Chapter 91 Are You Trying to Tell Me How to Do My Job?
Seizing the opportunity, Elias tentatively asked, “How long did you stay that night? Why didn’t I see you when I woke up?”
He simply wanted an explanation for why he found Grace by his side instead of Amanda upon awakening.
Impatiently, Amanda replied, “I received a phone call about my critically ill mother, so I had to leave early.”
“So, you left while I was still unconscious?” Elias memory started piecing together the puzzle. A few days after the celebration banquet. Amanda’s mother passed away and she asked for his assistance in organizing the funeral.
Suddenly, it all clicked into place.
That was the reason.
At that very moment, Amanda’s phone rang. It was a call from Aiden.
She glanced at it but didn’t dare to answer in front of Elias, so she ended the call.
“I don’t have time to discuss this with you. I have things to take care of. I’m heading back.” Amanda glanced at the time, realizing she needed to hurry home to check on the little brat, or he would pester her relentlessly on the phone.
With that, she made her way back to her car and drove off toward Galaxy Bay
Elias stood alone beneath the streetlights, deep in thought. Can it be that Grace had been deceiving me?
Honk, honk!
Amanda pressed the car horn twice and directed her words to the man standing outside the car window. “Get back to the hospital quickly! If you don’t, I won’t answer your calls ever again, and you can forget about me unblocking you!”
With those words, she drove off, leaving the man behind.
Elias chuckled softly. Despite Amanda’s stern words, he understood her underlying concern.
It was evident that she still cared for him.
As Amanda arrived back at the villa, she was immediately greeted by a whirlwind of joy as she stepped into the living room.
“Mommy! Mommy!”
“Aiden, are you trying to knock me over? Why have you become so heavy lately?” Amanda’s body stumbled backward from the impact, but she managed to catch the little bundle in her arms flawlessly.
“Well, I’m a man, Mommy. It’s only natural that I keep getting heavier.”

Chapter 91 Are You Trying to Tell Me How to Do My Job?
She couldn’t help but burst into laughter. What a delightfully innocent perspective!
“Mommy! Mommy, let me tell you how amazing Miss Selina is. She knows Taekwondo! I want to learn it too, so I can protect you!” Aiden’s chubby hands formed a circle around her ear as he leaned in and whispered excitedly.
“What do you mean you can protect me? I’m strong too, you know. Do you like the new nanny?” Amanda’s mood brightened as well. This little brat seemed to be getting along well with the new caregiver.
Suddenly, a woman’s voice interrupted their conversation. “Hello, I’m Selina Yaleman,” the woman introduced herself and Amanda looked up, frozen in place.
Selina was equally stunned after seeing Amanda’s face.
“Selina? What a coincidence that it’s you!”
At that moment, memories flooded back to Amanda, taking her back to her childhood when her father hadn’t yet kicked her and her mother out of the house. They used to live in a vibrant alleyway, filled with laughter and the lingering scent of smoke.
Every day, she would play hopscotch with her best friend, Selina. However, after her father kicked them out, Amanda never saw Selina again.
