The Barrister's Love in Town

“Aiden is busy playing with Yacob. He doesn’t have time for you.”

The speechless Elias felt abandoned by this mother-son duo. He then asked, “I’ll be

discharged from the hospital tomorrow. Will you come pick me up?”

“I’m busy. Yacob can pick you up.”

“What are you busy with? Why don’t you have time? Your husband is getting discharged,

and why don’t you care at all?” Elias was nearly losing his temper. Amanda would retort

not matter what he said, making him extremely frustrated.

Amanda sneered, “Care? Do you need me to care? Didn’t a beauty send you to the

hospital? Let her pick you up from there as well. That’s how it should be, isn’t it?”

“Amanda!”

“People in the hospital shouldn’t get angry; it affects their recovery. I have nothing more

to say. I’m going to sleep now.” With that, she hung up the phone directly, not giving him.

any chance to vent.

She looked at the screen of her phone and imagined that Elias must be seething with

anger at the hospital right now. Well, let him be angry, that sc*mbag.

At Galaxy Bay, Symeon sat by the bed, holding an open children’s fairy tale book, and

awkwardly started reading the stories from it.

Dulcie obediently lay on the bed, staring at the man before her for a long time before

whispering, “Daddy, you don’t read as nicely as Miss Amanda.”

At that, Symeon stopped. He was not good at this, and of course, he couldn’t read as

nicely as

Amanda.

He didn’t even particularly like children much, finding them noisy and annoying.

“Do you still want me to continue reading?” he asked.

“Yes; otherwise, I can’t fall asleep.” Despite being genuinely afraid of her daddy, Dulcie

couldn’t sleep without hearing a story.

So, Symeon continued to narrate the romantic and beautiful fairy tales with his deep

voice. He didn’t know how long he had been reading, but eventually, he heard Dulcie’s

steady breathing.

He put down the storybook in his hand, tucked her in, and then left the room.

Just as he exited the room, the bodyguard approached him, “My master, what should we

do about Miss Casey? She refuses to acknowledge that she gave birth to a child, let alone

knowing you. It’s like she has amnesia.”

“However, according to the DNA test, she is Dulcie’s biological mother, and I am Dulcie’s.

biological father. She can’t escape that fact,” Symeon said with narrowed eyes. “This

woman is truly undeserving of being Dulcie’s mother. But she is, and what I don’t

understand is why she initially provoked me, gave birth to my child, and then abandoned

her. Did she do all of this just to get back at me?”

The bodyguard suggested, “Should I investigate Miss Casey’s experiences over the past

four years? Maybe she had an accident that caused her amnesia?”

“I’m not interested in any of that. Since she doesn’t want to admit it, I don’t want to force

her. Dulcie doesn’t need a heartless and unfeeling mother like her,” Symeon declared

firmly.

“Then…”

“Tomorrow, go and handle Dulcie’s enrollment procedures to let her attend kindergarten.”

“Yes.”

Symeon added, “The market in Cludan isn’t as easy to develop. I need to make a big

move, so you take good care of Dulcie. I don’t have much time to look after her.”

“Understood, my master.”

The next day, since the enrollment procedures would take at least two or three

days, Symeon could only bring the little one to the company today.

Dulcie didn’t want to stay home, let alone stay with the nanny.

Symeon locked her in his office and instructed her, “Stay here and don’t go out.

If you need something, just tell the secretary outside. You can play with the

toys here, but you must not touch anything on my desk, understand?”

She nodded obediently, “Understood.”

He reached out and patted her soft, furry head. “Good girl.”

After he left, Dulcie played in the office for about an hour but soon grew bored.

So, she ended up lying on the sofa and taking a short nap.

Today’s meeting was longer than usual, so Symeon wouldn’t return for another

two hours.

After waking up, Dulcie felt the need to use the restroom, so she opened the

office door and went to find the secretary.

However, she found that the secretary was not in the office area, and she

wandered through. the company.

As she passed by an employee, she asked sweetly, “Sir, where’s the restroom?”

“It’s over there,” the employee replied, thinking someone had brought a child

to work but didn’t inquire further.

After using the restroom, Dulcie got lost again and forgot where her daddy’s

office was located.

As a little child, she wandered around until she stumbled upon an open elevator

door. Without hesitation, she stepped inside and pressed a random floor button,

intending to exit the elevator and search for her daddy.

Eventually, when Dulcie exited the office building, the security guard noticed

her peculiar behavior, but he didn’t pay much attention.

When Symeon had brought her to the company, they had entered directly from

the underground parking lot, so the receptionist and security guard were

unaware of Symeon’s connection to Dulcie.

Outside the office building, Dulcie gazed at the bustling street in front of her,

feeling utterly confused. Overwhelmed with fear, she had the urge to burst into

tears.
