The Lawyer’s Romance in Law novel Chapter 99

Chapter 99 How Could She Be So Evil?

“You’re the best, Selina,” Amanda said. “I am already embarrassed by how much you had to take cale of me years ago. Now, you’re taking care of my son in the same way. Thank you so much,

Selina.”

Suddenly, Amanda thought Selina was just like a mother with her kind and warm aura.

“Oh, right. I’ve always wanted to ask you this; who is the boy’s father? Are you… divorced? The question had been bothering Selina the entire time, but she just could not find a chance to pop the question.

Amanda’s smile slowly faded away and she sighed. Yes. We’ve been divorced for four years. Aiden had never seen his father before, but he is always yearning for one. Sometimes, I feel guilty for what I’ve done to him.”

She glanced out of the kitchen into the living room where Aiden was intently watching his

cartoons.

Sympathy flashed in Selina’s eyes. “I see. Well, children all need a father. If it’s possible, let him meet his father. Over the past few days, whenever I dropped him off at kindergarten, he would always stare in envy at the other children’s fathers.”

That tugged at Amanda’s heartstrings.

Aiden had recently stopped talking to her about looking for his father. He had also started to avoid telling her she had to make Frederick his father. She thought it was just a phase like most children would go through.

She did not expect to hear him… admire others for having fathers.

Selina continued, “Aiden is such a considerate young man. When I asked him why he doesn’t tell you he wants a father, he replied that you are going through your own difficulties as well, that it’s hard to be a mother. He said that no man alive was a good match for you. Once, he had a suitable candidate in mind, but you didn’t like the man. Since you don’t like the man, he wouldn’t like the man either. He only wants you to be happy.”

Tears swelled in Amanda’s eyes by the time Selina finished speaking.

Her son was very considerate and mature.

Her love for him had not been in vain.

“I suddenly feel immature. How is a child more considerate than I am?” She felt a lump in her throat

Selina smiled and placed a hand on her shoulder. “You have such an amazing son, making me

green with envy. Your relationship with him is literally two hearts united in love.” She sighed.

Two hearts united in love?

Amanda could not resist chuckling-

He had certainly given her hope in the darkest moments of her life. In the past four years, she had only lived because of him.

She headed to the couch in the living room and wrapped her arms around Aiden.

“What are you doing, Mommy? I’m watching cartoons!” Aiden shoved at her with a look of disdain on his face. His eyes remained trained on the television.

His response did not irritate her, and she ducked her head down to kiss his chubby cheek. “What present would you like. Aiden? I’m free to go shopping with you today.”

“Really? Don’t you dare lie to me, Mommy!” Aiden’s eyes lit up with glee.

“Of course! When have I ever lied to you?”

Then, the commercial break started, making him panic. “I want cartoons, Mommy! I don’t want

ads!”

As she moved to the remote control to skip the advertisement, she grumbled under her breath, “Why are there advertisements? I paid for membership. What a scam….

Suddenly, he pointed at the person showing up on the television screen and screamed, “That’s her, Mommy! That’s the evil woman!”

She turned to look at the advertisement being played. It was a skincare brand advertisement featuring Grace.

Confused, she asked, “Evil woman? Do you mean the woman in the advertisement? Why is she

evil?”

“That’s the woman who shouted your name outside the kindergarten gates and pulled on my hair. Mommy!

Amanda was shocked.

At that moment, there was a ringing sound in her ears as her mind went blank. She felt her head going numb as if a bomb had exploded in her mind.

“Wait. Do you mean the woman in this video shouted my name outside the kindergarten and pulled on your hair? Why would she pull on your hair?”

She suddenly recalled that Aiden had told her about a mean woman who had pulled on his hair in
