    Chapter 418 Special Treatment


    Symeon’s phone buzzed.


    He took a nce and saw that it was Elizabeth calling.


    He could already imagine what she wanted to say, probably wanting toin.


    He swiped open the screen and pressed it to his car. “Aren’t you supposed to be having dinner with


    your parents at this time? How do you have time to call me?”


    “Symeon, hasn’t the butler told you about what happened today? I thought the Lawrence Family’s


    butler would be very diligent, but it appears he’s rather unprofessional.” Elizabeth’s words were full of


    sarcasm.


    Symeon chuckled lightly. “He did tell me. Isn’t it a matter of you two pping each other? Neither of


    you. suffered any loss, so what’s there to be concerned about?”


    His casual tone infuriated Elizabeth on the other end of the line.


    “Do you really like that woman so much? Is that why you let her have your child? I really don’t


    understand what’s so special about her. There are plenty of women who are more beautiful than her.


    Why does she hold such a special ce in your heart?”


    Actually, Elizabeth wanted to convey that she didn’t think there was anything about her that made her


    inferior to Amanda. So, why couldn’t Symeon take notice of her?


    As Symeon listened to the woman venting on the phone, he remained expressionless. “Are you done?


    Hang up if you are. I’m about to have my meal.”


    With that, he abruptly hung up the phone, leaving no room for Elizabeth to retort.


    Amanda and her son were already seated and having their meal in the dining room.


    Symeon was concerned they wouldn’t be ustomed to the food, so he instructed the kitchen to


    prepare Cludan cuisine.


    He looked at the bowl of noodles in front of Amanda, emitting a fragrant aroma. Next to her, the little


    guy was eating the noodles with such dedication, as if that bowl was his whole world.


    Symeon sat on the chair and gazed at the little guy, asking, “Is it delicious?”


    Though he hadn’t been fond of children, the thought that this was his child made him more patient.


    Baby nced at Symeon but didn’t respond. Instead, he scooted closer to Amanda and whispered,


    “Mommy, has Daddy been naughty recently?”


    Amanda frowned. “What did you say?”


    For a moment, she didn’t understand what her son was saying.


    Baby looked at Symeon timidly and continued, “Then, why did you change daddies for me?”


    Amanda and Symeon exchanged nces, falling into silence and even feeling lost for words.


    Symeon didn’t say anything but directed his gaze toward Amanda, signaling for her to exin.


    On the contrary, she couldn’t be bothered to rify. All she wanted was to take her child and leave this


    ce as soon as possible.


    At that moment, she only realized that these circumstances also impacted her child’s young, innocent


    heart.


    At such a tender age, the little one might ponder, Didn’t I just recognize a Daddy? Why is there a new


    Daddy again? Why are there new Daddies everywhere?


    Amanda lowered her head and whispered in Baby’s ear in a voice only the two could hear, “We didn’t


    change daddies. We’re just guests at this person’s house. You have to behave. Otherwise, this kick us


    out, and when Daddy finds out, he’ll spank you again.”


    Baby’s big, grape-like eyes widened as he looked at Amanda, who nodded seriously. person will


    Left with no choice, he could only sit obediently in the chair and eat his noodles. He quickly finished the


    noodles in his bowl and hopped off the chair, announcing, “Mommy, I’m going to bed now. Bye-bye!”


    By the time Amanda reacted, her son had already disappeared.


    She smiled helplessly. Well, the security measures here were quite reliable, so her son wouldn’t get


    lost anyway.


    Meanwhile, Symeon had already signaled the nanny nearby to follow Aiden. The nanny nodded and


    left.


    However, he was a little curious about what Amanda had just said. Why did that little guy cast such a


    peculiar gaze his way?


    “What did you say to Aiden just now? Why does he seem a little afraid of me?”


    “Oh, nothing much. I just told him to be obedient. You have a bit of a short temper, and I said you might


    spank him if he misbehaves.”


    Amanda ate her noodles slowly while the man’s face turned dark. intentionally creating a bad image of


    me in Aiden’s mind? What if he doesn’t get close to me after


    “Are you you’re gone?”


    Amanda sneered inwardly.


    Heh.


    She had no intention of letting Baby get close to this Lawrence guy anyway since the child wasn’t even


    his, to begin with.


    However, for the safety of Elias in Cludan, she still had to endure it for now.


    After seeing her remain silent, Symeon pressed on. “Or maybe you’re doing it on purpose, not letting


    the child leave you so that you can stay by my side forever?”


    deliberately


    Amanda’s lips twitched involuntarily at the corner. This man waspletely narcissistic.


    Did he really think that all women desired to stay by his side? How ridiculous!


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    Amanda continued eating her noodles. After finishing thest bite, she wiped her mouth with a napkin


    and responded, “You’re thinking too much. I don’t want to stay by your side forever. I can’t even use my


    phone. What’s the point of such a life?”


    After speaking, she got up and left the dining room while Symeon was left sitting there, looking at the


    empty bowls of the mother and son. He couldn’t help butugh.


    This mother-and-son duo was quite interesting, and he was the one who had brought them into this


    situation.


    The butler walked into the dining room and looked at the absent-minded master. He spoke, “Master,


    you seem to have a lot of patience for Miss Bailey.”


    Normally, he had never seen the master disying this kind of patience with any woman, not even his


    fiancée, Miss Elizabeth.


    Symeon snapped back to reality. “Really?”


    “Yes, even Miss Elizabeth hasn’t received this kind of treatment.”


    Symeon fell into silence. He didn’t think he was giving Amanda any special treatment, but he had


    indeed. grown ustomed to having her by his side.


    Suddenly, he contemted that if this mother and son continued to stay by his side all the time, their


    presence would probably inject some color into his otherwise monotonous and boring future.


    Back in the hospital in Cludan, although Yacob had already set off, a new set of guards was stationed


    at the ward, so Rosie still couldn’t get in.


    Every day, she yearned to go inside and see Elias, but no matter who she encountered, they wouldn’t


    let her in.


    It had already been seven days. Apart from returning home to shower and change clothes, Rosie


    hadn’t left the hospital. She was practically glued to the ce.


    Even her brother, Taylor, couldn’t stand her anymore. He sent someone to the hospital to bring her


    home, but it was useless. She just refused to leave.


    “Please, just let me go in and take a look. I promise I’ll just take a nce!” Rosie pleaded desperately.


    The guards on duty appeared troubled. “Miss Rosie, please don’t make things difficult for us. We’re just


    following orders. Yacob had emphasized many times before he left that we shouldn’t allow you inside.


    sorry.”


    Rosie hung her head in defeat, then sat back in the nearby rest area.


    Suddenly, the medical equipment in the ward started to sound an rm as if something had happened.


    The guards immediately pushed open the door and went in to check. Rosie also rushed in, her face full


    of anxiety as she approached the bed.
