The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 151 What a Heartwarming Sight

Elias replied, “I’m fine with it. It’s up to your mom.”

He passed on the question directly to Amanda, as if she would be a sinner if she were to refuse.

Aiden thus looked at Amanda with anticipation. “Mommy, is that okay? Can we let Uncle Elias sleep in the same bed with us? That way, he can protect us at all times. Please!” he pleaded, not forgetting to tug at his mother’s hand like a pampered child.

She was utterly speechless. This little brat spends every moment looking out for the interests of his scumbag of a father. As expected of Elias’ own son! Seeing the faint smile curving the man’s lips, she shot him a glare, chiding. “What are you smiling at? You intended this from the start, didn’t you?”

Elias replied with a mask of seriousness in an extremely shameless manner, “It’s Aiden who wants us to sleep in the same bed. Did I say anything? And besides, it’s normal for a kid to be afraid, so we should satisfy his demands.”

Amanda was lost for words for a while… “Alright, it’s okay if you’re not afraid that way.” She smiled at Aiden. When she turned her gaze to Elias, however, her face wore a different expression, with eyes that seemed to say. Look how I’m gonna kick you out of bed once Baby is asleep!

It’s not Comfortable sleeping on the couch, Aiden said, jumping from the couch to the rug before boldly trotting toward the bedroom, as if he had nothing to fear anymore in the presence of Elias. Nevertheless, he stopped at the bedroom door to look back at the man. “Come over here, Uncle Elias. You go in and lie in bed first.”

Elias frowned at his timid demeanor. Is it even proper for a man to be so afraid of ghosts? Slowly, he stood up and walked toward the boy.
