The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 248 I’ll Come to You Guys

The call was made, but nobody answered even after ringing for a long time, for right then, Elias was in a meeting with his phone on silent mode.

Amanda said to Aiden helplessly, “He’s not answering. He’s probably busy with something. How about we try again tomorrow?”

“The flowers won’t look good anymore tomorrow, though…” said little Aiden dejectedly, looking at the big bouquet.

“Well, there’s nothing we can do. We can’t reach Daddy if he doesn’t answer his phone.”

Frankly speaking. Amanda thought it was better if they didn’t meet up, for she didn’t know how to face him at the moment.

She already wanted to completely cut ties with Elias, but lo and behold, Grace showed up, and Elias shielded her from the sulfuric acid attack, leaving her conflicted. Should she hate this man now or treat him like an old friend?

Little Aiden grumbled wordlessly, seemingly upset. He compromised in the end, for he knew there was no other way around this. “Okay…”

Amanda could tell that the little guy was worried the flowers would wither by tomorrow. At that, she ruffled her hair and said, “Cheer up, alright, bubba? I know how to keep the flowers fresh.”

“Really?!”

“Of course. When have I ever lied to you? It’s still early. How about we watch a movie before going home?”

She decided she shou

take the little guy to the movies lest he grumbled all night.

“Okay!” Aiden instantly perked up, his attention successfully diverted.

Amanda smiled, took his little hand, and left the hospital.

After arriving at the parking lot, Amanda placed the fruits and bouquet on the back seat, then strapped Aiden into the child safety seat.

Just then, her phone rang.

Amanda froze for a second upon seeing the caller ID-it was Elias.
