Chapter 386 Elias Is Back
When Elias heard that, he was stunned for a second. I didn’t think something like that
would come out of my mouth either. Amanda. You’re the first person I’ve ever said
something like that to.
“What’s with the silence?” Amanda asked.
“Well, I didn’t think I would say something like that either. If you want to hear more of that,
I could always say that to you.” While Elias would never flirt with another woman like that,
he had no problem doing that
to Amanda.
“Such a sweet-talker… I don’t like a man who flirts. So, when are you coming back?”
Amanda quickly changed the subject.
“Maybe another 3 to 4 days. What’s wrong? Is there something urgent?” Elias lit up the
cigarette in his mouth and took a puff on it.
On the other hand, Amanda’s eyes darkened when she heard Elias’ response. 3 to 4 more
days? Oh man, why is this taking so long? I wish Elias could know that I dare not leave
home until he is back. Despite the thought of that, Amanda refused to add to Elias’ worry,
knowing he was stressed enough with his work. After all, she knew Elias would
immediately rush back home if she told him about their current situation. If he did that, his
work and his company’s image would be affected, which was not something that Amanda
wanted.
“Aiden and I will be waiting for you. We’ll see you home once you’re done with your work.
Have a good rest for now. I bet you still have to wake up early tomorrow morning.”
“Sure, babe. Send me a text message before you hit the hay. I want to know that you go to
bed safe and
sound.
“Alright.” Amanda smiled helplessly and hung up the call, ready to take a shower.

brief hesitation, she reluctantly decided to answer it. “Why did you call?”
“You’re going to stay home until Elias returns?” The man on the other side of the phone
mocked Amanda, finding her action laughable.
Amanda leaned on the doorframe and replied, “That’s because I want to stay home. What
are you going to do about it?”
“What about your son? Doesn’t he need to go to school? Don’t you know that you’re
ruining his academics?”
“He is still just in kindergarten. It’s not like taking a few days off is going to ruin his future.
Thanks for asking, although I don’t think that’s necessary.”
Amanda wanted to hang up the call right away, but Symeon said, “Despite your persistent
denial that your child isn’t mine, the evidence found all suggest that I’rn indeed the father.
Thus, I don’t understand why you keep denying the truth because it’s simply
meaningless.”
“Do you mean that fake DNA report? I don’t believe it. When Elias returns, I’m going to
make sure he does a paternity test for further verification. Moreover, what other evidence
do you have besides your paternity test report?”
“I found a witness who saw you entering my room in that hotel and coming out in a
disheveled What do you think about that?
manner.

Amanda was stunned when she heard Symeon’s words. Wait, what? “I must say I’m really
impressed, Mr. Lawrence. I never thought you could distort the whole story with so much
fake evidence, as if your fabricated lies were the truth. Phew, I should be grateful that I’m
rational and calm enough at the moment, or I would have fallen for his words easily.
“It’s up to you to believe in me, but I’ve already sent the video to your email inbox. Check
it out if you’re interested. As for the other evidence, I’m still in the midst of gathering
them, but thus far, the most convincing one is the DNA paternity test report, which you
won’t believe.”
“You’re absolutely right. Like hell I’m going to buy that, unless you do another paternity
test in Cludan.” Who the heck is going to believe some DNA paternity test report that’s
fully in Esmorian? You’ve gotta be kidding me!
“Well, since you said so, I’ll do as you wish, but what if the result is just the way I thought
it would be? Would you still deny it?”
Amanda replied in a serious manner, “If your DNA test report that is done in Cludan
confirms your biological relationship with Aiden, I’ll give him back to you with no question,
but that will never happen. 1 was the one who gave birth to my son, so, of course, I know
who the father is!” What a joke! Elias is, of course, Aiden’s father! No one else but him!
“Alright, remember your promise then. Cludanians don’t break their promises.”
Amanda
paused and responded by mocking Symeon. “You’re a fast learner, aren’t you? I never
thought you’d know our traditional virtues so well.”
“I didn’t have to learn. I grew up in Cludan and only moved to Esmos when I grew older.”
What am I doing? I shouldn’t be wasting time chatting with this man! At the thought of
that, Amanda indifferently hung up the call. She then stood in front of the basin and
looked at herself in the mirror. telling herself that she must hang in there until Elias
returned. Otherwise, Symeon could abduct her and threaten Elias with that. The Lawrence
Family is not someone to be trifled with.
For the next four days, Amanda continued to stay home with her son as she intended until
Elias returned. “I’m going to the airport to pick Elias up. Would you like to come with me?”
Yacob asked.
“Yes, I have something to tell him. Let’s set off right away Amanda agreed without
hesitation, thinking she must also bring her son along. Thus, she searched the house for
Aiden until she found him playing with his Lego. “Aiden, we’re heading to the airport now.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDad is coming back.”
Nevertheless, Aiden reacted indifferently as he grunted coldly and continued to play with
his toys. Then. Amanda walked up to him and rubbed his head. “Hey, I’m talking to you,
Aiden. Why are you grunting like a piglet?”
“I’m not a piglet, but that doesn’t mean I can’t grunt. Dad didn’t keep his promise, and I
don’t like him for that.” Aiden was mad at Elias for not returning home within three days
as he had promised.
“Dad was busy, but now he is back, plus he brought you a present, so aren’t you curious
to find out what it
is?
“But… I still hate Dad for not keeping his promise.”
Amanda then crouched down and coaxed her son. That’s why we’re going to meet your
Dad and make him apologize to you, right? Give him a chance, would you?”

“Fine. Aiden acted like he was forced to tag along.
At the same time, Yacob, who witnessed the boy’s reaction, helplessly shook his head,
thinking Elias would be so disappointed if he could see Aiden’s expression.
Soon, the three of them made their way to the airport. An hour later, they arrived at their
destination and waited for Elias to show up. When the man finally showed up at the arrival
gate, Amanda’s eyes lit up because she was able to quickly spot him among the crowd.
“Come on, Aiden. It’s Dad. He is out. Amanda kept encouraging Aiden to greet Elias, but
the kid was still angry. Thus, he only stood still in place with his arms folded, responding
with a cold grunt.
Amanda shrugged her shoulders at Elias and silently spoke by puckering her lips. “Your
son is mad.”
After seeing Amanda’s reaction, Elias immediately knew what was going on. He then
curled his lips. upward and walked up to Aiden, whereupon he carried him in his arms. “I
heard some kid is angry with his dad. Let me see who he is. Hmm?”
“Hmph!” Aiden jutted his chin belligerently without looking at his father.
