Chapter 140 An Inappropriate Scene
Meanwhile, Simon stared at his phone furiously after the call was cut off as he stood
outside the villa. So. everything that his parents did last night had eventually pushed
Amanda into Elias’ arms? Otherwise, why would Elias be inside the house when he
couldn’t even enter? At that moment, Simon’s mother called again.
“Can’t you leave me alone? Must you make me detest you?” Simon impatiently answered
the phone. After speaking, he hung up the phone. This was probably the first time he had
ever been angry at his mother, and it was because of Amanda. His parents must have
been shocked and angry.
The next morning, when Amanda woke up and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast,
she discovered Elias lying on the couch. She had gone to sleep upstairs after failing to get
through to him last night. Hadn’t he left last night?
Amanda walked up to the couch and called out, “Hey! Wake up!” The man lying on the
couch didn’t respond, and he seemed to be in a deep sleep. With her arms crossed, she
then nudged Elias’ arm with her knee, and there was a cold expression on her face. “Elias,
wake up! Stop sleeping!”
The next moment, he abruptly opened his eyes and grabbed her slender right leg.
Amanda couldn’t help
but let out a scream.
“Ah!” She then fell onto the couch and into his embrace. Fortunately, Elias reacted quickly
enough and managed to hold on to her body tightly. Just like that, the two of them
embraced intimately.
Elias lowered his head and looked at the woman in his arms with a mischievous smile. His
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtvoice was lazy and seductive. “You’re already throwing yourself into my arms so early in
the morning. Are you that impatient?” Hearing that, Amanda quickly pushed him away
and tried to get up, but he held onto her waist so tightly that she couldn’t move.
“Let go of me! Don’t be so presumptuous. Who said I was throwing myself at you? I came
to check if you had fallen into a deep sleep!”
Elias, who was embracing her tenderly, leaned in close to her ear and whispered, “Not
only did I not fall into a deep sleep. I even had an erotic dream, but you woke me up, and
now I’m a little annoyed. Her face flushed instantly. This despicable man is teasing me!
Amanda struggled to get up, but Elias held onto her waist, which stopped her from doing
so. “You’ve disturbed my sweet dream, and now you want to leave just like that?” He
spoke in an ambiguous tone.
“What else do you have in mind?”
Just at that moment, footsteps suddenly sounded from upstairs, and Aiden’s cute voice
was heard. “Mommy, I want some water. I’m so thirsty…” With that, Aiden ran downstairs
and witnessed this inappropriate scene.
“Mommy, what are you guys doing?” he asked while blinking his eyes.
At this moment, Amanda, who was lying in Elias’ arms, turned her head and looked at her
bewildered son –for a moment before quickly getting up from the couch. This time. Elias
didn’t try to stop her and also sat up. The most awkward thing was letting the child see
this scene. Amanda even had the thought of killing Elias since it was all his fault.
“Baby, are you thirsty? Mommy will take you to get some water. Let’s go.” Amanda forced
a stiff smile and walked over to hold Aiden’s hand as she led him toward the kitchen.
Meanwhile, Aiden asked curiously, “Mommy, what were you and Mr. Winters doing? Why
were you lying
together on the couch? Did you sleep on the couch last night?”
“No, Mommy slept in the room last night. I accidentally fell when I tried to wake Mr.
Winters just now. You shouldn’t concern yourself with this.” Amanda realized that the more
she explained, the more confusing it became. She poured a glass of water and handed it
to him before saying, “Drink your water quickly. You talk too much.”
“Oh… I thought Mr. Winters was mistreating you. If he dares to do that, I’ll help you get
revenge,” Aiden said while clutching the mug. Amanda was once again deeply touched
when she heard that he still cared about her. Unexpectedly. Aiden’s next words nearly
made her explode with anger.
“If Mr. Winters lets me drive his cars when I grow up. I’ll forgive him. There was a look of
anticipation on his face, and his mind was filled with images of the sports cars in the
garage. If only he could drive them
for fun.
Amanda was speechless when she realized that Aiden was captivated by those sports cars
in the garage and that his devotion was unwavering.
With that, Amanda lightly tapped his head and said, “Go wash up by yourself today.
Mommy will make breakfast for you. Hurry up.” Hearing that, Aiden touched his own
forehead and replied, “Oh… okay.” Aiden then hurried off to the living room and saw Elias
sitting on the couch, seemingly on the phone. When Elias noticed him, he ended the call.
“Mr. Winters, will you take me to school later?”
“Yes,” Elias replied.
“Can I sit next to you? I want to sit next to you!” Aiden looked expectant.
“Your Mommy won’t agree. You need to sit in the back with the child’s car seat.” Elias
didn’t want to indulge the child in this matter.
However, Aiden pouted and started whining. “Please, Mr. Winters, just don’t tell Mommy.
She won’t find out.” Neither Amanda nor Elias was the whiny type, so it made Elias
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwonder where Aiden learned such skills. Is it innate to children?
Soon, Elias came up with a solution. “Alright, how about this? When I pick you up from
school today, we’ll go to my house, and you can sit in the front seat. How does that
sound?”
“Yay! Mr. Winters, are we going to drive the red car from the garage today? That’s so
cool.”
“Sure.”
“Wow, Mr. Winters, you’re the best!” Aiden happily ran upstairs to wash up.
After finishing breakfast, Elias drove and took Aiden to school while Amanda drove to the
law firm.
As soon as Amanda arrived at the law firm, she felt unprecedented pressure. She knew
Simon would come to talk to her, especially after the unpleasant dinner they had last
night. Sure enough, as soon as she entered the office, she saw Simon holding a tray with a
big breakfast while sitting on the couch in the waiting area.
“Amanda, have you had breakfast? I bought some for you,” Simon turned around when he
heard the door open and stood up. Seeing Simon now reminded her of what his parents
said last night, and she really didn’t want to continue getting involved with him.
“I’ve already eaten. Do you have something to discuss with me? I have a court hearing
today.” Amanda didn’t dare to look into Simon’s eyes and went straight to her desk as she
pretended to search for documents.
Simon could tell she was avoiding him. “Amanda, I want to talk to you.”
“Let’s do it another day. I’m busy these days. I have a court hearing and need to meet
with clients…” Amanda didn’t want to avoid him but didn’t know how to approach the
conversation with him.
Before she could finish her sentence, he interrupted, saying, “About the hurtful things my
parents said to you yesterday… I’m sorry, I didn’t expect them to behave that way. I
thought they genuinely invited you to dinner.”
