Chapter 131 Mommy, Mr Winters Saved Us

Elias snorted. "Yes, I'm hurt."

Why is this man so childish? He's even acting up in front of his own son. This is ridiculous! Amanda still patiently asked, "Where are you hurt? Do you need me to send you to the hospital?"

She decided to give him a break since he did save Aiden this time. Besides, he was a noble young master,

after all.

Yet, Elias shamelessly demanded, "I'm tired from fighting and hungry. Buy me something to eat."

Amanda's eyes just about popped out from her eye sockets as she rebuked, "Are you kidding me? Go home if you're tired and hungry. You have so many professional chefs at your estate. Can't they satisfy your stomach?"

At that moment, Aiden, who was leaning on the window, suddenly suggested, "Mommy, Mr. Winters saved us. Don't you think we should at least treat him to a meal in thanks?" Amanda was at a loss for words. Oh, Baby, please keep your words at a minimum.

However, the child paid no heed to her silent pleadings as he added, "Mommy, didn't you tell me I should repay other people's kindness? If Mr. Winters hadn't saved us, the bad guy might have taken us away? With no other option, she forced a smile as she said in resignation, "Right, we have to repay other people's kindness, but... Mr. Winters has other things to do. We'll treat him to a meal some other day, okay?" She patted her son's head gently as she turned to hint at Elias with her gaze to play along with her. Unfortunately, Elias refused to comply. Instead, he smiled and drawled blandly, "I'm not busy. Do you want to buy me something to eat? I'm always available."

"Sure. I'll treat you to a meal. Why don't you come to our house? Miss Selina is a great cook," Aiden offered excitedly.

The smile on Elias' face brightened further. "Sure. I'm famished."

Amanda was rendered wholly speechless. Was this the tacit understanding between father and son? Never would she have guessed these two would get so familiar with each other so quickly and get along so well. Could this be what they call the magic of being blood-related?

"You lead the way." Elias looked at her.

Amanda could not hold back her urge to roll her eyes in exasperation. Then, she faked a smile. "Would you settle for excrement?"

A smile appeared on his face. "I would if you offered it to me."

Amanda scoffed before looking at her baby inside the sports car. "Baby, how about you and Selina get in my car?"

"Mommy, I want to sit in Mr. Winter's car. It's so cool. Aiden had no intention of getting out of the car and even looked like he wanted to live in it.

Elias offered, "I can send them home. You drive your car."

She felt like biting the man's head off. Why do I suddenly feel like I'm not Aiden's favorite anymore? My child only

has

eyes for a godforsaken sports car! What an ungrateful kid

Selina suddenly chimed in, "About that... Why don't you guys head over without me? I need to buy some ingredients because we're running out of groceries."

"Let's go together," Amanda proposed.

"I have no objections," Elias remarked.

In the back seat, Aiden yelled enthusiastically. "I have no objections too!"

Therefore, the bunch drove to a grocery store where Selina and Amanda were responsible for buying groceries while Elias and Aiden shopped in front of them. Their figures seemed so harmonious that any discerning person could tell they were father and son because they looked very similar.

In the meantime, Selina and Amanda were behind the two while pushing the shopping cart. Amanda looked at the two with slight jealousy.

"Amanda, has Aiden never met his father?" Selina asked.

Amanda retracted her gaze and seemed conflicted as she answered, "Yes. We got a divorce while I was pregnant, so the father and son have never seen each other."

"But your ex doesn't look like an irresponsible man, so why did you get a divorce? He can't be a violent. b❞stard like that husband of mine, right?" Selina continued pressing for answers.

"No, he's not. Though he has a temper, he would never beat a woman. What kind of man would he be if he did that?"

Selina's expression turned slightly bitter. "You're right. What kind of man would beat up their wife?"

"That's why I keep persuading you to make a report. I can be your defense attorney, so don't worry." Fury overcame Amanda when she thought about Selina being a victim of domestic violence. Meanwhile, Selina looked at Elias' back and then thought about her wimpy yet violent husband. It was true that sometimes comparisons shouldn't be made unless you want to face hard truths that one wouldn't come close to the other. "Okay! I want a divorce. I'm fed up with being beaten all the time!" She finally mustered her courage to file for a divorce.

Amanda could not hold back her laughter. "Atta girl. Domestic abuse is not a small issue. It's also illegal."

"Amanda?"

Suddenly, a man's voice interrupted their conversation.

Simon pushed his cart over to them, smiling gently. "It's such a coincidence. Are you here to buy groceries. as well? I was just about to buy some fresh produce and bring them to Galaxy Bay to have dinner with you.

guys.

A shocked Amanda's eyes widened as she screamed silently, Oh, my God! This has to be some sort of punishment!

"Simon, tonight might not be..." Amanda muttered, not knowing how she would reject him and suddenly feeling like she had betrayed him.

However, at that moment, Aiden came running with a box of chocolate, cutely exclaiming, "Mommy, 1 want to buy this chocolate!" Following behind Aiden was none other than Elias.

Simon was still smiling when he saw Aiden, but his smile instantly disappeared from his face when he saw Elias slowly approaching them. The two men met each other's cold gazes.

Amanda couldn't help but panic inwardly as she caught sight of the two men staring daggers at each other. This is not good. Not good.....

She thought she could even hear lightning zapping between them. So, she gulped and put on a stiff smile. "Baby, do you have anything else you'd like to buy? Go and grab some."

It was better not to let her child see what might happen next as it was unsuitable for children.

"Can I really? Why are you being so nice today, Mommy? Something's not right." Aiden looked at his mother curiously. She was a firm advocate for team no junk food, but why was she suddenly being so generous?

It was then that he finally noticed Simon's presence and excitedly screamed. "Uncle Simon!"

Uncle Simon? That scream caused everyone's expression to change slightly.

Of course, Simon was smiling at that form of address as it was also a kind of declaration of his identity.

Meanwhile, Elias turned gloomy after hearing that. Uncle Simon? Aiden refers to me by my last name, but he's on a first-name basis with that trash? -
