The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 313 A Match Made in Heaven

Rosie took careful bites and chewed slowly like a prim and proper lady.

While Aiden’s parents tended to his meal, Aiden’s eyes remained fixed on Rosie. No one knew what he was staring at.

Rosie lifted her eyes and saw the little boy staring at her.

She smiled gently and said sweetly, “Why are you staring at me, Aiden? Is there something on my face?”

Aiden asked earnestly. “Do you not have a home, Miss Rosie? Why are you staying at my daddy’s house? Aren’t Mommy and I the only ones who can stay at Daddy’s house?”

All was silent around the dining table.

Rosie’s smile froze awkwardly. She didn’t know what to say.

Amanda quickly stuffed some food into Aiden’s mouth. Have some soup. Why are you talking so much?”

Rosie didn’t think that he would say such a thing. Where did he learn how to say such things?

Evidently, Rosie directed her hatred at Amanda. She didn’t think those words would come out of a three- year-old’s mouth. It must have been his mother who taught him to say that.

“It’s because-”

Rosie was about to respond when Elias cut her off. “Aiden, Miss Rosie’s health is a little frail right now because she saved your life, so she needs to rest and recuperate. She’s only staying here for a while. She’s not moving in. Understand?”

Aiden listened in all seriousness and asked, “That means she’ll leave after a while, right?”

“That’s right,” Elias replied without hesitation.
