The Lawyer’s Romance in Law novel Chapter 229

Chapter 229 Elias Winters Is Your Father, Yes?

"We should go now." Elias held his son tightly and looked at Amanda. "I'm going to take Aiden to school."

With that, he turned and walked away, while their little bundle of joy happily clung to the man's neck while chattering incessantly.

Amanda's heart was filled with endless emotions as she watched the retreating figures of the father and son. How did it come to this...

She wanted to cut off all contact with Elias completely, but she couldn't possibly do that since she had to consider Aiden. Aiden had just started to develop a sense of dependence on his biological father. How could a three-year-old boy handle being told that Elias wasn't his father any more?

After the door closed, Selina couldn't help but ask, "Amanda, what exactly happened between you two? Why are you suddenly acting like enemies? Seriously, I still don't understand why Mr. Winters suddenly decided to marry someone else. I definitely see the love for you and Aiden in his eyes—"

"You must be mistaken, then. Don't delude yourself. He's about to get engaged. The other person is a wealthy heiress who is younger, prettier, and more useful than me. He has no attachment to me whatsoever."

Amanda sat back on the couch with a cold expression as she stated these facts without any emotion.

"But—"

"That's enough, Selina. You can go on with your tasks. I want some time alone. I'm feeling a bit tired."

Seeing how bothered Amanda was, Selina didn't know what else to say and could only nod.

As Selina had barely taken a few steps, the doorbell rang. She was about to go and answer it when Amanda stood up. "You go on with what you need to do. I'll answer the door."

Selina then nodded and went into the kitchen.

Amanda arrived at the entrance and furrowed her brows when she saw the person on the video doorbell. It was none other than Stephanie, the heiress of the Allegra Group.

What does she want now? Amanda took a moment to compose herself before she opened the door.

Stephanie was standing outside with a smile on her face. "Hi, Miss Bailey. We meet again."

"What are you here for? Another attempt to pry into Elias' privacy? If you really want to know something, why don't you ask him directly? This is getting annoying."

With that, Amanda started to close the door, only to have Stephanie block it with her hand and enter the house. "Seems like you already know everything, Miss Bailey. I won't beat around the bush, then. I am Elias' soon-to-be fiancée."

"And? Did someone let you in?"

"I came in by myself. What can you do about it? Besides, this isn't even your house. I checked, and it belongs to Elias." Stephanie strutted into the living room and sat on the couch.

"Amanda, who is it? Do they need something to drink?" Selina asked from the kitchen.

"It's fine!" Amanda declined directly. She had no intention of preparing drinks for Stephanie.

Meanwhile, Stephanie sat on the couch, feigning innocence. "Why are you being so stingy? You won't even give me a drink. Are you upset because I'm Elias' fiancée? Are you angry? Do you still have hopes about your ex-husband?"

Stephanie didn't initially plan to disturb this mother-son duo, but she wanted revenge on Elias.

The image of Crispin being forcibly taken away yesterday infuriated her. She thought that Elias was a scoundrel who intentionally brought Crispin to the house.

Given that, she wouldn't blame herself for harassing this pitiful mother and son.
