The Lawyer’s Romance in Law novel Chapter 435

 

Chapter 435 Escaping from the Estate. 

It was already late at night by the time Amanda returned. 

She had been waiting for Symeon to look for her. Yet, she had wasted her entire day waiting for him only for him to stand her up. 

Frankly, she found it strange as his father told her he had already returned. So, he should have already done something by now. 

Just as she was about to fall asleep, the door was pushed open. She immediately sobered up and rubbed her eyes, only to see Symeon. Thus, she straightened her spine as a vigilant expression appeared on her face. “What are you here for?” 

“What’s with that expression? Weren’t you waiting for me?” He laughed. 

“When have I ever waited for you? You narcissist,” she snarked. 

He simply chuckled at her response. “Congratulations, your scheme succeeded. You are more than welcome to leave now, Of course, the people who intended to save you will be accompanying you. However… the child will be staying with me.”” 

Amanda’s eyes lit up with surprise. I knew it would work! 

Still, even though she was deliriously happy, she had to appear calm in front of him. Unfortunately, Symeon had already noticed the brief flicker of joy in her eyes. 

“I truly didn’t expect you to reach an agreement with Elizabeth. I have to say, you’re quite a wily one.” 

He had indeed underestimated this woman who appeared soft and meek on the outside. For a moment, he had forgotten that she was actually a rising star in the legal world. 

Nonetheless, she couldn’t be bothered to respond to his words as she replied, “Before I leave, can I see Aiden? I want to have a good chat with him. That way, he will definitely be more obedient. Otherwise, I’m certain that you wouldn’t be able to calm him down even if you cloned yourself to satisfy his needs.” 

Symeon nodded. That was true enough. This little guy seemed well-behaved most of the time. Regrettably, the instant he started making a fuss, no one could hope to talk any sense to him until he calmed down on his own. 

“Remember, don’t instill any thoughts of hatred toward me in the child. You have to tell him. that I am his biological father.” 

She didn’t say anything as she gave him a begrudging nod. 

1/4 

Well, that didn’t matter. She already had a plan in place. The moment she returned to the country, she would immediately have Elias rescue Aiden. She wouldn’t waste even a single second to get her son back from this fiend. 

Amanda arrived at Aiden’s room. He was already fast asleep, but he had just fallen asleep. So, he hadn’t hit the REM sleep cycle yet. 

Therefore, when she quietly opened the door, Aiden opened his eyes almost instantaneously. When his eyes landed on her figure, he happily climbed out of bed and threw himself into 

her arms. 

“Mommy, where did you go? You didn’t pay attention to me for several days!” he exclaimed piteously. 

Amanda hugged her son tightly, tears welling up in her eyes. This would probably be the longest time she would be separated from her baby, primarily because she didn’t know how long it would take for Elias to wake up. 

“Aiden, it’s all Mommy’s fault. I’m sorry, Mommy didn’t mean it.” 

He couldn’t bear to hear her so choked up. So, he gently touched her cheek as he consoled her, “Mommy, don’t cry. I’m not angry. I was just teasing you.” 

Regardless, his words still made her snap back to reality as she wiped away her tears and. smiled through her pain. “Aiden, you have to stay here for a while longer. Mommy will come and pick you up, okay? Just be patient. I promise this is the last time you’ll have to wait for 

me.” 

“What are you going to do, Mommy?” 

“Mommy has something to take care of. I’ll ask this man here to take care of you in the meantime, okay? Mommy will pick you up as soon as I’m done.” Amanda felt her wavering control over her emotions falter. Unfortunately, she had to play her part and maintain a strong facade in front of her son. 

To make matters worse, Baby looked utterly pitiful as he pouted, and held onto her tightly, acting spoiled. “But, I’ll miss you…” 

Once she heard his words, he couldn’t hold back her tears anymore. Sure enough, her tears flowed down her cheeks as she cried silently. 

Nonetheless, she didn’t want to worry her darling son. So, she hastily turned her face away to prevent him from seeing her despair as she frantically wiped away her tears. Once she had managed to compose herself, she swiftly took out her phone and handed it to him. “Here, this phone is Mommy’s present to you. You can call me whenever you miss me. I promise

that I’ll answer inmediately. Okay, Mommy will teach you how to make a phone call 

Then, Amanda unlocked the screen and opened the contacts tab. There was only one phone number saved, hers. 

Finally, she taught Baby how to call her step by step. By the time they were done with their impromptu lesson, Baby’s mood had brightened considerably. 

“Mommy, can I call you every day?” 

“Of course, anytime. Call Mommy whenever you encounter anything, and Mommy will do the same as well.” 

Baby held onto the phone, thrilled. “Then, I’ll call Mommy every day.” 

As she gazed at her son’s innocent and pure eyes, she could barely wrangle her tears back. He was just a three-year-old child! He was too young and naive to understand what was going on. Yet, he had to experience things that even adults found hard to bear. 

Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and Symeon walked in. “Aiden, it’s late. It’s time to sleep. You’ll be going to kindergarten tomorrow.”” 

“Kindergarten? I haven’t been to kindergarten for a long time.” Baby’s eyes lit up. He did miss his friends in kindergarten. 

Meanwhile, Amanda looked at Symeon, and he explained, “I’ve done a thorough 

investigation. So, he will be enrolled in the kindergarten he attended in the United States. He should be familiar with it.” 

She had to admit, it was a good call to send him off to kindergarten. At least she didn’t have to worry about Aiden being confined in these four walls before she could stage a rescue. 

“Aiden, off to sleep with you then.” 

Aiden obediently clambered under the covers, but he held onto the phone Amanda tightly. It was as if he was afraid someone would snatch it from him.

him 

Once Aiden was comfortably cocooned under the blanket, she gently patted him twice and soon heard his breathing even out. The child had fallen asleep.
