The Lawyer’s Romance in Law novel Chapter 120

Chapter 120 I Want to Tell You a Secret

Besides, this little brat is handsome. He’s sure to get girls when he’s older.

“Mommy.”

“Yes?”

“Everyone has a dad when they are born, right?” Aiden blinked his huge eyes as if he was asking a serious question.

Even though Amanda didn’t want to answer that question, she had to admit it. “Yes.”

“Then, where’s my dad? Do you have his picture, Mommy? Can I see?”

Amanda’s heart constricted as she looked at the anticipation on Aiden’s face.

“Why do you suddenly want to see your dad’s picture? Don’t you hate him?”

For some reason, Aiden had always hated his father. It might be due to her telling him that his dad didn’t want them anymore.

Aiden jumped down from her embrace and said, “Today at kindergarten, the teacher told us that everyone was born because Daddy loved Mommy. But Mommy said Daddy didn’t want us anymore. If Daddy didn’t love Mommy, how did you give birth to me?”

Amanda was speechless and didn’t know what to say.

Did Elias love her? At least he didn’t even when she was pregnant with Aiden.

“Baby, Daddy… he…” She wanted to explain but didn’t know how to.

Aiden stared at her and got impatient as she was hesitating for a long time. “Mommy, I just want to see Daddy’s picture. Just let me take a look, please?”

“Then, can you tell Mommy why you must see his picture?” Aiden had never asked for this. This was out of the blue.

“Erm… because the teacher said I don’t look like Mommy. So, I probably look like Daddy. I want to see what Daddy looks like to see if I look like him or not.”

His answer made Amanda fall silent once again. She was at a loss as to what to do. Could she really let Aiden see Elias’ picture?

Aiden looked very much alike to Elias; it was as if he was replicated. But she didn’t want Aiden to return to the Winters Family. So, there was no point in letting Aiden see Elias’ picture.

So, she lied, “Baby, I’m sorry. I don’t have your father’s picture. So, I can’t let you see it.”

Disappointment painted Aiden’s small face after he listened to her words. His bright eyes lost their light as he pursed his lips. “Fine. I won’t see it.. Daddy doesn’t love us at all. He didn’t even leave a picture behind. I hate him more!”

Then, Selina walked into the living room and called, “Aiden. Amanda. It’s time to eat. Come over.”

Aiden pursed his lips as he stormed off into the dining hall but turned around to call for Amanda after a few steps. “Mommy, let’s eat.”

Suddenly, Amanda’s heart ached even more as she looked at Aiden’s somber back. He only wanted to see his father’s picture, yet she couldn’t fulfill such a simple request.

She got up and went to the dining hall. It felt like something was stuck in her throat as she saw Aiden sitting obediently on the dining chair.

“What’s wrong? Why do you look so pale?” Selina served the last dish onto the table and realized something was off with both Amanda and Aiden.

Amanda smiled and shook her head in response. “Let’s eat.”
