The Lawyer’s Romance in Law novel Chapter 207

Chapter 207 Visiting His Ex-wife

Stephanie arrived at her father's study and saw him on the phone. Still, she shouted, "Dad! Are you out of your mind? How could you let me become someone's stepmother?"

Jack's back was against her when he heard her voice. Shocked, he quickly hung up the call and thought that his daughter was too willful. She didn't even care that he was on the phone.

"Didn't you see I was talking to someone? Couldn't you wait for a while longer?" Jack put down his phone on the table and sat down on his chair. He already knew what his daughter was going to say.

Stephanie furiously placed her hands on the table and bellowed, "Dad! I'm not going to be someone's stepmother. Not only is Elias a divorcee, but he also has a three-year-old son. How could you make me marry him?"

However, Jack was unfazed. He leaned against the seat and said calmly, "It's common in the business world. You're my only daughter, so please stop being short-sighted. He's from the Winters Family, so why would it be surprising that he has an illegitimate son? Didn't you see his face? Do you think no woman would want to hook up with a handsome man like him? Even if they're not after his money, they'll still woo him for his handsomeness. When you become his wife, you don't have to be worried about the son of his ex-wife kicking up a storm."

"You're hopeless, Dad." Stephanie found it impossible to reason with her father. For some reason, Jack insisted on making her marry Elias.

A disappointed Stephanie turned around and left the study before slamming the door shut. Suddenly, a solution came to her mind. She decided to visit Elias' ex-wife to glean some information from her.

After she found out all of Elias' shortcomings, she would let her father know that the man was unreliable. She then fished out her phone and dialed a number. "Hello? Help me find out who Elias' ex-wife is. I have to visit her."

…

At their home in Northern No. one, Selina said, "Amanda, why don't you prepare dinner and invite Mr. Winters to come over? I can see that he has lost some weight. I suppose he's exhausted from dealing with the funeral and his work. He's Aiden's father, after all."

Presently, Amanda was killing time by watching the television in the living room. When she heard the woman's words, she turned to look at her.

Perhaps it's because of his grandfather's death that Elias has been treating me coldly. When he came over last night, he indeed looked thinner than before. I heard that his aunt had snatched all of Old Mr. Winters' shares from him. I suppose he must be trying very hard to solve the problems now. Why would I even be bothered by his attitude toward me at this point? That's so childish of me.

At the thought of this, Amanda straightened up and replied, "Alright. Why don't you buy some ingredients for me? I'll prepare dinner later and ask him to come over so that he'll get to spend some time with Aiden."

It was apparent that Aiden had been trying to avoid Elias, so she had to come up with a way to help ease off the tension between them.

"Alright, I'll get going now and also pick up Aiden from school." Selina got changed and headed out, leaving Amanda alone at home.

Amanda fished out her phone, ready to learn some recipes on the internet. Since his grandfather is no longer around, I shouldn't be concerned about his attitude toward me.

Finding herself ridiculous, Amanda shook her head with a helpless smile.

All of a sudden, the doorbell started ringing. Amanda put down her phone and walked toward the door. She could see a young woman standing outside through the monitor, but she didn't know her.

She was hesitant to open the door because the young woman was still impatiently pressing against the doorbell, making her look like she was ill-intentioned.

Amanda tried to recall who the woman was. Is she one of my clients? But I don't remember seeing her before.

Out of curiosity, she opened the door and saw a young woman in her earlier twenties. Given the luxurious clothes she was wearing, it was apparent that she was from a wealthy family.
