The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 393 You Know I Miss You, Amanda

Amanda blinked and found herself entranced by the man’s deep, black eyes. Was she truly that cold and distant, always keeping him away? In the meantime, Elias seized the opportunity presented by her momentary silence and attempted to break down her defenses. His handsome face inched closer as though he was about to kiss her lips. Noticing this, Amanda yielded and closed her eyes while anticipating

his kiss.

Elias smirked when he knew he was about to succeed. However, just as their lips were about to meet, the bedroom door swung open abruptly, and Aiden’s voice interrupted them. “Mommy! Daddy! What are you playing? Why didn’t you include me? Hmph!”

Aiden rushed into the room, bringing a gust of cool air along with him. Amanda instinctively moved away from Elias and pushed him aside. Meanwhile, Elias felt annoyed by the untimely interruption caused by this little brat, and he closed his eyes helplessly. If Aiden weren’t his child, he might have been tempted to throw him out.

Climbing onto the bed, Aiden nestled into Amanda’s embrace. “Mommy, I want to sleep with you guys. You never include me in your games. That’s not nice!”

“Baby, your daddy and I weren’t playing. We were discussing something important.” Amanda’s face flushed. She realized that it was impossible to avoid such awkward situations with a child around.

The unfulfilled Elias looked frustrated as he stood up and said, “You two go to sleep. I’m going out for a bit. He didn’t feel like sleeping anymore. Amanda couldn’t suppress her laughter as she held her baby in her arms and watched the man leave angrily.

“Why are you laughing, Mommy?”

“Nothing. How about I tell you a story?”

“Okay!”
