The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 205 Cold and Distant

At their home in Northern No. 1, Amanda and Aiden were having their meal around the table. The young boy was pigging out on the food as he found it delicious.

On the other hand, Amanda didn’t have much appetite. Her mind was occupied by the accusations of Jennifer and Oscar.

It was just then that Selina came over with a bowl of pumpkin soup. “Hurry up and eat it. The food won’t be as delicious when it’s not warm.”

“Alright.” Amanda forced a smile and started having her food.

The doorbell rang just then, so Selina took off her apron and said, “Go on having your food. I’ll answer the door.”

Then, she shuffled toward the door. When she registered Elias’ presence through the monitor, she was surprised.

She turned to look at Amanda and whispered, “It’s your ex-husband. Do you want to open the door?” Perhaps Amanda doesn’t want to see him now.

Amanda froze for a moment before replying, “Yes, please do.”

Upon hearing that, Aiden stopped having his food and looked awkwardly at Amanda before saying, “Mommy, I need to use the bathroom.”

“Go ahead.”

Aiden put down his spoon and leaped away from the chair before running toward the bathroom. It wasn’t certain if he was trying to avoid seeing Elias and really needed to use the bathroom.

Selina opened the door and saw Elias standing outside. His black suit made him look gloomy.
