What a Heartwarming Sight
Elias replied, “I’m fine with it. It’s up to your mom.”
He passed on the question directly to Amanda, as if she would be a sinner if she were to refuse.
Aiden thus looked at Amanda with anticipation. “Mommy, is that okay? Can we let Uncle Elias sleep in
the same bed with us? That way, he can protect us at all times. Please!” he pleaded, not forgetting to
tug at his mother’s hand like a pampered child.
She was utterly speechless. This little brat spends every moment looking out for the interests of his
scumbag of a father. As expected of Elias’ own son! Seeing the faint smile curving the man’s lips, she
shot him a glare, chiding. “What are you smiling at? You intended this from the start, didn’t you?”
Elias replied with a mask of seriousness in an extremely shameless manner, “It’s Aiden who wants us
to sleep in the same bed. Did I say anything? And besides, it’s normal for a kid to be afraid, so we
should satisfy his demands.”
Amanda was lost for words for a while… “Alright, it’s okay if you’re not afraid that way.” She smiled at
Aiden. When she turned her gaze to Elias, however, her face wore a different expression, with eyes
that seemed to say. Look how I’m gonna kick you out of bed once Baby is asleep!
“Yay! Mommy, you’re amazing! Let’s go to sleep, then! I’m so sleepy, and I want to sleep in bed. It’s not
Comfortable sleeping on the couch, Aiden said, jumping from the couch to the rug before boldly trotting
toward the bedroom, as if he had nothing to fear anymore in the presence of Elias. Nevertheless, he
stopped at the bedroom door to look back at the man. “Come over here, Uncle Elias. You go in and lie
in bed first.”
Elias frowned at his timid demeanor. Is it even proper for a man to be so afraid of ghosts? Slowly, he
stood up and walked toward the boy.
Amanda had to admit that her frayed nerves had relaxed a lot since the man arrived. She felt as though
even if the sky came crashing down, Elias would be there to hold up the sky for her.
Elias walked into the bedroom. Seeing the boy stand at the door, he said, “Come on in, it’s okay.
Ghosts don’t exist in the world. I’m not afraid, and you don’t have to be afraid either, hmm?”
Aiden was still standing outside, seemingly frightened by the fluttering curtains. “Uncle Elias, can you
please lie down in bed? Please.” Still afraid to come in, he hid behind the door.
Elias felt rather helpless. Seems like I have to teach this kid a lesson to instill some ideas into him. How
is he gonna be a grown-up man in the future if he’s so afraid of ghosts? He had no choice but to lie
down first on one side of the bed in resignation before looking at Aiden. “Alright, come over now.”
Seeing that the man was lying in bed just fine, Aiden finally stepped into the bedroom in relief. Climbing
onto the soft and spongy bed, he burrowed under the covers and then shouted at Amanda, “Come over
here, Mommy! Lie down here. I’m not scared if you and Uncle Elias sleep on each side of me.”
“I got it!” Amanda reluctantly walked up to the bed and was pissed off to see Elias lying comfortably on
the other side. After lying down on Aiden’s left side, she pulled the covers off his head. “Alright, you’re
not afraid anymore now, are you? Just be good and go to sleep. Uncle Elias and I are here with you, so
no ghosts or demons can hurt you.”
Finding himself between Amanda and Elias, Aiden now felt extremely safe, and he closed his eyes
contentedly. “Mommy, I’m telling you, both of you are gonna stay here tonight. You two have to keep
staying with me like this… Or I’ll have a nightmare…” he said. Before he finished his sentence, he fell
asleep.
in an instant once again, his breathing even.
Seeing him fall asleep at once, Amanda smiled with amusement. What a little piglet who falls asleep as
soon as he wants to!
As she watched Aiden, Elias stared at her with a tender smile on his lips. This was probably the scene.
every man would dream of having in their life. Seeing his wife and son lying beside him, he thought it
was worth doing whatever it took for this to happen.
Sensing the man’s intense stare, Amanda looked up and happened to meet his pitch-black couldn’t
help but glare at him, whispering, “What are you looking at?! Come out now!”
eyes. She
She tried to get out of bed as she spoke, but Elias grabbed her before she could. For fear of waking the
child, he said under his breath, “Let’s wait a little longer. He’s not soundly asleep yet.”
Also fearing that Aiden wasn’t sleeping well, Amanda had no choice but to stay with him for a while
longer. After half an hour or so, she made sure that Aiden was in a deep, peaceful sleep. Only then did
the two adults get out of bed and leave the room.
After they entered the living room, Amanda could finally raise her voice. “I’m telling you; Aiden is only
so clingy to you because he feels a bit uncomfortable in a new environment tonight. Once he gets used
to it in a couple of days, he won’t even want to talk to you!” She couldn’t help but feel jealous at seeing
her son cling to Elias..
Elias let out a chuckle. “Have you gotten used to it now? Aren’t you the one who called me over?”
Amanda retorted, “I called you over? That’s because I thought it would take you a long time to go back
to the Winters Estate at this hour, plus this house is yours in the first place, so it’s better for you to stay
nearby for the night! And besides, it was your son who cried for you to keep him company, not me,
okay?!” She would never admit that she was the one who wanted him to come over because she was
also scared to death.
Elias asked, “Well then, where am I going to sleep tonight? If Aiden wakes up and finds that we aren’t
lying. next to him, he’ll probably cry with fright again. Are you sure you want him to get scared over and
over again?” In reality, he had his own intentions despite the seemingly justified excuse. He really
wanted to experience what it was like to have his wife and son sleeping next to him. It’ll probably feel
very reassuring, as if having the whole world to oneself.
Amanda frowned. He’s right. Baby’s psychologically vulnerable right now. If he gets scared again, he
might really get traumatized. “You go shower now, then. I’m telling you, you’re gonna sleep on Aiden’s
right side, while I’ll sleep on his left. You’re not allowed to do anything.” She fiercely pointed at the
man’s chest.
Elias smiled helplessly. “Do you think I’ll sink to that level? What can I do in front of our kid?”
Amanda turned around without saying another word and went to the closet to fetch pajamas for him.
This was his house in the first place, so there were plenty of men’s clothes in the closet.
A fond smile curved Elias’ lips as he watched her from behind. Well, it’s a long night, but I feel quite
happy. He took a quick shower in the bathroom before changing into his pajamas, ready to go back and
sleep next to his son. When he returned to the room, he found that Amanda was already lying asleep
next to the boy. What a heartwarming sight this is…
He slowed down and gently lay down on the other side, watching Amanda and their son’s sleeping
faces. for a long time… Then, he turned off the lights. As darkness enveloped the whole bedroom, he
slowly closed his eyes and wrapped his long arms around Aiden and Amanda, his lips curling into a
smile. Soon after that, he entered into a deep sleep.
