Chapter 148


    Chapter 148 Is it Really Haunted?


    Elias deliberately maintained a calm demeanor. “It’s nothing serious. Someone jumped off the rooftop


    of Building Five, and there have been rumors of supernatural events since then. However, I’m sure you


    don’t believe in those things, so there’s nothing to worry about.”


    When Amanda heard that, she became speechless instantly. Why didn’t this jerk mention it earlier? If


    he had told me earlier, I would have found another ce. Now that we’re already here and it’s getting


    dark, it’s toote for us to find another house. At the very least, we will have to stay here tonight. Why


    do I feel like I’ve been fooled?


    She then cleared her throat. “As awyer, I don’t believe in those things. Supernatural events are just a


    product of people’s fears. Nheless, she was genuinely afraid of those things.


    Meanwhile, Elias could see through her facade of pretending to be strong. A smile appeared at the


    corners of his mouth as he slowly stood up. “Well, I’ll be leaving now. Call me if you need anything. I’ll


    be working overtime at the office tonight, but I cane over within minutes.”


    “Alright, thank you.” She found it strange that he didn’t insist on staying. Has he really changed? As she


    followed closely behind him, she saw him off at the door.


    When Elias arrived at the door, he seemed to remember something all of a sudden, so he turned


    around and said, “By the way, there are fresh ingredients in the refrigerator. You should cook dinner for


    Aidenter instead of ordering takeout. They’re not hygienic.”


    “I got it.” She nodded.


    As he left the house and closed the door, Amanda felt a sense of relief.


    She had been constantly moving houses during this period, and it had made her mentally exhausted. I


    hope we can stay here a little longer this time.


    At that moment, Aiden, who had finished exploring the entire house, finally came out. “This ce is fun.


    Mommy. Can we stay here forever?” His face was full of anticipation, for he also hated moving houses.


    It took him a long time to adapt each time.


    Amanda plopped on the couchzily and said, “Baby, what do you want for dinner? I’ll cook for you.”


    “Hmm… I want spaghetti,” he replied after considering it seriously for a moment.


    This little brat loves eating spaghetti. It’s something we have inmon. She thought spaghetti was


    the simplest to make and easiest way to get full. “Okay, let me rest for a bit before making spaghetti for


    you.”


    After that, Aiden picked up the remote control and turned on the TV, searching for an anime series to


    watch. “Mommy, is this Mr. Winters’ house?”


    “Yes.” Suddenly, she thought about something and sat up. “Baby, are you not going to talk to Mr.


    Winters anymore? Even if his house has an amusement park and cars in the garage, do you not want


    to talk to him anymore?”


    He nodded. “Mr. Winters is scary, I don’t want to talk to him. He’s so fierce!


    For some reason, she felt a little happy deep down. If that’s the case, it will be difficult for Ehai to


    compete for custody, and my baby’s attention will solely be on me.


    “Okay. Enjoy your anime. Don’t sit too close to the TV, alright? I will make some spaghetti for you now”


    She smiled as she got up and walked toward the kitchen.


    Meanwhile, in a car downstairs, Elias was seated in the backseat, closing his eyes as if he were


    resting.


    “Are we really going to do this, Mr. Winters? I’m afraid it will scare Miss Bailey and Aiden.” Yacob


    couldn’t help but speak up. Although Elias imed it was to improve their father-son rtionship, this


    n seemed excessive.


    “I can’t worry about that anymore. Have you taken care of everything I asked you to do?”


    “It’s all been taken care of. Everything has been set up, and it will start once the switch is activated.”


    Yacob handed a tablet to the man in the backseat. Last night, he had already set up the house


    ording to Elias” instructions, all for the purpose of staging a heroic rescue of Amanda and Aiden


    tonight.


    After Elias took the tablet, he saw the live surveince feed of everything happening inside the house.


    At that moment, Aiden was watching TV on the couch while Amanda prepared dinner in the kitchen.


    He nced at the time on his wrist and realized it was still early; it was only a little past 8.00PM.


    It isn’t time yet. “I’ll take a nap. Wake me up around 11.00PM” He then put the tablet aside and leaned


    back against the car seat, closing his eyes.


    Yacob responded, “Okay.” Yet, he sighed deep down. Why go to such lengths? If we really scare Miss


    Bailey and the child, they will be traumatized. I just don’t understand what Mr. Winters is thinking


    After the mother and son finished their spaghetti, Amanda bathed Aiden and got ready for bed,


    intending to put him to sleep,


    It was already past 10.00PM when she finally managed to lull him to sleep. He always had trouble


    sleeping whenever they moved to a new ce, and it took a long time for her to settle him down.


    Seeing him sound asleep, she quietly got up and prepared to take a hot bath herself before going to


    sleep.


    Inside the bathroom, she soaked herself in the bathtub and added some essential oils for rxation:


    When she closed her eyes, she felt so rxed that she nearly fell asleep.


    At this moment, it was almost IL00PM.


    Suddenly, she heard faint noisesing from the house, disturbing her drowsiness. She leaned


    against the bathtub, thinking she must have misheard, but the sounds gradually became clearer.


    She couldn’t help feeling nervous and woke uppletely. After she got out of the bathtub, she


    wrapped. towel around herself.


    The house, which was over 3,000 square feet, seemed quiterge. Her first instinct was to check on


    the sleeping child in his room.


    When she pushed the door open and found him sleeping peacefully, she heaved a sigh of relief.


    Just then, another round of strange rattles came from the living room. Amanda was on tenterhooks


    once again.


    The moment she arrived in the living room, the sounds disappeared. This made her start to doubt her


    own cars. Why do I keep hearing thingst


    Just as she thought they might be auditory hallucinations due to fatigue, the strange sounds returned.


    Rattle, rattle, rattle…..


    She turned around sharply and looked at the floor-to-ceiling windows. The curtains were tightly drawn.


    and the sound seemed to being from behind them.


    When she noticed that, she couldn’t help but swallow nervously. “Who’s there? Show yourself!” Her


    heartbeat elerated, and she didn’t dare approach or open the curtains.


    Suddenly, the sound stopped.


    Just then, she heard another sounding from the direction of the dressing room. It seemed like a


    woman humming!


    Terrified, every hair on her body stood on end. How could a woman be humming in this house? There’s


    only me and Aiden here.


    She quickly remembered what Elias had said about a suicidal incident and asked if she was afraid of


    any supernatural events. Is this ce actually haunted?


    Her legs were trembling now, and she didn’t have the courage to look inside the dressing room. What if


    there really is a woman in there? She felt her sanity crumbling.


    However, the woman’s humming from the dressing room grew louder. It was extremely eerie and


    terrifying.


    She clutched the towel around her chest tightly and stood still in fear, her face pale.N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
