Billionaire, Let's Divorce (Mark and Sydney) novel Chapter 392

ANASTASIA

I watched as Aiden lowered himself to Amie's height and held out his hand to her.

Amie eyed his hand wearily.

Aiden smiled. “Come on, Amie, would you like to go?“

Amie glanced up at Dennis then at my face and back to Aiden.

My gaze wandered to Dennis’ face. I could tell that he didn't like Aiden's presence. He was about to say something when Aiden took Amie’s hand. “Remember we're friends, right?“

Amie just looked at him without saying anything.

“Remember that time you collided with me?“ The corner of his lips quirked up in a smirk.

Amie frowned. “You ran into me,“ she blurted. “I hope you haven't done the same to someone else?“ She eyed him, “I went easy on you that day doesn't mean another person would.“

Aiden chuckled lowly and as I watched them, my lips curled into a smile. He was good with kids. I always knew he would. Amie would have been the luckiest child on earth if I had let him know about her but I tried not to go down that path.

Dennis was also great with her. Even though he was busy setting up some of his bars and we were just friends, he included himself in our lives and took very good care of Amie and I.

“Okay, ma'am Amie. I'll be careful. I’ve been careful actually. Except that I almost ran into someone today again,“ he winced as he said the last part.

Amie shook her head and turned down her lips at him like an adult scolding a child. “You really need to take lessons.“

“That's also why I want to go on a stroll with you. You could teach me how to walk the right way and also how to be polite.“

She eyed him while tapping her fingers on her lips. “I can teach you how to be polite but I think you run into people because you're so big. I can't help you with that.“

Aiden pouted. “That's so-“

“Drop it, Aiden,“ Dennis stepped forward, interrupting their moment. “This is unnecessary. If my child wants company, her father is here, I'm here.“

My eyes widened as I whirled around to face Dennis. “Why would he say that?“

But his gaze wasn't even on me, it was fixed on Aiden and I could tell that he was only fighting the glare from his face because of Amie.

Aiden didn't look like he appreciated the interruption. When he slowly rose to his full height, I knew I had to step in.

I clung to Dennis' side while whispering, “Leave her to him.“ Then I turned to Aiden and Amie with a big smile.

“Go give him some lessons, sweetheart, he's quite rude.“

Amie looked appalled. “Even to you, Mummy?“

“I tell you.“
