The Lawyer’s Romance in Law novel Chapter 163

Chapter 163 Her Curiosity

First love? Amanda's hand paused mid-air while she was eating when she heard the words. Elias' first love? Her head twirled over unwittingly as her curiosity got the better of her.

Elias had a puzzled look on his face as he retorted, "When did I—"

Halfway through his sentence, something popped up in his mind. Is this the character Lazarus has made up for me just to make Amanda jealous? He stole a look at Amanda at the dining table, and she seemed rather curious, too. As he had already handed his path to win back his wife into Lazarus' hands, he had to follow through with his plans.

After a few seconds of hesitation, he said to Boris, "Tell her to wait for me at home. I'll be back later." Then, he hung up and continued eating at the table.

However, the atmosphere had turned even weirder, and Amanda couldn't take another bite of food anymore because her mind was filled with his call earlier. Does he have a first love? The whole time, she thought that his first love was Grace, but that didn't seem to be the case now.

On the other hand, he already told her a long time ago that he didn't love Grace and never did. All he had for her was that damned sense of responsibility. Is his first love someone else? From the way he instructed his butler, it looked like he knew who it was, she thought, her curiosity growing with every passing second.

She took another bite of food as she sneaked a look at his face and broke the silence at the dining table. "Your… first love is here to look for you?" He raised his head at her, and she added with a laugh, "Don't get me wrong. I'm just curious because I thought that Grace is your first love but it seems I've gotten it wrong. How old were you when you had your first love? Did it happen abroad?"

She remembered that he had studied abroad for years. Did his first love occur abroad? Her heart fell to the bottom of her stomach at the thought of this. The food in her mouth turned tasteless and was even a little bitter.

In the meantime, Elias recalled Lazarus' guess, which was not far off from the truth. Lazarus had told him that Amanda would be curious about his first love and how he should answer if she asked about it so that he could make her jealous.

Even though he had scoffed at it, he couldn't stop himself from giving it a try to test out her reaction. So, he placed his cutlery down and said in his husky voice, "I've told you before that I don't love Grace and merely felt indebted to her. As for my first love, it's already in the past and there's no point mentioning it now. I was young and impulsive."

His answer took her by surprise. Generally, women would like to know what the object of a man's impulses looked like when he was young. What kind of person she was and what was it about her that made him fall madly in love with her? The relationship one had when one was young was the sincerest and the purest, and she was a little curious about what kind of girl Elias liked when he was young. He was probably an attention-catching senior in school when he was young, and there were probably a lot of girls who liked him…

Thus, she pretended to relish the dish in front of her as she tried to ask nonchalantly, "Do you still like the same type of girl as you did when you were young? Did your taste change? You probably had a preference for fresh-faced girls when you were young, didn't you? Or did you prefer sweet girls? Or maybe a cool, aloof girl?" Again, she couldn't stop herself from bombarding him with questions, and immediately after, regret washed over her. I've already cut off all ties with him and also rejected his proposal. Why do I still care about what kind of girl he liked when he was young? Do I have nothing else on my mind?

Nevertheless, her curiosity would only grow if she didn't find out about this, and even though she was aware that she shouldn't care about any of this, she still wanted to know.

Elias could read the curiosity on her face and thought, Who would have thought that Lazarus' tactic is working? A mischievous thought started to sprout in his mind as he began making up stories. "I don't know how I should describe it. Maybe a fresh-faced girl, but with a proud personality. I was young and ignorant, so I didn't have that many requirements when it came to the first girl I fell for. All I knew was, I fell for her and that was it. There was nothing such as a certain type."
