The Lawyer’s Romance in Law novel Chapter 148

Chapter 148 Is it Really Haunted?

Elias deliberately maintained a calm demeanor. “It’s nothing serious. Someone jumped off the rooftop of Building Five, and there have been rumors of supernatural events since then. However, I’m sure you don’t believe in those things, so there’s nothing to worry about.”

When Amanda heard that, she became speechless instantly. Why didn’t this jerk mention it earlier? If he had told me earlier, I would have found another place. Now that we’re already here and it’s getting dark, it’s too late for us to find another house. At the very least, we will have to stay here tonight. Why do I feel like I’ve been fooled?

She then cleared her throat. “As a lawyer, I don’t believe in those things. Supernatural events are just a product of people’s fears. Nonetheless, she was genuinely afraid of those things.

Meanwhile, Elias could see through her facade of pretending to be strong. A smile appeared at the corners of his mouth as he slowly stood up. “Well, I’ll be leaving now. Call me if you need anything. I’ll be working overtime at the office tonight, but I can come over within minutes.”

“Alright, thank you.” She found it strange that he didn’t insist on staying. Has he really changed? As she followed closely behind him, she saw him off at the door.

When Elias arrived at the door, he seemed to remember something all of a sudden, so he turned around and said, “By the way, there are fresh ingredients in the refrigerator. You should cook dinner for Aiden later instead of ordering takeout. They’re not hygienic.”

“I got it.” She nodded.

As he left the house and closed the door, Amanda felt a sense of relief.

She had been constantly moving houses during this period, and it had made her mentally exhausted. I hope we can stay here a little longer this time.

At that moment, Aiden, who had finished exploring the entire house, finally came out. “This place is fun. Mommy. Can we stay here forever?” His face was full of anticipation, for he also hated moving houses. It took him a long time to adapt each time.

Amanda plopped on the couch lazily and said, “Baby, what do you want for dinner? I’ll cook for you.”

“Hmm… I want spaghetti,” he replied after considering it seriously for a moment.

This little brat loves eating spaghetti. It’s something we have in common. She thought spaghetti was the simplest to make and easiest way to get full. “Okay, let me rest for a bit before making spaghetti for you.”

After that, Aiden picked up the remote control and turned on the TV, searching for an anime series to watch. “Mommy, is this Mr. Winters’ house?”

“Yes.” Suddenly, she thought about something and sat up. “Baby, are you not going to talk to Mr. Winters anymore? Even if his house has an amusement park and cars in the garage, do you not want to talk to him anymore?”

He nodded. “Mr. Winters is scary, I don’t want to talk to him. He’s so fierce!

For some reason, she felt a little happy deep down. If that’s the case, it will be difficult for Ehai to compete for custody, and my baby’s attention will solely be on me.

“Okay. Enjoy your anime. Don’t sit too close to the TV, alright? I will make some spaghetti for you now” She smiled as she got up and walked toward the kitchen.

Meanwhile, in a car downstairs, Elias was seated in the backseat, closing his eyes as if he were resting.

“Are we really going to do this, Mr. Winters? I’m afraid it will scare Miss Bailey and Aiden.” Yacob couldn’t help but speak up. Although Elias claimed it was to improve their father-son relationship, this plan seemed excessive.

“I can’t worry about that anymore. Have you taken care of everything I asked you to do?”

“It’s all been taken care of. Everything has been set up, and it will start once the switch is activated.” Yacob handed a tablet to the man in the backseat. Last night, he had already set up the house according to Elias” instructions, all for the purpose of staging a heroic rescue of Amanda and Aiden tonight.

After Elias took the tablet, he saw the live surveillance feed of everything happening inside the house. At that moment, Aiden was watching TV on the couch while Amanda prepared dinner in the kitchen.
