The Lawyer’s Romance in Law novel Chapter 219

Chapter 219 I Would Rather Aiden Does Not Have a Father

Amanda came back to her senses then. "N-Nothing. I'm fine. I want to go home. It's getting late, and I didn't return home last night, so Aiden's probably worried about me…"

While speaking, she grabbed her phone and saw there were countless missed calls from Selina, who was probably anxious after being unable to reach her all night.

Meanwhile, Simon said nothing and just watched her from the side.

Amanda dialed Selina's number and heard her worried voice. "Amanda, where are you? Why didn't you answer any of my calls last night? Are you alright?"

"I'm sorry. I'm fine. It's just that I got drunk last night. I'll come home later. Has Aiden gone to school?"

"Yes, I sent him to school, and he kept asking why his mommy wasn't home. I lied, saying you have work today and left early."

Amanda ran a hand through her hair upon hearing that. "Alright. I'll be home soon, so don't worry."

After she finished speaking, she hung up and pulled the covers off her. Then, she went to the bathroom to wash up. Since she previously stayed here, she was familiar with the place.

In the meantime, Simon had arrived outside the bathroom, waiting for Amanda to come out.

A while later, when Amanda came out of the bathroom after washing up, she was startled to see Simon standing outside the door. "Why are you standing there? You gave me a fright!"

At that, Simon asked, "Are you going to leave now? I have something to ask you. What happened last night between you and Elias? Why did you get drunk at the bar?"

"It's nothing. I need to go now. We'll talk next time."

She was in no mood to discuss this topic and wanted to hurry home. However, just after Amanda took a step away, Simon blocked her way and seemed like he would not let her leave until he received the answer he wanted.

"Did you and Elias get into a fight? What was it about?"

"Who told you we fought? It's nothing. I have nothing to do with him, nor would I fight with him."

At the mention of Elias, Amanda unconsciously recalled what happened at the parking lot last night. She gritted her teeth in anger, wanting to kill that sc*mbag. Every word he said back there was an insult to her character.

Simon chuckled and asked, "Are you sure? Last night, you kept scolding Elias and calling him a sc*mbag in your dreams. Does that sound like nothing to you? Also, how did you get acquainted with Stephanie Allegra? Why were you talking about her in your sleep too?"

Amanda frowned. Did I really say that much while drunk? It seems like I must restrain myself from drinking in the future. My tolerance is not good, and I seem to like spouting nonsense after getting drunk.

"No, I don't know who Stephanie Allegra is, or perhaps the Stephanie I know is different from the one you know. There are many people with the same names all around the world."

Once she finished, she wanted to leave again, but Simon continued to block her way.

"What else do you want to say?" Amanda was starting to feel irritated.

"Elias came looking for you last night and asked me to return you. I didn't open the door, but then he suddenly left. I thought he would drive the car in and force the door open."

The expression on Amanda's face stiffened, and she was stunned for a long time.
