The Lawyer’s Romance in Law novel Chapter 162

Chapter 162 My First Love?

Meanwhile, Amanda sat behind her desk in the office, studying some case files. Suddenly, the phone rang. She glanced at it and saw it was Elias calling. That's weird. Elias rarely calls me recently. Or, should I say he doesn't call me at all? So, why is he calling me out of the blue?

As the thought of her accidentally calling Elias last night made her feel exceedingly awkward, she hesitated for a few seconds before deciding to answer the phone. Instantly, Elias' deep and familiar voice sounded, "Are you busy?"

"Yeah. I'm at the law firm. What's wrong?" Amanda asked. Why do I feel somewhat nervous talking to Elias now? What the hell is wrong with me?

Elias cut to the chase and stated his purpose, "I will take Aiden to Universal Studios later in the afternoon, and I will send him back right after the trip."

"I thought you said you would go there with him after he completed the puzzle. It's not good to spoil Aiden like this. He will make it a habit in the future. He will think that you will say yes to any request of his as long as he butters you up—"

Elias abruptly interrupted Amanda before she could finish her sentence. "Aiden has completed the puzzle. Didn't you see it?"

What? Aiden has completed the puzzle!? Amanda was dumbfounded after she heard what Elias said. When did that little brat become so strong-willed? Usually, he would procrastinate whenever I asked him to tidy up his toys. Yet, he actually completed the puzzle in two days!

Amanda couldn't even find the words to describe what she was feeling right now. "Aiden can be very focused on completing his task if you grasp the right approach."

Frankly, she was at a loss for words. She didn't understand why she felt that Elias, who had never raised a child, was more experienced than her.

"Okay, then. You can take Aiden to Universal Studios, but don't get too carried away to the point of forgetting the time."

"I know, I know," Elias hummed.

Just when he seemed to be about to hang up the phone, she suddenly asked, "Are you surprised that I intend to accept the offer as a legal consultant?"

He was momentarily stunned upon hearing those words before replying, "It's fine if you don't want to accept the job offer. I won't force you to do anything you dislike again."

However, Amanda giggled, "That's exactly what makes me accept this job offer. Moreover, I need money to raise Aiden. Winters Enterprise won't be stingy with my annual salary, right?

"Of course. Still, you don't have to be worried about raising Aiden. I will take up my responsibility as his father."

To Elias, raising a child was no big deal at all. In fact, he could support countless orphanages if he wanted.

"I know. Then… remember to send Aiden home early this evening. Otherwise, he will sleep in again tomorrow morning."

"Okay," Elias hummed agreeably.

Beep! Beep!

After Amanda hung up the phone, she leaned on the swivel chair, her mind in utter mess. Why does it feel like Aiden is getting more and more used to spending time with Elias? If things continue at such a rate, Aiden likely will identify Elias as his biological father in no time. As for Elias, he is indeed gradually trying to win the little guy's favor.

…

Soon, the night fell. Amanda was ready to go home after a busy day at work. While she packed up her things, she wondered if Elias had taken Aiden home. That little brat has definitely enjoyed himself. I can already imagine him laughing his head off even though I'm not by his side.

After she was done, she grabbed her bag and left her office. Then, she walked toward the elevator and bumped into Simon again. She simply smiled slightly as she pressed the down button for the elevator.

Simon wanted to say something to her. However, he received another call from Lunabelle. It was as if she was persistently urging Simon to pick up her calls. Simon felt himself losing his temper as he answered, saying, "Can you stop urging me?! I got it, okay!? I got it! I'm coming over right now!!" He sounded slightly irritated.
