The Lawyer’s Romance in Law novel Chapter 226

Chapter 226 Good Boy

"I wasn't refusing to take my medicine. I said I would wait for Daddy to come before taking it," Aiden argued with a pout, holding Elias' neck tightly.

Elias was deeply touched. He finally realized what it felt like for his son to cling to him. It was an indescribable feeling of happiness.

"I'll feed you the medicine, then, alright?" said Elias as he sat on the couch with Aiden in his arms. He reached a hand out to Amanda, gesturing for her to bring the medicine.

She handed over the pills reluctantly, and Selina quickly poured a glass of water and placed it on the coffee table.

At that moment, Elias transformed into a gentle father, coaxing the little bundle of joy in his arms. "Be a good boy and take your medicine, or you'll continue to feel uncomfortable."

Sure enough, the little one obediently opened his mouth and swallowed the medicine, then picked up the cup and took several sips of water.

Amanda and Selena were stupefied.

No matter how they tried to coax him earlier, it was of no use. That was why they had to forcefully administer the medicine. Now, with just a few words from Elias, he obediently took it. It was ironic for her as a single mother.

"Why did you insist on only taking the medicine after I come back?" Elias asked.

After all, the little guy usually never clung to him so badly. Something must've happened for him to be so clingy all of a sudden.

Aiden pouted aggrievedly, hesitating to speak.

"What's wrong? Is it a secret? Can't you tell me? How about you tell Mommy, then?"

Elias looked at Amanda as he spoke, intending to figure out what was up with Aiden if he had been bullied in school or something.

At that, Aiden leaned close and cupped Elias' ear, whispering, "That's because I told Waylen you would take me to kindergarten tomorrow."

A child's logic could be so random that their words wouldn't match up. Still, Elias understood him.

He chuckled and played with Aiden's little hand. "So, you want me to agree to take you to school before you'd finally take your medicine, right?"

"Yes!" The little guy gazed innocently at him.

"You've already taken your medicine, though!" Elias teased the little guy, who stared blankly at his father in turn and said, "I only took one pill. I still need to take another one."

This little rascal is quite clever. Elias was both stumped and impressed.

"Alright, I promise you, so take your medicine now, and I will take you to kindergarten tomorrow."

"Yay! Okay!" Aiden opened his hand, revealing a pill that he had hidden earlier, and put it in his mouth. He then picked up the cup and took a few sips of water.

"Why do you want me to take you to kindergarten?" Elias asked while stroking Aiden's hair.

"Waylen's daddy sends him to school every day, and Waylen says his daddy is more handsome than mine, but that's not true! My dad is the most handsome of all, hmph!" The little guy snorted proudly, eagerly wanting to show off his father at school the next day.

Suddenly, Elias felt guilty…

He had been so busy lately that he hadn't spent much time with Aiden, let alone taken him to school.

"Good boy. I'll take you to school every day from tomorrow onward. How does that sound?" Elias decided that no matter how busy he got, he would make sure to take Aiden to school on time.

"Really? Mommy said you're very busy, though. Do you really have time? You're not lying to me, are you? Adults cannot lie too." Aiden seemed skeptical.
