The Lawyer’s Romance in Law novel Chapter 118

Chapter 118 Unless You Kneel Down in Front of Me

Seeing that he said nothing, Amanda let out a sneer and turned toward the guest room. I’ll just take a shower, get changed, and get out of here as soon as possible.

While she was showering and getting changed, Elias stood outside the room, smoking one cigarette after another. In reality, he wasn’t entirely skeptical about what she said. He did seriously ponder if she was telling the truth.

The door opened with a click. Amanda came out of the room, having changed into clean clothes. “Thanks,” she said to him expressionlessly before walking to the elevator without even looking back. She didn’t want to stay here even for a second.

Catching up with her, the man suddenly said, “You couldn’t resist hitting Grace when you went to her that day. I can understand that.” After all, had it not been for Grace, Amanda wouldn’t have lost her baby for no reason back then.

Amanda replied, “No, you don’t understand. To this day, you still don’t understand why I hate Grace so much. But now, I don’t want your understanding anymore.” Standing before the elevator, she looked at the man next to her, who looked so much like Aiden. They’re truly father and son. She had to admit that the idea of reuniting Aiden with this guy had sprung up in her mind many times during this period, but now, she had abandoned this idea altogether. I’d better let Aiden grow up by my side. It goes without saying that he can enjoy a life of wealth and high society once he returns to the Winters Family, but countless women are eyeing the position of the wife of the future head of the Winters Family. It’s hard to imagine what they’ll do to Aiden in order to get this position, and besides, Elias can’t even tell when a woman is only pretending to be pure and innocent. This is too dangerous. I’ve brought Baby up well over the last four years; surely, I can raise him to adulthood in the future.

Elias replied, “In that case, you should tell me about it. How am I supposed to know if you’re not saying anything?” He was getting more and more puzzled as to what this woman was trying to say. She always spoke ambiguously, as though there was more to it than what she said.

The elevator door opened with a Ding! However, Amanda ignored the man completely and was about to get into the elevator.

Elias took her hand at once. He couldn’t help but say, “Stop going on blind dates, okay? You won’t fall for those men, so stop wasting your time. It’ll only make me fret, I know you’re sincerely trying to get on my nerves, and you’ve achieved your purpose. You don’t have to go on blind dates anymore.” Knowing that Amanda had gone on a blind date with a man, he felt so awful as though his heart were being gnawed at by thousands of ants.

Amanda’s voice was chilly, as if she didn’t give a damn about this guy. “You had no right to ask that of me before giving me that slap across the face, nor do you have the right to ask me after that. Please understand your present circumstances, Mr. Winters.”

Elias’ good-looking face turned sullen. He asked in a stern voice, “Amanda, what do you want so that you’ll give me a chance?” He honestly wanted to know what it would take to get her to open up and accept him. Right now, she chose to ignore him no matter what he did. She wouldn’t accept him at all, which put him at a loss for what to do.

Looking sideways at him, Amanda replied with a calm expression, “You want to know how?”

Elias waited for her answer, his eyes fixed on her fine features.

“Unless you kneel in front of me.”

Kneel down… A hint of shock flickered across Elias’ pitch-black eyes. He had never knelt down in front of anyone before-not even his own grandfather and father. And now, Amanda was asking him to kneel down before a woman…

Amanda removed his hand from hers and entered the elevator, upon which the elevator door slowly closed. Needless to say, she knew there was no way Elias could do so. How could a proud golden boy like him easily kneel down in front of a woman? Even if he were to be reduced to poverty, he probably wouldn’t kneel down in front of anyone either. That was exactly why she asked him to do such a thing that he couldn’t possibly do-to embarrass him and make things difficult for him so that he would give up. He’d rather be dead than kneel down in front of someone. She knew this man very well. There’s no way he can do it; he wouldn’t be caught dead doing that.
