Chapter 417 Symeon’s Slowly Falling In

The dawn broke.

Rosie was still stationed outside, almost dozing off and falling to the ground.

She stood up and stretched with a yawn. Suddenly, the door to the ward swung open. Yacob walked out with his men, wearing a cold expression.

Rosie didn’t attempt to initiate a conversation with him because she knew he wouldn’t respond to her. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Yet, she wondered, What were these people plotting inside the ward?

Rosie furrowed her brows as she closely observed them.

Yacob glanced at the woman standing outside the door, then looked at his subordinates and said, “Go back and get ready. The flight leaves tonight. See you at the airport.”

“Understood.”

Thus, the four of them turned around and departed.

After hearing Yacob’s words, Rosie couldn’t help but ask, “Where are you all headed? With Eli in this state, are you sure you want to leave? Can’t you wait for him to wake up?”

“It will be too late if we wait for him to wake up,” Yacob replied.

She didn’t quite understand the meaning behind his words because she knew nothing of the situation.

“What do you mean by that?”

“You don’t need to understand what I mean, but you should know this-even if I’m not here, you won’t be able to get inside. I will have someone guarding this place 24 hours a day, and no one will be able to enter.” After saying that, Yacob turned and went back into the ward.

Rosie clenched her fists in anger, but she could do nothing.

Inside the ward, Yacob walked up to the bedside and gazed at Elias, who was covered in injuries. He sighed in resignation. “Elias, I know what’s on your mind and what you want to do. So now, I’m stepping in to take care of things on your behalf. I hope I can come back, and when I do, I hope you’ll be awake.”

He stood by the bedside and looked at Elias for a long time…

In New Montana, Esmos. Symcon, who had returned from the company, was surprised when he heard the -butler’s report. “What? She slapped Amanda?”

The butler answered truthfully, “Yes, Miss Elizabeth went to find Miss Bailey first. They had a conversation. Then, Miss Elizabeth suddenly slapped Miss Bailey, but Miss Bailey retaliated and slapped her back twice.”

It sounded like a tongue twister, but Symeon surprisingly understood.

He chuckled. He didn’t ever expect Amanda to be so bold, daring enough to lay hands on Elizabeth. It was true when they mentioned that those who knew nothing would fear nothing.

“Where is Amanda?”

“Miss Bailey should be sitting in the garden now, and Mr. Aiden is playing there too.”

Symeon nodded and walked toward the garden.

Although no one dared to say it out loud, the butler could tell that his master’s attitude towards this woman was somewhat different. Perhaps it was because of the child’s existence, or maybe he had other feelings for her.

In the garden. Symeon spotted Amanda sitting comfortably under a parasol, savoring her coffee. On the other hand, the little guy was squatting while digging the garden soil, getting dirty with mud all over his clothes, like a little mud monkey.

There was a hint of disdain in the man’s gaze, but he couldn’t help but smile. After all, that was just a child’s inherent nature.

As Amanda watched Aiden playing gleefully in the distance, she was lost in thought. How could we escape from this place?

The security measures in this estate were very strict, making it almost impossible to leave through. conventional means. She had to think of other ways.

Suddenly, the silhouette of a man slowly sat down beside her.

Amanda was startled and turned her head to look. It was Symeon.

“When did you come back? Why did you walk so quietly?” She frowned.

Symeon’s lips curled up. “I heard you slapped my fiancée twice today.

Tsk…

Amanda couldn’t help but narrow her pair of alluring eyes. So, he’s here to settle the score with me, isn’t he?

She remained composed. “So what? I was just acting in self-defense. Even if she takes me to court, I have valid reasons to explain my actions. I am innocent as long as you don’t tamper with the surveillance here.”

Symeon furrowed his brows slightly. He realized that this woman seemed to have a deep misunderstanding of him.

“What makes you think I will definitely stand on Elizabeth’s side?”

Amanda sneered, her voice unwavering. “Just because she is your fiancée.”

Symeon suddenly had nothing to say. Even if Elizabeth was his fiancée, it didn’t necessarily mean he would stand on her side because he had no feelings for her.

He lounged in the chair and followed her gaze, looking at the cheerful little guy playing in the distance.

Then, he slowly spoke, “If you were slapped, it’s only fair to slap back. Besides, I won’t interfere in this matter because it’s between you two women.”

Amanda was quite surprised by his reaction. It seemed that the relationship between this couple wasn’t as strong as she had assumed. Otherwise, how could this Lawrence have an illegitimate child outside?

Tsk…

“You don’t seem to love your fiancée, but she’s devoted to you.”

Symeon laughed. “Just because she loves me, does that mean I must love her back? It’s not an obligation.”

That was such a sc*mbag attitude. Amanda couldn’t be bothered to say anything.

However, she still had to find a way to leave this place. So, Amanda took the initiative to broach the subject. “Can I explore the estate?”

After all, her situation was akin to being under house arrest as she couldn’t contact the outside world or step outside the estate.

Symeon looked into her captivating eyes and murmured, “You can explore, but never think about leaving. You can’t leave.”

Had she made her intentions that glaringly obvious?

She remained silent and lifted her coffee cup to her lips for a sip..

At this moment, Baby ran over, covered in dirt. “Mommy, play with me!”

Amanda looked disgusted at her son and yelled, “Don’t come over! Look at your hands! They’re so dirty. Stay away!”

“No, I want Mommy.” Baby reached out his two muddy little paws and pounced toward Amanda.

Amanda even jumped up and dodged backward, shouting like a child, “Aiden Bailey! I’m warning you! Don’t rub your dirty hands on me or soil my clothes, or I’ll spank your butt.”

“Then, play with me, Mommy!” He playfully chased after her everywhere, giggling happily as he saw her scared and hiding everywhere.

“No! I don’t want to play with mud. Stay away from me!

Meanwhile, Symeon watched this scene and, surprisingly, found it quite harmonious. He also laughed along.

If this scene was legitimate, he seemed to understand the essence of the happiness those people wanted.

His woman and child were playing under the sun. While he had been busy all day, coming home to see such a heartwarming scene, his heart also relaxed.
