Chapter 130 Am I Not a Person
“Let go of me! The child’s not mine! I’m just a nanny for someone living around this area. This is my employer’s child!” Selina struggled, wanting to leave but could not escape the man’s grasp.
Although she was a great mixed martial artist, her husband was a kickboxer who was no weaker than her. They first got together because they shared similar hobbies, but who would have guessed their relationship would be the beginning of her suffering. Who would have thought that she would receive beatings from her husband almost every day after her marriage?
“Miss Selina, he’s a bad guy. We need to call the police. Aiden looked at the angry man before him, feeling scared. After all, there was a tremendous height difference between them.
When the man heard Aiden’s words, he immediately barked, “Whom are you calling a bad guy, brat? How am a bad guy? Do the children living in this residential area have no manners? How can you simply accuse someone of being a bad guy?”
Aiden was clearly frightened by the tall, burly man, so he hugged Selina’s neck tightly. “Miss Selina, I’m scared.
There, there, Aiden. Don’t be scared. Selina gently patted Aiden’s back to comfort him. Then, she looked at her husband. “Come at me if you have anything to say, but don’t vent your anger on a child. This is my employer’s child. He has nothing to do with us, so let me send him home.”
“Get on with it, then. I’ll send the brat home with you. He’s such a nuisance. The man shoved Selina. It was clear that he would keep badgering her until he received what he was looking for and wouldn’t leave a second before that happened.
Meanwhile, Selina felt the blood draining from her face, and her eyes seemed horrified as she wracked her mind to devise a plan to get rid of her abusive husband.
Aiden threw his cotton candy at the man, angrily chastising. “Don’t you dare bully Miss Selina, you bad guy!”
“Shut up, brat, or I’ll beat you up! What an ill-mannered brat. Do you think you’re better than everyone else because you get to live in a villa?” The man kept cursing, utterly uncouth.
At that moment, Elias’ tall figure suddenly appeared like a knight in shining armor as he threatened coldly, “I dare you to lay your hands on that child. Whom are you calling ill-mannered?”
That voice! Selina turned around, and her eyes lit up with relief when she discovered it was Elias! Isn’t that Amanda’s ex-husband, Aiden’s father?
“Mr. Winters?” Aiden was so shocked to see Elias that his eyes widened as he exclaimed in surprise.
As Selina did not want to implicate the child in her personal matters, she handed the child to Elias. “Sir, please take Aiden away. This is my family affairs. I can handle it myself.
But Elias did not take the child. Instead, he glanced at her and instructed, “My car is over there. Bring Aiden to the car and leave this to me.”
Then, he tossed Selina the keys before turning his attention back to the burly man before him.
Selina was slightly hesitant because this was, after all, her private affairs, so how could she trouble someone else to help her? Moreover, this man was also Amanda’s ex-husband!
The man was extremely annoyed when he saw Elias trying to play the hero, so he growled, “Who the f*ck are you? Trying to be the hero? What? Are you that b*tch’s new boyfriend? That’s great. You brought this on yourself!”
“Sir, I think it’s best if you leave with Aiden. I don’t want to bring you into this, or Aiden either… Amanda has been so nice to me, so I can’t let you guys get in harm’s way.” Selina still insisted that Elias take Aiden away and let her deal with this matter alone because this had absolutely nothing to do with them.
On the other hand, Elias was clearly annoyed by the man and repeated his order, “Wait in the car and leave this to me. Your responsibility is to protect the child.”
Once he finished, he swung his fist at the man’s face.
That seemingly tall and burly man fell to the ground with just a punch. Even Selina did not see that coming, and she looked at Elias with admiration.
The child in her hands could not help but gasp in astonishment, “Mr. Winters is awesome!”
“Wait in the car. Don’t make me repeat myself the third time!” Elias demanded sternly.
Selina finally reacted and clutched the keys with a desperate grip before hastily bringing Aiden to the car.
