The Lawyer’s Romance in Law novel Chapter 151

Chapter 151 What a Heartwarming Sight

Elias replied, "I'm fine with it. It's up to your mom."

He passed on the question directly to Amanda, as if she would be a sinner if she were to refuse.

Aiden thus looked at Amanda with anticipation. "Mommy, is that okay? Can we let Uncle Elias sleep in the same bed with us? That way, he can protect us at all times. Please!" he pleaded, not forgetting to tug at his mother's hand like a pampered child.

She was utterly speechless. This little brat spends every moment looking out for the interests of his scumbag of a father. As expected of Elias' own son! Seeing the faint smile curving the man's lips, she shot him a glare, chiding, "What are you smiling at? You intended this from the start, didn't you?"

Elias replied with a mask of seriousness in an extremely shameless manner, "It's Aiden who wants us to sleep in the same bed. Did I say anything? And besides, it's normal for a kid to be afraid, so we should satisfy his demands."

Amanda was lost for words for a while… "Alright, it's okay if you're not afraid that way." She smiled at Aiden. When she turned her gaze to Elias, however, her face wore a different expression, with eyes that seemed to say, Look how I'm gonna kick you out of bed once Baby is asleep!

"Yay! Mommy, you're amazing! Let's go to sleep, then! I'm so sleepy, and I want to sleep in bed. It's not comfortable sleeping on the couch," Aiden said, jumping from the couch to the rug before boldly trotting toward the bedroom, as if he had nothing to fear anymore in the presence of Elias. Nevertheless, he stopped at the bedroom door to look back at the man. "Come over here, Uncle Elias. You go in and lie in bed first."

Elias frowned at his timid demeanor. Is it even proper for a man to be so afraid of ghosts? Slowly, he stood up and walked toward the boy.

Amanda had to admit that her frayed nerves had relaxed a lot since the man arrived. She felt as though even if the sky came crashing down, Elias would be there to hold up the sky for her.

Elias walked into the bedroom. Seeing the boy stand at the door, he said, "Come on in, it's okay. Ghosts don't exist in the world. I'm not afraid, and you don't have to be afraid either, hmm?"

Aiden was still standing outside, seemingly frightened by the fluttering curtains. "Uncle Elias, can you please lie down in bed? Please." Still afraid to come in, he hid behind the door.

Elias felt rather helpless. Seems like I have to teach this kid a lesson to instill some ideas into him. How is he gonna be a grown-up man in the future if he's so afraid of ghosts? He had no choice but to lie down first on one side of the bed in resignation before looking at Aiden. "Alright, come over now."

Seeing that the man was lying in bed just fine, Aiden finally stepped into the bedroom in relief. Climbing onto the soft and spongy bed, he burrowed under the covers and then shouted at Amanda, "Come over here, Mommy! Lie down here. I'm not scared if you and Uncle Elias sleep on each side of me."

"I got it!" Amanda reluctantly walked up to the bed and was pissed off to see Elias lying comfortably on the other side. After lying down on Aiden's left side, she pulled the covers off his head. "Alright, you're not afraid anymore now, are you? Just be good and go to sleep. Uncle Elias and I are here with you, so no ghosts or demons can hurt you."
