The Lawyer’s Romance in Law novel Chapter 212

Chapter 212 Present a Public Front While Secretly Preparing a Hidden Plan

Crispin persuaded, "Steph, it's hard for us to be happy if the elders do not bless our relationship. That's why it's better for us not to take this step unless we're absolutely sure of our relationship. After all, that's the man who raised you since birth."

These were clearly the words of a wolf in sheep's clothing, but Stephanie was utterly moved by his hypocritical words.

Crisp is so sensible and gentle, unlike my father, who is a domineering *ss.

Crispin looked at the pajamas that Stephanie wore and immediately knew what it meant.

It was just that he currently lacked the courage to sleep with her. If Jack found out that Crispin bedded Stephanie, the older man's impression of him would ultimately be ruined.

And so, he feigned chivalry as he continued, "Don't be like this, Steph. I like you solely because I like you. I want to be your boyfriend, and I want to do it openly. I'll do everything that I can to persuade your father to accept me. Why don't you return home with your bodyguards? Don't let your father worry."

"Crisp, I…" Stephanie felt guilty upon hearing that. Crisp is such a kind person, but I've lied to him.

The group of people with her weren't bodyguards; they were actually marriage candidates that her father had assigned to her!

However, she did not have the heart to break Crisp's heart by telling him the truth.

"Steph, don't be willful. I'll find a way to get your father to accept me and let him see my sincerity in giving you happiness."

Stephanie burst into tears at that. She felt that she did not choose the wrong person to be her life partner. Crisp wasn't that ungrateful, greedy villain that everyone made him out to be. It was such a pity that her father was stubborn and did not want to get to know Crispin even better.

…

Elias stood in front of the car and lit a cigarette. He felt that Stephanie would magically appear as he smoked a few cigarettes.

He was halfway done with one of the sticks when he saw her in the alley.

He then raised his eyebrows at how much faster she was than he thought she would be.

Stephanie had a long face when she approached him and rudely instructed, "Let's go! I'll give you the report!"

Elias threw the cigarette butt into the bin as he uttered with a hint of ridicule in his tone, "As I thought, this won't do. You came out faster than I expected."

"Don't push it, Elias Winters! Who permitted you to locate Crisp's house? I'm warning you—I won't let you off the hook if he finds out about us!"

She was most worried that Crispin would misunderstand the situation because she would not be able to explain the matter clearly.

Meanwhile, Elias sneered and retorted, "Then, why the hell did you look for my ex-wife? I'm also warning you. If my ex-wife finds out about us, I'll make sure that your little toy boy will die a horrible death. I mean what I say, so you are more than welcome to try me."

With that, he entered the driver's seat.

Stephanie also sat in the passenger's seat and coldly snorted before she looked out the window.

And so, he drove her back to Allegra Villa.

Since it was a silent ride, Stephanie was so bored she couldn't help but open her mouth.

"Hey, why are you scared that your ex-wife will know about us? In my case, it's because I like Crisp. How about you? Don't tell me you still have feelings for your ex-wife?"

Elias only stared at the road ahead of him and ignored her as if she did not exist.

It was because he felt that she was too boisterous and noisy to the point where his head ached.
