The Lawyer’s Romance in Law novel Chapter 218

Chapter 218 Otherwise, I'll Flatten This Place Tonight!

Yacob drove Elias around in search of Amanda, as they still needed some time to pinpoint her location via her phone.

Elias' expression was completely serious. All he could think about was how pitiful Amanda seemed while crying in the parking lot, and he wondered if he had been too harsh with his words. But if he weren't harsh with Amanda, the eavesdropping Jack would not believe him, and he would not be able to use Jack like how he planned.

Elias looked out the window at the quiet street. It was late at night, so where could she be, and why did she not return home? Could she be hiding somewhere, crying her heart out? With his knowledge of Amanda, that seemed to happen quite frequently.

At that thought, Elias felt a pang in his heart, and his thick eyelashes trembled.

When Yacob saw his boss' worried expression through the rearview mirror, he comforted, "Mr. Winters, don't worry. We've already begun tracking her phone, so I'm sure we will get the results very soon."

Just as Yacob was speaking, his phone rang, and he answered it with a serious expression. It seemed like they had found where Amanda's phone was located.

After hanging up, Yacob turned the car around and headed in another direction. "We've found her. They say she was at a bar an hour ago, and her current location is at Galaxy Bay," Yacob explained.

Galaxy Bay? Elias' expression instantly turned grim as he realized that was where Simon was living. Could they be…

With his fists clenched, Elias pursed his lips and ordered, "Faster. Drive faster!"

"Roger that!" Yacob stomped on the accelerator.

Since Amanda was with Simon, it was natural for Elias to be anxious, but what confused Yacob was that his boss had previously mentioned letting go of Amanda, so why was he so worked up about which man she was with now? Yacob felt at a loss for words.

…

At Galaxy Bay.

Simon watched Amanda sleeping and listened to her mumbling. When he saw her frown, he could not hold back his desire to hold her hand. "I said I can protect you, but why won't you give me a chance to do so? Why don't you believe that I like you?"

The truth was that Simon discovered he seemed to have fallen in love with Amanda at some point. Saying they could get married and develop feelings later was just an excuse back then. He wanted to marry Amanda and live a life with her. That was it.

Suddenly, the sleeping Amanda began talking in her sleep again while tightly clutching Simon's hand. "Don't… Don't go, please… Don't go, Mom. Don't leave me alone. Don't go… Mom…"

She was like a helpless child, softly mumbling as tears flowed from the corner of her eyes.

The sight of her took Simon by surprise because he did not expect her to start crying. He grabbed a tissue to wipe her tears.

At that moment, the sound of the doorbell ringing came from outside, causing him to frown. Who would come at such a late hour?

The doorbell rang again, sounding more anxious than the previous time like it was rushing the person inside.

Frowning, Simon headed downstairs to the entrance and looked through the video doorbell to see who was outside. Elias Winters? How did he find out Amanda's here so quickly? Ha…

However, Simon chose not to open the door and instead used the intercom. "Go home. Amanda's drunk and can't go home now. She's sleeping. I'll send her home tomorrow."
