The Lawyer’s Romance in Law novel Chapter 65

Chapter 65 This Little Brat Has Quite a Temper 

“Yes, don’t worry. You can count on me, but shouldn’t you send the first payment? I’ve been on the run with the child for nearly two days and a night. It’s getting more difficult for me to afford fuel after covering so much distance. This child has been quite troublesome throughout the journey. You have no idea how much risk I’ve taken. I came close to involving the cops several times.” 

Dick was not expecting any further payment at this point. His sole intention was to earn some money and leave. Besides, he would never abandon his grandchild in such a remote mountain ditch. 

“Alright, just wait. The money will be transferred soon.” 

He smiled foolishly and repeatedly agreed. “Yes, I’ll wait. I’m running low on fuel, so please hurry up, Miss Murphy.” With that, he ended the call and glanced at Aiden, who slept like a piglet in the back seat. 

Ding! 

A notification from the mobile banking app appeared, indicating that the money had been successfully deposited: 

Dick eagerly unlocked his phone and gazed at the seven-figure amount in his account. A laugh escaped his lips uncontrollably. “Haha… Finally, it’s mine. Our cooperation ends here. I’d never abandon my grandson. If anyone should be blamed, you’ve made the wrong choice.” 

Without hesitation, he blocked Grace’s number and threw the phone out the car window. 

At that moment, Aiden in the back seat woke up groggily, calling out in an innocent and gentle voice, “Grandpa… I need to use the restroom.” 

“Oh… I’ll pull over for you. Hold on. You have to hold it. Dick pulled the car over to the side of the road and lifted Aiden out of the car seat. 

“Grandpa, when will you take me to see Mommy? I miss her. I want her to tell me stories and tuck me in bed.” Aiden rubbed his eyes and gazed at Dick next to him. 

Dick patted his head. “Good boy, I’ll take you to see your mom soon. Everything is taken care of. Are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?” 

The blood relationship between them was remarkable. Dick had an unconditional fondness for Aiden and desired to provide him with all the wonderful things in the world. 

“I don’t want to eat. I want Mommy. It’s been so long since I’ve seen her…” Aiden pouted and appeared like a deeply upset child, with tears ready to fall at any moment. 

“Alright! Don’t cry. Hold back your tears! I’ll take you to see Mommy, I promise. Please don’t cry. I’m not very good at comforting kids. Dick was taken aback when he saw Aiden on the verge of tears. He had no experience in comforting children. 

At that, Aiden’s eyes immediately lit up. “Let’s go now, Grandpa! Hurry up!” With excitement, he turned around and climbed into the car’s backseat to sit obediently and even fastened his seatbelt. 

Dick found it both frustrating and amusing to witness this scene. What a clever kid. He even fastens his 

seatbelt. 

Aiden’s round, grape-like eyes darted around as if he had thought of something. He suddenly acted. adorably and exclaimed, “Grandpa, can I call Mommy? I miss her so much…” 

“Well… Maybe it’s not a good idea. I brought you out without telling your mommy, and she would be angry if she found our Dick could not possibly call Amanda now. If she found out he had kidnapped. Aiden, he would likely be sent straight to jail. 

Pouting, Aiden said sweetly, “Grandpa, I won’t tell Mommy that you took me out. I just want to let her know that I’m safe. It’s been a long time, and I’m sure she misses me too.” 

Tsk… This little brat is surprisingly sensible for a three-or-four kid. Dick took out his phone and handed it to Aiden. “Alright, go ahead and make the call. But I can’t remember her phone number. Do you?” 

“Yeah, I do.” With his chubby little hand, Aiden dialed a string of numbers-the ones Amanda had taught him to memorize. However, after he dialed, it prompted that the recipient’s phone was switched off. 

He let out a grumpy snort and tossed the phone aside. 

“Why did you throw the phone? What’s wrong?” Dick picked up the phone. 

“Mommy turned off her phone. She doesn’t care about me at all. Hmph! I’m angry!” Aiden turned his head. away, his little face filled with unhappiness. 

Dick muttered, “This little brat has quite a temper. Just like someone I know…” 

At 4.00AM, the buzzing of a vibrating phone startled Amanda, who was dozing off. She abruptly woke up and grabbed Elias’ phone, exclaiming, “There’s a call! There’s a call coming!” 

The man asleep on the bed jolted awake, sat up abruptly, and brought the phone to his ear. “Did you him?” 

find 

With anticipation, she stood beside him and closely observed his facial expressions, hoping to glean some information from them. 

He ended the call and turned to the nervous woman by his side. In a deep voice, he informed her, “We located the car. They’re on the highway to Imperia, and the men are attempting to intercept them. If all goes well, the child should be in that car.” 

“Really?! That’s great! Let’s go right away!” Amanda’s eyes sparkled with excitement, and she felt a sudden wave of relief wash over her. She realized that reaching out to Elias had proven to be the quickest method, even faster than she had anticipated. In other words, if they could intercept that car, I can see Aiden right away! 

Looking at her joyful expression, he sneered. “You can go by yourself. I don’t want to see that child. I have an important meeting today. I’ll take a flight back first.)
