The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 385 That’s What Love Is Like

Aiden looked up and fixed his gaze upon Jack’s face. “We’re waiting for Dad to come home. Mom says once he is back, we can go out and play together.”

As soon as they all heard the child’s words, suspicion arose within them. “What’s wrong? What happened?” Jack asked.

Amanda helplessly closed her eyes, secretly complaining about her son’s indiscretion to herself. Nonetheless, she still smiled and answered, “Nothing. It’s just an excuse because I’m too lazy to take him. out.”

“You’re a part of our family, and I doubt there is anyone else better for me to place my faith in when it comes to this offer. So, please don’t turn me down.” Jack was getting more and more convinced that Amanda had the potential to be his heir, feeling impressed with her mature thinking and excellent managerial skills.

In the end, Amanda helplessly agreed to her father’s offer, although she could tell that Jack was trying to pave the way for her to join his company.
