    Chapter 184 Escape n


    Aiden earnestly said, “Great-Grandpa took me to see Grandpa and said he lives in that photo. It’s so


    scary…”


    Amanda’s expression wentplex. Why would Howard say such things to a little child? Aiden is only


    three years old and doesn’t understand the concept of death yet, only finding it terrifying.


    She handed the milk bottle to the kid. “Good boy, drink your milk.” Then, she walked toward the terrace


    as well.


    On the terrace, Elias could not bear it any longer. He dialed Howard’s number once again, and when


    the call connected, he did not wait for the other person to speak and started yelling, “Howard Winters,


    what are you trying to do? Why are you telling a three-year-old child all that nonsense? Are you trying


    to scare the child and make him sick?”


    He called out Howard’s full name directly, something he had never done before.


    Howard, on the other end, was taken aback. After a long pause, he shouted back into the phone, “You


    little brat, have you grown tired of living?! How dare you address me by my full name! Is it even your


    ce to do that?!”


    Even he did not expect that his grandson would one day address him by his full name. That left him.


    stunned for a while.


    “Well, don’t you think you’ve gone too far? Children are naturally timid. Why would you scare him like


    that?!” Elias was genuinely angry. Previously, he believed it was for his good no matter what Howard


    did, but now, he was furious.


    “Am I scaring him by introducing him to his grandpa? Shouldn’t he know who his grandfather is?”


    Elias listened to Howard’s stubborn tone over the phone and decided to hang up. There was simply no


    way tomunicate. He could not let the child go to Howard’s ce anymore. Otherwise, that man


    would asionally instill strange thoughts in the child and scare him half to death.


    Since it was quiet there, Amanda, who hade to the terrace, overheard the conversation. She


    realized how frightening Howard could be when he became stubborn. If this continued, she feared that


    he might kidnap Aiden one day. Next time, she might not be so fortunate to find her baby again.


    Her fingers clenched tightly by her sides, and a sudden thought emerged. I need to escape with Aiden.


    She regretted bringing him back to the country. It would have been better to stay abroad, where the


    Winters Family knew nothing about the child’s existence. Then, they would not try to take him away


    from her.


    Amanda stared at the man’s figure briefly before returning to the bedroom.


    Meanwhile, Elias stood on the terrace, feeling frustrated. Amanda and the child might never return to


    me if things continue to be like this. Besides, how can I handle the rtionship between them with


    Howard being so stubborn?


    He lit a cigarette, holding it between his lips, and gazed into the distance, lost in thought.


    Evening came, and Aiden gradually recovered and forgot about the ordeal with Howard. He soon


    resumed

    his lively and energetic behavior. Meanwhile, an urgent matter urred at thepany, requiring


    Elias. “There’s something urgent at work. I have to leave. Call me if you need anything.”


    Amanda nodded. “Yeah, sure.” However, in her heart, she was thinking about escaping abroad with her


    baby.


    He noticed her calm expression and felt strange, unable to describe what it was exactly. He continued,


    “I may not be able toe over in the next couple of days. Call me if anything happens. And don’t


    leave the child alone for a moment. Don’t go to the kindergarten for now. Grandpa might try to snatch


    him away.”


    Her heart skipped a beat, but she had already anticipated this. Howard would not give up easily. After


    all,


    stay home the child was the bloodline of the Winters Family. “Yes, I understand. I’ll take a few days off


    and with him. Don’t worry.”


    With that, he left with a sense of relief. However, he did not realize Amanda was already concocting an


    escape n.


    As soon as the door closed, the smile on her face vanished. She took out her phone and started


    booking ne tickets, not bearing another second and wanting to take her baby and leave.


    If Howard tried to hide Aiden again, she might seriously have a mental breakdown.


    Selina left the kitchen and asked, “Amanda, what do you want to eat tonight?” When she approached


    and saw Amanda booking a flight abroad, she was puzzled. Amanda, are you going on a business


    trip?”


    “No, I want to escape from here with Aiden,” she replied without looking up, quickly tapping the screen


    with her fingertips to book two ne tickets.


    “What? What do you mean?” Selina asked, confused.


    Amanda looked at her and said, “Selina, I might need to bring Aiden and settle abroad. Please forgive


    me for not disclosing the reason, but I must leave.”


    Selina was at a loss for how to react. She did not ask for a reason, although she felt a bit reluctant.


    “Well, I believe you have reasons for doing this, just like me divorcing. However, are you sure you can


    leave? 1 feel like your ex-husband won’t agree to let you go, especially with the child.” She expressed


    her concern.


    That was precisely what Amanda was worried about. She smiled lightly and said, “That’s why I said.


    ‘escape. Remember not to tell anyone. Otherwise, I won’t be able to get away.”


    She felt that her chances of sessfully escaping were slim by using this way. However, she had to


    give it a try. What if it worked?


    “In that case, you must be careful.” Selina could not help but worry.


    She smiled and said, “I’ll also need your cooperation. Otherwise, Elias will soon notice something


    amiss. Although he has a hot temper, he’s meticulous. He can sense even the slightest hint of


    abnormality.”


    “Of course. You helped me out of a difficult situation back then, so I’ll do my best to assist you,” Selina


    replied.


    For the next two days. Elias was busy withpany matters and back-to-back meetings that kept him


    upied without a break. Whenever he had a moment, though, he would call Amanda to inquire about


    their well-being.


    Hearing her and the little brat’s voices was the only thing that could relieve his exhaustion and allow


    him to work with peace of mind.


    Natasha approached him inside the meeting room, holding a stack of documents. “Mr. Winters, here


    are the documents for this meeting. Your eyes look a bit red. Did you not get enough rest? Do you


    need-”


    Before she could finish her sentence, the man’s voice turned stern. “Lazarus only had you y a role.


    There’s no need to take it so seriously. Amanda isn’t here these days, so you can take a break.”


    He regarded thisdy as a hired actress paid by Lazarus to do her job, but he did not consider that she


    had ulterior motives.


    For a moment, Natasha was startled. She nodded and said, “Alright.”


    She left the meeting room, and he let out a sneer as he watched her slender figure walk away. Lazarus


    sent thisdy to test me as well. Right? Haha… How naive.
