The butler saw Amanda off. He followed her until both of them stopped in front of her car.

“Miss Bailey, you should come to visit Mr. Winters when you’re free. He needs some company.”

He could tell Amanda was the only person to make Elias talk.

“All he needs to do for the time being is recover. He should stop running around. I’ve seen the weatherforecast. It’ll continue to rain these few days.”

She then opened the door to get into the car.

The man couldn’t help but sigh. “Mr. Winters cooked for you on his birthday. He was going to pick youup to celebrate his birthday. Who would’ve known it would end up in an accident…”

If everything went smoothly that day, Elias could’ve brought Amanda back to the manor for his birthdaycelebration. Furthermore, it would also break the ice between Elias and Amanda.

The words took Amanda aback. “Since when did he learn to cook? I never once saw him do so.”

The butler had many stories to share with her. “That’s right. Mr. Winters never cooked, but he had adifferent idea in mind during his birthday. He woke up early and sought advice from the chef at home.He whipped up a feast with the chef’s help, but he cut his fingers many times in the process. I’ve neverseen him being that serious about something.”

Amanda burst into laughter after hearing the story.

Elias, of all people, cooked? After learning the story from the butler, she felt a pang of sadness withinher. Elias had long since abandoned celebrating his birthday. Just when he finally made up his mind tomove on, his life gave him something bad in return. I need to replace the truth, or else he’ll see it as karma.The thought will traumatize him and he will be strongly against the thought of celebrating his birthdayfor the rest of his life.

The butler sighed one more time. I guess Mr. Winters would never want to celebrate his birthday afterthis. It’s never a pleasant thought for him. After all, his father passed away on the same day.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll fix everything. He could have a normal birthday from next year on A hint ofdetermination was shown in Amanda’s tone. After that, she closed the door.

Even though the man had no idea what she was talking about, her determined look convinced.

“What is it, Mr. Winters?”

“Get me the staff list for the dinner I had in Flimwood four years ago, including those who hadresigned.”

“All right, Mr. Winters.”

Even though Yacob didn’t understand the reason for Elias’ attention to the dinner four years ago, he didas told. After all, I’m just a bodyguard. It’s not my place to intervene in my higher-up’s business.

The door shut with a thud, leaving Elias alone in the room in silence.

Looking out of the window, he allowed his eyes to land on where Amanda parked her car earlier. Hisfathomless eyes gave off nothing.

He was determined to replace out what happened during the dinner no matter what.

Little did he know, he was biased toward believing Amanda’s words.

Amanda returned home to replace Selina accompanying Aiden in building toy blocks.

She had to admit that Selina’s presence eased her burdens and allowed her more time to focus on herwork.

“Mommy, look at this! Miss Selina made me a Superman with the blocks!” Aiden shot her a joyful smileupon seeing her.

Amanda approached them with a smile mirroring his. That’s amazing! You can count on Miss Yalemanfor a good time. She has a lot of tricks up her sleeves.”

Humming a response, the boy nodded his head vigorously. A few exchanges later, the toy blocks onceagain caught his attention.

“Did

you have dinner?” Selina asked. “I can heat the leftovers for you. Aiden and I ate earlier. He had quitethe appetite tonight. Do you know he finished the meal on his own?”

“He must really like your cooking. He never finishes his meal when I’m the cook The statementsurprised Amanda. The little brat finished his meal? That’s new.

“I just made some simple food. Nothing too fancy. I’ll heat them for you.” Selina stood and walkedtoward the kitchen.

Amanda shot her a grateful smile. “Thank you. I’ll go and change in the bedroom.

After that, Amanda went into the bedroom and changed into something casual. Then, she took out thelistening device and studied it. How am I supposed to stick it to Grace’s phone? Even though it’s

not easy to spot it, I need to replace a way to stick it to her phone in the first place.

Just when she was brainstorming for a solution, her phone rang.

She glanced at the screen. It was an anonymous number. After a moment of hesitation, she answeredher phone, “Hello?”

“It’s Grace here. Are you free to meet up tomorrow? I’ve got something to tell you.”

Amanda’s eyes widened in surprise as she thought of something. Perfect timing! Just when I’mworrying about replaceing a way to put the device on her phone. It’s like the opportunity is handed to meon a silver platter. I don’t know the reason, but I’m glad she suggested meeting up.

Even so, Amanda pretended to be annoyed. “Is it something important? I’m busy with work these days.There are a lot of cases to deal with.”

“It won’t take you long. We can meet up after work tomorrow. It’ll only take about thirty minutes.” Graceremained calm on the phone.

Amanda eventually agreed with her. “Fine. See you tomorrow.”

After that, she hung up her phone. It’s a good thing she made it easy for me, but something’s not right.What does she want to tell me?

Meanwhile, Grace stared at the dark screen of her phone after the call ended. She was looking forwardto discovering something during the meeting with Amanda tomorrow.

She had a feeling that Amanda knew something from their conversation in the cafe earlier that day. Ineed to bait her into giving me the information tomorrow. I need to know how much she knows,Besides, there’s another question. Why didn’t she tell Elias about their child?

The second day was a busy day for Amanda. At night, Grace called her as soon as she finished

work.

Grace proposed to meet up with Amanda at Brownie Cafe, where they ran into each other yesterday.

The server brought Amanda to a private room once she arrived at the cafe.

She chose a private room. What kind of secret is she going to tell me?

Amanda pushed the door open and walked inside, Grace was taking a sip of her coffee as she glancedin Amanda’s direction. “Take a seat, Amanda.”

Amanda took a seat on the couch opposite Grace before turning to the server. “One coffee, please.”

Sqon, the server served her order and closed the door for them.

It was a soundproof room. Their conversation would remain a secret to the guests outside sincenobody could hear them.

Seeing no point in beating around the bush, Amanda cut to the chase. “Be honest, what are you onabout? It’s not like we’re friends who can hang out after work.”

“That’s right. I sought you for some clarification. You have the answers to them. Grace studiedAmanda’s expression meticulously.
