Chapter 387 Your Son Is Still Mad at You

When Amanda saw her son’s reaction, she secretly chuckled in amusement. Oh, I can’t

believe my son has quite a temper.

“Look at our son. It seems that he doesn’t want to talk to me.” Elias helplessly gazed at

Amanda, complaining to his wife in an adorable tone.

In the meantime, Yacob couldn’t help but have goosebumps running all over his skin when

he saw that. What’s with Mr. Winters? Why does he sound like a kid? Am I seeing things?

Or is he out of his mind?

While Yacob’s eyes were filled with doubts, Elias gave him a cold glare and said, “Step

aside if you can’t stand it.”

“Ahem… I’m used to it, Mr. Winters.” Yacob smiled.

Amanda laughed in amusement when she saw the funny interaction between Elias and

Yacob, finding them interesting. In the meantime, Aiden made a loud grunt when he

realized he had been neglected.

Elias looked at his own son in his arms, smiling lovingly, “You have my attention, but is this

a reminder for me to coax you?”

“Hmph! You broke your promise. You’re not a good father.” Aiden gave in to his temper

and spoke, although he was initially reluctant to talk to Elias at all,

“But I brought you a present. Would you take a look at it?” Elias knitted his eyebrows.

“No! I don’t want it!” Aiden responded with an adamant attitude.

Amanda then poked her son’s face and asked, “Give your father a chance to apologize. I

thought we talked about this at home.”

“I don’t see any present at all. I don’t think he prepared any either.” In fact, Aiden had

been paying attention to anything that might seem like a present from the moment Elias

showed up, only to fail to notice anything noteworthy.

Amanda then turned her attention to Elias and asked, “Are you trying to lie to my son?

Where is his present?”

Elias then turned around and gazed at his assistant. “Where is my present? I thought I told

you to hold it for me.”

“Oh, it’s right here. I almost forgot about it.” Elias’ assistant smiled awkwardly and quickly

brought the present to Elias.

Although Amanda couldn’t see clearly what that present was, she noticed her son’s

desperate reaction as he hurried to check out his present and exclaimed in excitement.

“What’s that?”

“I don’t know. All I know is that kids love it.” Elias reacted with a chuckle.

Soon, the smile on Amanda’s face faded away when she received a phone call from

Symeon. Not him again. She immediately hung up the call and looked at Elias, as well as

Yacob. “Let’s head back to the estate. 1 have something I’d like to tell you all about.” Elias

and Yacob exchanged gazes in puzzlement, but they didn’t ask Amanda anything because

they reckoned they would find out more soon enough.

Upon arrival at Winters Estate, Aiden was taken by the butler elsewhere so that he could

play by himself. After all, it had been a while since the last time he was there. On the other

hand, the three adults made their way to the lake, where they decided to have their

discussion held.

“Now, what is it that you want to tell us?” Elias sat down on the bench and waited for

Amanda to talk.

Amanda deliberated for a moment, wondering where she should start telling Elias and

Yacob the story. At the same time, she was worried that Elias would get angry after

hearing her story, fearing he would succumb to his temper and do something reckless.

She then looked at Yacob and said, “You should sit down as well. I’m thinking about how I

should start telling the story.”

“Me? As Mr. Winters’ subordinate, I think it’s better for me to stand because I doubt I

deserve to sit side by side with him.”

“I said sit down. I can’t think with you on your feet. What I’m going to tell you both is no

laughing matter, and I need you to restrain Elias if he gets too mad because I don’t want

him to do anything silly.” Amanda sounded frustrated.

Yacob was seen with a confused look on his face when he saw Amanda acting so

mysteriously. Although he could tell that Amanda had been hiding something inside of her

for the past few days, it seemed to him that whatever she was going to tell them was

serious.

Meanwhile, Elias was already seen with a darkened face, thinking he should have known

that something. had would happen to him away from home. However, Amanda chose to

keep him in the dark until he returned. “Now, just sit down and keep quiet.”

Yacob obediently sat down beside Elias, whereupon the two men fixed their eyes upon

Amanda and waited for her to talk.

“Now, tell us what happened.” Elias looked at Amanda.

“Promise me that you won’t get mad. The reason I’m bringing this matter up is that I want

all of us to think of a solution together, so you need to stay calm. Okay?” Amanda

shuddered at the thought of her imagination in which Elias angrily barged into Sacred

Heart Villa to murder Symeon.

Meanwhile, Elias was beginning to feel more annoyed as Amanda behaved indecisively.

“So, are you going to tell us or not?” He was overwhelmed by his impatience.

“Now, promise me that you’ll stay calm, okay? Please.” Amanda still appeared hesitant

because she had a strong feeling that Elias would succumb to his emotions and temper.

“Alright, I promise you. Now, talk, Elias answered with a darkened look.

Amanda looked at Yacob, who was sitting beside Elias. “Don’t forget to restrain him.”

Yacob responded by giving Amanda a firm look, as if he was telling her to stop wasting

time and tell them what happened.

Amanda then cleared her throat and took a few seconds to organize the story in her mind.

After that, she went on to speak in a euphemistic manner. “Here is what it is. I believe you

guys know the Lawrence Family from Esmos, right?”

“Yeah, what’s wrong?” Elias knitted his eyebrows. Although he had met Symeon, the new

heir of the Lawrence Family, a few times, they were not close to each other.

At the same time, Yacob also held his breath, looking forward to what Amanda would say

next.

After a brief hesitation, Amanda eventually decided to speak her mind in order to prevent

any unwanted misunderstanding. “Um. The mysterious and famous heir has come to

Cludan for me…”

“And?” Elias couldn’t wait to hear the truth, but Amanda still seemed hesitant and

indecisive as she revealed what had happened.

Amanda lacked the courage to look her husband in the eye but eventually decided to go

ahead and tell the truth. “This heir went through the record in the hospital where I gave

birth to Aiden in Esmos four years ago, insisting he was his son as he wanted to take him

away with him. He then tried to convince me that their biological relationship was real by

presenting a DNA paternity test report, which was done in Esmos. That’s all.”

After finishing the last few words, Amanda didn’t notice any response from the two men,

even thinking she might have spoken so fast that she left them confused. However, the

moment she looked up, she immediately saw Elias’ darkened face, knowing he was going

to lose his cool anytime.

“What the f*ck!” The man swore just as Yacob quickly seized his arm.

“Mr. Winters, Miss Bailey said you have to stay calm.”

“Come on! Could you really stay calm if you were in my place? I gave you a task to protect

them, but you didn’t seem to know about that at all, did you?!” Elias was so angry that he

was tempted to murder Symeon.

It was then that Yacob recalled the man he met when he picked Aiden up at school. That

man Aiden and I ran into that day. Is he the Lawrence Family’s heir? He is the biracial guy

you’re talking about, isn’t he?” Yacob asked, looking at Amanda.

Amanda nodded, shuddering at the thought of their encounter that day. If Yacob hadn’t

been around, my baby would have been taken, wouldn’t he?
