The Lawyer’s Romance in Law novel Chapter 464

Chapter 464 It’s Been a While 

Elias remained alert and slowly spoke. “It’s hard to say if he is my son. Are you trying to deceive me into rescuing the son of you and your lover?” 

He didn’t want to doubt Amanda, but the paternity test inade it difficult for him to let his guard down. He had to investigate thoroughly before concluding whether or not the child was his. 

Amanda’s heart sank at his words. She couldn’t bear to stay for another second. Immediately, she stood up, picked up her bag, and turned to leave the office; tears streamed down her face as she walked away. If she stayed any longer, she was afraid she wouldn’t be able to resist slapping this man across the face. 

Elias sat on the couch this time, watching as the woman slammed the door and stormed out of the office. He had to investigate everything before he could determine the truth quickly. Otherwise, he couldn’t distinguish whether Amanda’s words were true or false. 

After getting up and returning to his desk, he called his assistant on the intercom. Within a minute, the assistant entered the office, looking flustered. “Mr. Winters, you called for me. Is there something wrong? He was busy at his workstation and was taken aback when his boss suddenly called him into the office. 

“How is the investigation I asked you to do? What is my current marital status? Am I married or divorced?” Elias asked. 

The assistant answered, “Oh, I just received a call from the relevant department. They said you’re currently married, and if your marriage certificate is missing, it can be reissued-” 

So, what Amanda said about remarrying was true? Elias cut the assistant short. “What else? Did I have a child with Amanda? What happened before my car accident? Why did I have the accident in the first place?” 

The assistant looked confused by the questions. “Um… I haven’t found out about those things yet. And almost no one knew about your car accident, not even me, until a few days ago. I don’t know when you had the accident or when you woke up. As for your marriage to Miss Bailey, only a few people know about it, and even fewer people know about the child.” 

Elias’ face darkened, and he waved his hand, signaling for the assistant to leave. 

The assistant had no choice but to leave the office and close the door. 

Elias felt that something must have happened before his car accident-something intense. The accident must be related to the paternity test, but it wasn’t just because of the test. 

Since the accident, whenever he used his brain for too long, he would get a headache. And now, his headache was starting again. 

He opened the drawer and took out some painkillers, swallowing two pills. 

Amanda wandered aimlessly on the street, not knowing where to go. 

At this moment, Aiden made an international long-distance call to her. She sat on a nearby bench and answered the phone. Aiden’s excited voice came through the phone, saying, “Mommy Mommy. I saw Mr. Yacob! Mr. Yacob said he will play with me every day” 

She immediately perked up. Yacob managed to sneak in there so quickly? He didn’t even call me to let her brow

Maybe it was inconvenient for him to call from Lawrence Estate. “Aiden, did you really see Mr. Yacob?” she 

asked 

“Yeah. Mr. Yacob came to see me in my room. He said we’ll be able to go home soon, and he will play with me every day.” Aiden replied. 

Amanda couldn’t help but feel nervous. Yacob had sneaked into Lawrence Estate now. If he were found out by Simon again, Simon would definitely kill him this time. “Aiden, listen to me. You mustn’t tell anyone about Mr. Yacob. Do you understand?” 

“But Mommy, can’t I tell Mr. Lawrence too?” Aiden asked innocently. 

Amanda’s heart jumped up into her throat. She immediately stopped him, saying, “Exactly! Especially Mr. Lawrence. You absolutely mustn’t tell him where Mr. Yacob is.” 

“Why? I don’t think Mr. Lawrence is a bad person. Even though he’s stern, he hasn’t bullied me,” replied Aiden. After these days of spending time together, he had come to believe that Symeon wasn’t a bad person despite his foul temper. 

Amanda’s heart skipped a beat. At this rate, Aiden might end up getting along peacefully with that Lawrence guy! She patiently explained to her son, “It’s because… they have a grudge against each other, so you can’t say anything. You got it? Be good and stay there. Mr. Yacob will play with you every day, but anyone, or Mr. Yacob won’t be able to stay there anymore.” 

you can’t tell 

“Okay, Mommy, I got it.” 

At that moment, Symeon’s voice rang on the other end as he called Aiden to come over to eat. Then, Amanda heard the man’s voice through the phone. “Why do you always call him during his mealtime? Don’t you know it would affect his appetite?” 

“It was Aiden who called me. How would I know when he’s eating?” She couldn’t speak nicely to this man. Had it not been for this lunatic, she wouldn’t have ended up in this situation, and Elias wouldn’t have had the car accident and lost his memory. 

“You’d better cut down on the number of times you talk to him. That way, he can slowly forget about you,” Symeon said coldly. He didn’t want to see Aiden constantly talking to Amanda over the phone in front of 

him.
