacob,” replied Amanda as she and Aiden entered the unit.

Elias looked at Yacob and instructed, “Wait for me in the car.”

“Yes,” replied Yacob. Then, he walked toward the elevator.

After that, Elias entered the place. Whenever he had a busy schedule, he would stay here since it would only take a few minutes to get to the company.

He entered the living room and went straight to the couch while Amanda and Aiden looked around. The interior spanned across 3,000 square feet, and the house looked sparkling clean.

“Have you stayed here before?” asked Amanda.

“Yes, I stay here whenever I’m in a hurry. After all, it’s close to the company,” Elias replied.

In the meantime, Aiden was nowhere to be seen as he looked around the house.

“Don’t run around, Aiden! Do you hear me? Don’t fool around!” Amanda shouted.

“I know that, Mommy! You’re so annoying!” Aiden’s voice came from somewhere else.

Suddenly, Elias said, “Do you and Aiden believe in the supernatural?”

At that moment, Amanda was startled. “What are you talking about?”

“It’s nothing. It’s probably just a rumor,” said Elias. “By the way, the password is your birthday. You can also use your fingerprint. Do you want me to set it up for you?”

“It’s fine. I’ll just unlock it with the passcode. What were you saying about the supernatural, though?” Amanda was curious. After all, she was afraid of ghosts and monsters. Even a horror movie was enough to scare her to death.
