Chapter 142 Aiden Freaked Out
In the meantime, at Southview Villa, Jennifer was having dinner with Grace. In reality. Jennifer was never crazy. She hid herself at the nursing home because she couldn’t accept the harsh reality. “I heard that Old Mr. Winters is here too. He is having dinner with Mr. Winters and a child,” Rosanne said out of the blue.
“A child? What child?” asked Jennifer as she put down her utensils, looking confused.
On the other hand, Grace’s heart almost stopped. After all, she was the only one who knew where the child came from. She had tried everything to stop Elias from knowing the child’s existence, yet he still found out. Thinking about it, she gripped her utensils tightly and frowned. If Elias knew about the child’s existence, he wouldn’t give up on Amanda.
“I’m not sure. I heard that it was Mr. Winters who brought the child back,” added Rosanne.
“What is he doing? Why did he bring a child back?” Jennifer mumbled.
Grace slowly drank the soup and said, “I dreamed about Yelan last night, Mrs. Winters.”
Jennifer’s expression changed drastically when she heard Grace mention Yelan, causing her to sit up straight instantly. “What was the dream about?”
“He was lying in a puddle of blood while mumbling something. Unfortunately, I didn’t hear what he was talking about… Grace lied without batting an eyelash. She knew this was the only way to control Jennifer, which was also the only person she could use.
In the meantime, Jennifer’s face was pale. She put a hand over her chest and said, “No wonder I feel unsettled for the past few days. Elias’ car accident is already a lesson. I won’t let anything happen to him again.
“I think there is something wrong with what happened back then. After all, everything seems too perfectly inclined.” Grace feigned innocence, seemingly as if she knew nothing about it.
Jennifer looked at Rosanne and said, “The priests are coming soon. Hurry up and tell them to do the exorcism. I feel like Yelan’s ghost is following me.” Jennifer wanted to stay with Grace because she felt that it would be safer.
Rosanne looked at the time and replied, “They are almost here. You can see them after finishing your
meal”
“No. Let’s go now. I don’t feel like eating anymore.” Jennifer stood up and left with a crazed look.
On the other hand, Grace smirked viciously and followed her.
In the meantime, Aiden had finished dinner and wanted to play with cars in the garage. With that. Elias could only oblige.
Howard had already left since he had errands to run. However, he was reluctant to leave Aiden’s side. “Bring the kid to the manor tomorrow. I’ll be waiting for you guys. If you dare not to come, I will teach you a lesson” As Howard spoke, he looked at Aiden adoringly. It felt unbelievable since he had never expected a grandson to appear out of nowhere suddenly.
Elias had already had enough of it. After all, Howard had mentioned it multiple times. Old people are love to nag he thought while saying, “Okay. I will”
After watching Howard enter the car and leave, Elias carried Aiden and walked toward the garage.
“Are you going to drive the car, Mr. Winters? I want to play.” Aiden looked at him with bright eyes.
“Sure.”
“Yeah! You are the best, Mr. Winters.
Hearing his words, Elias chuckled. Up until now, he had not yet returned to his senses that Aiden was his son. He couldn’t believe that he was a father.
Suddenly, Aiden noticed a spark not far away. “Look! Fireworks!” he exclaimed..
Confused, Elias looked over and saw sparks coming from Southview Villa. What is Mom doing again? He frowned. Next, he heard chanting coming from there.
“What’s that noise, Mr. Winters? It’s so noisy…” Aiden covered his ears. He didn’t know what the chanting was about and felt it was noisy.
Elias looked at him and said, “Why don’t we go and take a look?” Initially, he could tell the servants to take Aiden away. However, he didn’t want to leave Aiden’s side even for a second.
“Okay.” Aiden nodded.
Thus, Elias carried Aiden and walked toward Southview Villa. As they walked closer to the villa, Elias could hear the chanting clearer. His expression turned grim when he realized what was happening. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Jennifer and Grace kneeling while a group of priests was performing an
exorcism.
“What are you guys doing?!” Elias barked.
Immediately, Jennifer and Grace turned to look at him.
“Be quiet now, Elias. They are performing a ritual,” replied Jennifer as she prayed wholeheartedly.
Grace stood up and smiled happily. “Elias” It had been a long time since she had last seen him. She couldn’t get a hold of him, nor could she see him in the office. Now, she could finally meet him
This is ridiculous! Get out!” Elias scowled at the priests. He could tell that they were imposters at first glance. He never expected someone to be bold enough to trick his family.
At this moment, Aiden was frightened by Elias’ sudden outrage. He cried aloud through the room.
In the meantime, Jennifer noticed Aiden and approached them. “Who is this child? How could you simply bring a child back?”
“Hey, it’s alright now. I’m sorry I scared you?” Elias gently patted Aiden’s back when he realized he had frightened the latter. As he walked out of the villa, he said to the butler, “Get those imposters out of here!”
“Yes”
Aiden was still crying nonstop. After all, this was his first time seeing such an angry Elias.
Elias took Aiden to the garden and put him on the chair. Then, he comforted him, saying, “Stop crying now, Aiden. I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have been so fierce.”
Aiden Freaked Out
Aiden cried miserably and said, “I want Mommy. I want to go home.”
“Didn’t you say you want to play in the garage? I’ll send you back to Mommy later, okay?” Elias looked at the time and saw that it was still early, which meant that Amanda hadn’t got off work yet.
Hearing his words, Aiden pouted and said sadly, “No! I want Mommy now. I want her… Give me the phone. I want to call Mommy!”
Elias was speechless and didn’t know how to comfort Aiden. After all, he wasn’t used to it.
Just as he was about to call Amanda, a servant approached him and said, “Miss Bailey is here, Mr. Winters. She said she had returned from work early and was here to pick up Aiden.”
“Mommy!” Aiden saw Amanda’s figure and immediately stopped crying. He jumped off the chair and rushed toward her.
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.
