The Lawyer’s Romance in Law

Chapter 55 Aiden Is Missing.

Inside the mansion, Amanda was busy making fish stew, and it tasted a little bland when she took a spoonful, so she asked Colette for some salt. However, no response came from the woman. She turned around and found Colette was no longer in the kitchen.

Where has she gone? She was still here helping me with dinner a second ago…

“Mrs. Colette?” Amanda called out again, and it was only then the nanny hurried back into the kitchen. “You called, Miss Bailey?”

“Where were you?” she couldn’t help asking. “Could you please pass me the salt? The soup tastes a little bland.”

At that, Colette handed her the seasoning, then smiled guiltily. “I went to answer a call and also checked on Aiden. I’m surprised by how quiet he is. He’s been sitting in the dining room the whole time, waiting for you. I said he could watch some cartoons, but he insisted on being the first person you see when you serve the food.”

Amanda pulled a relieved smile in response. Her precious baby boy had always been her pride. and joy, after all.

“He’s been pretty attached to me since he was a baby.”

At that, Colette couldn’t help asking, “Miss Bailey, please don’t mind me being nosy, but the company of a father is also important to a child’s growth. Are you not planning to reconcile with the father? Boys especially need their father, you know.”

Amanda’s smile gradually disappeared, and it was soon replaced by displeasure. This is a private issue, Mrs. Colette, and it’s not within your job scope. You just need to take care of Aiden.”

“I know, I know, I’m just curious as to why you’ve never talked about Aiden’s father, that’s all.”

“The stew should be ready in another ten minutes or so. Bring the dish out later, will you? I’m heading out,” said Amanda as she left the kitchen, not wanting to continue the conversation with. Colette anymore.

Although she was a decent nanny, she was very inquisitive and would often ask her about Aiden’s father. If anything, she reminded Amanda of a busybody.

If it weren’t for the fact that she took great care of Aiden, Amanda would’ve long fired her. It was pretty annoying when one’s nanny constantly pried into one’s privacy.

After leaving the kitchen, Amanda went to the dining room and found the little one sitting quietly. at the table, waiting for dinner to be served. His actions were already in high regard toward her cooking.

A chuckle escaped her as she went up to Aiden and patted his fuzzy head.
