The Lawyer’s Romance in Law novel Chapter 222

Chapter 222 Forgetting About His Ex-lover

Ignoring the fact that Jack's assistant was still around, Amanda bellowed, "What on earth are you doing here? You're getting engaged soon, and your wedding will be held by the end of the year. What are you trying to achieve? Do you want to annoy me so badly? You humiliated me in the garage the other day, but you're pretending to be a good father now. Don't you find yourself revolting?"

As she recalled what happened in the garage, she had the urge to murder Elias. If not for the fact that Aiden was down with a fever, she would've pounced on the jerk and destroyed him.

Elias remained silent and took a glance at Jack's assistant, Elmer Walsh. He knew that he had to keep on acting.

Otherwise, if Elmer returned and told Jack about it, the older man's suspicion would be aroused.

Elias said grimly, "Regardless, I'm Aiden's father. I'm trying to fulfill my responsibilities, and it has nothing to do with you."

What on earth did he just say? I was the one who gave birth to Aiden, but this man is telling me it has nothing to do with me.

Amanda was so exasperated that she had the urge to laugh. "I'm Aiden's mother, yet you're telling me it has nothing to do with me. Elias, are you so used to getting treated like a prince? Is that why you think everyone in this world has to revolve around you and obey your orders?"

Elmer had been observing their interactions so that he could go back and report everything to Jack.

Seeing that the two of them were about to argue, he tried to calm them down with a smile. "Miss Bailey, you and Mr. Winters used to be married, and you guys have a kid together. There's no need to fall out with each other. Just like what Mr. Winters said, he's the child's father, so he has his responsibilities to fulfill."

"Who are you? What right do you have to butt in? Will you please get out of here? This is a private matter between us, so why have you been listening to our conversation the entire time? Are you monitoring someone?" Amanda inadvertently exposed Elmer's motives.

Elias couldn't help but frown.

Elmer was startled for a moment before replying with a smile, "That's not true. I'm here to help. If there's anything you need, just let me know."

"Sure, there's something I need you to help me with right now. Please get out of this room and close the door. Thanks."

Amanda didn't understand why this man couldn't read the room at all. Can't he see that I'm having a discussion with Elias? Why is he listening to our conversation? How does such a tactless assistant like him survive in the company?

Elmer was dumbfounded upon hearing that. Is she trying to chase me away?

On the other hand, Elias snorted, totally agreeing with Amanda's actions. He had been meaning to tell Elmer to get lost. However, he had no choice but to let Elmer follow him since the latter was Jack's assistant.

"I—"

Elmer still wanted to say something, but Amanda bellowed, "Get lost!"

A shocked Elmer immediately turned around and left the ward before closing the door.

"His ex-wife is so fierce. It's no wonder Mr. Winters fell out of love with her," he muttered under his breath.

Inside the ward, Elias curled his lips. He was glad that he had finally gotten rid of Elmer, who had been monitoring him like a human surveillance camera and reporting everything to Jack.

However, his faint smile made Amanda think that he was mocking her.

"Why are you smiling? Do you think I'm laughable? Yes, I'm such a laughingstock. No former wife of a wealthy man in this world would fare as badly as I do. After the divorce, I got nothing and was even humiliated by you!"

Amanda regretted falling in love with a jerk like him back then. Despite knowing he was a terrible guy, she couldn't pull herself out of it.

When she came back four years later, she still hoped that the jerk would treat her with sincerity. She couldn't think of anyone as foolish as she was.

Seeing how agitated she was, Elias asked, "Do you hate me so much, Amanda?"
