The Barrister's Love in Town

However, Lazarus said, “Are you drunk, Miss Bailey? You can ask your superior to take you

home. It’s dangerous for a pretty girl like you to be drunk at a place like this.

“It’s fine. I’m not drunk. I just slipped a little just now. I can go back on my own,” Amanda

hurriedly refused. She was trying her best to avoid Simon, not to mention that Lunabelle

was present as well.

Meanwhile, Elias was about to explode from anger. Is this idiot here to help or to cause

more trouble? How can he push Amanda to Simon’s side?

He shot a furious glare toward Lazarus, but Lazarus continued to force a gentle smile on

his face as he held onto Elias’ shoulder while saying to Amanda, “That’s good to know.

Well, Elias and I have some matters to attend to, so we’ll be heading over there. Let’s talk

later.”

“All right, please go ahead.” Amanda smiled lightly, watching as Lazarus forcibly dragged

Elias to at different place.

With a helpless shrug, she turned around and leaned on the balcony railing in an attempt

to sober up.

The

wine here was a little strong, but she was also at fault for drinking a little too much. She

planned to head home once she recovered, not wanting to remain at the banquet any

longer. The man named Lazarus was right about something-it was quite dangerous to be

drunk in a place like this as there was a risk that she might be taken advantage of

On the other hand, as soon as Lazarus pulled Elias into a corner, he shook off his hand

disdainfully.

“Didn’t you see that Amanda is drunk? Do you know how dangerous it is to be drunk in a

place like this? Even if it’s as a friend, what’s wrong with me taking her home?” Elias

growled, venting his anger on him.

However, Lazarus remained unfazed as he crossed his arms, patiently listening to him

rambling angrily. Then, he said languidly. Taking her home is fine, but it can’t be you who

does it. Did you see how she reacted when I suggested looking for Simon?”

Elias’ anger was immediately fueled at the mention of this topic. “Whose side are you

even on? I told you to help me pursue Amanda, so why are you pushing her to Simon’s

side?”

“Calm down and listen to me, all right? Did you see how she reacted when I told her to go

to Simon? She immediately refused.”

Elias scoffed coldly. “If she really went to him, I’ll skin you alive.”

Lazarus nudged him with his elbow. “Hey, didn’t you notice that Amanda is starting to be

bothered? Especially when you were talking to that hot chick earlier.”

Elias was confused-he had been focused on dismissing the woman earlier, and he didn’t

have the time to notice Amanda’s reaction.

“No, I didn’t.”

She was still as cold toward him as ever. If things went on like this, he was afraid that

Amanda would genuinely give up on him, and that would be the end of Lazarus’ life if

things really came to that point.

“Tch… Well, I did. When you were talking to that beauty, Amanda kept staring at you, and

her eyes looked bitter like she feels awkward and uncomfortable, you know? Do you know

what this means? This means that she still has feelings for you. As long as you interact

with other women, she’ll still feel bitter about it.”

Elias narrowed his eyes, shooting him a suspicious look. “Are you sure?”

Does this b*stard have X-rays for eyes? How can he tell what Amanda is thinking? Why

does it sound iffy?

“With my years of experience, you won’t go wrong from listening to me. You’ve already hit

a dead end now, so who will you listen to if not me? If you really want to tell what Amanda

is truly thinking, you have to provoke her. If you keep spending all your time around her,

how would she feel threatened? She would only hate you more and more, and your

journey to get her back will come to a standstill…”

As Elias listened to his spiel, he suddenly thought that Lazarus had a point and fell silent

for a short pause. “Then, how should I provoke her?”

A sly smile bloomed on Lazarus’ lips. “Do you know what women are most afraid of?”

“What?” Elias asked, genuinely clueless.

“A first love whom you can’t forget. Any woman would be stirred by this.”

Elias stared at him silently, not understanding a single word he had just uttered.

Seeing that, Lazarus laughed. “Look at your face. I knew you won’t even know what first

love is. How are you supposed to woo a woman like this? Better thank the heavens for

gracing you with such looks, or you’d be spending the rest of your life as a bachelor.”

“If you waste any more of my time. I will punch you in the face.”

“Okay, okay, I won’t tease you anymore. This is what I’m thinking-we’ll come up with a

first love for you to provoke Amanda, and she definitely will be angry. By then, you’ll know

if she cares about you or not,” Lazarus mused aloud as he rubbed his chin.

Elias’ face darkened. “Is this the sh*tty plan you came up with?”

Amanda was already thoroughly disappointed in him just from Grace’s existence. If he had

a first love now, he might even lose his visiting rights in the future.

“Just tell me if you’re brave enough. As long as you dare to do it, the results will definitely

be good. If you don’t want to listen to me, you can go back to where you started-you

chase while she rejects, and the two of you can continue that way for eternity. I won’t

waste my time on you.”

While Lazarus pulled a chair over and took a seat, Elias fell into a long silence.
