Chapter 29 An Awkward Dinner

Later, Amanda returned warily to Lotus Waterfront and found Colette making dinner while Aiden’s chirps came from inside the bedroom.

He seemed to be on the phone with Simon again.

Why does this little brat call Simon whenever he gets the chance?

At that, she tip-toed to the doorway and quietly pushed the door open, only to find the little one giggling over the phone.

She leaned closer, wanting to hear what the two were talking about.

“Will you really be coming back the day after tomorrow, Mr. Simon? You’re not lying to me, are you? Why didn’t Mommy tell me anything about it?”

“Really. Maybe she wants to give you a surprise.”

“Wow! What a surprise! Will you treat me to yummy food when you come back, Mr. Simon? Mommy won’t let me eat any of them. Hmph!”

“Sure thing. Your mommy and I will take you out for yummy food. You can eat whatever you like; I’ll back you up.”

“Yay! Thank you, Mr. Simon!”

After hearing their conversation, Amanda had to admit that Simon had a way of coaxing a child despite never having been a dad himself. How does he have so much experience? Is he gifted at it?

With that, she entered the bedroom and deliberately cleared her throat.

Instantly, Aiden jumped out of bed like a startled bunny and said to Simon, “Mommy’s home! She doesn’t like it when I interrupt your work. I’ll see you in two days, Mr. Simon. Bye!”

At that, the boy speedily hung up and chucked the phone to the armchair aside.

“Mommy, I’ve only talked to Mr. Simon for a few minutes. I definitely didn’t interrupt his work. I called during his break,” Aiden explained solemnly with eyes filled with innocence.

“Really? How do you know that he’s on a break?” Amanda feigned sternness.

“I calculated it. The time difference between here and Esmos is such that it’s Mr. Simon’s break time now,” said the little one as he calculated with his tiny hands. It seemed that he had indeed taken a lot of time to get to the result.

Tsk… This little devil is quite smart.

At that, she ruffled his hair and sighed. “Do you like Simon that much?”
