Chapter 418 Special Treatment
Symeon’s phone buzzed.
He took a glance and saw that it was Elizabeth calling.
He could already imagine what she wanted to say, probably wanting to complain.
He swiped open the screen and pressed it to his car. “Aren’t you supposed to be having dinner with your parents at this time? How do you have time to call me?”
“Symeon, hasn’t the butler told you about what happened today? I thought the Lawrence Family’s butler would be very diligent, but it appears he’s rather unprofessional.” Elizabeth’s words were full of sarcasm.
Symeon chuckled lightly. “He did tell me. Isn’t it a matter of you two slapping each other? Neither of you. suffered any loss, so what’s there to be concerned about?”
His casual tone infuriated Elizabeth on the other end of the line.
“Do you really like that woman so much? Is that why you let her have your child? I really don’t understand what’s so special about her. There are plenty of women who are more beautiful than her. Why does she hold such a special place in your heart?”
Actually, Elizabeth wanted to convey that she didn’t think there was anything about her that made her inferior to Amanda. So, why couldn’t Symeon take notice of her?
As Symeon listened to the woman venting on the phone, he remained expressionless. “Are you done? Hang up if you are. I’m about to have my meal.”
With that, he abruptly hung up the phone, leaving no room for Elizabeth to retort.
Amanda and her son were already seated and having their meal in the dining room.
Symeon was concerned they wouldn’t be accustomed to the food, so he instructed the kitchen to prepare Cludan cuisine.
He looked at the bowl of noodles in front of Amanda, emitting a fragrant aroma. Next to her, the little guy was eating the noodles with such dedication, as if that bowl was his whole world.
Symeon sat on the chair and gazed at the little guy, asking, “Is it delicious?”
Though he hadn’t been fond of children, the thought that this was his child made him more patient.
Baby glanced at Symeon but didn’t respond. Instead, he scooted closer to Amanda and whispered, “Mommy, has Daddy been naughty recently?”
Amanda frowned. “What did you say?”
For a moment, she didn’t understand what her son was saying.
Baby looked at Symeon timidly and continued, “Then, why did you change daddies for me?”
Amanda and Symeon exchanged glances, falling into silence and even feeling lost for words.

Symeon didn’t say anything but directed his gaze toward Amanda, signaling for her to explain.
On the contrary, she couldn’t be bothered to clarify. All she wanted was to take her child and leave this place as soon as possible.
At that moment, she only realized that these circumstances also impacted her child’s young, innocent
heart.
At such a tender age, the little one might ponder, Didn’t I just recognize a Daddy? Why is there a new Daddy again? Why are there new Daddies everywhere?
Amanda lowered her head and whispered in Baby’s ear in a voice only the two could hear, “We didn’t change daddies. We’re just guests at this person’s house. You have to behave. Otherwise, this kick us out, and when Daddy finds out, he’ll spank you again.”
Baby’s big, grape-like eyes widened as he looked at Amanda, who nodded seriously.
person will
Left with no choice, he could only sit obediently in the chair and eat his noodles. He quickly finished the noodles in his bowl and hopped off the chair, announcing, “Mommy, I’m going to bed now. Bye-bye!”
By the time Amanda reacted, her son had already disappeared.
She smiled helplessly. Well, the security measures here were quite reliable, so her son wouldn’t get lost
anyway.
Meanwhile, Symeon had already signaled the nanny nearby to follow Aiden. The nanny nodded and left.
However, he was a little curious about what Amanda had just said. Why did that little guy cast such a peculiar gaze his way?
“What did you say to Aiden just now? Why does he seem a little afraid of me?”
“Oh, nothing much. I just told him to be obedient. You have a bit of a short temper, and I said you might spank him if he misbehaves.”
Amanda ate her noodles slowly while the man’s face turned dark.
intentionally creating a bad image of me in Aiden’s mind? What if he doesn’t get close to me after
“Are
you you’re gone?”
Amanda sneered inwardly.
Heh.
She had no intention of letting Baby get close to this Lawrence guy anyway since the child wasn’t even his, to begin with.
However, for the safety of Elias in Cludan, she still had to endure it for now.
After seeing her remain silent, Symeon pressed on. “Or maybe you’re doing it on purpose, not letting the child leave you so that you can stay by my side forever?”
deliberately
Amanda’s lips twitched involuntarily at the corner. This man was completely narcissistic.
Did he really think that all women desired to stay by his side? How ridiculous!

Amanda continued eating her noodles. After finishing the last bite, she wiped her mouth with a napkin and responded, “You’re thinking too much. I don’t want to stay by your side forever. I can’t even use my phone. What’s the point of such a life?”
