The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 266

Chapter 266 Is Reconciliation Impossible for You Two?

Jack looked up at Elias and asked, “Will you give me a call the next time you take the little guy out? Edith and I will join you.”

They usually had no chance to be alone with Aiden, plus Amanda wouldn’t agree to it either.

It suddenly felt quite sad. So what if his career was successful?! The daughter he lost twenty years ago now looked at him like a stranger.

It was because he and his wife were too busy with work that they accidentally lost their eldest daughter. Fortunately, they found her eventually, or they would regret it for the rest of their lives.

Late at night, in his dreams, he would often dream of Amelia being mercilessly harmed, unable to even find her body. So, he found the DNA test surreal when he first saw it, unable to believe that their daughter had returned.

Elias nodded. “I’ll take Aiden out to play every weekend, and the weekend is coming again in two days. I’ll let you know then.”

Jack hummed a response, then reluctantly returned Elias his phone before saying, “I have a question for you.”

What is it?” Though he already had a rough idea of what it could be.

“Why did you and Amanda divorce, and why did you let her raise Aiden alone? Do you know how tough it is for a woman to raise a child on her own?” Jack questioned Elias entirely from a father’s perspective.

Elias remained calm and spoke up slowly. “I did some messed up things back in the day, and I had selfish reasons for divorcing her. But regarding Aiden, I didn’t know she was pregnant with him at the time, let alone the fact that she was raising him alone. That’s why I’m making amends as much as I can.”

For a moment, it seemed that they were in a similar situation; both fathers had been missing from their children’s lives and now were trying to make up for lost years as much as possible.
