Chapter 129 Otherwise, I’ll Jump Out of the Car Right Now
“Whatever. It’s useless to try and communicate with you. I don’t even know why I still
bother. Just do whatever you want.”
Amanda was about to leave when she suddenly recalled something and turned around to
point at him. “Did you remove that empty tombstone? Stop cursing my son!”
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Elias’ face. “It was removed a long time ago.”
That was probably the dumbest thing he has done since he was born.
Then, Amanda turned around to hail a cab. Unfortunately, before she could even start
waving, he grabbed her arm. “Let me. It’s the rush hour right now. You won’t be able to
get a cab.”
She was well aware of that, but she didn’t know how to face him as she was
uncomfortable after Elias found out about Aiden’s existence.
Suddenly, she received a call from Simon. He was probably wondering why she wasn’t at
the law firm yet.
Amanda glanced at Elias before walking to the side to answer the call, “Hello, I’m on my
way. I’m just stuck in traffic at the moment. I’ll be there soon. Don’t wait for me. You guys
should start the meeting without
me.”
Elias knew immediately who she was talking to and a hint of jealousy filled his eyes.
After Amanda hung up the phone, she got in his car and urged, “Can you drive faster? I’m
going to be late for work. I have an important meeting to get to.”
Elias didn’t speak. Instead, he silently got in and started the car, departing from the
kindergarten.
After he left the residential area, he deliberately drove slowly and took the longer route.
Amanda didn’t notice it at first but when she felt they were getting farther from the law
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfirm, she inquired. “Why did you take a longer route?”
“Because of the jam.” Elias kept his gaze forward like a focused driver.
Yet, he kept detouring. It was obvious he didn’t want her to go to work.
Then, Amanda narrowed her eyes as she looked at his side profile before demanding.
“Elias, are you doing this on purpose? You don’t want me to see Simon at work, right?”
“So what if I don’t?” He didn’t deny it.
“You can’t interfere with my job. Send me to work right this instant! My career is at stake.
She took a look. at the time. The meeting had already begun, and she wasn’t even there
yet.
“I won’t drive you to the law firm unless you give me your word that you’ll reject Simon’s
proposal. Besides, if you really want to be a lawyer, I can open a law firm tailored to suit
your needs.
His nonchalant statement made Amanda’s blood boil as she retorted hotly. “Are you
threatening me? Is this how you’re begging for forgiveness? Don’t think that I’ll get back
together with you just because we have a child.”
“I know.”
He knew that Amanda wouldn’t return to his side so easily. But he just couldn’t stand the
thought of her working with Simon in the same law firm.
“Send me to the law firm since you’re aware that nothing has changed between us. If you
don’t, I’ll jump out of the car right now.”
“How dare you?!” Elias furrowed his brow. Is this woman crazy? How could she say that?
However, Amanda simply snorted, “Try me!”
He was rendered speechless by her remarks. Even though he knew it probably wouldn’t
happen, he still drove toward the law firm. He couldn’t bet on her life, especially since
they had a son.
Soon, the car came to a stop before the office building.
Amanda undid the seat belt and pushed open the door. She was really going to be late.
However, before she could scurry into the lobby, Elias said, “I can pick Aiden up if you’re
busy this afternoon
“No. I hired a nanny. She’ll pick him up from school. Amanda shot him a glance before
striding into the building without another word.
Elias watched as she hurriedly entered the building before driving off.
In the CEO’s office of the Winters Enterprise, a man sat in the office chair with his long
legs gracefully crossed on the table. The smoke wafting from a cigarette hanging on his
lips blurred his handsome features.
At that moment, a knock could be heard, and he said, “Come in.”
The secretary entered and saw the man’s relaxed composure before asking. “Mr. Winters,
will you join the morning meeting? It’s going to start in ten minutes.”
Elias didn’t have the heart to work as he just found out about Aiden’s existence.
He removed his legs from the table and snuffed out the cigarette. “No. Ask Mr. Briggs to
attend in my stead.”
“Yes, sir.”
Then, the secretary exited the office and closed the door behind him.
Suddenly, Elias’ phone rang, and it was a call from Grace. She had been calling him
nonstop from the day before, but he didn’t want to answer her call at all.
He didn’t want to look or speak to this serial liar anymore as he just realized she had been
playing him like a fiddle all these years.
So, he hung up the phone and blocked her number immediately.
Then, he immersed himself in the joy of discovering he had a son as a smile crept up his
face when he recalled Aiden’s clever face.
Soon, it was time for the kids to return home from kindergarten. Even though Amanda told
him that he wasn’t needed, he still wanted to see Aiden being picked up with his own two
eyes. The worry in his heart wouldn’t cease until he was certain that his son made his way
home safely.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm
Thus, Elias parked his car under a tree by the roadside and rolled down the window. He
watched the main entrance of the kindergarten as children were being picked up by their
parents one after another.
At the same time, Selina arrived promptly at the entrance and saw Aiden, who was making
his way to the entrance, calling out, “Aiden! Here!”
“Miss Selina!” Aiden dashed toward her happily.
She held his hand and walked in the other direction.
Elias, who was sitting in the car, witnessed the scene and a content smile appeared on his
face. This kid smiles like me too.
Just when he was feeling bemused, he noticed that Aiden had his eyes set on the cotton
candy stall and was begging Selina to buy one for him. Elias was fascinated by the
adorable look on his face. He was just like any other parent that would find their children
the cutest little creatures in the entire world.
Suddenly, a man appeared before Selina and Aiden. To make matters worse, it didn’t seem
as though he was here for a friendly conversation.
The warm smile on Elias’ face vanished immediately as he shoved the car door open and
decided to go over to them just in case.
On the other hand, Selina eventually caved to Aiden’s puppy eyes and bought the cotton
candy for him. The child held the sweet treat like a prize and was munching on it joyfully,
probably ruining his appetite later that day. Suddenly, a burly tall man appeared before
them.
“Selina Yaleman, how dare you cheat on me?! You even have a child!”
Selina saw the man and immediately carried Aiden in her arms while taking a step back in
panic. “Why are you here?!”
“I’ve f*cking looked for you for so many days, but you won’t leave that stupid house. Now,
I’ve finally got you. Who’s this child? You cheated on me and even have a kid with your
lover?!”
The man roughly grabbed onto Selina’s arm to prevent her from running away.
