The Barrister's Love in Town

Inside the ward, Yacob walked up to the bedside and gazed at Elias, who was covered in

injuries. He sighed in resignation. “Elias, I know what’s on your mind and what you want to

do. So now, I’m stepping in to take care of things on your behalf. I hope I can come back,

and when I do, I hope you’ll be awake.”

He stood by the bedside and looked at Elias for a long time…

In New Montana, Esmos. Symcon, who had returned from the company, was surprised

when he heard the -butler’s report. “What? She slapped Amanda?”

The butler answered truthfully, “Yes, Miss Elizabeth went to find Miss Bailey first. They had

a conversation. Then, Miss Elizabeth suddenly slapped Miss Bailey, but Miss Bailey

retaliated and slapped her back twice.”

It sounded like a tongue twister, but Symeon surprisingly understood.

He chuckled. He didn’t ever expect Amanda to be so bold, daring enough to lay hands on

Elizabeth. It was true when they mentioned that those who knew nothing would fear

nothing.

“Where is Amanda?”

“Miss Bailey should be sitting in the garden now, and Mr. Aiden is playing there too.”

Symeon nodded and walked toward the garden.

Although no one dared to say it out loud, the butler could tell that his master’s attitude

towards this woman was somewhat different. Perhaps it was because of the child’s

existence, or maybe he had other feelings for her.

In the garden. Symeon spotted Amanda sitting comfortably under a parasol, savoring her

coffee. On the other hand, the little guy was squatting while digging the garden soil,

getting dirty with mud all over his clothes, like a little mud monkey.

There was a hint of disdain in the man’s gaze, but he couldn’t help but smile. After all, that

was just a child’s inherent nature.

As Amanda watched Aiden playing gleefully in the distance, she was lost in thought. How

could we escape from this place?

The security measures in this estate were very strict, making it almost impossible to leave

through. conventional means. She had to think of other ways.

Suddenly, the silhouette of a man slowly sat down beside her.

Amanda was startled and turned her head to look. It was Symeon.

“When did you come back? Why did you walk so quietly?” She frowned.

Symeon’s lips curled up. “I heard you slapped my fiancée twice today.

Tsk…

Amanda couldn’t help but narrow her pair of alluring eyes. So, he’s here to settle the score

with me, isn’t he?

She remained composed. “So what? I was just acting in self-defense. Even if she takes me

to court, I have valid reasons to explain my actions. I am innocent as long as you don’t

tamper with the surveillance here.”

Symeon furrowed his brows slightly. He realized that this woman seemed to have a deep

misunderstanding of him.

“What makes you think I will definitely stand on Elizabeth’s side?”

Amanda sneered, her voice unwavering. “Just because she is your fiancée.”

Symeon suddenly had nothing to say. Even if Elizabeth was his fiancée, it didn’t

necessarily mean he would stand on her side because he had no feelings for her.

He lounged in the chair and followed her gaze, looking at the cheerful little guy playing in

the distance.

Then, he slowly spoke, “If you were slapped, it’s only fair to slap back. Besides, I won’t

interfere in this matter because it’s between you two women.”

Amanda was quite surprised by his reaction. It seemed that the relationship between this

couple wasn’t as strong as she had assumed. Otherwise, how could this Lawrence have an

illegitimate child outside?

Tsk…

“You don’t seem to love your fiancée, but she’s devoted to you.”

Symeon laughed. “Just because she loves me, does that mean I must love her back? It’s

not an obligation.”

That was such a sc*mbag attitude. Amanda couldn’t be bothered to say anything.

However, she still had to find a way to leave this place. So, Amanda took the initiative to

broach the subject. “Can I explore the estate?”

After all, her situation was akin to being under house arrest as she couldn’t contact the

outside world or step outside the estate.

Symeon looked into her captivating eyes and murmured, “You can explore, but never think

about leaving. You can’t leave.”

Had she made her intentions that glaringly obvious?

She remained silent and lifted her coffee cup to her lips for a sip..

At this moment, Baby ran over, covered in dirt. “Mommy, play with me!”

Amanda looked disgusted at her son and yelled, “Don’t come over! Look at your hands!

They’re so dirty. Stay away!”

“No, I want Mommy.” Baby reached out his two muddy little paws and pounced toward

Amanda.

Amanda even jumped up and dodged backward, shouting like a child, “Aiden Bailey! I’m

warning you! Don’t rub your dirty hands on me or soil my clothes, or I’ll spank your butt.”

“Then, play with me, Mommy!” He playfully chased after her everywhere, giggling happily

as he saw her scared and hiding everywhere.

“No! I don’t want to play with mud. Stay away from me!

Meanwhile, Symeon watched this scene and, surprisingly, found it quite harmonious. He

also laughed along.

If this scene was legitimate, he seemed to understand the essence of the happiness those

people wanted.

His woman and child were playing under the sun. While he had been busy all day, coming

home to see such a heartwarming scene, his heart also relaxed.
