The Barrister's Love in Town

“W-What? This child is really yours? Howard couldn’t have imagined that the child he

casually encountered at the kindergarten would turn out to be his great-grandchild.

“Yes, he’s Amanda’s child. She was pregnant four years ago, but I didn’t believe her and

chose to divorce her. Later, she gave birth to the child on her own, and I only found out

recently.” Elias briefly explained the child’s background, fearing that Howard might faint

right then and there if he provided too many details.

“You scoundrel!” As expected, Howard’s blood pressure rose, and he swung his cane at

Elias. “You didn’t believe your wife when she said she was pregnant! Instead, you believed

those seductresses! You even let my great-grandson wander around for four years! I’ll

beat you to death, you worthless thing!”

Elias didn’t dodge as he believed he deserved to be hit. How could he have let his

biological son wander around abroad for four years?

Meanwhile, Aiden, who was in his arms, was clearly frightened and pouted. His eyes were

welling up with

I Have Boundaries.

tears. “I want Mommy…”

Seeing him cry instantly made Howard stop. “Don’t cry, don’t cry. Great-Grandpa was

wrong. Did I scare you?”

“Grandpa, he hasn’t eaten yet. Let me take him for a meal first. Would you like to join us?”

“Alright, alright. I’ll have a meal with my little great-grandson.” Howard beamed. Despite

being angry and shocked, he considered it a blessing from heaven to have a great-

grandson suddenly appear out of nowhere.

In the restaurant, Aiden sat obediently on the dining chair, but his eating habits were

adorable, as he was a messy eater with food on his face. Elias and Howard sat on the side

while watching the little one cat.

Howard, who grew fonder of Aiden the more he watched, said, “Oh, this kid really knows

how to eat. He looks so much like you when you were little. The more I look, the more he

resembles you. But you weren’t this well-behaved when you were young. You were quite

mischievous.”

A smile appeared on Elias’ face as he looked at his son, who was completely engrossed in

his meal. At that moment, the butler approached, seemingly having something to say. “If

you have something to say, speak up. There are no outsiders here,” Elias said while

scooping a bowl of soup for his son.

The butler reported truthfully, “Recently, the sanatorium informed us that Madam’s

condition has improved significantly, and they suggest she returns home for recuperation

as it will be more beneficial to her recovery. Madam insists on coming back and wants Miss

Murphy to accompany her. Elias paused his action of feeding Aiden the soup. “Grace? How

dare she show up in front of me?”

“Miss Murphy has been trying every means to see you. I believe she has also influenced

Madam’s thoughts. Madam has a great deal of trust in her and insists on having her stay

together. I have accommodated them in the Southview Villa,” the butler replied.

At that, Elias responded indifferently, “Fine, do as you wish. Just don’t let me see her.

Then, he asked again, “How’s the injury on her face?”

“It’s not recovering well, and it’s likely to leave a scar. Foreign experts have also consulted

on the matter, stating they can help with scar restoration, but it can only recover to about

sixty to seventy percent. Miss Murphy may not be able to return to the entertainment

industry in the future, the butler answered truthfully.

“Understood. You may leave and attend to your duties.” Elias’ expression turned grave

after hearing that.

After the butler left, Howard spoke up. “Are you still planning to get involved with Grace? If

you continue like this, even if you have a child together, you have no chance with

Amanda.”

Howard had long figured it out. As long as there was a glimmer of hope for Grace, she

would surely obstruct the remarriage of Amanda and Elias.

→Grandpa, I have my boundaries. I will fulfill my responsibilities but won’t have any

personal feelings for

her. Besides, there was never much affection between us, to begin with,” he said. He

didn’t have much attachment to Grace, as he was only being nice to her out of respect for

Kennedy. Moreover, he now understood that he hadn’t slept with Grace as he had

mistakenly believed before, so there was no need to feel guilty anymore. Grace’s true

nature was quite different from the innocent and pure image he had imagined. Moreover,

he never expected her to be so scheming.

“You better handle it properly. Otherwise, if you anger Amanda to the point where she

leaves again, you won’t be able to find her anymore, and no one can help you.” Howard

snorted coldly.

Elias remained silent and continued to feed Aiden his meal. The little one was truly

obedient when it came to eating as he had one mouthful after another. Of course, Elias

knew all of this. This time, he would never disappoint Amanda. No matter what happens,

he will firmly choose to believe in her. Howard looked at Aiden again and couldn’t help but

exclaim, “My great-grandson looks so handsome. He looks much better than you did when

you were little. And he eats so obediently. You weren’t this well-behaved when you were

young. A nanny had to chase after you during every meal.”

Hearing that made Elias speechless. Just how naughty was he when he was little? Why did

he remember his grandpa always praising him back then?
