The Barrister's Love in Town

now? How long are you going to wait? When will I get a great-grandchild?” This time,

Amanda looked up and smiled before Elias could say anything. “Grandpa, your great-

grandchild will be coming soon.” Elias tensed up and looked at the woman beside him with

a cold, vicious gaze as if warning her, You’re dead if you dare to spout any nonsense!

However, she ignored him. Isn’t that woman pregnant? Grandpa will soon have a great-

grandchild that way. As for mine, I’m aborting it tomorrow. Ha. How ironic. “Really? You

guys have planned it? That’s great! I’ll get someone to create a name for my great-

grandbaby.” Howard was grinning from ear to ear. After dinner, Amanda and Elias left the

manor together, and he stopped to mock her once they were outside. “Don’t tell me

you’re going to get yourself pregnant so you can manipulate Grandpa into maintaining our

marriage.” She calmly replied, “I’m not.” “Then, why did you say those words to him?” He

narrowed his eyes. “Aren’t you going to tell him your lover is pregnant?” That rendered

Elias speechless as he thought Amanda would try something, but it turned out he was

overthinking things. After sneering, he retorted, “Of course, I’m going to tell Grandpa. I’ll

get my lawyer to bring the divorce papers to you tomorrow. I can give you any

compensation you want, including the villa you’re currently living in.” “I don’t want

anything from you. Please get everything done tomorrow morning. I have other things to

attend to.” Though she seemed calm on the surface, her heart was bleeding because she

had to visit the hospital for her abortion once she signed the papers. She could not help

but wonder how her life became like this. “Whatever,” he replied flatly and left. … The

next morning, Elias sent his lawyer to the villa to finalize his divorce with Amanda. The

lawyer handed her a divorce agreement to sign. “Mrs. Winters, just sign your name here.

Also, these properties, vehicles, and bank cards are compensations from Mr. Winters. He

said you may do whatever you want with them.” Without skimming them, Amanda readily

signed her name on the last page. “Please tell Elias I won’t accept these things. They’re

too dirty to my liking.” Stunned, the lawyer nodded. After seeing the lawyer out the door,

she packed her bags and took one last look at the villa she had lived in for a year. Her

traces were everywhere, and she was a little reluctant to leave. Perhaps, she would never

return here ever again. While she stood in the living room, she recalled the scene of Elias

and his lover and felt her stomach churn. Elias Winters, our relationship ends here.

Goodbye forever. … Amanda arrived at the hospital as scheduled and prepared for her

abortion procedure. “Amanda Bailey, it’s your turn. Come inside.” Hearing that, she was

startled and jumped to her feet. She touched her flat abdomen and felt guilty because she

was about to end a tiny life. While lying on the cold operation table, she heard the surgeon

coldly instruct her, “Get on the table, take off your pants, and spread your legs…” She

stiffly followed the doctor’s orders. Unsure whether she was hallucinating, Amanda

suddenly felt her abdomen move. But I’m only seven weeks in, so how can there be fetal

movement? Nah. I’m hallucinating. When she shut her eyes, the scenes of her past with

Elias uncontrollably appeared, filling her heart with hatred. Suddenly, she heard a cute

voice calling her, “Mommy!” Her eyes widened frantically, and she looked at the blinding

surgical lights as a thought emerged. Then, she shot up from the table and ran out of the

operating theater… … Four years later, at Imperia Airport. “Are you out? There’s not much

time left. We still have to meet with our client to discuss the details. This time, it’s a huge

client, so we’re gonna make a lot.” “Okay. I understand. Come and get me.” Amanda

donned a pair of black sunglasses that concealed most of her face, and she was pushing a

suitcase with a yawning child on top. The child was her son, Aiden Bailey. He was three

years old and resembled a certain sc*mbag the older he grew. “Mommy, I’m tired…”

“Aiden, I have to meet a client later, so I can’t send you home and have to bring you with

me. Be good, and I’ll get you something delicious after,” she cajoled the child like she was

coaxing a baby. However, the child rolled his eyes at her. “Come on, Mommy. I’m already

three. I can understand if you speak properly. What’s more, I have always been good.”

Speechless, Amanda sometimes felt that not only did her son look like that sc*mbag, but

he also inherited the sc*mbag’s personality. “Amanda! Over here!” Helean Connor, who

was responsible for picking her up, waved at them. The smiling lady walked toward him

with her luggage, which he then took and loaded into the car. “Let’s head over and talk

about the case with our client. They seemed quite anxious.” “Let’s go.” Half an hour later,

the car slowly stopped at the entrance of a skyscraper. “Aiden, you must stay close, or

else I’ll get angry and punish you!” Amanda exhorted the excitedly jumping child beside

her. “Okay, okay. You nag too much, Mommy.” The two then entered the building.

However, since it had been four years, she had no idea that the skyscraper before her was

the new location for Winters Enterprise. In other words, Elias was inside this skyscraper at

that moment. Helean went straight to the reception table and was greeted by a smiling

receptionist. “Welcome. Do you have a reservation?” “We do. It’s under Helean Connor

from Justice & Associates,” he informed her. It was only then that Amanda noticed the

stylish words behind the receptionist—Winters Enterprise! She instantly paled, and her

eyes filled with surprise as she turned to Helean. “So, our new client is Winters

Enterprise?” “Yep.” He was clueless as to how serious the matter was about to get. At that

point, she had an urge to wheel around and leave.
