Chapter 386


    Chapter 386 Elias Is Back


    When Elias heard that, he was stunned for a second. I didn’t think something like that woulde out


    of my mouth either. Amanda. You’re the first person I’ve ever said something like that to.


    “What’s with the silence?” Amanda asked.


    “Well, I didn’t think I would say something like that either. If you want to hear more of that, I could


    always say that to you.” While Elias would never flirt with another woman like that, he had no problem


    doing that


    to Amanda.


    “Such a sweet-talker… I don’t like a man who flirts. So, when are youing back?” Amanda quickly


    changed the subject.


    “Maybe another 3 to 4 days. What’s wrong? Is there something urgent?” Elias lit up the cigarette in his


    mouth and took a puff on it.


    On the other hand, Amanda’s eyes darkened when she heard Elias’ response. 3 to 4 more days? Oh


    man, why is this taking so long? I wish Elias could know that I dare not leave home until he is back.


    Despite the thought of that, Amanda refused to add to Elias’ worry, knowing he was stressed enough


    with his work. After all, she knew Elias would immediately rush back home if she told him about their


    current situation. If he did that, his work and hispany’s image would be affected, which was not


    something that Amanda wanted.


    “Aiden and I will be waiting for you. We’ll see you home once you’re done with your work. Have a good


    rest for now. I bet you still have to wake up early tomorrow morning.”


    “Sure, babe. Send me a text message before you hit the hay. I want to know that you go to bed safe


    and


    sound.


    “Alright.” Amanda smiled helplessly and hung up the call, ready to take a shower. However, just when


    she entered the bathroom, she received a call from Symeon. After a brief hesitation, she reluctantly


    decided to answer it. “Why did you call?”

    “You’re going to stay home until Elias returns?” The man on the other side of the phone mocked


    Amanda, finding her actionughable.


    Amanda leaned on the doorframe and replied, “That’s because I want to stay home. What are you


    going to do about it?”


    “What about your son? Doesn’t he need to go to school? Don’t you know that you’re ruining his


    academics?”


    “He is still just in kindergarten. It’s not like taking a few days off is going to ruin his future. Thanks for


    asking, although I don’t think that’s necessary.”


    Amanda wanted to hang up the call right away, but Symeon said, “Despite your persistent denial that


    your child isn’t mine, the evidence found all suggest that I’rn indeed the father. Thus, I don’t understand


    why you keep denying the truth because it’s simply meaningless.”


    “Do you mean that fake DNA report? I don’t believe it. When Elias returns, I’m going to make sure he


    does a paternity test for further verification. Moreover, what other evidence do you have besides your


    paternity test report?”


    “I found a witness who saw you entering my room in that hotel anding out in a disheveled What do


    you think about that?


    manner.


    Amanda was stunned when she heard Symeon’s words. Wait, what? “I must say I’m really impressed,


    Mr. Lawrence. I never thought you could distort the whole story with so much fake evidence, as if your


    fabricated lies were the truth. Phew, I should be grateful that I’m rational and calm enough at the


    moment, or I would have fallen for his words easily.


    “It’s up to you to believe in me, but I’ve already sent the video to your email inbox. Check it out if you’re


    interested. As for the other evidence, I’m still in the midst of gathering them, but thus far, the most


    convincing one is the DNA paternity test report, which you won’t believe.”


    “You’re absolutely right. Like hell I’m going to buy that, unless you do another paternity test in Cludan.”


    Who the heck is going to believe some DNA paternity test report that’s fully in Esmorian? You’ve gotta


    be kidding me!


    “Well, since you said so, I’ll do as you wish, but what if the result is just the way I thought it would be?


    Would you still deny it?”


    Amanda replied in a serious manner, “If your DNA test report that is done in Cludan confirms your


    biological rtionship with Aiden, I’ll give him back to you with no question, but that will never happen.


    1 was the one who gave birth to my son, so, of course, I know who the father is!” What a joke! Elias is,


    of course, Aiden’s father! No one else but him!


    “Alright, remember your promise then. Cludanians don’t break their promises.”


    Amanda


    paused and responded by mocking Symeon. “You’re a fast learner, aren’t you? I never thought you’d


    know our traditional virtues so well.”


    “I didn’t have to learn. I grew up in Cludan and only moved to Esmos when I grew older.”


    What am I doing? I shouldn’t be wasting time chatting with this man! At the thought of that, Amanda


    indifferently hung up the call. She then stood in front of the basin and looked at herself in the mirror.


    telling herself that she must hang in there until Elias returned. Otherwise, Symeon could abduct her


    and threaten Elias with that. The Lawrence Family is not someone to be trifled with.


    For the next four days, Amanda continued to stay home with her son as she intended until Elias


    returned. “I’m going to the airport to pick Elias up. Would you like toe with me?” Yacob asked.


    “Yes, I have something to tell him. Let’s set off right away Amanda agreed without hesitation, thinking


    she must also bring her son along. Thus, she searched the house for Aiden until she found him ying


    with his Lego. “Aiden, we’re heading to the airport now. Dad ising back.”


    Nevertheless, Aiden reacted indifferently as he grunted coldly and continued to y with his toys.


    Then. Amanda walked up to him and rubbed his head. “Hey, I’m talking to you, Aiden. Why are you


    grunting like a piglet?”


    “I’m not a piglet, but that doesn’t mean I can’t grunt. Dad didn’t keep his promise, and I don’t like him


    for that.” Aiden was mad at Elias for not returning home within three days as he had promised.


    “Dad was busy, but now he is back, plus he brought you a present, so aren’t you curious to find out


    what it


    is?


    “But… I still hate Dad for not keeping his promise.”


    Amanda then crouched down and coaxed her son. That’s why we’re going to meet your Dad and make


    him apologize to you, right? Give him a chance, would you?”


    “Fine. Aiden acted like he was forced to tag along.


    At the same time, Yacob, who witnessed the boy’s reaction, helplessly shook his head, thinking Elias


    would be so disappointed if he could see Aiden’s expression.


    Soon, the three of them made their way to the airport. An hourter, they arrived at their destination


    and waited for Elias to show up. When the man finally showed up at the arrival gate, Amanda’s eyes lit


    up because she was able to quickly spot him among the crowd.


    “Come on, Aiden. It’s Dad. He is out. Amanda kept encouraging Aiden to greet Elias, but the kid was


    still angry. Thus, he only stood still in ce with his arms folded, responding with a cold grunt.


    Amanda shrugged her shoulders at Elias and silently spoke by puckering her lips. “Your son is mad.”


    After seeing Amanda’s reaction, Elias immediately knew what was going on. He then curled his lips.


    upward and walked up to Aiden, whereupon he carried him in his arms. “I heard some kid is angry with


    his dad. Let me see who he is. Hmm?”


    “Hmph!” Aiden jutted his chin belligerently without looking at his father.
