The Barrister's Love in Town

This three-year-old kid is too composed.

Aiden looked up at his mommy and said, “Nope. I knew you were lying. We were just

comforting Uncle Elias. You told me before we came here that Uncle Elias is not in a good

mood.”

Amanda was startled speechless. So, this little brat thinks it’s an act. She was

son.

unsure of how to explain to her

She crouched down while looking at her son’s innocent face. “Aiden, I’m telling you the

truth. I’m not joking or comforting Uncle Elias. Uncle Elias is really your daddy. He’s the

one you’ve been asking me about. Do you understand?”

Aiden stared at his mommy blankly. It took him a long time to react. His little mind was

processing something, but she didn’t know what it was.

Amanda started to panic. “Baby? What’s wrong?”

Suddenly, Aiden pouted while looking very aggrieved. “Mommy, you’re lying to me again.

You told me that Daddy didn’t want us and that he disliked us, which is why he left.

However, Uncle Elias doesn’t seem to dislike us. Instead, he likes us a lot…”

She was once again speechless.

“I’m sorry. It’s my fault. I said bad things about your daddy because I was afraid that he

would take you. away, but now that he is facing the most difficult time, we should be there

for him, right?”

She knew that she was delving into deep waters by having this conversation with a three-

year-old, but she had no other choice.

Aiden stared at her for a while, said nothing, and quietly walked toward where the car was

parked.

Amanda stood up and followed behind her son’s small figure. This must be his true

reaction. He couldn’t easily accept that Elias was his biological father.

Three days later, at Howard’s funeral.

The sky was gray and overcast, with dark clouds looming as if a heavy rainstorm could

break out at any

moment.

Everyone’s mood was heavy, and the atmosphere was suffocatingly oppressive.

Elias was dressed in a black suit, with a white chrysanthemum pinned to his chest, He

looked gloomy and expressionless.

He bowed to each person who came to pay their respects.

Jennifer stood to the side. Her face was pale as she wiped away her tears. She felt that

retribution had come again.

First her husband, now her father-in-law…

She worriedly looked at Elias standing nearby. She was afraid that her son would be the

next.

Grace also appeared at the funeral. She approached the altar and bowed three times.

Then, she looked at Howard’s body lying there, and her face turned pale with fright.

She couldn’t help but recall the scene from that day….

Nobody knew that she did it. Nobody would ever know. There were no witnesses present

at the time.

The only person who knew was Howard, but now he was dead. There was no evidence at

all. It was as if fate was helping her.

As long as she didn’t admit it, no one would ever know that she pushed Howard down the

stairs.

She straightened her chest and walked up to Elias. She was about to speak but was

immediately. interrupted by him.

“Don’t bother me at Grandpa’s funeral. I don’t want to waste my words with you.”

After speaking, he simply bowed in courtesy and then looked expressionless at the next

mourner.

Grace swallowed her words because Elias’ expression at the moment was truly

unpleasant. It was filled with hostility.

Suddenly, there was a flash of lightning and the rumbling of thunder outside,

accompanied by the sound of raindrops falling.

Grace trembled in fear and turned her head abruptly to look at the sudden downpour as if

it was sounding an alarm for her.

She turned around and fled in panic.

Coincidentally, she ran into Amanda and Aiden who came to pay their respects.

Grace left in a flustered manner, while Amanda held her son’s hand and bowed three

times in front of Howard’s altar.

Aiden looked at the photo of the old man and asked curiously, “Mommy, why is the old

man also in the picture? Does that mean he will forever live in this photo?”

She tightened her grip on her son’s small hand and said, “Be good and go say hello to

Great-Grandpa, Aiden. He loved you the most.”

Unfortunately, he had only met Aiden two or three times in total.

Thinking of this, Amanda couldn’t help but feel a pang of sadness. If she had known this

day would come, she would have let Aiden spend more time with Howard.

“Hello, Great-Grandpa. I’m Aiden. Mommy brought me here to see you,” Aiden greeted the

photo of Howard seriously.

After hearing her son’s sweet voice, Amanda truly wanted to cry.

She pulled her son to stand in front of Elias. In just a few days, Elias had lost much weight.

Although he didn’t look as desolate as before, he still exuded a heavy aura, like a cold and

emotionless robot.

He still followed the etiquette and bowed in return to Amanda.

“Elias, are you all-

Before Amanda could finish her sentence, her words were cut off by Jennifer, right with

you around! You jinx!”

Jinx?

Amanda was startled.

Sharled. “Nothing is all

Elias furrowed his brow and his gaze was sharp as he looked at his mother. “If you don’t

want me to kick

you out, then shut up and don’t cause a scene at my grandfather’s funeral!”

Jennifer immediately shut her mouth and continued to cry incessantly.
