The Lawyer’s Romance in Law novel Chapter 168

Chapter 168 I'll Help Keep This a Secret

Aiden acted like a little spy as he made a circle with his small hands around Amanda's ears, "I saw Yvonne's mom touch Mr. Winters' hands!"

Amanda's eyes immediately widened. What is this little brat talking about?! "Aiden, you'd better not be spewing nonsense! This isn't good behavior."

However, Aiden forcefully tugged her out of the tent. "Come, Mommy. I'm not lying! Yvonne's mom is really touching Mr. Winters' hands. It's true!"

Aiden dragged Amanda toward the other tent, completely disregarding the displeasure on his mother's face.

“Mommy, see. I wasn't lying! She's really touching Mr. Winters' hands." Aiden said it out loud and it made the situation really awkward for the adults.

Amanda realized that Elias was actually teaching Yvonne's mom how to set the tent up, but Aiden had mistaken it as touching hands.

Yvonne's mom immediately released the tent and lowered her head in embarrassment as a hint of blush covered her cheeks.

Meanwhile, Elias frowned unhappily as he reprimanded sternly, "Aiden! Don't say nonsense!"

He didn't expect Aiden to misunderstand him like that. What do you mean by touching hands? Am I someone who would let just anyone touch me?

"Aiden, I didn't touch your father's hands. He's just teaching me to pitch the tent." Yvonne's mom smiled and explained.

However, Aiden blurted, "Mr. Winters isn't my fa—"

Amanda covered his mouth immediately and carried him in her arms. She let out an awkward smile, "This child likes to say nonsense. We'll head back. Dear, hurry up with their tent. Aiden and I are waiting for you to cook the food."

She told Aiden's teacher that Elias was his father. That was why Elias could come with them as no one in the kindergarten knew she was a single mother.

Aiden was bullied by the other children in his previous kindergarten because they knew she was a single mother. So, she hid that information this time, but he almost blew her the entire ruse with his loose lips.

Back at the tent, Amanda released Aiden and said sternly, "Aiden, I'm warning you. Don't just tell people everything. I told your teacher that Mr. Winters is your father so that he could accompany you on this camping trip. Do you understand?"

Alas, Aiden frowned, "Mommy, you're lying. Didn't you tell me that it's not good to lie?"

Amanda had no idea what to say in response. She was indeed going against her own word and teachings. She always taught Aiden to be honest, yet she was lying all for the sake of his happiness. Still, she wasn't exactly lying as Elias was indeed Aiden's biological father. It was just that he wasn't aware of it just yet.

She grabbed onto his shoulders and urged earnestly, "Baby, have I not told you to care for a sick person's feelings?"

Aiden nodded obediently. "What about it?"

What about it? Amanda suddenly felt a huge pressure from him. Aiden was truly Elias' son with that commanding aura of his.

She quickly came up with a perfect story in her mind and told him, "The thing is Mr. Winters always wanted to go camping since he was young, but no one could come with him. So, I used this opportunity to bring him here. We should be nice to people, right? I've told you that helping others is a good deed."

Unfortunately, Aiden stared at her compelling face with skepticism. "Mommy, are you trying to lie to me again? Mr. Winters has a huge garden. He can camp there whenever he wants."

The intelligence of a three-year-old was still limited, so he couldn't connect the dots yet.
