The Lawyer’s Romance in Law novel Chapter 272

Chapter 272 He Can’t Get Over You 

“That’s… A problem.” Amanda didn’t know what to do now. She didn’t want to get involved in Lunabelle’s and Simon’s mess. 

Lunabelle sobbed. “I’m so sorry for visiting you out of the blue today. I don’t have many friends in this country. I wanted to vent to someone, but then I realized that I don’t have any friends,” 

“It’s okay. I understand.” Amanda knew more than anyone what it felt like to be left alone, completely. helpless. 

Lunabelle seemed to have cleared her mind after enjoying some time under the breeze. Then, she wiped her tears. 

“What about you? Are you reconciling with your ex-husband?” 

Amanda’s smile froze for a moment. I’m not sure about that. There doesn’t seem to be a need to reconcile. I can never be his type, or he wouldn’t be so cruel to me four years ago. I cannot believe that he earnestly fell for me now, either. I think we’ll just keep things as they are, and we can raise our son together.” 

She honestly didn’t know how to deal with her relationship with Elias, and with the Allegras added into the mix, her mind was a mess. 

“You have to follow your heart. Why bother about so many things? If your ex-husband wants to reconcile, and you want to reconcile as well, then just do it. After all, you have a child too,” Lunabelle said. 

Amanda fell silent. 

Could things be so simple? She didn’t dare imagine it. 

} 

Also, Howard had just passed away, and Elias was swamped with company matters. Elias probably didn’t have the time to think about these things. 

In reality, Lunabelle had ulterior motives for saying that. She felt that as long as Amanda hadn’t found a man of her own, Simon would never turn his focus back on her. 

Lunabelle wasn’t as confident as she had been back then. In the past, she could confidently tell everyone that Simon would only marry her. Now that things had changed, she had lost that confidence as well. 

Amanda sighed lightly. “Are you convincing me to get a man and settle down?” 

She seemed to have understood Lunabelle’s thoughts. Lunabelle thought that it was Amanda’s hesitation. that caused problems between Simon and her. Simon couldn’t settle down knowing that Amanda is still up for grabs. Hence, Lunabelle and Simon still couldn’t reconcile after all this while. 

“Um, I don’t mean it like that. I just want everyone to have a good ending.” 

Amanda scoffed, her voice filled with mockery, “A good ending? Then, why would you make the wrong choice in the beginning? When you decided to get married, you should have known that you made the wrong choice. Now that you’re trying to turn back, you realized that Simon didn’t wait for you like you assumed he would.” 

When Lunabelle heard Amanda’s words, she was forced to face just how cruel she had been. 

“No! It’s not like that. I had my reasons when I got married all those years ago. I was forced to do it,” 

Lunabelle suddenly shouted defensively. 

Amanda crossed her arms and leaned back. “Sure. However, you shouldn’t have left without saying. goodbye. In those years when I met Simon overseas, he was in a horrible state. He looked like he was still plagued by sorrow after being abandoned by you. He took a long while to get over this failed relationship. Yet, here you are now. You came back and suddenly wanted him to accept you unconditionally. You didn’t even give him time to recover from the shock. Do you think this is fair to him?” 

For a moment, everything was quiet. 

Lunabelle was at a loss for words. Of course, she knew that she was being unfair to Simon right now. Plus, she was also a divorcee. 

She had no other choice, so she could only go to Simon. If she didn’t, the rest of her life would be in ruins. 

Lunabelle was all worked up as she refuted hotly, “What about you? Was it fair for you to be with Simon? You got divorced and even had a child, so you’re better off being with your ex-husband!” 

Hah… 

This woman finally revealed her truest thoughts. 

Amanda said with a smirk, “You finally said it. You’ve been holding it in for long enough, haven’t you? You didn’t want to vent to me; you wanted to convince me to reconcile as soon as possible so that you wouldn’t have anything to worry about in the future, right?” 

“It’s not like that, I truly wanted to vent- 

Amanda was losing her patience. She stood up and said, “Miss Gowen, Mr. and Mrs. Nicholson looked down on you, and Simon has no intention of reconciling with you, but I’m not at all related to these things. It’ll still be the same if I weren’t part of the equation.” 

Lunabelle shot to her feet as well. “Impossible! If it weren’t for you, Simon wouldn’t still be so hung up over you. He can’t get over you.” 

“Even if it wasn’t me, he would still fall for someone else. Did you think that Simon wouldn’t fall for anyone but you? You’ve gotten married and then divorced, so what right do you have to forbid Simon from liking another woman?” Amanda’s tone was filled with disdain. 

“You!” 

Lunabelle wanted to say more, but Amanda interrupted her. “If you still insist on wasting my time with nonsense, then I’m sorry. I don’t want to hear more of it. I have to go to sleep now because I have a lot of matters to attend to tomorrow. Please go home.” 

Lunabelle looked at her, hesitant. Then, she could only leave in anger. 

She thought that Amanda could understand her circumstances and work with her, but she didn’t expect. things to turn out like this. 

Amanda went to the location Simon specified to meet the following day. It was a cafe. 

The waiter led her to a seat by the window. Simon was sitting there alone, drinking coffee. He even ordered a latte for her. 

“Amanda, you’re here.” 

“Yes.” She smiled, then took a seat at the side. She picked up the coffee and took a sip.
