Chapter 147 Elias’ Trick
“What makes you think I’d agree to it?” Amanda gave him a look of ridicule.
“I’ll let you stay there for free.”
This b*stard. Amanda took a deep breath and said, “I would rather pay double the rent than have you
staying with us! No!” With that, she stormed back into the house without sparing him a nce.
Elias was upset since he couldn’t get Amanda to say yes. After all, if he let this be, Aiden would hate
him even more. Thus, he had to think of a way to solve this!
Suddenly, an idea came to his mind, and he smiled.
Tomorrow, they’ll definitely ask me to stay the night, thought Elias as his smile widened. Then, he
entered the car and drove away.
The next day, Elias went to Gxy Bay to pick them up. Since Aiden was afraid of him, Elias didn’t pick
him up at the kindergarten, which caused him to break his promise to Howard about taking Aiden to the
manor. Thus, Howard called him and scolded him.
“If you dare make my grandson cry, I will kick you out of the house! Why did you have to fight in front of
him? You’re already a father, yet you still act like a child! You must fix this!”
Yacob parked the car in front of the vi and noticed Elias” annoyed expression.
Elias pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed. “I know, I’m trying to think of a way. I’ll talk to you
later.” As soon as he hung up the call, he felt peace. Grandpa sure is getting annoying as he grows
older,
“We’re here, Mr. Winters,” said Yacob.
Elias exited the car and pressed the doorbell. He adjusted his expression since he had to act kind to
Aiden, Otherwise, the boy would be more afraid of him.
After some time, the door opened, and out came Amanda. She held a suitcase in one hand with Aiden
in the other.
When Aiden saw who was by the door, he hid behind Amanda quickly, seemingly as if he had seen a
ghost,
Looking at his reaction, Elias had a grim expression and wondered if he looked terrifying.
Elias grabbed Amanda’s suitcase and said, “Get in the car.”
Amanda nodded and ruffled Aiden, who was evidently nervous. “It’s okay. We are going to our new
house.”
Aiden grabbed Amanda’s clothes tightly and looked at Elias warily.
Elias frowned at his reaction. I have to fix this quickly. Otherwise, our rtionship will only worsen.
After Amanda and Aiden got into the car, Elias entered too, Just as he was about to sit beside Aiden,
thetter crawled over Amanda to get to the other side. In that split second, Elias was upset. Do I look
like a monster? Why is he so afraid of met
Amanda ruffled Aiden’s hair and asked, “What are you doing?”
“I don’t want to sit with Mr. Winters. I want to sit with you,” Aiden said truthfully.
Sometimes, children said the most hurtful words since they were straightforward.
Elias’ expression darkened when he heard Aiden’s words, but he could only suppress his emotions
since he had scared Aidenst night. Thus, Aiden saw him as the most vicious person in the world.
She couldn’t help but chuckle. After all, she knew he had brought this upon himself. If anyone could go
against Elias, it would be Aiden.
On their way to the new ce, none of them said anything. Aiden grabbed Amanda’s hand and snuck
the asional nce at Elias. When Elias looked at him, Aiden immediately turned away, pretending
to look at the window. On the other hand, Amanda smiled since she knew Elias was going crazy. After
all, Aiden treated him like a monster.
Soon, they arrived at their destination.
As the car slowly drove into the entrance, Amanda saw themunity’s name-Northern No. 1.
This was one of the wealthiestmunities in Imperia. It had a great location and was close to thew
firm, which would only take her about ten minutes ofmute. Plus, only those who were rich or had
authority could stay in this apartment. After all, it cost several million per house. However, Amanda
wasn’t surprised that Elias had a home here since it was very convenient
The car stopped at Building Five, and Yacob got out of the car to unload their luggage. When Aiden
exited the car, he was still keeping his distance from Elias, which made thetter very angry.
Forget it. He’s only a child, he thought.
They took the elevator to the 12th floor. Yacob dragged the luggage and opened the door for them.
“After you, Miss Bailey.”
“Thank you, Yacob,” replied Amanda as she and Aiden entered the unit.
Elias looked at Yacob and instructed, “Wait for me in the car.”
“Yes,” replied Yacob. Then, he walked toward the elevator.
After that, Elias entered the ce. Whenever he had a busy schedule, he would stay here since it
would only take a few minutes to get to thepany.
He entered the living room and went straight to the couch while Amanda and Aiden looked around. The
interior spanned across 3,000 square feet, and the house looked sparkling clean.

“Have you stayed here before?” asked Amanda.
“Yes, I stay here whenever I’m in a hurry. After all, it’s close to thepany,” Elias replied.
In the meantime, Aiden was nowhere to be seen as he looked around the house.
“Don’t run around, Aiden! Do you hear me? Don’t fool around!” Amanda shouted.
“I know that, Mommy! You’re so annoying!” Aiden’s voice came from somewhere else.
Suddenly, Elias said, “Do you and Aiden believe in the supernatural?”
At that moment, Amanda was startled. “What are you talking about?”
“It’s nothing. It’s probably just a rumor,” said Elias. “By the way, the password is your birthday. You can
also use your fingerprint. Do you want me to set it up for you?”
“It’s fine. I’ll just unlock it with the passcode. What were you saying about the supernatural, though?”
Amanda was curious. After all, she was afraid of ghosts and monsters. Even a horror movie was
enough to scare her to death.
