The Lawyer’s Romance in Law novel Chapter 155

Chapter 155 Almost Like a Changed Man

Upon seeing his look of fury, Lazarus slowly said, "Calm down and let me explain. There's a reason behind these things. How would someone who has never pursued a woman like you understand?"

This was the truth—Elias had never pursued any woman as they had always been the ones doing the chasing.

"Out with it already!" Elias growled, suppressing the ball of fire in his chest.

Lazarus poured himself a glass of wine, which he took a small sip from before slowly explaining, "Do you think there's any point in forcing her like this? Is she giving you the slightest chance? The more you chase after her, the more firmly she rejects you, right?"

Elias didn't reply. It seemed that that was indeed the case; either way, it was true that Amanda refused to give in.

Elias' silence told Lazarus that he had hit the nail on the head. Clearing his throat, he began to speak with the tone of a seasoned master. "That's why you should change your tactics in a time like this. Women are all the same; she'll get annoyed if you chase her too much, but she won't feel comfortable if you stop all of a sudden. If you still have a place in her heart, she might even pursue you instead."

"If I still have a place in her heart?" Elias repeated. "Four years ago, perhaps, but now… I don't know."

He had hurt her heart, and now he didn't have a clue if he still held a place in her heart.

Despite that, Lazarus said, "That makes things easy. If you had a place in her heart before, you definitely still do. She's just scared from the hurt you caused her and doesn't want to make the same mistake again."

Elias listened to his confident speech, unsure if he actually understood. However, at a time like this, he could only make do with what he had.

"Hurry up and tell me your plan. Stop beating around the bush and act like a man," Elias said disdainfully. He disliked Lazarus' ramblings the most; it would always take him ages to get to the point.

"Are you believing me at last? You have to hand it off to me when it comes to things like this. I definitely know women better than you. Let me tell you, women are all…" Lazarus began to boast.

Unable to bear with his antics anymore, Elias threatened, "Another word of nonsense from you and I'll pour this bottle of wine over your head."

"Look at that temper of yours. Do you think she'd dare to change her mind? What if you hurt her again?"

Elias let out an angry laugh. He was nearly losing his mind from frustration, but Lazarus had yet to get to the point.

He held his anger in and clenched his fists tightly, biting out through gritted teeth, "Are you going to f*cking tell me or not? If not, I'm leaving."

As soon as he finished, he stood up to leave when Lazarus suddenly held him back. "Okay, okay, I'll tell you. Why are you still so aggressive? I'll tell you my plan now…"

Elias' expression finally eased at his words. He returned to his seat to patiently listen to Lazarus' instructions, and he was so focused it was almost as if he was about to retrieve a pen and paper to start taking notes.

…

At the same time, back in Northern No. 1, Aiden's voice sounded.

"Mommy, I'm hungry."

Amanda was spacing out in the living room when Aiden suddenly woke up and left his room with a bleary-eyed look.

"Hungry? What do you want to eat? I'll make some for you."

She glanced outside the window and noticed that the sky had already turned dark. Aiden had been sleeping ever since they left the movie theater without eating anything, so it was about time for him to start getting hungry.

After a moment of heavy deliberation, Aiden finally declared, "I want to have noodles."

"Noodles again? Okay, I'll make some for you. Just play in the living room for a while."

"Okay."

Hence, Amanda headed to the kitchen alone and opened the fridge to retrieve some noodles and other ingredients, deciding to make a simple plate of spaghetti for dinner. However, she couldn't help but think of Elias, who had yet to return since he left, wondering if his fever had gone down yet.
