The Barrister's Love in Town

romance on such occasions?” Elias had hoped Amanda would value the formality of it all,

but he was taken aback by her apparent disdain.

“I…” While she appreciated the sentiment, she couldn’t help but wonder if it was

necessary. After all, they were only remarrying.

As a result, his face remained stormy throughout the procedure, and the officers could

almost be forgiven

for thinking that she had coerced him into the marriage.

As they left the marriage office, a rare smile finally graced his once icy face as he glanced

down at the two marriage certificates. Elias decided to keep them both rather than give

one to Amanda, and he also chose not to tell her where they were hidden.

“Aren’t you going to give one to me?” She could not help but ask when she noticed him

promptly hiding the two certificates from her sight.

“I’ll keep them safe, he replied with a soft hum.

A hushed silence enveloped her as she gazed at him. Suddenly, a sense of being deceived

lingered in her mind. Eventually, she inquired, “What shall we do now?”

Then, his gaze shifted toward her, and he responded, Tll go to the hospital and check on

the DNA test result. Afterward, we can swiftly confront that demon and banish it.

Otherwise, you and Aiden might hesitate to venture beyond the doorstep, gripped by

fear.”

“Oh…”

In the meantime, Elias held the door ajar, patiently waiting for Amanda to enter the car

before turning to Yacob, “Send her back to pack up her things.”

“Pack up my things?” she asked, confused.

“Yes, tonight I’ll come by to take you and Aiden back home with me. After all, we’re legally

wedded now, and it only makes sense for us to live together,” he stated, presenting his

argument so logically that she found herself unable to protest.

Following that, he gently closed the door, and through the tinted glass, she observed him

conveying further instructions to Yacob. After a brief exchange, Yacob eventually returned

to the car.

As the car gradually drove away, Elias stood in quiet contemplation, his gaze fixed on the

receding vehicle.

Curious, Amanda inquired, “What did Elias say to you just now?”

Yacob couldn’t help but smile as he teased, “Do you truly want to know?”

“I do.” His tone of voice had deeply awakened her curiosity.

Then, he cleared his throat and stated, “Mr. Winters has entrusted me with the personal

supervision of your packing. Once you’re done, I’ll escort you and Aiden back to the

estate. Should the faintest hint of reluctance arise, I won’t hesitate to bring you back

forcefully.”

After hearing this, her lips twitched, leaving her momentarily speechless as she couldn’t

fathom what that foolish man, Elias, was thinking.

On the other hand, Elias kept a watchful eye as Yacob drove off with Amanda. Then, he

returned to his car and headed straight to the hospital.

The prospect of a straightforward DNA test banishing Symeon would have filled him with

ecstasy. However, given the pressing matters, he understood it wasn’t the right moment

to confront Symeon since. he still had not gotten his hands on Howard’s shares.

After arriving at the hospital, he made a beeline for Dr. Lenard’s office. He had gone to this

doctor for help. with the DNA test, hoping to avoid any needless delays.

In the meantime, Elias proceeded directly into the office and settled into a chair, patiently

awaiting Dr. Lenard’s return. A few minutes later, an elderly man with a head full of

striking white hair entered the room with a displeased expression.

“You’re here, Mr. Winters.”

“Is the DNA test done. Dr. Lenard?” Elias asked.

“Oh, um… Yes,” Dr. Lenard stammered, an odd glint in his eyes. He seemed uncertain, as

if unsure where to direct his gaze. Then, he walked over to his desk and retrieved a

document from the drawer, which he handed to him.

Before Elias could glance at the test report, the doctor promptly fabricated an excuse to

exit the room. “I apologize, but I have an urgent meeting to attend. Feel free to stay here

as long as you need,” he said before leaving.

“Very well.”

Just before leaving the room, Dr. Lenard glanced back at Elias, who was busy retrieving

the test report from the folder. It became difficult for him to continue staring at Elias’

carefree ignorance, so he quickly left the room.

Meanwhile, Elias opened the document and swiftly flipped through the test report until he

reached the last page. He had no doubt about his status as Aiden’s father, but he yearned

to see the confirmation. However, shock consumed him as his eyes fell upon the results,

causing his pupils to dilate in disbelief. Surprise and confusion painted his face, for the

report suggested the improbable – he was likely not Aiden’s father. It is not possible! How

could Aiden not be my son, given that the brat resembled me?

The situation was beyond complicated; it felt as if he had been struck by lightning. How

could something so impossible become possible? How could the DNA test claim I am not

Aiden’s father? How could Symeon be his father? Uncertainty and bewilderment

overwhelmed him, leaving him wondering what in the world was happening and how

everything had turned so complicated.

Suddenly, a loud crash resonated from outside the office.

“Aah! I’m so sorry, Miss! I didn’t mean to bump into you.”

Elias’ head snapped around at the sudden crash of a nurse’s tray hitting the floor.

Curiosity piqued, he hastened to the door and cautiously poked his head out of the room,

only to see a mysterious woman walking away.
