Chapter 128 Doting Father

Sir?

Elias just realized Aiden was referring to him and that it wasn't a dream. Even though he was a little angry. he also understood that Aiden didn't know who he was. Besides, he was already shaping up to be a polite boy by calling him, 'sir' rather than, 'Hey, you!

"I am... your mother's friend. You can call me Mr. Winters if you'd like." Elias slowly straightened his spine and answered him seriously as he regarded Aiden, carefully observing his features. Aiden was indeed his child as he looked exactly as he was when he was little.

"Oh... Mr. Winters, is that your car? It's so cool. It's different from the presents Mommy buys for me. The ones Mommy buys are so small."

Aiden was curiously checking out the sports car before him and really wanted to climb inside to have a look.

Elias smiled at his excited eyes, replaceing it amusing that Aiden was as interested in sports cars as he was.

"You like it? Come in and have a closer look," Elias lured the little boy before him.

Aiden's eyes immediately lit up. "Can I really? But Mommy said I can't touch people's stuff without asking. permission." "You didn't. I'm inviting you to take a quick peek. So, it's all right.”

The car door opened as the man got out of the car. He glanced at Aiden before inviting the child in a low voice, "Get in."

Aiden immediately had an excited smile painted on his lips. Thank you, Mr. Winters. But don't tell Mommy. She'll nag me."

Then, he hopped onto the car and used his arms in order to climb onto the driver's seat. His face was filled with delight as he grabbed onto the steering wheel with his chubby hands. "Wow! Your car's so cool. want to buy the same car when I grow up."

A smile graced Elias' face as he looked at the enthusiasm on Aiden's face and couldn't help but touch his head. "What's your name?"

"My name's Aiden Bailey."

Aiden Bailey... Elias repeated his name in his heart. So, his name is Aiden and we've crossed paths so many times before this.

The last time, when he bumped into Amanda and Simon eating, the little boy in Simon's arms was his son. Yet, he only saw the back of his child's head.

Another time was when Amanda begged him to save Aiden. He succeeded but didn't even spare Aiden a look. If only he had set aside his prejudice and taken a look at Aiden, he probably could have recognized that Aiden was his child with just a glance.

Regret filled his heart as he recalled the chances that he had allowed to slip past his fingers, but luckily, he finally saw Aiden's face last night. They resembled each other so greatly that no one could say that Aiden

wasn't his!

Suddenly, Amanda's voice rang. "Aiden Bailey! You're going to be late for school and you're still playing!"

Elias' thoughts were instantly pulled back to reality.

Amanda walked to the car with a frown as Aiden obediently got down from the car with his lips puckered while muttering, "Mommy's so fierce. Hmph!"

"What are you muttering now? Hurry up! You're such a slow poke. You're not three anymore. Amanda grabbed his hands.

However, Aiden had no qualms in retorting hotly, "It doesn't matter that I'm four because I'm still not a grown-up."

Elias couldn't help but laugh at them bickering. It was a heartwarming yet adorable scene. However, he had missed many such moments for four years. As Amanda was about to carry Aiden to her own car, he grabbed onto her wrist.

"What?" Amanda looked at him in confusion.

Elias offered, "Let me send you both."

"It's fine. I can-"

Unfortunately, Aiden shouted before she could finish her sentence, "Mommy! Let Mr. Winters send us! I want to sit in his car. It's very cool!"

This little brat is surely fond of the fancy stuff. How could he be bribed so easily? By a car no less! I couldn't help but feel like an idiot for assuming that he would spurn Elias instead....

Aiden grabbed her hand and swung it around as he pleaded cutely, "Mommy. Mommy. I want to sit in that car. Just one time, please?"

Then, Elias picked up him and said, "That's decided, then. You're going to school in this car today.

"Awesome!" Aiden jumped with joy as he immediately clambered onto the backseat, clearly fearing that his mother might say no if he didn't take a stand now.

Amanda was quite speechless. This was her son whom she had raised for four years. The little boy who warmed her heart numerous times was bought over by Elias, the sc*mbag father's car.

"Elias..."

"What? Didn't you say you were running late? Hop in." Elias got in the driver's seat and put on the seat belt.

Both he and Aiden looked up at Amanda at the same time waiting for her to get in.

Is this their father-and-son telepathy? They even look so alike....

She was left without a choice and begrudgingly made herself comfortable in the passenger seat. After she wore her seat belt, she glanced at Aiden in the back and said, "Aiden, you'd better behave. Otherwise, we're getting out of this car this instant."

"Okay. Okay" Aiden immediately sat down obediently and stopped moving around.

Elias had a doting smile on his face throughout the whole interaction as he started the car and slowly

drove out of Galaxy Bay. I

Aiden suddenly leaned against Elias' car seat and asked in his childlike voice, "Mr. Winters, what's the price tag for this car? I'm going to buy this. It's too cool."

"You like this? I'll just give this to you." Elias looked at Aiden's innocent face through the rearview mirror.

"Really? Will you, really? You're so generous, Mr. Winters!" Aiden almost vibrated off his seat with joy. I'm so lucky. Mr. Winters is an angel!

Alas, Amanda frowned unhappily as she glared at Elias' side profile. "What are you doing, Elias? You're teaching Aiden that it's okay to take something without working for it. You can't spoil him like this." Elias glanced at her with a doting smile. "I like it."

"I don't! I worked hard to raise him in the past four years and ensure that he'll cultivate good habits, but he's going to forget them all with you spoiling him rotten like this!"

Amanda didn't agree with Elias' parenting style one bit. Aiden would become a spoiled brat at the rate Elias was doting on him.

"It's not that serious. He's still young. We can still teach him." Elias wasn't concerned. It might be due to the sudden discovery that he had a child, so he couldn't help himself from showering all the love he had for his surprise baby.

She didn't reply as she didn't want to argue with him in front of Aiden.

After they dropped Aiden off at the kindergarten, they watched as he entered the door as if they were a pair of loving parents who were not divorced.

Then, Amanda turned toward Elias and snapped, "I don't plan on letting Aiden know you're his father. So, don't even dream about it."

Elias simply curled his lips into a cold smirk as he said tauntingly, "I won't need to dream because he is my

son."
