Chapter 387 Your Son Is Still Mad at You
When Amanda saw her son’s reaction, she secretly chuckled in amusement. Oh, I can’t believe my son has quite a temper.
“Look at our son. It seems that he doesn’t want to talk to me.” Elias helplessly gazed at Amanda, complaining to his wife in an adorable tone.
In the meantime, Yacob couldn’t help but have goosebumps running all over his skin when he saw that. What’s with Mr. Winters? Why does he sound like a kid? Am I seeing things? Or is he out of his mind?
While Yacob’s eyes were filled with doubts, Elias gave him a cold glare and said, “Step aside if you can’t stand it.”
“Ahem… I’m used to it, Mr. Winters.” Yacob smiled.
Amanda laughed in amusement when she saw the funny interaction between Elias and Yacob, finding them interesting. In the meantime, Aiden made a loud grunt when he realized he had been neglected.
Elias looked at his own son in his arms, smiling lovingly, “You have my attention, but is this a reminder for me to coax you?”
“Hmph! You broke your promise. You’re not a good father.” Aiden gave in to his temper and spoke, although he was initially reluctant to talk to Elias at all,
“But I brought you a present. Would you take a look at it?” Elias knitted his eyebrows.
“No! I don’t want it!” Aiden responded with an adamant attitude.
Amanda then poked her son’s face and asked, “Give your father a chance to apologize. I thought we talked about this at home.”
“I don’t see any present at all. I don’t think he prepared any either.” In fact, Aiden had been paying attention to anything that might seem like a present from the moment Elias showed up, only to fail to notice anything noteworthy.
Amanda then turned her attention to Elias and asked, “Are you trying to lie to my son? Where is his present?”
Elias then turned around and gazed at his assistant. “Where is my present? I thought I told you to hold it for me.”
“Oh, it’s right here. I almost forgot about it.” Elias’ assistant smiled awkwardly and quickly brought the present to Elias.
Although Amanda couldn’t see clearly what that present was, she noticed her son’s desperate reaction as he hurried to check out his present and exclaimed in excitement. “What’s that?”
“I don’t know. All I know is that kids love it.” Elias reacted with a chuckle.
Soon, the smile on Amanda’s face faded away when she received a phone call from Symeon. Not him again. She immediately hung up the call and looked at Elias, as well as Yacob. “Let’s head back to the estate. 1 have something I’d like to tell you all about.” Elias and Yacob exchanged gazes in puzzlement, but they didn’t ask Amanda anything because they reckoned they would find out more soon enough.

Upon arrival at Winters Estate, Aiden was taken by the butler elsewhere so that he could play by himself. After all, it had been a while since the last time he was there. On the other hand, the three adults made their way to the lake, where they decided to have their discussion held.
“Now, what is it that you want to tell us?” Elias sat down on the bench and waited for Amanda to talk.
Amanda deliberated for a moment, wondering where she should start telling Elias and Yacob the story. At the same time, she was worried that Elias would get angry after hearing her story, fearing he would succumb to his temper and do something reckless. She then looked at Yacob and said, “You should sit down as well. I’m thinking about how I should start telling the story.”
“Me? As Mr. Winters’ subordinate, I think it’s better for me to stand because I doubt I deserve to sit side by side with him.”
