Chapter 120 I Want to Tell You a Secret
Besides, this little brat is handsome. He’s sure to get girls when he’s older.
“Mommy.”
“Yes?”
“Everyone has a dad when they are born, right?” Aiden blinked his huge eyes as if he was asking a
serious question.
Even though Amanda didn’t want to answer that question, she had to admit it. “Yes.”
“Then, where’s my dad? Do you have his picture, Mommy? Can I see?”
Amanda’s heart constricted as she looked at the anticipation on Aiden’s face.
“Why do you suddenly want to see your dad’s picture? Don’t you hate him?”
For some reason, Aiden had always hated his father. It might be due to her telling him that his dad
didn’t want them anymore.
Aiden jumped down from her embrace and said, “Today at kindergarten, the teacher told us that
everyone was born because Daddy loved Mommy. But Mommy said Daddy didn’t want us anymore. If
Daddy didn’t love Mommy, how did you give birth to me?”
Amanda was speechless and didn’t know what to say.
Did Elias love her? At least he didn’t even when she was pregnant with Aiden.
“Baby, Daddy… he…” She wanted to exin but didn’t know how to.
Aiden stared at her and got impatient as she was hesitating for a long time. “Mommy, I just want to see
Daddy’s picture. Just let me take a look, please?”
“Then, can you tell Mommy why you must see his picture?” Aiden had never asked for this. This was
out of the blue.
“Erm… because the teacher said I don’t look like Mommy. So, I probably look like Daddy. I want to see
what Daddy looks like to see if I look like him or not.”
His answer made Amanda fall silent once again. She was at a loss as to what to do. Could she really
let Aiden see Elias’ picture?
Aiden looked very much alike to Elias; it was as if he was replicated. But she didn’t want Aiden to return
to the Winters Family. So, there was no point in letting Aiden see Elias’ picture.
So, she lied, “Baby, I’m sorry. I don’t have your father’s picture. So, I can’t let you see it.”
Disappointment painted Aiden’s small face after he listened to her words. His bright eyes lost their light
as he pursed his lips. “Fine. I won’t see it.. Daddy doesn’t love us at all. He didn’t even leave a picture
behind. I hate him more!”
Then, Selina walked into the living room and called, “Aiden. Amanda. It’s time to eat. Come over.”
Aiden pursed his lips as he stormed off into the dining hall but turned around to call for Amanda after a
few steps. “Mommy, let’s eat.”
Suddenly, Amanda’s heart ached even more as she looked at Aiden’s somber back. He only wanted to
see his father’s picture, yet she couldn’t fulfill such a simple request.
She got up and went to the dining hall. It felt like something was stuck in her throat as she saw Aiden
sitting obediently on the dining chair.
“What’s wrong? Why do you look so pale?” Selina served thest dish onto the table and realized
something was off with both Amanda and Aiden.
Amanda smiled and shook her head in response. “Let’s eat.”
After eating, Selina showered Aiden and put him to sleep while Amanda went to the balcony for some
fresh air..
Many things had happened this couple of days and her mind was in a whirlwind. The only thought in
her mind now was to prove her innocence. But how was she going to do that? It was impossible.
Suddenly, her phone rang. Amanda took a look and saw that it was a call from Simon. I didn’t go to the
law firm today.
Sheposed herself and answered the call. “Hi, Simon.”
“Are you okay?” Simon didn’t ask why she didn’t go to thew firm or what happened.
“I’m alright…”
“You weren’t the one behind Grace Murphy’s incident, right? You’re not that dumb in my eyes. You
won’t do something like that no matter how much you hate her.”
Amandaughed. “Of course, it wasn’t me. I will find the evidence to prove my innocence.”
Simon on the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds then said. “That surveince footage
is the best evidence. You can’t find anything else reliable enough now.”
The smile on Amanda’s face gradually disappeared. She knew that.
Then, Simon’s voice came through again. “If you’re willing, I can help you.”
“How?” Things were like a dead game in chess. How was he going to help her? She was just asking for
too much.
“Don’t worry about that. I have my ways. If I helped you prove the truth, can you promise me one thing?
Amanda looked up at the sky. She couldn’t figure out what Simon wanted. But she desperately needed
to rify this incident before it dragged on as it would affect her.
“Okay. I’ll promise you if you help me find the truth.”
“Then, wait for my good news. Good night.”
After hanging up the phone, she fell into deep thought about what Simon would do.
On the other hand, Simon was sitting in the car downstairs. After getting Amanda’s confirmation, he
stepped on the gas and went to the hospital.
At the hospital, Simon hid a recording device on his body before walking toward the inpatient
department.

He walked to Grace’s ward and knocked before hearing her voice calling, “Come in.”
He pushed the door and entered. Grace was in a low mood because of her face. She had not perked
up once since she was hospitalized.
“Why are you here? To help Amanda? You want me to let her go?” Grace looked up to see Simon and
turned spiteful.
However, Simon acted very professionally and entered before sitting on a chair by the side. “I’m here to
talk and to see you.”
He ced the bouquet of fresh flowers in his arms on the side.
Grace just harrumphed, “I don’t need your fake kindness. You’re just here to talk for Amanda. I’m telling
you, don’t even think of trying to frame me or record anything. I know youwyers like doing that a lot.
She destroyed my face. How dare she send you here?!”
Simon raised a brow. “You seem to know a lot aboutwyers, Miss Murphy.”
“That’s because I’ve yed awyer role and experienced what it’s like being one. What else do you
have to say? I know all your tricks, so don’t even think about it.” Grace only wanted to be alone now.
She didn’t want anyone to see her face.
Then, Simon cleared his throat before saying, “I actually wanted to tell you a secret.
