    Chapter 140 An Inappropriate Scene


    Meanwhile, Simon stared at his phone furiously after the call was cut off as he stood outside the vi.


    So. everything that his parents didst 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 leftst 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 couchst night?”


    “No, Mommy slept in the roomst night. I identally fell when I tried to wake Mr. Winters just now.


    You shouldn’t concern yourself with this.” Amanda realized that the more she exined, the more


    confusing it became. She poured a ss 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 schoolter?”


    “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 thew firm.


    As soon as Amanda arrived at thew firm, she felt unprecedented pressure. She knew Simon would


    come to talk to her, especially after the unpleasant dinner they hadst 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 saidst 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.”