The eman on the ground was stupefied by the blow. He had never assumed that a seemingly nobleman like Elias would behave so violently and even dare to punch him! “You’re f*cking dead! How dare you punch
me?!”
The man wanted to get up and return Elias’ attack with a blow of his own. Alas, he did not expect that Elias would kick his chest and send him sprawling to the ground.
“It’s really your unlucky day today. I’ve been in a bad mood and have no place to vent it. Since you’ve delivered me your entire self as a punching bag, how could I let such an opportunity slip through my fingers?” Elias snarled as he stepped on the man and loosened his tie. His actions made it seem as though he was about to truly deliver a violent beatdown to the man that had dared to threaten his son.
Meanwhile, Selina quickly hid in the car with Aiden. After she ensured that Aiden was no longer scared and fully settled, she intended to call the police but felt dumbfounded when she turned around and saw the scene playing before her eyes….
Her husband had always been the one beating someone else up for some imagined slight, but now, he was pinned down by Elias’ foot, unable to move. She almost thought that her eyes were playing tricks on her when she noticed such a bizarre scene.
Aiden had his face squished against the window as he watched the fight and even applauded, “Good luck, Mr. Winters! Beat up the bad guy!”
Suddenly, Selina’s phone began ringing as a call from Amanda came in. She couldn’t stop gaping in utter bewilderment while her husband was being severely beaten by someone half his size. Still, she answered the call, where she heard Amanda’s voice, inquiring, “Selina, is Aiden with you? Why aren’t you back yet?”
“Huh? Oh, right. Amanda, you need to come over right now! I bumped into my husband while I was picking up Aiden!”
“What?! That abusive dumpster fire? Where are you? I’ll come over immediately!” Amanda’s tone immediately changed when she heard that Selina’s se’mbag of a husband had made an appearance.
Selina was so focused on the situation that she almost forgot she was speaking to Amanda on the phone.
When she noticed that her husband wasn’t about to make a nuisance of himself, especially now that he was in a very one-sided fight and losing, she assured Amanda, saying. “You don’t have to rush. Fortunately, we encountered your ex-husband. He has helped us out of that situation, so we’re fine now. Don’t worry. Drive safely.”
“Elias? He’s there as well?”
Strangely enough, Amanda instantly felt assured after hearing Selina mention her ex-husband. It seemed like Selina and Aiden were safe because Elias was there.
Selina nodded. “Yes. He’s amazing. I have to say that I did not expect him to be so capable of fighting since he looks like such a gentleman.”
“Send me your location. I’m heading over right now!”
“Okay!”
Not long after that, Elias returned to the parking lot, leaving the man all battered and bruised and unable to get up without assistance.
Selina and Aiden were both flabbergasted as they did not expect the scene to be so… violent.
At that moment, Amanda raced her way here and parked her car in the parking spot behind them. Then, she anxiously got out of the car and approached them. “Selina! Aiden! Are you alright?”
Amanda instantly felt relieved when seeing the two were safe and sound inside Elias’ car.
Meanwhile, Elias stood to the side with a few drops of blood staining his white shirt. Yet, he couldn’t help but lose his temper when Amanda refused to pay a single attention to him.
“Am I invisible to you?” Elias grumbled through gritted teeth.
Amanda replied, “Uhm. What about you? Are you alright?”
Honestly, she had almost forgotten about this devil in her panic. Then again, when she recalled Elias’ glorious fighting streak, she was certain that he was fine. Everyone in this place could be dead but Elias would definitely remain standing.
She sprinted down the stairs but suddenly remembered her pregnancy and slowed down. Clutching the test strip in her hand, she wondered what Elias Winters' reaction would be once he heard the news.
Yet, when Amanda was halfway down the stairs, she saw two figures in the living room—Elias and a sexy woman. Slowing down her steps, she held the handrail tightly and felt her heart sink. That was because she saw her husband and the woman behaving affectionately as though they were a smitten couple.
