The Lawyer’s Romance in Law novel Chapter 144

Chapter 144 There Is Still a Long Road Ahead Before Elias Can Win Amanda’s Heart

Elias ignored her and followed Amanda.

Grace’s heart dropped when she saw Elias ignoring her. Do I really not stand a chance?

Jennifer looked at Grace suspiciously, still thinking about what Amanda had said.

“Why are you looking at me like that? Do you believe her too?” Tears fell from the corner of Grace’s eyes as she spoke.

“Impossible.” Jennifer quickly denied it. “You’re the only one I trust, Grace. I believe that you are the one who truly loves Elias. I will never believe that poor woman’s words.”

Hearing her words, Grace hugged Jennifer as she cried helplessly. “I love Elias so much, Mrs. Winters. I would never do anything to hurt him.”

Amanda sat in the backseat with Aiden while Elias drove the car. On their way home, none of them said anything, seemingly as if they were afraid of disturbing Aiden’s slumber.

Still, Amanda couldn’t help but ask, “You refused to listen to me when I told you that Grace was behind the accident. You even slapped me. Yet, why are you so calm now? Why didn’t you say anything?” She wondered if Elias truly believed her.

Elias looked at her through the rear mirror and said, “Although I don’t have solid evidence, Grace can’t be trusted either.”

Hearing his words, Amanda didn’t know what to say.

The duo stayed quiet as they drove back to Galaxy Bay. When they arrived, Elias exited the car and opened the door for Amanda. Then, he carried Aiden from Amanda’s arms. In that split second, Amanda thought as if they were still married; it was as if they had a happy life and a cute child.

Elias carried Aiden to the bedroom upstairs and put him to bed, covering the little one with a blanket before leaving the room.

Downstairs, Amanda had brewed him a cup of tea.

Elias sat on the couch and asked, “When will you be moving out? I have already prepared a new place for you. You can pay as much rent as you want. I don’t mind.” After all, he didn’t need the money, nor did he need it for a living. However, he knew Amanda wouldn’t leave if he gave her the place for free.

Amanda thought momentarily before saying. “In another two days, perhaps. I need to be at the court tomorrow, and I have a party to attend. Also, I need you to help take care of Aiden tomorrow.”

“You don’t have to ask. Aiden is also my son. It is my responsibility to take care of him,” Elias replied in a low voice. Although he also had to be at a party tomorrow, he wouldn’t mind taking Aiden with him. After all, he didn’t want to miss any more time with Aiden when he had already lost four years with his son.

Amanda said nothing more.

“I’ll ask someone to help you with your stuff when you move,” said Elias.

“It’s fine. There’s nothing much to take since I only have a suitcase with me.”

“I see… I’ll be leaving, then.” Elias stood up and acted as if he was about to leave.

Amanda stood up with him and said, “I’ll walk you to the door.”

Looking at her, Elias said nothing. How heartless of her. I’m worried about her and Aiden, yet she doesn’t seem to want me to stay.

Elias walked to the entrance and turned to look at Amanda. “Will you and the kid be safe tonight? Should I accompany you two?” he asked.

“You think too much. We are safer if there are only two of us. Hurry up and leave. Thank you for taking care of Aiden. Goodbye.” Amanda opened the door and gestured for him to leave.

Elias had a grim expression as he turned and exited.
