The Lawyer’s Romance in Law

Chapter 75 Parent-child Sports Event

Amanda’s gaze fell to the floor as she stole a glance at her son, who sat peacefully drinking milk from his bottle. With a wistful smile, she addressed Simon over the phone. “Simon, it’s not right to deceive Miss Gowen. If there’s genuine affection between you two, let fate take its course.”

Before Simon could utter a word in response, she abruptly ended the call, denying him the opportunity to explain himself further.

“Mommy!”

She then turned her attention back to Aiden, cradling his bottle, and inquired, “What’s the matter?”

“Why can’t you be kinder to Uncle Simon?” He defended his favorite stepdad candidate, and his voice tinged with indignation. He genuinely believed that Simon was a good person.

“Since when am I not kind? Finish your milk quickly, and then we’ll take a bath and go to sleep. It’s been too long since you’ve been to kindergarten.”

She then urged her son to finish his milk promptly.

As Aiden continued to sip his milk, he suddenly let out a frustrated huff and tossed the bottle aside. “I was just telling Uncle Simon about the parent-child sports event at kindergarten tomorrow. I wanted him to come with us, Mommy.”

Parent-child sports event….

Amanda feigned a light-hearted tone as she wanted to spare her son any disappointment. “Don’t worry. Mommy will be right there with you. It’s a fun event where parents and children team up. And let me tell you. Mommy’s got some serious athletic skills!”

However, he responded with a knowing look, challenging her words. “Mommy, you always say lying is bad. It makes your nose grow longer, remember?”

She was left speechless and let out a bittersweet chuckle. “Mommy doesn’t lie. Just wait and see tomorrow. I will surprise you, I promise.”

In truth, her athletic abilities were far from impressive. Physical education had always been a struggle for her during school days. However, how challenging could the sports activities at the kindergarten be? She clung to a glimmer of confidence, hoping to prove herself.

Aiden paid no heed to her words, swiftly finishing his milk and urging her toward the bathroom. “All done. Let’s go take a bath!” Without waiting for her, he darted into the bathroom, his excitement palpable.
