Elias sneered contemptuously, "So, those sarcastic and derogatory words spoken by Simon's parents were my instruction?" Amanda remained speechless as Simon's parents' words made it clear that they looked down on her, deeming her unworthy of their son. In that case, regardless of whether Elias caused trouble tonight, this dinner would end on a sour note because Simon's parents didn't come to have a meal with her, but they came to make her back down.

"Take me home, Amanda said as she headed straight to the passenger seat and got in. Noticing her, Aiden looked up and said, "Mommy, why did you come so late? Mr. Winters and I have waited for a long time."

"Sorry, Mommy got held up with something. Let's go home, alright? Did you have dinner at Mr. Winters house? Are you hungry?" Since she hadn't eaten anything either, she could cook a simple meal at home. But Aiden's face lit up with excitement as he said, "Mommy, the cook at Mr. Winters' house makes really delicious food. I ate a lot! Can I go to Mr. Winters' house for dinner every day?" Amanda was speechless upon hearing that and thought that this little brat must have been won over by Elia's cook.

At this moment, Elias got into the car and sat in the driver's seat before responding. "Of course, you can. Come to my house for dinner every day from now on. Our family cook can make a lot of tasty dishes." "Baby, Mommy has been busy these past few days, and Miss Selina is on leave. So, Mr. Winters will take care of you at his house. You have to be well-behaved and not cause any trouble or mischief, okay?" Amanda looked at her son and spoke up.

"Ok, Mommy. You've nagged about it so many times," Aiden replied before lowering his head and immersing himself in the fun of playing with his phone as his little palms tapped on the screen skillfully. Elias smiled upon seeing that as Elias temper was quite similar to his when he was young. He had always been impatient. Soon, the car engine was started, and the car was driven away. Just then, Simon happened to catch up, but all he saw was the back of the car. So, he drove directly to Galaxy Bay

Meanwhile, at Galaxy Bay, Elias accompanied the mother and son back home, but Amanda had no intention of inviting him in for a cup of tea. "Well, you should go back now. You've had a long day taking. care of the child," she said. With that, she picked up Aiden and swiftly retrieved the phone from Aiden before handing it back to Elias.

Seeing that, Elias accepted the phone with a light chuckle. "You truly are heartless. Do I look like a free chauffeur and nanny to you?"

"What else do you want to do? It's late already, and we need to go to bed," she replied. She was so exhausted that all she wanted was to return, put the child to sleep, take a relaxing bath, and rest. However, Elias disregarded Amanda and turned his attention to Aiden. "Little rascal, since I've invited you over to dinner, can you please get me a glass of water?"

"Mommy bought me some juice. Mr. Winters, would you like some? It's really delicious. Aiden blinked his doe eyes and looked at him innocently.

"Sure, I'm a little thirsty."

"Mommy, Mr. Winters invited me to dinner, and I want to offer him some juice too. Aiden hugged Amanda's neck and requested. Hearing that made Amanda speechless. Consequently, Elias entered their house, and Amanda had to go and pour some juice for him. Aiden, on the other hand, quickly fell asleep

due to exhaustion.

Just then, the doorbell rang. Amanda walked over and saw Simon standing outside. However, Simon was

the last person she wanted to see at that moment, not because of what his parents said, but because she didn't know how to face him or know what to say. Simon continued to ring the doorbell persistently as he knew that Amanda was home.

Elias had just taken a sip of the juice, but it was excessively sweet that he furrowed his brow. He wondered why children liked such sugary stuff. Noticing that she hesitated to open the door, he stood up and walked over. "Why aren't you opening the door? Is your foe standing outside?" After glancing at Simon standing outside the doorbell camera, Elias instantly grasped the situation. "Do you want me to help you get rid of him?"

"This is his house. How could I bring myself to chase him away?" Amanda shook her head.

*I'll help you find a new place to live. It had always bothered Elias that his wife and child were living in Simon's villa. It just didn't sit right with him. The more he thought about it, the more irritated he became. In the past, she would have definitely refused, but now

Amanda nodded. "Just to make things clear, I don't need you to buy me a house. Help me find a place, and I'll pay the rent." After all, Simon's parents had made their stance clear. There was no point in entangling herself further. Even if she didn't want to return to Elias side, it was unlikely for her to be with Simon.

"Up to you," he answered. In reality, he desired for Amanda and the child to stay at the estate together, but he knew Amanda would undoubtedly refuse. However, the persistent Simon kept ringing the doorbell as he was determined to see her today. If he continued pressing it, he might wake the slumbering Aiden upstairs. With that thought in mind, Amanda grabbed her phone and dialed Simon's number. It connected swiftly, and the doorbell abruptly ceased.

"Amanda, I'm sorry. I genuinely had no knowledge of what my parents said to you. I apologize on their behalf. I... Simon sounded anxious over the phone.

Amanda took a moment to calm her emotions and replied, "It's alright. Their actions were justifiable. They were thinking about your best interests. I understand."

"Can you please open the door? I want to explain. You haven't eaten anything tonight, have you? Are you. hungry? Let me prepare supper for you."

"No need, it's very late. You should go back, and please refrain from ringing the doorbell. Aiden is already asleep. After conveying her message, she intended to end the call, but Elias swiftly snatched the phone

away.

After taking hold of the phone, he spoke with a commanding and overbearing tone, "Stop being concerned. I'll take her out for supper if she's hungry. Don't ring the doorbell again and disturb my son. Understood?"

Following that, he abruptly ended the call. Amanda was dumbfounded. How could this despicable man be so

unreasonable?

"Why are you staring at me like that?" Elias gazed calmly at her, seemingly unaware that his words were inappropriate.

Amanda couldn't help but erupt in anger, yelling. "How can you behave like this?! You're currently in his house, yet you treat them so rudely. Are you planning to become a tyrant?!" "Haven't you paid the rent? So, it's legal," Elias snapped back with a sneer.

Hearing that made Amanda speechless. Despite being a lawyer, conversations with Elias always left her speechless. "Have you finished your juice? If you're done, go home. I want to sleep. I'm tired!"

"Are you sure you want me to leave? What if that scum barges in after I left? I'm responsible to ensure my son's safety." Elias narrowed his gaze slightly,

"So, you intend to stay here tonight and not leave?"

"It's not about staying here; it's about protecting my son." Elias defended himself confidently before returning to the couch and having the sickeningly sweet juice.
