The Barrister's Love in Town

Between Amanda and Howard, Elias still chose to defend Howard and continued lying to

Amanda.

Amanda asked, “Then when will you find him? I miss him so, so much. I couldn’t sleep well

at all last night.”

“I’m sorry, Amanda, but I’ll do my best. We should find him soon.”

“All right, got it.”

After hanging up, Amanda shoved the blanket aside, then went to the bathroom to wash

up.

She stood at the washstand and looked at her reflection in the mirror. She looked like she

had slept the whole night away, but her slumber was riddled with nightmares. She even

seemed a little haggard.

“Aiden, do you miss Mommy?” She posed the question to her reflection in the mirror.

Elias looked at his phone, which was still displaying the ended call. Amanda’s emotions

seemed off somewhat.

After investigating the whole night, he realized that the child truly wasn’t with Howard.

Where else would Aiden be?

After racking his brains through the night, he still couldn’t figure out how a three-year-old

would disappear in the surveillance footage. He looked through all the surveillance

cameras from all sorts of angles in the amusement park, but there was no trace of the

child ever since the merry-go-round stopped.

Yacob went back to the office with some breakfast he bought.

“Mr. Winters, you should take a break. You’ve been checking the surveillance footage all

night.” Yacob placed the food on the couch in the reception area.

Elias put a hand to his forehead as he leaned against the office desk, closing his eyes to

rest. He had a splitting headache. After staring at surveillance videos for the whole night,

his vision was getting blurry.

“Did you get any news on

“Side?”

Yacob didn’t say a word, which meant that there was no news. A hint of disappointment

flashed across Elias’ dark eyes.

His phone rang again. It was a call from Howard this time. He looked at the incoming call

on the screen. unwilling to answer the call. In the end, however, he still picked up.

“Grandpa…”

“You b*stard, have you found the child?”

“No.”

“What? It has been a whole night, but you still haven’t found a mere child? enemies again

“Interses’

“Got it! I’m still looking, so I’m hanging up now.”

On the other end of the line, Howard complained again, saying, “I’ll be waiting for you at

the manor! Tell me as soon as you get any news. You can also ask me for help if you need

a particular connection.”

“Yeah. Okay.”

Elias can now confirm that Aiden truly wasn’t with Howard, or Howard wouldn’t be so

anxious.

But where did Aiden go?

Meanwhile, at the police station, an adorable boy sat on a chair, sucking on a bottle of

yogurt in his hands. as his short legs swung in midair.

“Are you still hungry? Do you want some more?” A policewoman crouched down patiently.

The little guy looked upset, however. “Miss, I’m already three years old. Please don’t talk

to me in such a childish tone.”

The policewoman was a little speechless. This kid has quite a temper.

“What’s your name?”

“You’ve asked me the same thing for the whole night. My name is Aiden Bailey, and my

mommy is Amanda Bailey. My dad… I don’t know what his name is,” Aiden repeated

earnestly.

Last night, Dick took him to the amusement park. After the merry-go-round ride, he snuck

away and managed to find a police station nearby.

Amanda once taught him that if he got lost outside, he could ask the police for help.

The policewoman asked, “Do you know your house address? There are too many women

with the same name as your mommy, so we can’t narrow it down. Do you remember any

buildings near your house?”

Aiden remembered everything except for the address.

They had moved quite a few times after coming back, so he had no clue about the address

of the new house they had recently moved into.

“I don’t know the address…. I thought I only had to remember my mommy’s name.”

“Then do you remember your mommy’s phone number?”

The policewoman asked again. She couldn’t get any findings after enquiring for the entire

night. Instead, the little guy freeloaded in the police station all night and even made all

sorts of unreasonable requests.

Aiden said, “Yes, but I only remember the number of that phone. My mommy has a lot of

phones, so I don’t remember the other ones.”

The policewoman sighed in exasperation. “But darling, that number you remembered is

empty.”

The confused child had recited the phone number confidently, but the number was no

longer in use.

correct person.

The phone number was invalid, and Aiden couldn’t remember the address. It truly was a

difficult task to help him find his parents.

The policewoman looked at an old policeman at the side. “Sir, why don’t we post a photo

or a video online and ask for help? The news can spread wider that way. If we can’t find

the child’s parents, we can only hope that the parents come to us.”

The old policeman had been playing with the kid for the entire night, so he was sleepy as

well. He yawned. and said, “Go ahead, then. I can’t hold out any longer; this kid is too

energetic.”
