The Barrister's Love in Town

Later that day, Amanda was busy with her work in the law firm and even met several

clients in between for the whole day.

Night fell in the blink of an eye. By the time Amanda had the mind to glance at the time,

she noticed that it was just in time for her to clock off. Since I’m done with everything, I

might as well head straight to the Winters Estate and pick up Baby. Amanda couldn’t help

being jealous at the thought of letting Aiden spend a second longer with Elias.

Just as she finished packing her stuff, picked up her bag, and was about to leave the

office, Simon unexpectedly was just about to knock on the door.

“Hey, all done with your work?”

“Yeah. I have just finished and am now getting ready to get off work, Amanda replied.

Simon smiled. “Just in time to follow me to have dinner with my parents, then. They have

made a reservation tonight. Plus, I’m done with my work too.”

“Huh? Tonight? But I am unprepared. Plus, I don’t even have a decent dress to change

into. Amanda glanced at her formal wear. Can this attire even be passed off as an

appropriate dress to meet his parents?

“It’s okay. My parents aren’t overly fastidious about these things. They understand the

nature of our work. Plus, it’s just a simple dinner.”

Amanda was slightly conflicted. Honestly, her heart wasn’t entirely set on the idea of

meeting Simon’s parents. She didn’t want to go but…..

“Okay… Then, I will call Baby and tell him I will be home late.” I should check in with that

little brat in case he throws tantrums at Elias’ place.

“Sure.” To be honest, Simon didn’t want to stop Elias from taking this opportunity to bond

with Aiden. I don’t mind Elias fighting for Aiden’s custody. In fact, it would be best if Elias

won. After all, Aiden is his biological son. Not to mention, Amanda and I will have our own

children once we get married in the future. Still, I can’t possibly let Amanda know I have

such thoughts. Because if she does find out, she will definitely hesitate to marry me.

At the same time, in the Winters Estate, Elias was taking Aiden to check out the cars in his

garage. The little guy was so thrilled that he ran around the garage like a wild horse. Elias

couldn’t get hold of him at

all.

“Wow! Mr. Winters! Your garage is so cool! There are so many cars here. Will I have cars

like these too when I grow up?”

Well, one couldn’t blame Aiden for getting an adrenaline rush upon setting his sights on so

many sports cars at once. After all, Elias’ garage was literally every man’s dream. Even a

three-year-old toddler was no exception.

“Of course. All these cars will be yours in the future.” Elias leaned against the front hood

of one of the sports cars. He felt an inexplicable sense of contentment as he watched the

little guy’s figure running around in the garage. This is probably what fatherhood feels like.

Suddenly, his phone started vibrating. Elias glanced at the screen and saw that it was

Amanda who was calling. Is she really this worried about me looking after Aiden?

He answered the call. “What’s wrong? Are you doubtful of my capability to take care of

Aiden?”

Amanda’s voice sounded from the phone, “Of course, I am. You have no experience in

looking after a child. Do you know when to feed him? Do you know what’s the time to take

him to the bathroom? Do you

know what time he goes to bed?”

Elias furrowed his brows slightly in the face of those sharp questions. I seriously have no

idea about all of those! So, he coughed slightly to hide his embarrassment and added, “Do

tell, then. I’m all ears.

“Forget it. You won’t understand even after I told you about it. Just leave it to the nanny.

She will know what to do. Alright. Pass the phone to Baby. I want to say a few words to

him.”

Elias let out a snort and then began to call out to the little monster that couldn’t stop

running around, “Aiden, come here! Your mommy is asking for you.”

Aiden immediately stopped running around the instant he heard the word ‘Mommy. Then,

he dashed toward Elias and snatched his phone away.

“Mommy! There are so many cars in Mr. Winters’ garage! They are all so cool! I’m having

a lot of fun!” He eagerly shared what he saw with Amanda the instant he had a firm grip

on Elias’ phone.

As for Elias, he leaned on the car hood and watched as the little guy chatted with Amanda

on the phone. After approximately a few minutes, Aiden handed him the phone and said,

“Here you go, Mr. Winters.”

Elias took the phone and realized that the call had ended. What? Amanda hung up just like

that?

“What did your mommy tell you?” Elias inquired.

Aiden was touching the rearview mirror of a sports car when he answered absent-

mindedly. “Mommy asked me to behave myself and said that she will come home late

because she is going to have dinner with Uncle Simon’s father…”

“What?!” Elias instantly blew a fuse. F*ck!! How dare you, manda! Asking me to look after

Aiden while you and Simon are going to meet Simon’s parents!?

Aiden was startled by Elias’ wrath. His voice turned meek as he repeated, “Mommy said

she’s going to have dinner with Uncle Simon’s father. So, she will come home late.”

Only then did Elias realize that he might have scared Aiden. Therefore, he composed

himself and bent down on one knee, asking, “Are you hungry? Let’s go have our dinner,

okay?”

“Okay! Can we come back to your garage and play after dinner?”

“Sure,” Elias promised. Why is this kid so obsessed with cars? He’s definitely my son.
