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

voice 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

wonder 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.”
