Elias’ Crimes and Punishments of Romance

Chapter 210 The Feeling of Heartache

As Elias listened to his son’s words, his chest tightened as if a hand reached into his chest and gripped his heart, causing aching pain.

It turned out that Aiden had suffered so much grievance in kindergarten. But at that time, he didn’t know anything and couldn’t do anything.

This little guy must’ve been very disappointed in me, his birth father, in many moments, huh? No wonder he doesn’t want a father and thinks a father is useless…

At that, Elias’ eyes turned red-rimmed with oncoming tears. He lowered his head slightly and let out a sigh, his eyes filled with aching tenderness.

“I’m sorry. I promise such things will never happen again. Please forgive me for only showing up now, for missing your life for the past four years. I really… I really didn’t mean it.” He sincerely repented to a three- year-old.

Even though Aiden was just a child, it didn’t mean he should be brushed off casually. One shouldn’t think a child could be easily fooled and that their feelings didn’t matter. Elias could genuinely sense the trauma he had toward his birth father, and he believed the little guy had likely heard even nastier words in school; he just didn’t bring them up.

Just how useless am I to let Aiden suffer such humiliation in school, to let him be blatantly called a b*stard?! Elias mused. If only I had been curious enough to learn about Amanda’s situation and searched for her whereabouts seriously, I would’ve learned about Aiden one way or the other. But… I didn’t…

Aiden gazed with wide eyes at Elias’ sincere expression and contemplated for a long while before finally saying, “Hmm… okay then. I’ll believe you for now, but now, I’m hungry. I want to eat.”

With that, the little munchkin returned to his food. Meals were no joking matter to him, and Amanda never had to worry when it came to eating. He was always a well-behaved child who ate his meals without any fuss.

A chuckle escaped Elias as he picked up his cutleries. But instead of eating, he grabbed some shrimp and placed them on the plate. With patience, he peeled the shrimp and then fed them to Aiden, who graciously opened wide and ate them all.

The dinner ended up quite pleasant. After finishing their meal, Elias spent some time playing with Aiden, Although there was still a hint of awkwardness between father and son, it was much better than before. It was definitely an improvement over their previous avoidance.
