Chapter 127 Who Are You, Sir?

"Did you forget that we're already divorced, Elias Winters? You have no right to control me!"

"I do, and I've made up my mind that I will! You lied to me for such a long time and I haven't decided what I'm going to do with you yet." Elias' heart was filled with excitement at knowing that his son was alive, but also fury that he had been denied access to his son for so long. Although he wanted to dash into the house and tell Aiden that he was his father, he stopped himself because he was worried about frightening

him.

His words stunned her. "You? Punishing me? Who do you think you are? If I hadn't kept the child, he would already be dead because of your heartlessness!"

Meanwhile, in the house, Selina and Aiden stuck themselves to the window, watching the argument happening outside.

"Miss Selina, why do you think Mommy is arguing with that man? Is he bullying her?" Although Aiden didn't understand the complicated relationship that existed between adults, he could sense that Elias was far from a nice man.

That man? Selina repeated in her head, turning to him in confusion. So, he doesn't know his father. "Don't you know this man, Aiden? Haven't you seen him before?" she asked inquisitively as she had no idea what had happened between Amanda and Elias. Did they have a grudge so deep that Aiden has never met his father?

Aiden shook his head. "No, I've never seen him before, Oh no, he's bullying Mommy! I have to save her!" he exclaimed and turned around, heading toward the hallway to save his mother.

"Hey, Aiden! Come back here!" Selina immediately rushed ahead, grabbed him, and patiently explained to him. "He's not bullying your mommy. They're just having a rather... heated discussion, that's all. Why don't we finish up the jigsaw puzzle upstairs while we wait?"

Meanwhile, Amanda was exhausted from arguing with Elias and had set the umbrella aside since it had stopped raining. "Just go home. It's not appropriate for you to meet him now because you'll just scare him. Furthermore, he doesn't know that you exist and doesn't know you, either." She knew that this man wanted to barge in and meet his son, but that would only frighten the little brat.

The muscles on the handsome man's face turned stiff as he tried to suppress his fury at the fact that he missed out on four years of spending time with his child. "I know that, so I won't act recklessly, but I won' be able to sleep tonight. Go home and sleep with him tonight. I'll stand guard outside." He planned to stay here in his car tonight because he couldn't sleep even if he went home, anyway.

She blinked at him dumbly before blurting, "Hold on a minute. What on Earth are you thinking? Standing guard? Do you think you're on guard duty?"

"That goes without saying! My son was kidnapped from this place, wasn't he? Of course, I'll have to stay here in case something like that happens again!" When he recalled that his child had been abducted from his very home, Elias wanted to move Amanda and Aiden to another house with better and more rigid security policies right away. The security measure of this place is sh*t. Any Tom, Dick, and Harry can just come and go as they please.

"Will you stop cursing my son? Since you have all the time in the world, why don't you get that tombstone removed? Just the thought of it makes my blood boil." After Amanda said her piece, she twirled around

and marched into the house, ignoring him.

Elias immediately whisked out his phone and called a number, ordering sternly, "Remove that tombstone right now! Cut the crap! It's raining and dark? Do I sound like I care about your problems? Stop quibbling and just do as I say!"

On the other hand, Selina and Aiden turned their heads toward the creaking door at the same time. "Mommy! That man-

Before he could finish his sentence, Amanda held his hand, interjecting, "We're just discussing some issues regarding work. It's late. So, it's time to stop playing and go to bed."

Selina could roughly guess what had happened and didn't say anything as she kept the toys away silently.

"But Mommy, I saw that man biting you earlier. Did he bully you?"

Amanda's face instantly turned bright red, and she shot a look at Selina, who failed to stifle her laughter. Then, she cleared her throat awkwardly as she patted Aiden's head. "What does a boy like you know? Hurry up and shower before going off to bed. You have an early day tomorrow. Did you forget that you're going to the museum with your teacher tomorrow?"

"Oh, that's right! I almost forgot about it."

Hence, she took her boy upstairs, leaving Selina behind to put away the toys into their boxes. However, Selina couldn't help but sneak a peek outside through the window. When she did, she noticed that Elias was no longer kneeling in the rain, but neither did he leave as he was in his car.

After a while, Amanda came downstairs. "Why aren't you retiring for the night, Selina?"

"Amanda, your ex-husband is still in the car outside. Is lie planning to stay?"

"Ignore him. He can do whatever he wants. That crazy, obstinate man. She glanced at the car which was parked in the garden outside. Does he really plan to stay here the whole night?

Initially, Selina wanted to bombard Amanda with more questions to sate her curiosity, but she quickly. stopped the words from tumbling out of her mouth. I'd better not try my luck since it's clearly a private matter. All I can say is, each family has their own set of problems. "I'm turning in for the night, then. Call me if you need anything."

"Okay."

After Selina went upstairs, Amanda paced to the window and stared at the white Bentley parked outside, looking thoughtful. A few minutes later, she, too, went to bed upstairs and all the lights in the house went

out.

Elias was sitting in the car as he watched the lights slowly fade one after another. He didn't know how he could possibly describe his feelings tonight, but it was as exciting as a roller-coaster ride. He found his son by chance! The son whom he thought was aborted a long time ago actually survived and was already four.

He had imagined what his child would look like countless times if it had survived, and now that he had seen it for himself, he couldn't stop the adrenaline rush coursing through his veins. So, he shakily lit a cigarette and held it between his lips as he recalled the way Aiden addressed him earlier and couldn't help

but smile. Even he himself had never once imagined that he could put on such a tender smile.

Early the next morning, Aiden changed into his uniform, ate his breakfast, and was ready for kindergarten. Nonetheless, Amanda was still washing up and Selina was busy in the kitchen, so he secretly slipped into the garden to take a look at that strange car parked outside his home.

A sports car was perhaps the dream of every little boy, and Aiden was excited when he caught a glimpse of it. Thus, he dashed to the front of the car and saw that the front window was rolled down. When he moved closer to get a better look, he saw that the weird uncle from yesterday had fallen asleep on the seat.

The man felt something stroking his face while he was sleeping and frowned, thinking that he was dreaming. But soon enough, he felt a tiny finger poking his face and groggily opened his eyes.

What entered his view was a tiny face that greatly resembled his. A pair of dark, bright eyes blinked as the boy poked his face with his finger. Elias was still rather bleary although his eyes were open and thought. that he was still dreaming.

Aiden giggled adorably when he saw that the strange man was finally awake. "Who are you, sir? Why are you sleeping out here?"
