The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 99 How Could She Be So Evil?

“You’re the best, Selina,” Amanda said. “I am already embarrassed by how much you had to take cale of me years ago. Now, you’re taking care of my son in the same way. Thank you so much,

Selina.”

Suddenly, Amanda thought Selina was just like a mother with her kind and warm aura.

“Oh, right. I’ve always wanted to ask you this; who is the boy’s father? Are you… divorced? The question had been bothering Selina the entire time, but she just could not find a chance to pop the question.

Amanda’s smile slowly faded away and she sighed. Yes. We’ve been divorced for four years. Aiden had never seen his father before, but he is always yearning for one. Sometimes, I feel guilty for what I’ve done to him.”

She glanced out of the kitchen into the living room where Aiden was intently watching his

cartoons.

Sympathy flashed in Selina’s eyes. “I see. Well, children all need a father. If it’s possible, let him meet his father. Over the past few days, whenever I dropped him off at kindergarten, he would always stare in envy at the other children’s fathers.”

That tugged at Amanda’s heartstrings.

Aiden had recently stopped talking to her about looking for his father. He had also started to avoid telling her she had to make Frederick his father. She thought it was just a phase like most children would go through.

She did not expect to hear him… admire others for having fathers.

Selina continued, “Aiden is such a considerate young man. When I asked him why he doesn’t tell you he wants a father, he replied that you are going through your own difficulties as well, that it’s hard to be a mother. He said that no man alive was a good match for you. Once, he had a suitable candidate in mind, but you didn’t like the man. Since you don’t like the man, he wouldn’t like the man either. He only wants you to be happy.”

Tears swelled in Amanda’s eyes by the time Selina finished speaking.

Her son was very considerate and mature.

Her love for him had not been in vain.

“I suddenly feel immature. How is a child more considerate than I am?” She felt a lump in her throat

Selina smiled and placed a hand on her shoulder. “You have such an amazing son, making me
