The Lawyer’s Romance in Law novel Chapter 330

Chapter 330 It’s Not a Secret 

Tonight, while some were having a good sleep, others were staying awake all night. Rosie, for instance, was pacing back and forth in her room, unable to calm down. 

Now, not only Stephanie, but Rosie also didn’t want Amanda to return to the Allegra Family. If Amanda officially returns to the Allegras and becomes their daughter, I’ll have even less of a chance of winning Eli’s heart. In fact, I’ll never stand a chance at all! 

“What should I do… What should I do?! What on earth should I do?!” She hadn’t a clue what to do. She was biting her nails in anxiety, so anxious her nails were about to bleed. The thing was, it seemed that Elias still had little interest in her. I’ve made such a huge sacrifice, yet all I get in return is him not disliking me. 

Unable to sleep at all, she came to the estate alone, wanting to speak to Elias, though she had no idea what she wanted to say. 

As luck would have it, she ran into a slightly inebriated Elias walking toward her along the 

way. 

Elias’ 

gaze was vacant, but he wasn’t too heavily drunk. “Why are you coming out here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?” He stopped in his tracks, looking at Rosie, who looked all flustered as if she had something on her mind. 

Seeing him at this moment, Rosie felt both excited and torn. She stammered, “I… I am… kind of having trouble falling asleep.” 

If it were Amanda, Elias might have asked why she was having trouble falling asleep. However, since it was Rosie, he didn’t really care and simply replied, “Oh,” and was about to brush past her. 

Just when he brushed past her, Rosie grabbed his sleeve, saying, “Wait a minute, Eli.” 

Elias frowned slightly while looking down at her hand gripping his sleeve. “Let go of me.” 

She immediately let go before putting on an expression that looked as innocent as a little rabbit. “Sorry.” 

The man seemed rather impatient. “What do you want to say?” 

Rosie hemmed and hawed again for a while. “I heard a rumor, and I’m wondering if it’s true. I heard the servants say that Amanda is a daughter of the Allegra Family. Is that true?” 

Instead of answering, Elias stared at her with a frown. 

Rosie added with an embarrassed smile, “It’s probably just the maids spreading rumors. I

might’ve misheard it, too. I just wanted to let you know. If it’s false, you have to discipline those servants lest they go around spreading false-” 

Before she could finish her sentence, he replied, “It’s true, and it’s not a secret. We’re going to make it public. Soon, the whole world will know that Amanda is the Allegra Family’s long- lost eldest daughter.” 

Rosie stood frozen in place after listening to the man’s speech. It was one thing to hear it from the maid, but hearing it directly from Elias was another. So, Amanda really is the daughter of the Allegra Family! 

“Do you have any more questions?” asked Elias again. 

Gathering her wild thoughts, Rosie shook her head with a smile. “That’s great! If that’s the case, no one will say that you and Amanda aren’t compatible anymore. You two will no longer have to keep your marriage a secret.” 

These words sounded as awkward and unwilling as they could be. 

Without saying a word, Elias walked toward the villa, leaving Rosie to stand there alone while watching the man’s tall and good-looking figure disappear. This is getting even harder to deal with now… Amanda has too many trump cards up her sleeve, doesn’t she? Not only is she Eli’s ex-wife, but she’s also the mother of his son and Jack Allegra’s long-lost daughter… God is clearly helping that seductress in every way! So, what’s the point of me donating my bone marrow? To get the three of them together as a happy family? The more I think about this, the madder I’m getting! 

Amanda was staying in Winters Estate these days. She didn’t have a problem with Rosie’s presence anymore; instead, she was slowly getting used to it. 

Aiden’s health was also improving day by day. He was always capering around, which made her sigh with relief. After that, she started busying herself with work again. As for the dinner. party at the end of the month, she left the preparations to Jack. Her only responsibility was to show up at the party by then. 

She was looking at the interior design drawings when Elias called. She answered the phone with her free hand, asking, “What’s the matter?” 

“I had an evening dress tailor-made for you to wear at the dinner party at the end of this month. Try it on when you’re free this evening. I’ve texted you the address.” 

“Okay, I got it.” She smiled without turning him down. 

For a long time, the man on the other end didn’t hang up. He seemed to want to say something more, but eventually, he decided against it and ended the phone call. 

2/4 

After hanging up the phone, Amanda continued to focus on the design drawings. 

Just then, a man came in. “Excuse me, are you Miss Amanda Bailey?” 

Amanda looked up at him. This guy looks so familiar… Where have I seen him before? “Hi… May I know who you are?” 

“Hi, Miss Bailey. I’m Crispin Coyote, your sister Stephanie’s boyfriend.” 

Oh… right. He’s the man whom Stephanie loves so much she can’t live without. Amanda put down the design drawings in her hands. She got up and walked over to him, asking, “How can I help you?” 

Crispin replied, “I’d like to talk to you. Do you have a moment right now?” He made the bold move of coming here directly because there were only a few days left until the dinner
