Elias’ Crimes and Punishments of Romance

It was already late at night by the time Amanda returned.

She had been waiting for Symeon to look for her. Yet, she had wasted her entire day waiting for him only for him to stand her up.

Frankly, she found it strange as his father told her he had already returned. So, he should have already done something by now.

Just as she was about to fall asleep, the door was pushed open. She immediately sobered up and rubbed her eyes, only to see Symeon. Thus, she straightened her spine as a vigilant expression appeared on her face. “What are you here for?”

“What’s with that expression? Weren’t you waiting for me?” He laughed.

“When have I ever waited for you? You narcissist,” she snarked.

He simply chuckled at her response. “Congratulations, your scheme succeeded. You are more than welcome to leave now, Of course, the people who intended to save you will be accompanying you. However… the child will be staying with me.””

Amanda’s eyes lit up with surprise. I knew it would work!

Still, even though she was deliriously happy, she had to appear calm in front of him. Unfortunately, Symeon had already noticed the brief flicker of joy in her eyes.

“I truly didn’t expect you to reach an agreement with Elizabeth. I have to say, you’re quite a wily one.”

He had indeed underestimated this woman who appeared soft and meek on the outside. For a moment, he had forgotten that she was actually a rising star in the legal world.

Nonetheless, she couldn’t be bothered to respond to his words as she replied, “Before I leave, can I see Aiden? I want to have a good chat with him. That way, he will definitely be more obedient. Otherwise, I’m certain that you wouldn’t be able to calm him down even if you cloned yourself to satisfy his needs.”

Symeon nodded. That was true enough. This little guy seemed well-behaved most of the time. Regrettably, the instant he started making a fuss, no one could hope to talk any sense to him until he calmed down on his own.

“Remember, don’t instill any thoughts of hatred toward me in the child. You have to tell him. that I am his biological father.”
