Chapter 150 Is This Really Happening?

With his phone in hand, Elias waited for ten seconds before calmly answering the call. He pretended to be busy and spoke in a low voice. “What’s up? Is something wrong?”

When Yacob saw Elias excellent acting skills, he couldn’t help but sigh. It’s a shame his acting talent is being hindered by his status and position. It’s a great loss for the entertainment industry. If he were in showbiz, he would be an award-winning actor.

Meanwhile, Amanda’s slightly awkward voice came through the phone. “Um, are you busy? Are you still working? If you’re busy, forget it. It’s not anything important.” NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

At that, Elias furrowed his brows. Tm almost done. Go ahead if you have something to say. I’m about to leave.” I need to put on a complete performance, but I shouldn’t overdo it.

“Well, it’s already late, and it’ll take you a while to get back to the estate. Since the office is just a few minutes away from here, why don’t you come over and stay for the night? We have plenty of rooms.”

He smiled at her well-justified excuse. It’s clear that she’s afraid and wants me to come quer and accompany them during the night, but she came up with such an excuse to make it sound more legitimate. Although he knew her intentions, he didn’t expose her. He replied in a deep voice, “Sure. I’ll be there in a few minutes.

“Okay. Can you hurry up? You said it’s very close.” Her voice sounded urgent, indicating that she was mentally exhausted from the fear.

“Alright, I’ll be quick. Five minutes. His smile grew even brighter, satisfied that his plan had worked perfectly.

Amanda continued to explain, “Also, Aiden is asking for food. When you pass by the 24-hour convenience store later, could you bring something for him? I can wait.”

At her words, Elias chuckled. “Okay. I’ll leave now” After that, he hung up the phone.

Once the call ended, he turned to Yacob and said. “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and go to the convenience store to buy some food.”

Only then did Yacob react and say, “Oh, okay. I’ll go now,”

Luckily, there was a 24-hour convenience store in the neighborhood, or he would have had to go outside the neighborhood.

After hanging up the phone, Amanda felt relieved. At least I’ll feel more secure with a man at home. Otherwise, I won’t be able to s

tonight.

She glanced at Aiden in her arms, who had an extremely insecure sleeping posture. It seemed like he had a nightmare as he furrowed his brows and whimpered.

At the sight of that, she gently patted his body to comfort him. “It’s okay, it’s okay. Mommy’s here.”

As for the unexplainable strange sounds, she couldn’t believe it was just her imagination. I don’t think Aiden and I hallucinated at the same time. When she recalled the eerie humming sound from the dressing room carlier, it still sent shivers down her spine. It was truly terrifying

Not long after, the doorbell rang, disturbing the sleeping Aiden. The little guy opened his eyes in

confusion and burrowed into his mother’s arms. “Mommy!”

“It’s okay, it’s okay. Mr. Winters will be with us tonight, so everything will be fine.” As she patted his head gently, she could feel that he hadn’t slept well, as his forehead was covered in cold sweat.

“Really?” He looked up.

“Of course. Mr. Winters is ringing the doorbell now. I will get the door. Once he’s here, we won’t be afraid anymore. Even if there are ghosts, Mr. Winters will chase them away, okay?” She finally realized the importance of a father figure in her child’s life.

“Okay.” He nodded, but his face still showed fear.

When Amanda walked to the entrance and opened the door, she saw Elias’ tall figure standing outside as he held a bag from the convenience store. That’s fast.”

At her remark, he lifted the convenience store bag in his hand. “You said Aiden was asking for food, so I was afraid he would get hungry,” he said while entering the house.

The moment she saw Elias, she instantly felt a sense of unprecedented peace. Is this the sense of security brought about by a man’s masculinity?

Before the doorbell rang, the house was shrouded in fear. Yet, as soon as Elias entered, the terrifying atmosphere vanished instantly. It can’t be denied that his strong presence seems to have the power to ward off evil spirits.

He hadn’t even entered the living room yet when he heard the loud sounds coming from the TV, seemingly as though Amanda wanted the noise to reach every corner of the house. It looks like they’re really frightened. Have I gone too far with this prank?

When he walked toward the couch, he saw his pitiful son nestling there. “Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?” He placed the convenience store bag on the coffee table.

Aiden was initially scared of him. However, after being frightened by the moving curtains in the room, he no longer found Elias scary.

He shook his head and deliberately leaned closer to Elias as if being close to the man would make him less afraid of ghosts. “Are you scared of ghosts?” Just then, Aiden asked in all seriousness.

Surprised by his question, Elias chuckled. “No, I’m not. Are you?”

The little one nodded earnestly. “In that case, will you protect Mommy and me tonight? There’s a ghost here. I saw it”

Amanda, who was sitting on the couch, felt slightly awkward. This little brat changes his tune quickly, huh? Just a few hours ago, he was hiding from Elias as if he were avoiding a ghost, but he’s not leaning against him, being all gentle and obedient.

“Sure, I’ll protect you two, but what did you see? Are you sure you didn’t mistake it for something else?” Elias asked, for he didn’t want to instill any supernatural ideas in his son’s mind. Setting up that room was a bad idea. It seems to have scared this little one quite a bit.

At his question, Aiden’s eyes widened, and he said seriously, “No, listen to me. I really saw it. I saw the curtains moving, and there was a ghost outside the window. It was terrifying. I’m scared”

Elias reached out his big palm and gently caressed the little boy’s fluffy head. “It’s okay. I’m here. I’m not

afraid of those things, alright?”

“In that case, Mr. Winters, can you stay awake tonight?”

At that, Elias was speechless. Wow, he’s bolder than I am. He’s actually asking me to stay up all night, eh?

“What for?” Amanda couldn’t help but ask.

“If Mr. Winters falls asleep, he won’t be able to protect us anymore. I’ll be scared if he’s asleep,” Aiden replied.

When she heard his answer, she had no comeback. This little brat is quite thoughtful.

Elias, on the other hand, was amused by his son’s innocent words and readily agreed. “Alright, I won’t sleep tonight. I’ll protect you. There’s no need to be scared anymore. Are you okay with sleeping now?”

“Yes, I can relax and sleep well now.” Aiden seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. He relaxed and was no longer as tense and scared as before.

However, what he said next left both adults stunned. “Mommy, can Mr. Winters sleep in the same bed as us tonight? I don’t want him to be too far away from us.

At this moment, both Amanda and Elias didn’t know what to say.

Is this really happening? he thought.
