The Lawyer’s Romance in Law novel Chapter 254

Chapter 254 Amanda? It's Really You!

So, Elias never intended to marry her. He did so just to get what he wanted. That realization instantly ruined Stephanie's mood.

It was not because she liked Elias but because she felt like her ego was being stepped on. Was she not excellent or pretty at all? Why was Elias so infatuated with his humble ex-wife? She could not wrap her head around that…

Stephanie averted her gaze to look at the scenery outside the window. She pretended not to be bothered by it before asking calmly, "Elias, if Crisp managed to hold on and we successfully canceled our engagement, will you choose to get your ex-wife back?"

Then, she turned to look at the man's side profile, anticipating his answer. But she did not know what answer she was anticipating. Was she hoping Elias to say no?

While looking in front, Elias held the steering wheel with one hand and thought about it for a while before saying, "Let's talk about it next time."

Stephanie instantly felt relieved that Elias did not say "Yes" but then thought she was being ironic. What did it have to do with her if Elias had decided to get back with his ex-wife? What was she relieved about?

There were seven days until their engagement, but Stephanie was getting even more unsure about her feelings. She seemed less willing to make Crispin stay and was even somewhat eager to see Elias wearing that particular suit during their engagement.

Her thoughts were everywhere during the rest of the way, and the car finally arrived at the Allegra Villa after who knew how long.

"We're here. Get out," Elias ordered.

Stephanie took a look at the familiar door and finally realized she was home but was slightly reluctant to return home.

"Oh…" She unfastened her seatbelt and slowly got out of the car. Just as she had closed the door and was about to wave goodbye, Elias drove away without even looking at her, leaving her with the sight of a pair of taillights moving further away.

Has that man always been so unromantic? Does he treat that lawyer the same? I wonder how Amanda would be willing to bear a child for that man.

…

The following week, everyone was busy with their own matters, and Amanda never met Elias again.

Elias still transported his son to and from school every day, but whenever he arrived at Northern No. 1, Amanda either had already left or was yet to return.

"Daddy, tomorrow's the weekend. Why don't you bring me out to play? Mommy won't be home tomorrow." Aiden sneakily informed the man.

While holding his tiny hand, Elias led him to the door and pressed the doorbell. "Is she now? What has your mommy been busy with lately?" I never see her whenever I come. Is she busy, or is she deliberately trying to avoid me?

Aiden frowned. "Mommy mentioned something about establishing a legal firm. Anyway, she's even busy on weekends and has no time to accompany me."

A legal firm? Is Amanda thinking of opening her own office? Indeed, she can open her own firm with her current ability and reputation.

Elias smiled. "Sure. I'll come pick you up tomorrow. Where would you like to go?"

"Universal Studios! I went there last time, and it was fun! I want to go there again!" Aiden looked excited because he knew his father had never rejected his requests.

"Okay. I'll bring you there tomorrow."

At that moment, Selina opened the door. "Mr. Winters."

"Bring Aiden to take a bath. He's sweaty from playing soccer just now."

"Okay."

Then, he asked, "Is Amanda going to open her own law firm? Is she not returning to her previous one?"

"I'm not sure about it either, but Amanda's been busy with matters about the law firms. She wants to open her own law firm and has the qualifications to do so. I recommend she do so, too," Selina replied.
