The Barrister's Love in Town

“Goodbye, and take care. I’ll go back to my room. I’m exhausted.” With that, Amanda got

up, preparing to see Elias and Simon off.

Elias and Simon left Galaxy Bay on their respective ride. Shortly afterward, both cars

gradually stopped on the road with their windows lowered.

Elias stared straight into Simon’s eyes as he threatened in a deep voice, “I’m warning you.

Stay away from my woman and child.

“Funny. I seem to recall that Amanda is no longer your woman. And as for your child, does

Aiden even know you are his biological father?” Simon said with a bland look, successfully

igniting Elias’ fury with his

words.

Elias clenched his fists tightly, cracking his knuckles. Then, he retorted through his teeth,

“Is stealing another man’s wife your fetish? Why are you so fond of stealing what belongs

to others?”

“Tch… As far as I know, you were the one who abandoned your wife and child back then.

Yet now, you speak as though you are innocent of the wrongdoings you have committed.

Get your facts straight! It’s Amanda who has struck you off her list of suitors. It’s pointless

to keep talking about this with me, no? You’re the one who wronged her, so own it.”

With that, Simon flashed Elias a contemptuous smile, started his car, and drove away.

Only Elias was left sitting in his car. Every muscle on his handsome face stiffened as his

mind kept replaying Simon’s parting words. He smacked the steering wheel, fuming mad.

This f*cking lowlife!

Meanwhile, inside the villa, Amanda came downstairs to pour herself a glass of water after

taking her shower and happened to bump into Selina, who was cleaning up the kitchen.

“Selina, why don’t you continue doing the chores tomorrow? It’s late, so get some rest.

Please don’t wear yourself out.” Amanda couldn’t help but say.

Selina raised her head and smiled when she saw Amanda. “I was thinking-since I will be

off for few days. I should complete more chores. By the way, have Mr. Nicholson and Mr.

Winters left yet?”

“Yeah. How else are we supposed to get our sleep when those two grown-up men stick

around and waste the rest of their evening here?” she grumbled softly.

Selina dropped the chores on her hands and walked up to her. Tell me the truth, Amanda.

Do you still have feelings for your ex-husband?”

Amanda, who was pouring the glass of water, paused for a moment. “Of course, I don’t.”

“Oh… As I see it, the three of you seem to get along quite harmoniously, though.”

“Harmonious? In what sense do you think we get along harmoniously? Elias hasn’t even

seen Aiden since he was born. Do you honestly think he will be a good father? If it were

you, would you leave Aiden with him unsupervised?” Amanda couldn’t restrain her

agitation at the mention of Elias and what happened tonight.

As for Selina, she gave Amanda’s words a thought. Then, she expressed her view, “Well…

from what I’ve seen tonight, he’s pretty patient when it comes to Aiden. Besides, Aiden

should have his biological father as his daddy if you want to find him one. After all, they

cre blood-related.”

Amanda was momentarily tongue-tied. It’s exactly because Aiden is Elias” kin that he

seems quick to accept Elias into his life. Otherwise, he is usually very wary of strangers.

Still, she snapped out of her thoughts and asked, “Selina, if it were you, would you still

choose to remarry your ex-husband even if he abandoned you and your child?”

Selina furrowed her brows and fell into a dilemma. This is pretty bothersome, indeed… Or

you can test your ex-husband before making a decision.”

“Do you not think that Simon is good husband material? He is highly conscientious and

never dodges his responsibility.” Amanda couldn’t help but ask for Selina’s opinion again.

Selina smiled and shook her head. “He does look like a perfect fit for a husband now. But

Mr. Nicholson

has never been married and never had a child of his own. So, you will face many

challenges if you want to start a family with him. For example-his parents. I think it’s

pretty hard to get his parents’ blessings. And knowing Mr. Nicholson, I presume he does

come from a well-off family. Am I right?”

Amanda also was aware that she would have to face many obstacles if she wanted to

marry Simon. Still, she really didn’t intend to return to Elias’ side and repeat the same

mistake she had made in the past.

Suddenly, Amanda’s phone rang. It was Simon calling. She picked up the phone, and

Simon’s voice sounded from the phone, saying, “Amanda, can you free some time from

your schedule tomorrow or the day after tomorrow and have a meal with my parents?

They would like to meet you.”

It’s true when they say worrying about things that might never happen increases their

chances of happening in reality. Selina and I were just touching on the topic regarding

Simon’s parents, and now Simon is calling, informing me that we are going to his parents.

No way! That’s too soon!! Amanda froze upon hearing his words. Then, she hesitated for a

few seconds and answered, “Uh… Is it not too soon to meet your parents now? I’m not

ready yet.”

“It’s fine. My parents are relatively open-minded. It’s just a simple meal. They are more

determined in urging me to get hitched.”

“Okay. I will leave you to make the arrangements.”

“Okay. Get some sleep. Goodnight.”

After she ended the call, she looked helpless. “What should I do? Simon’s parents want to

have a meal with. me. Now I’m nervous….”

Η

“There’s no need to be afraid since Mr. Nicholson will be there with you. Relax. His parents

won’t embarrass you on the spot. Selina disapproved of what Amanda said.

Selina is right. With Simon around, I have nothing to be afraid of. But it is going to be so

awkward. Amanda gave Selina’s words a thought.

“Stop thinking about it. Go and have your beauty sleep. That way you don’t have to worry

about looking bloated when you meet Mr. Nicholson’s parents, Selina said as she patted

Amanda on the shoulder, attempting to cease Amanda’s anxiety.

Amanda smiled and said nothing.

A white Aston Martin unexpectedly stopped in front of Amanda and Selina just when they

planned to drive Aiden to his kindergarten early morning the next day.

Aiden was the first to scream with excitement. He sneaked out of the car and exclaimed,

“Wow! It’s so cool! Mommy, look! This car is so cool!”

The door of the Aston Martin gradually swung open, revealing none other than Elias.

“Aiden, get in the car. I will take you to school today.”

“Hooray! Mr. Winters, this car is amazing! Do you have more cars in your garage? Can I

visit your garage?” Aiden bounced up and down with glee. He couldn’t wait to visit Elias’

garage and feast his eyes on all the

awesome rides.
