The Barrister's Love in Town

Though he hadn’t been fond of children, the thought that this was his child made him

more patient.

Baby glanced at Symeon but didn’t respond. Instead, he scooted closer to Amanda and

whispered, “Mommy, has Daddy been naughty recently?”

Amanda frowned. “What did you say?”

For a moment, she didn’t understand what her son was saying.

Baby looked at Symeon timidly and continued, “Then, why did you change daddies for

me?”

Amanda and Symeon exchanged glances, falling into silence and even feeling lost for

words.

Symeon didn’t say anything but directed his gaze toward Amanda, signaling for her to

explain.

On the contrary, she couldn’t be bothered to clarify. All she wanted was to take her child

and leave this place as soon as possible.

At that moment, she only realized that these circumstances also impacted her child’s

young, innocent heart.

At such a tender age, the little one might ponder, Didn’t I just recognize a Daddy? Why is

there a new Daddy again? Why are there new Daddies everywhere?

Amanda lowered her head and whispered in Baby’s ear in a voice only the two could hear,

“We didn’t change daddies. We’re just guests at this person’s house. You have to behave.

Otherwise, this kick us out, and when Daddy finds out, he’ll spank you again.”

Baby’s big, grape-like eyes widened as he looked at Amanda, who nodded seriously.

person will

Left with no choice, he could only sit obediently in the chair and eat his noodles. He

quickly finished the noodles in his bowl and hopped off the chair, announcing, “Mommy,

I’m going to bed now. Bye-bye!”

By the time Amanda reacted, her son had already disappeared.

She smiled helplessly. Well, the security measures here were quite reliable, so her son

wouldn’t get lost anyway.

Meanwhile, Symeon had already signaled the nanny nearby to follow Aiden. The nanny

nodded and left.

However, he was a little curious about what Amanda had just said. Why did that little guy

cast such a peculiar gaze his way?

“What did you say to Aiden just now? Why does he seem a little afraid of me?”

“Oh, nothing much. I just told him to be obedient. You have a bit of a short temper, and I

said you might spank him if he misbehaves.”

Amanda ate her noodles slowly while the man’s face turned dark. intentionally creating a

bad image of me in Aiden’s mind? What if he doesn’t get close to me after

“Are you you’re gone?”

Amanda sneered inwardly.

Heh.

She had no intention of letting Baby get close to this Lawrence guy anyway since the child

wasn’t even his, to begin with.

However, for the safety of Elias in Cludan, she still had to endure it for now.

After seeing her remain silent, Symeon pressed on. “Or maybe you’re doing it on purpose,

not letting the child leave you so that you can stay by my side forever?”

deliberately

Amanda’s lips twitched involuntarily at the corner. This man was completely narcissistic.

Did he really think that all women desired to stay by his side? How ridiculous!

Amanda continued eating her noodles. After finishing the last bite, she wiped her mouth

with a napkin and responded, “You’re thinking too much. I don’t want to stay by your side

forever. I can’t even use my phone. What’s the point of such a life?”

After speaking, she got up and left the dining room while Symeon was left sitting there,

looking at the empty bowls of the mother and son. He couldn’t help but laugh.

This mother-and-son duo was quite interesting, and he was the one who had brought them

into this situation.

The butler walked into the dining room and looked at the absent-minded master. He

spoke, “Master, you seem to have a lot of patience for Miss Bailey.”

Normally, he had never seen the master displaying this kind of patience with any woman,

not even his fiancée, Miss Elizabeth.

Symeon snapped back to reality. “Really?”

“Yes, even Miss Elizabeth hasn’t received this kind of treatment.”

Symeon fell into silence. He didn’t think he was giving Amanda any special treatment, but

he had indeed. grown accustomed to having her by his side.

Suddenly, he contemplated that if this mother and son continued to stay by his side all the

time, their presence would probably inject some color into his otherwise monotonous and

boring future.

Back in the hospital in Cludan, although Yacob had already set off, a new set of guards was

stationed at the ward, so Rosie still couldn’t get in.

Every day, she yearned to go inside and see Elias, but no matter who she encountered,

they wouldn’t let her in.

It had already been seven days. Apart from returning home to shower and change clothes,

Rosie hadn’t left the hospital. She was practically glued to the place.

Even her brother, Taylor, couldn’t stand her anymore. He sent someone to the hospital to

bring her home, but it was useless. She just refused to leave.

“Please, just let me go in and take a look. I promise I’ll just take a glance!” Rosie pleaded

desperately.

The guards on duty appeared troubled. “Miss Rosie, please don’t make things difficult for

us. We’re just following orders. Yacob had emphasized many times before he left that we

shouldn’t allow you inside. sorry.”

Rosie hung her head in defeat, then sat back in the nearby rest area.

Suddenly, the medical equipment in the ward started to sound an alarm as if something

had happened.

The guards immediately pushed open the door and went in to check. Rosie also rushed in,

her face full of anxiety as she approached the bed.
