The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 265

Any Other Instructions, Miss Bailey?

Jack wanted to argue further, but Edith held him back and explained to Amanda patiently. “You’ve mistaken. Your father and I aren’t here to take your son away. We’re just here to see him. We’re worried that you don’t want to see us if we go to your place. So, we thought about taking a peek=”

However, before Edith could finish her explanation, Amanda interrupted her mercilessly. “You call this ‘taking a peek? You’re already standing right in front of Aiden!”

With that, Amanda handed Aiden to Selina and said, “You two get to the car first.”

Selina nodded in acknowledgment and took Aiden to Amanda’s car.

Edith was instantly speechless, realizing that there was indeed nothing left to explain.

When they came, they genuinely just wanted to take a peek at Aiden, but when they saw how happy he was, they couldn’t help wanting to get closer to him.

“I’m sorry. It’s our fault…” Edith apologized.

Jack couldn’t help feeling upset, seeing how humble his wife was behaving toward their long-lost daughter. They were her elders, her parents; why should they act so subservient?!

“We’re your parents, not your enemies. Must you treat us like this?” Jack reprimanded.

Amanda sniggered, her laughter filled with mockery. “My parents? The last time we saw each other was over twenty years ago. And might I remind you, Mr. Allegra, of the way you treated me on our first meeting. Was it any different from treating an enemy?”

She still remembered it like it was just yesterday, Jack had asked her to prepare a prenuptial agreement for Stephanie. It was evident he knew she was Elias’ ex-wife and wanted to humiliate her.

Jack fell silent. He’d be lying if he said it was unintentional. That said, he didn’t know she was his dear Amelia at the time.
