Chapter 315 I Don't Like Daddy Anymore!

This time, Elias was genuinely furious.

Why does he have such a bad temper? It'll only get worse when he grows up. What a nasty temper for a little child! "Aiden Bailey!" Elias berated. "Who taught you to throw tantrums and throw things around? Pick it up!"

"I don't wanna! I don't wanna..." Aiden cried as he retreated. His father terrified him.

It was Elias' first time being this fierce with his son. Even though he hadn't truly lost his temper yet, it was enough to scare a three-year-old boy.

"I'm only going to say this one last time! Pick it up!"

Elias slowly straightened up. He felt bad to see his son standing there looking so hurt and aggrieved, but he felt the need to rein in his son's temper.

Aiden began to wail again. "You're a meanie, Daddy! I don't like you anymore! I'm not going to pick it up!"

Just then. Rosie pressed her hand against her wounded forehead and stepped in front of Aiden. Just forget it, Eli. He's still a child. You shouldn't be so fierce toward him..."

Aiden was already feeling aggrieved, and the fact that Rosie was acting all fake by pretending to defend him made him even angrier.

He pushed her away as hard as he could and once again, she cried out weakly as she fell.

"Aiden!" Elias roared.

Aiden froze in fear. He stared at his father in terror before he began to cry again.

Both Miriam and the butler were too afraid to go over and comfort him.

"Ouch... My head... It hurts..." Rosie clutched her head and cried out as she lay on the floor.

Elias helped her up and took her hand away. Her wound looked quite deep and was still bleeding.

"Get the car ready," Elias instructed the butler.

"Yes, Mr. Winters!" the butler said with a nod.

Elias carried Rosie out of the living room.

"I feel so dizzy... Do you think I got a concussion, Eli?"

"Stop talking. I'm taking you to the hospital."

Aiden was left all alone, crying at the top of his lungs.

Once Elias was gone, Miriam hurried over to Aiden and tried to comfort him. "Don't cry, Mr. Aiden. It's okay. Don't cry."

Elias carried Rosie out of the house and waited for the driver to bring the car around.

This was Rosie's first time being carried by him. She didn't care about the injury or the pain. All she wanted was to stay in his arms for a little longer. She wrapped her arms tightly around his neck, afraid that he would toss her aside at any moment.

Just then. Amanda drove into the compound and the car came to a stop.

When Amanda got out, she was greeted by this sight and didn't know how to react.

She never thought she would see Elias carrying Rosie, and Rosie seemed to be sporting a fairly serious. injury.

Upon seeing Amanda, Rosie tightened her arms around Elias and nestled even closer to him. She wanted.

to let Amanda see this.

Elias spotted Amanda as well, just as the driver brought the car over.

Before Amanda could say anything, Elias explained, "Rosie's injured. I'm taking her to the hospital. Go and tend to Aiden. He's crying."

As soon as he finished speaking, he eased Rosie into the car and got in.

Amanida was still staring in a daze as she watched the car leave. All of a sudden, she recalled what Ehas said. just now.

Aiden's crying? Her eyes widened and she immediately shot into the house.

"Daddy's a meanic! I don't like him anymore. I want to go home. I want Mommy..." Aiden sobbed.

"You can't say that, Mr. Aiden. That's your father. You can't talk about your father like that."

Back in the living room, Miriam was still trying to get Aiden to stop crying, to no avail.

As soon as Amanda entered the living room and heard Aiden's heart-wrenching cries, she felt as if her heart was breaking. "Aiden!" The sound of Amanda's voice stopped Aiden's crying. He looked around for his mother.

Once he saw her, he began to wail even harder. "Mommy... I want a hug.”

Amanda went over and pulled Aiden into her arms. They held each other tightly as if they had been separated for decades.

She kept trying to comfort Aiden but he only cried harder and harder. He clung to her and refused to leave her arms.

Amanda's legs were beginning to go numb, so she had to bring Aiden over to the couch and sit down. As she wiped his tears away, she patiently continued to comfort him. "Do you still feel like crying. Aiden? Can you tell Mommy what happened? Why are you crying?"

"Mommy, I don't like Daddy. Daddy's a meanie. Daddy scolded me..."

"He scolded you? What did he do?"

Amanda recalled Rosie's bleeding wound. Did it have something to do with Aiden?

"Aiden. Mommy wants to ask you a question. Do you know why Miss Rosie was bleeding? What happened. just now?"

The very mention of Rosie made Aiden agitated again. "Mommy! I don't like that ugly woman!" he cried out angrily. "She's a bad person! She made Daddy scold me! I wasn't the one who injured her, but Daddy scolded me!"

Although Aiden's story jumped around a little. Amanda got the gist of it.

Rosie's head was injured and Elias thought Aiden did it, but it wasn't his fault, so he felt deeply hurt and upset because he thought Elias didn't believe him.

"Okay. I believe you. I know you definitely didn't hurt Miss Rosie, right?"

"Yes! That's right! I didn't do it but Daddy scolded me! That ugly woman lied to Daddy! She's a bad person!" Aiden found Rosie utterly detestable, and since Elias took Rosie's side, he hated Elias too. All of a sudden, Amanda heard Aiden's tummy rumbling.

"Haven't you had your milk yet? Did no one prepare it for you?" Amanda became a little angry. She told Elias countless times that Aiden had to have his milk once he woke up.

Aiden pouted. "I was mad at Daddy so I threw the bottle on the floor. I didn't get to finish it. I'm hungry."

Amanda finally noticed the broken bottle on the floor that Miriam was cleaning up.

"Prepare another bottle of milk for Aiden, Mrs. Wallaby

"Okay." Miriam stopped cleaning up and went off to get the milk.

Amanda kissed Aiden's little face. "It's okay. Don't cry. Once Daddy gets home, I'll teach him a lesson, okay? He shouldn't have scolded you.”

"Exactly!" Aiden was finally appeased enough to calm down and stop crying.
