“No can do. You didn’t wash your hair yesterday, so you have to wash it today. You need to

Standing in the bathtub, Aiden constantly dodged the showerhead in his mother’s hand as he refused to

wash his hair.

However, Amanda was determined to wash the little brat’s hair tonight

Last night, the boy got away when he started acting cute with her. It’s not going to work even if he tres again tonight!

“Baby, be good and come over here. We’ll watch cartoons after washing your hair, alright?”

However, Aiden’s face was dripping with disdain when Amanda started her tactics of persu

This little brat has really grown up. It’s getting harder and harder to deceive him, she mused before stating. Tm serious this time. I absolutely won’t trick you! Come here!”

She quickly pulled the child in front of her and swiftly aimed the showerhead at his small head. Amid Aiden’s screams, she eventually finished washing his hair.

She wrapped the boy in a towel and carried him back to the bed in the bedroom

She was just about to tell him a bedtime story but just as she turned around to get a storybook, she found that the little bundle on the bed had already obediently fallen sound asleep when she looked back. His small lips were slightly parted as he slept with his limbs sprawled.

She couldn’t help smiling at the sight of his posture.

After she tucked him in, she turned off the bedside lamp and left the bedroom.

Amanda then returned to her bedroom to take a shower and go to sleep. This had been an exhausting day

for her.

Her phone suddenly rang. She glanced at it and saw that it was a call from Elias Has he decided to be annoying after all? Is this what he thinks he should do when pursuing a two

Instead of answering the call, she put her phone on silent and went to the bathroom to take a shower. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

Half an hour later, she walked out of the bathroom in a bathrobe, wiping her hair while glancing at her phone.

To her surprise, she saw seven or eight missed calls-all of which were from Elias-on the screen.

Is it an emergency? She wondered as she picked up her phone.

Right when she was hesitating whether to return his call, she unexpectedly received another call from

Elias.

She answered the phone and held it to her car. “Why are you calling me so late at night when you should be sleeping?”

A deep and hoarse voice came from the other end of the line. “I just wanted to hear your voice.” The man sounded like he was intoxicated.

Does he really have to be so cheesy? she quietly wondered before asking. “Mr. Elias Winters, is this how you date? Do you really think this is how you should date?”

“Why don’t you teach me, then? I haven’t had much experience with women.”

Amanda let out a snicker. “Are you kidding me? You’ve never been in a relationship, you say? There are rumors all over about your romantic escapades.”

That’s why they call them rumors.”

“I don’t want to waste my time arguing with you. It’s been a long day. I’m tired and I want to sleep.”

After saying that, Amanda was about to hang up the phone when Elias stopped her. “Don’t hang up. There is something I want to tell you.”

“What is it?”

“My birthday is on the day after tomorrow. Will you celebrate it with me?”

Birthday?

Elias’ birthday was like a nightmare for Amanda.

She still remembered how she wanted to surprise him with a birthday surprise and made him a birthday cake four years ago.

However, when she presented the cake to Elias, he became so furious that he smashed the cake on the ground and warned her never to celebrate his birthday again.

Amanda started crying out of shock then. She had no idea what was going on.

And now Elias has the audacity to bring up his birthday? What a sc*mbag’

“Are you seriously bringing up your birthday? Have you forgotten how you destroyed my cake four years ago? You warned me never to celebrate your birthday again. Have you forgotten all about it? I’ll have you know that it’s etched in my memory.

Whenever she thought of that scene, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of humiliation. She couldn’t understand why Elias hated her so much.

The man on the phone remained silent for a long, long time.

After what felt like an eternity, Elias replied slowly, “I’m sorry…

Amanda was somewhat surprised when she received the unexpected apology from the man. Not only that, it sounded sincere too.

Is this the same Elias who is arrogant and never thinks he is in the wrong?

“Am I allowed to reject your apology?” She believed that the Elias from back then didn’t like her at all, or he wouldn’t have treated her so badly.

“Of course, you have the right to do that. Still, I want to spend the day after tomorrow with you. I’ll pick you up. It will only take two hours of your evening.”

After saying that, he hung up the phone without giving her a chance to refuse.

Amanda looked at the disconnected call and found it somewhat ridiculous.

This jerk claims he wants to fir his terrible temper and yet, he is still as domineering and forceful as ever.

It seemed that a leopard couldn’t change its spots.

Two days later, Amanda had a full schedule for the day. It was already 7.00PM after she had her meeting.

Since she had completely forgotten that it was Elias’ birthday, she drove back to Galaxy Bay, intending to

make dinner for Aiden

At around 8.00PM, lightning started flashing outside before there was a downpour.

“Mommy, it’s thundering. I’m scared…”

Aiden quickly nestled in her arms and held her tight.

“Don’t be afraid, sweetheart. It’s just thunder. I will go and close the windows.”

Amanda then got up to shut the windows. As she took a glance at the raindrops as big as beans outside, she muttered, “Why is it suddenly raining so heavily..

“Go play with Mr. Bodyguard in the living room. I’m almost done preparing dinner.”

Amanda glanced at the bodyguard who had indeed been dutifully taking care of the child these days. However, she still needed to get new bodyguards and nannies as soon as possible.

“Aye!” Aiden wiggled his bottom and ran to the living room.

At that moment, Amanda’s phone rang right when she was about to serve the food and have dinner.

Looking at the unfamiliar number on her phone, the puzzled woman answered the call. “Who is this?”

“Miss Bailey, this is Boris Jones speaking. I wanted to ask if Mr. Winters is with you. He whipped up a feast and said he wanted to pick you up for his birthday. However, he’s been gone for a long time and I can’t

reach him on his phone.”

It turned out to be a call from the butler at Winters Estate.

The birthday!

Amanda had completely forgotten about his birthday, Elias, too, hadn’t come to find her or called her.

“No, he hasn’t come to see me and he didn’t call me either. He probably went to celebrate his birthday with his friends, no?”

“I don’t think so. Mr. Winters has never cooked before. He spent the whole afternoon with the chef today, and then he went to personally pick you up for his birthday. But now we can’t reach him and it’s raining so heavily. I’m a bit worried…

The butler’s concern was not unfounded, since driving in heavy rain like this could be especially dangerous.

“I’ll try calling him.”

“Alright. Thank you, Miss Bailey. Mr. Winters was in a good mood before he left today, and he seemed like he really looked forward to you tasting his cooking. That’s why I’m afraid something might have happened to him, now that we can’t get in touch with him.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll try to call him.”

After hanging up the phone, Amanda couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease.
