The Lawyer’s Romance in Law novel Chapter 154

Chapter 154 Cat and Mouse

"Elias!" Simon roared angrily.

He had finally reached his last straw after losing to Elias time and time again. Why was he still being stopped by Elias even after his proposal was a success?

"Enough, Simon, don't do this in front of Aiden. You've already scared him that night." Amanda stopped him, her head aching at the thought of another fight breaking out between the two men.

What hurt Simon the most was Amanda's behavior—she was clearly favoring Elias. Was she still unable to forget him?

At that, she began to pull Elias away with her as a crowd had already begun to form.

Simon was about to chase after them when Lunabelle held him back. "Simon, I'm feeling a little unwell. Can you send me back home?"

As he was the cause of Lunabelle's depression, Simon had no choice but to give in. He couldn't just throw away his responsibility, after all.

…

Meanwhile, Amanda sat in the back seat with Aiden in her arms while Elias took the wheel. No one said a word throughout the entire journey, causing the atmosphere to turn frigid.

Amanda remained silent as she did not know what to say, while Elias was too lost in his thoughts to speak, wondering how he could make Simon fully give up. He couldn't stand Simon pestering his wife and son all the time. Besides, he hadn't been able to get Amanda back to his side yet, and this was a dangerous factor.

Upon returning to Northern No. 1, Amanda placed Aiden back in the bedroom and carefully covered him with a blanket. After leaving the room, she noticed that Elias was smoking a cigarette on the couch in the living room, giving a rough edge to his striking features.

This man did not seem like Aiden's father at all; if anything, he was more like his elder brother. Besides, he did not act like one either, and his temper was still as horrendous as before.

When he noticed her emerging from the bedroom, Elias immediately straightened his posture and put out the cigarette.

"Do you still have a fever? You should go back to your room and get some rest if you're tired," Amanda said.

However, Elias refused, "I'm not tired. Come here, let's have a talk."

As they were the only two people in the living room, the air was filled with tension yet awkward at the same time. After a moment of hesitation, she took a seat on the couch as well. "What do you want to talk about? If it's about our remarriage, then forget it. I really don't think there's any need for us to repeat the same mistakes."

He hadn't even had the chance to speak, but Amanda easily forced his words back into his chest with just a single sentence.

As Elias fell silent and stared at her for a long while, she raised an eyebrow slightly. "Go on, didn't you say you wanted to talk to me?"

"There's nothing for me to say anymore; you blocked off all of my chances."

Hearing that, Amanda couldn't help but let out a laugh. She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear as she asked, "I've never been able to understand why you want a remarriage so badly. You didn't like me back then, but do you like me now? Are you sure that you will spend the rest of your life with me if we get married again? Or, do you only want it because of our child?"

"I wanted to marry you again even before I knew about our child."

Amanda remained silent, realizing that he was right. Back then, although Elias was still unaware of Aiden's existence, he was still extremely determined to remarry her.

She couldn't figure out if his desire to take her back was just a moment of impulse or if he had come to terms with his own feelings. Had he really fallen for her? She couldn't bring herself to believe this fact at all.
