The Lawyer’s Romance in Law novel Chapter 176

Chapter 176 Assisting in a Bath

Amanda shot him a sharp glare, suppressing her anger, and reluctantly picked up some vegetables to place in his bowl. Observing her sulky demeanor, Elias could not help but let a satisfied smile curl up at the corner of his mouth. After finishing their dinner, Selina went to the kitchen to tidy up, leaving the couple alone in the living room. The television played an animated series that was Aiden's favorite.

Glancing at his wristwatch, Elias realized it was getting late and inquired, "Where should I sleep?"

"Just make yourself comfortable on the couch. It's cozy," Amanda replied with a faint smile.

He raised an eyebrow and stayed silent for a moment. Sleep... on... the... couch...? Well, this woman truly has a heart of steel.

Feeling a sense of displeasure, the man clenched his jaw and fixed his gaze on her flawless profile. "I want to take a bath. Help me," he stated, standing up and heading toward her bedroom.

Her smile froze as she hesitated for a moment. "How can I help with your bath? Are you kidding me?"

"What's there to be shy about? It's not like you haven't seen it before. We've already had a child, so can't you help out? Come on, hurry up." He forcefully pushed open her bedroom door and walked in.

Amanda watched helplessly as the man entered her bedroom. Instinctively, she stood up and shouted, "Hey! Why are you going into my room? Go wash up in the guestroom. Stop right there!"

In the kitchen, Selina heard her cries and could not help but poke her head out and ask, "What are you shouting about? Are you calling me?"

"No, it's nothing. I wasn't calling you. Just keep busy." Amanda waved her hand, then hastily made her way into her bedroom. This man simply could not sit still even for a moment. Even with an injured foot, he continued to be restless.

As she stepped into her bedroom, her eyes were immediately drawn to the sight of the man undressing, revealing his enticing chest and abs. Reflexively, she turned away and even covered her eyes, just like she did the first time she laid eyes on him, so innocent and naive.

Noticing her reaction, the man could not help but chuckle. "Is that necessary? It's not like we haven't been intimate before."

She grew furious and quickly turned around. "You're shameless! Act like a father, please—"

Before she could finish her sentence, she noticed Elias unfastening his belt, striking a seductive pose. "What are you doing? Are you seriously planning to bathe in my bathroom? Are you out of your mind? Have you forgotten that we're divorced? I have no obligation to take care of you!" She was losing her patience.

What exactly does this despicable man have in mind?

However, he had already discarded his clothes and confidently made his way toward the bathroom, shooting her a glance. "Help me. You're no longer obligated to take care of me, but I got injured because of you, so I have the right to ask for your assistance."

Amanda pointed at herself in disbelief. "Me? I think you've lost your mind, Elias! Get out of there! I'm not helping you!"

She approached the bathroom door and yelled inside, but unexpectedly, a long arm suddenly reached out and pulled her into the bathroom. In the following moments, screams echoed from the bathroom.

Selina, standing outside the bedroom door, hurried over with concern. "Amanda, are you alright? What happened?"

After a few seconds, a composed voice emerged from the bedroom. "I'm fine. Just go to sleep."

Selina was with a puzzled expression, looking at the closed bedroom door. Since Amanda had said everything was fine, she could not push for more answers and could only turn around and leave.
