The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 425 Battle of Wits

In the meantime, Symeon had already taken his seat in the dining area but hadn’t started eating yet. After all, he was waiting for Amanda and Aiden. Looking at the table full of oriental cuisines, Symeon couldn’t help but smile in joy because he felt as if he had become a kind-hearted man. Unlike his present self, his former self wouldn’t spare a thought for anyone else, let alone tell his chef to make dishes that he didn’t like just for someone else or wait for someone. Soon, when he heard Amanda and Aiden’s voices from afar, a warm smile appeared on his face.

When Symeon turned his head, he saw Amanda and the boy entering the dining area. He then fixed his gaze on the child and asked, “Are you hungry?”

Despite having spent a few days there, Aiden was still apparently wary of Symeon, holding Amanda’s hands tightly. Soon, Amanda carried Aiden and placed him on the chair, rolling his sleeves so that he could eat more comfortably.

Then, Amanda looked at the table full of oriental cuisines and became bewildered, wondering what Symeon was up to because she knew he didn’t like oriental food at all.

“Mommy, I want that chicken wing.”

“Okay, I’ll get it for you.”

Nevertheless, before Amanda could place the chicken wing on Aiden’s plate, Symeon had already beaten, her to it by placing it on the boy’s plate.

“You don’t like oriental food, so why did you have your chef make them?” Amanda skeptically asked.

Symeon smirked, “It doesn’t matter. I’m just here to accompany you for the meal. I’m not very hungry.”

“Does it matter? I’m just here to keep you both company, plus I’m not hungry anyway.” Symeon smirked in response.

Then, upon putting Aiden to sleep, she went downstairs alone to the kitchen where she opened the refrigerator to find something to eat. Nevertheless, she couldn’t seem to find anything much to eat in the refrigerator as all she could see were fresh and raw vegetables. Well, I guess the people
