Chapter 132

Chapter 132 Simon Is Called Uncle Simon, and I'm Mr Winters?

Elias' gaze was as sharp as a sword when he stared at Amanda. The fierce look in his eyes seemed to say, "Amanda! Is this how you're teaching my son?!"

At this moment, Amanda just wanted to replace a hole to hide in. How could she resolve this awkward situation?

"Uncle Simon, what a coincidence to see you here." Aiden approached Simon as if they were old. acquaintances.

On the other hand, Simon ignored Elias" angry gaze and smiled as he patted Baby's head.

"Well, I plan to buy groceries and come over to have dinner with you and your Mommy tonight. I'll be making a fish dish for you, alright?"

"Yayyy! Mr. Winters will also be having dinner at our house tonight. The more, the merrier!" Aiden's round eyes sparkled, and he looked adorable with his joyful smile.

Elias will be joining as well? Simon smiled meaningfully. Is that so? Mr. Winters is also freeloading tonight.

huh?"

"Mind your own f*cking business!" Elias couldn't bear it anymore. If it weren't for being in front of the child, he would have thrown a punch long ago.

She glared angrily at him. "You're swearing in front of the child! Do you want him to learn that from you? It's not easy for him to learn good things, but it's definitely too easy for him to learn bad things!" Elias was at a loss for words upon hearing that.

Selina chuckled and couldn't hold back her laughter. From what she could tell, Amanda and her ex-husband seemed more suitable for each other, especially considering they already had a child together. By the time they had returned to Galaxy Bay, the sky had turned dark. Selina and Simon were busy cooking dinner in the kitchen, while Amanda assisted on the side. Since Elias had never been skilled in cooking, having relied on the guidance of the Winters Family's chef in the past, he had no idea how to cook. So, he could only accompany Aiden in the living room, playing with toys.

"Mr. Winters, what's your full name? I'm Aiden, Baby asked curiously.

Elias answered earnestly, "Remember, my name is Elias Winters. Also, why do you call him Uncle Simon?"

He really wanted to know where he had lost to Simon. Why would Aiden call Simon "Uncle Simon" but refer to him as Mr. Winters instead?

"Because he is Uncle Simon. He will be my daddy and Mommy's husband in the future," Baby answered while playing with a puzzle. Although Mr. Winters was a nice person and had saved him, Uncle Simon's position was unshakable. He was the most suitable man for Mommy.

Elias' expression changed drastically. "What? Daddy?" He really wanted to yell at the little brat, 7 am your dad!" But he couldn't. How could this kid recognize a random dude as his own father? "Yeah, Uncle Simon is the best. He's most suitable to be Mommy's husband," Aiden said without even looking up, as he was busy playing with the puzzle.

At that moment, Elias felt antsy, anxious, and agitated. It seemed that Aiden had been completely brainwashed by Simon. If this little brat didn't take his side, what hope did he have of pursuing Amanda? "Aiden, aren't you afraid of hurting your dad's feelings by saying that? Don't you want to go back to your daddy's side with Mommy?"

He knew Aiden had never seen his biological father since childhood, and there might be some resistance. So, he had to take things slowly. He wasn't in a rush, but he absolutely couldn't let Simon have a chance to get ahead.

Aiden immediately looked up at Elias upon hearing his words, and his little face was filled with grievances. "Daddy won't be sad. He doesn't love Mommy or me. Mommy said he didn't want us, so I don't want him either. I want to replace a good man and a good husband for Mommy."

"Nonsense! Who told you that?" Elias instantly became angry. Who taught Aiden all this nonsense? When did he not want Amanda or the child? No wonder the child affectionately called Simon "Uncle Simon. It turned out he resented his biological father.

Aiden set aside the puzzle he was holding, took a quick glance at his mommy, who was busy kitchen, stood up, and approached Elias. He whispered, "Mr. Winters, I'll let you in on a little secret. I asked Mommy for Daddy's picture, but Mommy said she didn't have any, so Daddy definitely hates us. Otherwise, why wouldn't he leave a single picture for us?"

Once again, Elias was at a loss for words.

Indeed, he failed to fulfill his role as a father. It had been four years, and only now did he discover the existence of his son. And during these four years... it was unfathomable how greatly Amanda despised him, to the point where she never mentioned him to Aiden or even showed Aiden a picture of him. The mere thought of it ached his heart.

Elias scooped up Baby and settled him on his own lap, patiently explaining. "Aiden, maybe your dad has his reasons. Because why wouldn't he want you? He has been searching for you all this time, but he just couldn't replace you."

"Why couldn't Daddy replace us?" Aiden's eyes widened with curiosity.

How should he explain this? Elias fell silent for a moment, sighed, and replied, "Because he didn't know you were born. If he had known, he would definitely have found you and Mommy. Daddy is yours and Mommy's, alright?"

"Mr. Winters, how do you know all of this? Do you know Daddy?" Baby suddenly became alert. He found Mr. Winters quite strange because Mr. Winters seemed to know many things.

"Well, yeah."

"Do you really know Daddy? Can you take me to meet him? I've never seen Daddy before, and I want to meet him." Aiden instantly became excited. He had always been curious about what Daddy looked like, but he couldn't tell that Mr. Winters and he looked alike.

Elias felt a pang of regret for claiming to know the father. "Well, your daddy is currently away on a business trip. Let's wait until he finishes his work," he responded, realizing it wasn't the ideal moment to disclose the truth and acknowledge Aiden since he needed to give Aiden some time to adjust.

"Oh... then, Mr. Winters, does Daddy really love Mommy? My teacher said Daddy loves Mommy, and

that's why I was born."

Elias let out a soft chuckle. "Absolutely, he does. That's indeed why you were born."

"So, what the teacher said is true..." Aiden seemed to be lost in thoughts.

Selina briefly stepped out of the kitchen to retrieve something, leaving only Amanda and Simon behind. The atmosphere became incredibly awkward, and Amanda couldn't even bring herself to meet his gaze. After Simon finished cleaning the fish he was holding, he turned toward her. "Amanda?"

"W-What's the matter?" She seemed flustered as if she had done something wrong.

"What were you thinking? The water is boiling." He glanced at the pot of boiling water and walked over to turn off the stove.

Only then did she snap back to reality. "Sorry, I was lost in thought just now."

"Be more careful next time. It can be dangerous."

"Okay..."

Then, he tried to ask in a relaxed tone, "Are you considering giving Elias another chance? It seems like he already knows that Aiden is his son."

"I'm not! He's the one who keeps bothering me!" she denied firmly.
