The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 313

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.

Rosie felt a little hurt. He doesn’t want to keep me around at all. It’s almost as if he’s eager to chase me out.

Aiden brightened up and clapped cheerfully. That’s good. Only Mommy and I can stay at Daddy’s house, right?”

Elias chuckled and answered patiently. “That’s right. You and Mommy are the only ones who can stay here forever if you want to.”

Amanda was speechless. What is this man doing? He knows full well that the child is just saying nonsense, so why is he agreeing?

Meanwhile, Rosie felt as if she were sitting on needles. She felt like an outsider observing the happy family of three.

She couldn’t take another bite, so she found an excuse to leave.

“You guys carry on, Eli. I feel a little dizzy all of a sudden so I’m going back to my room for a nap.”

Rosie got up without waiting for Elias to respond.

Though to be fair, Elias didn’t even bother looking at her. He simply continued to feed his son.

It was Amanda who sensed what Rosie was feeling. She watched as Rosie left before asking, “Do you really think that Rosic doesn’t have her eyes on you anymore

“I don’t know, but either way, I’m not interested in her, Elias replied indifferently.

Amanda kept reading stories to Aiden. It was quite late at night before the little boy finally fell asleep.

Elias was lying on the other side of the bed and Aiden lay between the two adults. Aiden clutched both their clothes with his fists as if to lock them up beside him.

Once he was finally asleep, Amanda exhaled in relief.

She set the book down on the bedside table and gently pulled away from Aiden’s grip before slowly climbing out of bed.

Elias also nudged his shirt out of Aiden’s grasp and gave the boy a toy to cuddle with instead.

Amanda crept out of the bedroom and Elias followed her out.

Once they were out of the room, Amanda piped up. “Why did you follow me out? Stay with Aiden. I’ll drive home by myself.”

“It’s already so late. Must you go back? Why don’t you just stay here for the night?” Elias stuck his hands in his pockets. He wanted her to stay but he didn’t want to force her.

Amanda rolled her eyes. “It’s a matter of principles. I said I’m leaving so I’m leaving.

They walked out of the house and waited for the driver to bring the car around.

Elias stood behind Amanda and stared at her thin frame. She was knackered out by everything that happened lately. She stayed with Aiden all day and night.

Neither one of them knew that Rosie was standing on the balcony of a bedroom on the third floor and staring down at them.

Under the night sky, the attractive man and woman looked like a match made in heaven. They looked like the subjects of an oil painting.

Rosie kept staring until her fists clenched tightly. She bit her lip and marched back inside the room. She was afraid that she would feel the urge to rush down and slap Amanda if she remained out there looking. at them.

At last, the driver brought the car around. Amanda was waiting to leave.

As soon as the driver got out, Amanda quickly swooped into the car. However, she didn’t drive off at once. She lowered the window and looked at the man outside.

“Make sure you stay beside Aiden the entire night,” she reminded worriedly. “Don’t ever leave his side. I’ll come over first thing in the morning.”

“Why bother? You can just stay here. Isn’t it tiring for you to travel back and forth?” Elias was concerned about her health.

She barely got any rest throughout all those days at the hospital, and she was still running around right now. Her body wouldn’t be able to take it.

“It’s fine. I can take it.”

The window went back up and Amanda drove off.

Elias stood and watched as the lights from the car disappeared into the distance. His heart fell hollow.

He didn’t know when it happened, but Amanda held an important place in his heart now. It pained him to see her leave. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

He slowly turned back around and headed into the house. He needed to stay with Aiden who would probably be upset if he woke up and found Amanda gone.

“Argh! Die! Just die!”

Rosie flew into hysterics again. She shoved all the things off the vanity table, and they all shattered loudly.

A maid heard the commotion and rushed in. “What’s the matter, Miss Momsey? What happened?

“Get out! Get out! I don’t need you!” In the dark room. Rosie was acting as if she had gone mad. She lashed out at the maid.

The maid wanted to switch on the lights but she was trembling in fear thanks to Rosie’s furious screeching. She didn’t know what to do, so she turned around and fled the dark room.

Rosie used the moonlight that came in through the window to look at herself in the mirror. Her reflection looked a little eerie and terrifying.

“After all these years, you’ve gotten uglier. Eli is even less interested in you now. You need to think of something! Are you just going to sit by and let everything slip away?” Rosie shrieked at her reflection.
