The Lawyer’s Romance in Law novel Chapter 137

Chapter 137 Humiliated 

Meanwhile…. 

In the Elegance Room, Amanda and Simon waited at the dining table for a long while, but Simon’s parents 

still hadn’t arrived. 

Amanda couldn’t help feeling a little nervous as she constantly picked up her cup to drink tea. 

“Don’t worry, my parents are quite easygoing. They’re the ones who wanted to dine with you, after all.” Of course, Simon noticed Amanda’s nervousness, 

“I know.” Amanda smiled awkwardly. 

Just then, the door to the private room was pushed open. A middle-aged couple walked in, and Amanda stood up without thinking. 

They must be Simon’s parents! 

“Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Nicholson. In her nervousness, Amanda accidentally knocked over the cup in front of her. As the tea spilled onto her clothes, the awkwardness she felt skyrocketed. 

Amanda’s face was burning. She wished she could just disappear. 

Simon, however, was calm as he got some tissues and wiped the mess for her, saying, “Look how nervous you are! Relax, my parents aren’t monsters” 

Simon’s parents couldn’t help chuckling when they saw the scene. 

Tm so sorry, Mr. and Mrs. Nicholson. I was too nervous.” Amanda hastily took the tissues from Simon and wiped herself dry. 

“You don’t have to be so nervous, Miss Bailey. Have a seat. We’re just going to eat. Simon’s father, Frederick Nicholson, spoke up to case the atmosphere. 

Amanda sat on the chair, smiling stiffly. She looked subconsciously at Simon beside her. 

Simon made the introductions. “Dad, Mom, this is Amanda Bailey, my girlfriend. She’s also an outstanding lawyer.” 

With that, he turned to Amanda. “Amanda, meet my mom and dad. They’re lawyers too.” 

Ah! So, they’re both in the legal field. No wonder Simon’s parents look so stern, yet elegant as well. 

“Hi, Mr. and Mrs. Nicholson.” Amanda smiled as she greeted them again. 

Frederick looked at the time. “It’s getting late, so everyone’s probably hungry. Let’s call the waiter here to take our orders.” 

Just then, the waiter came in with two menus. Unbeknownst to them, Elias’ pranks were already underway. 

Frederick flipped through the menu, then ordered a fish dish for a start. The waiter, however, replied with a troubled look, I’m sorry, but it’s not available.” 

“What?” Frederick was slightly surprised. They frequented this restaurant, and they knew that any guests. who made reservations could order whatever dishes they wanted. 

Amanda felt even more awkward, so she focused on drinking even more tea. 

Simon ordered another dish. “We’ll take a steamed grouper, then.” 

The waiter said, “I’m sorry, sir, but we’re out of groupers too. We received more reservations than usual today, so- 

“More reservations than usual? Are you kidding me? Red House only accepts reservations for 15 tables every day, and I reserved the seventh one. What do you mean, you’re out of ingredients?” 

Simon felt that something was off, so he stood up and said to his parents, “Dad, Mom, stay put. I’ll talk to the manager and see what’s up.” 

“Go ahead.” 

“I’m going too.” Amanda didn’t want to be alone with Simon’s parents, for she didn’t know what to talk about. 

She had just stood up when Simon’s mother, Isabelle Thompson, said, “You should wait here instead of running around with him; the weather is so hot today. Or are you scared that we might eat you up?” 

Amanda smiled awkwardly. “No, that’s not it.” 

“Stay here with my parents. I’ll be right back.” Simon stood up and left the private room. 

Amanda was left alone with Simon’s parents in the private room, and the atmosphere turned extremely awkward. 

“Have some tea, Mr. and Mrs. Nicholson.” Amanda kept pouring tea for the two. 

Meanwhile… 

Elias sat in another private room, listening to all the goings on via the listening-in device attached to the waiter. He couldn’t help but put on a wry smile. 

Aiden was enjoying himself, playing games on Elias” phone. 

Elias swore that he would ruin Amanda’s relationship with Simon. 

He poured out a cup of tea and swirled it in his hand, muttering, “Count yourself unlucky to have run into 

me.” 

It was Simon’s fault for picking this restaurant out of all the restaurants in the area. 

However, the next conversation Elias heard through the listening-in device made him clench his fists, for Amanda was being bullied. 

In the private room, before the waiter left, he hid the listening-in device behind a vase on purpose. 

Isabelle studied Amanda for a while, then said, “I heard that you got divorced and even had a child, Miss. Bailey.” 

In an instant, the atmosphere in the private room turned cold. 

Amanda’s smile froze on her lips. She knew that she would face this situation, but she didn’t expect Isabelle to be so straightforward about it. 

“Yes…”
