The Lawyer’s Romance in Law novel Chapter 167

Chapter 167 No Man Can Resist the Temptation of Their First Love

Aiden nodded obediently. "Okay."

Then, he turned around to go look for Amanda, but saw her walking back with a bunch of branches in her hands.

"Mommy!"

She coldly threw the branches to the side and looked at Elias, "How could you talk behind my back with my son?"

Elias was pitching the tent as he answered with a smile, "Did I?"

It was the truth that Amanda went missing for four years, in which Elias tried all he could to look for her but found nothing.

Amanda harrumphed as she retorted hotly, "I'm an adult. How can I go missing?"

Suddenly, Elias' phone rang, and he answered it with a frown, "I'll head over in a couple of days. Look for Mr. Briggs if anything comes up. Tell him that I sent you."

Then, Natasha's gentle voice could be heard coming through the phone. "Okay."

Amanda didn't want to listen in, but still heard it. Natasha's voice made her uncomfortable and she couldn't resist but ask, "Is that your first love calling you? Are you at the stage where you can't bear to part with each other?"

She didn't even realize how sour her tone was.

Elias glanced at her. "Can't you change how you address her? She has a name. It's Natasha."

Tsk. Tsk. He's protecting her now? Amanda was filled with contempt for Elias. This sc*mbag sure had many romantic relationships.

Regardless, she could care less about the man and simply snorted, "What's the use of me to remember her name? You're the only one who has to. I'm not the one spending my life with her."

However, Elias looked at her with utter bewilderment as he explained seriously, "I'm not doing that. I'm still single in the eyes of the law."

Amanda piled the branches up and acted as if she didn't care. "Law, schlaws. You've started something with her. It's obvious you two still have feelings for each other. So, there's a high possibility of the both of you getting back together."

He couldn't help but continue to tease her when he saw how jealous she was. "Natasha couldn't find a job, so I gave her one. Besides, she is qualified for this job. It's not as complex as you think this is."

"Is that so… Can't she find her own job? I found mine on my own. How hard can it be?"

When Amanda didn't have a job, she didn't go to Elias for help. Yet, Natasha did. She even came looking for Elias on her own. As a fellow woman, Amanda was well aware of just what Natasha was thinking. It was as clear as day that she wanted to get back together with Elias.

Elias could feel his lips curling into a smirk as he tried his best to remain impassive. "Is that so? Maybe it's because you're more independent and Natasha's more cowardly. She has gone for several interviews and failed. So, she was disheartened. She probably won't come to me if she had a choice."

"Tsk… No man can resist the temptation of their first love. And here I thought you were different from the others, but it seems men all the same," Amanda's tone was full of resentment like a woman whose husband had cheated on her.

Elias chuckled as he gazed at her figure. She wasn't aware of the looks he was shooting at her as she was trying to preoccupy herself by arranging the branches she had brought. "You're like a bitter wife whose husband had cheated on her. You speak as though I am your husband."

Amanda looked up with widened eyes as she tried to refute, "No! That's not it. Pitch the tent. I'm just afraid that when you reconcile with your first love. If you do, Aiden will be in danger. After all, there was that entire incident with Grace that I have no intention of ever going through again."
