The Lawyer’s Romance in Law novel Chapter 542

Chapter 542 Am I a Bad Woman in Your Eyes? 

It was already noon the next day when Amanda woke up. She was so exhausted that at one. point, when the maid came to call her for breakfast, she couldn’t get up. 

She even missed sending Aiden to kindergarten. 

Last night, Elias had exhausted her for too long, leaving her feeling sore and tired. However, that man seemed refreshed and went to work as usual. 

When she woke up, it wasn’t a natural awakening but rather a phone call that disturbed her. 

She reached for her phone and saw that it was Elias calling. She answered the phone somewhat irritably, “What do you want? Are you calling to console me?” 

The man on the other end of the line chuckled indulgently. “Yes, how are you feeling? Just woke up, huh? I heard you slept in all morning and didn’t even have breakfast.” 

“Could I even get up? How dare you ask that question? Don’t you know how unreasonable you were last night!” Amanda didn’t even have the energy to flip out. 

“Okay, okay, it’s all my fault. How about coming over for lunch? I’ll treat you.” 

“No need, I don’t feel like going out. I’ll just eat something at home.” 

“Alright, suit yourself. If you get sleepy, just eat and go back to sleep.” 

Amanda’s lips twitched. “How is that any different from raising a pig? Eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating.” 

“So what? I can afford it, and I’m willing to do it.” 

“Elias! You really have a sharp tongue. Well, you’d better go earn money quickly, or you really won’t be able to afford me. I’m not easy to maintain.” 

“Okay, I’ll go make money then. You better get up and have something to eat.” 

Despite feeling a bit angry, after hanging up the phone, she couldn’t help but feel a warm and sweet sensation. 

– 

Her current life was what she had always dreamed of the man she loved and her child were both with her, and it was comfortable and relaxing. 

But there was still Symeon, like a ticking time bomb. She couldn’t shake off the feeling that Symeon might surprise Elias at any moment.

Casey arrived at Galaxy Bay very early. As soon as she entered, she saw Symeon preparing to leave with Dulcie, who seemed ready for an outing, with a small backpack on her back. 

“Are you taking her to kindergarten?” 

“Yes, you 

don’t need to come over to take care of her today. Go back,” Symeon replied, holding Dulcie in his arms, exuding a burst of fatherly warmth. 

Dulcie extended her little hand and greeted Casey, “Good morning, Miss Casey. I’m much better today. I’m going to kindergarten, and I want to play with Aiden.” 

“Oh, I see,” Casey replied. 

Symeon, holding Dulcie, walked past her, planning to leave. Casey followed, saying, “Let me come along. I won’t be a bother; I’ll just help you drop Dulcie off at kindergarten.” 

Symeon ignored her, not wanting to lose his temper in front of the child and tarnish hist image as a father. 

During the drive, Symeon remained silent. Casey and Dulcie chatted in the back seat, engaging in whispered conversations. Symeon didn’t attempt to join their conversation and instead focused on driving. 

After half an hour, they finally arrived at the kindergarten, and the three of them got out of 

the car. 

When the kindergarten teacher saw Dulcie, she happily greeted her, “Hello, Dulcie! You’re finally here at kindergarten. I and the other kids have missed you a lot. Are you feeling better. now?” 

Dulcie walked over and shyly replied, “Thank you, teacher. I’m much better now, and I’ve missed you all too.” 

After leading Dulcie into the classroom, the teacher turned to Symeon. “Don’t worry, Dulcie’s dad. We will take good care of her.” 

Symeon glanced into the classroom and instructed, “Dulcie has a sensitive stomach, so please give her light and non-greasy food.” 

“Okay, you and Dulcie’s mom can rest assured. We will take good care of Dulcie.” 

Dulcie’s mom? 

Symeon and Casey exchanged glances, and before Casey could speak, Symeon coldly said, “She is not Dulcie’s mother,”

Casey felt a bit awkward, finding this man incredibly petty. 

The teacher also looked embarrassed. “I’m sorry; I thought she was Dulcie’s mother.” 

“Well, take good care of Dulcie. We’ll be on our way,” Symeon concluded, then turned and left. Casey looked back into the classroom with lingering worry before departing reluctantly. 

Outside the kindergarten, Symeon, with an emotionless expression, said to her, “Take a cab back by yourself. I have to go to the office.” 

“Hey, are you really so ungentlemanly that you won’t even give me a ride? It’s rush hour and it’s not easy to get a cab.” 

“So what? It’s not my concern. You can take the subway.” 

Symeon had already gotten into the car and was fastening his seatbelt.

Casey, however, couldn’t resist being sarcastic and snarky. “If it were Amanda, you’d probably be eager to offer her a ride, right?” 

The man paused for a moment, then let out a heartless chuckle. “What do you
