Chapter 235


    Chapter 235 How Pretentious!


    Back inside the car. Elias put on his seatbelt and could not help but take another close look at the


    picture. The girl remained utterly familiar to him. “Where have I seen you before…” he muttered.


    Since he still had no recollection, he ced the frame on the passenger seat and drove away.


    Suddenly, his phone began vibrating, so he nced at it and saw it was from Amanda. How


    astonishing was it that she was still willing to call him despite their situation?


    He hesitated momentarily before picking up the call. As he expected, the voice that sounded was not


    hers but Aiden’s. “Daddy! What are you doing?


    Hearing his son’s voice, the man unconsciously smiled. Tm driving. I’m heading home to sleep”


    “Home? Are youing back to Mommy’s home?” The child’s voice was filled with excitement


    The man smiled somewhat resignedly. “No, I’m busytely, so I’m sleeping at the office.”


    “But you said you are going home to sleep. Is your office also your home? Imph

    When Elias heard the child’s angry retort, he smiled even brighter. “Why aren’t you asleep? Don’t you


    have school tomorrow?”


    “No, I don’t! You don’t care about me at all. Tomorrow’s the weekend, so I don’t have school. Can you


    y with me tomorrow? I don’t want to stay home.”


    That made Elias frown. He had to meet a few clients tomorrow, so he might not have the time to


    apany Aiden, but.. he did not want to reject his son’s request either. After all, he had already


    missed four years of his son’s life, so why waste any more time?


    “Alright, you be good and go to bed. I’ll be there to bring you out once you wake up. How about that?”


    “Yay! You’re the best, Daddy,”


    “Go to bed now. Good night.”


    “Good night, Daddy.”


    Once the call ended, the man smiled happily. Everything that happened recently was troublesome, and


    only hearing the kid’s voice could elicit a genuine smile on his face.


    After returning to the office, Elias ced the picture frame on the side and dialed a number. “Come


    over to get the photo and restore the girl’s face twenty yearster. Give it to me as soon as you can.”


    Once he hung up, his thoughts fell onto the picture again. Stephanie did not look much simr to her


    sister, and Amelia looked utterly familiar to someone he seemed to know. He stared at the picture for a


    long time, thinking the little girl was somehow close to him…..


    The following morning at Northern No. 1, Aiden woke up and obediently washed up to change himself.


    Then, he went to have breakfast and sat in the living room waiting patiently. Selina was shocked by the


    scene and wondered what happened to the little fellow to make him suddenly so obedient.


    The bedroom door opened, and Amanda came out, yawning. Just as she was asking what was for


    breakfast, she noticed the neatly dressed Aiden sitting on the couch and was shocked for seconds.


    Then, she turned to Selina, asking, “Why did you wake him up so early? He doesn’t have school today.


    Selina shrugged, looking like she had nothing to do with this. “Not on me. Aiden woke up early and


    prepared all on his own. He’s been this way since he finished his breakfast. I don’t know what’s going


    on either.”


    What’s this kid up to? Amanda narrowed her eyes and sat on the couch, eyeing the child. And he


    specially worr his tiny suit? It’s like he’s going on a date or something. Is there a need to be this formal?


    The suit he was wearing was the one she had previously forced him to wear because he looked


    handsome in it. The kid was reluctant toply back then and even vowed never to wear it again.


    What’s up with him today? Why did he obediently wear this suit? He does look cute and handsome in


    it, but he’s so tiny…


    “Aiden Bailey, what are you up to? Why are you wearing a suit? Are you going on a date or something?


    “Mommy, you’re annoying me. Eat your breakfast. Miss Selina worked hard to make it.” Then, he


    looked at Selina. “Miss Selina, what time is it? Is it still morning?”


    “Uhm… Of course, it’s still morning. It’s only past 7.00AM.”


    “Then, why isn’t he here?” The kid clearly remembered his father saying he could bring him out in the


    morning, but it was already time, so where was he?


    Amanda asked, “Whom are you waiting for?”


    Feeling aggrieved, the kid pouted his lips and was in no mood to talk to her. He now suspected that his


    father had forgotten about him, just like his mommy always forgot what she promised. The kid angrily


    mumbled, “Hmph! Adults are always like that. They don’t keep their word, and he said he woulde


    to pick me up when I opened my eyes this morning. Liar!”


    “What are you mumbling about? What about grownups? Aiden, I demand that you make things clear!”


    Amanda was confused as she watched the kid change from being happy to being excited and then


    bing disappointed and aggrieved.


    Why is he acting up? And he’s wearing his suit. What special day is it?


    Just as she was wondering, the kid dejectedly got off the couch, seemingly not in the mood to entertain


    anyone, and even seemed like he was about to cry.


    Noticing something wrong, she approached her son and embraced him. “Baby, tell me, what’s the


    matter? Did someone give you a hard time?”


    Right then, the doorbell rang. Aiden suddenly jumped off his mother’sp and ran toward the door with


    glistening eyes. He then opened up with his tiny hands. “Daddy! You’re finally here!”


    His screams almost scared Amanda and Selina, who both shot up and discovered it was Elias.


    Instantly, Amanda looked grim as she realized her son was all dressed up and woke up early for his


    arrival. It’s just Elias. Does he need to dress up so nicely?


    Truth be told, she was somewhat jealous. Especially when she remembered how Elias, the se*mbag,


    said he did not want his son at the parking lot back then. Now he was pretending to be a loving father,


    lying to Aiden.


    When Elias saw Aiden opening the door, he smiled and bent over to pick him up. “Let me take care of


    Aiden today. You guys can rest for the day,” he informed the two women.


    Amanda initially wanted to say something but stopped because she did not want to argue with him in


    front of their child. Meanwhile, Selina smiled and replied. “Thank you.”


    “Come on, let’s go. He left with the child in his arms.


    “Where are we going. Daddy?”


    “First stop is mypany. That’s where I work.”


    While listening to the conversation between the two, Amanda unhappily plopped onto the couch and


    crossed her arms, muttering. “How pretentious of him! Acting like a loving father.”
