The Lawyer’s Romance in Law novel Chapter 82

Chapter 82 Broken Headlights

Amanda found Elias’ phone number in her contacts and dialed it, but no one answered

She kept trying a few more times but to no avail.

The rain outside was pouring harder and harder.

Where could Elias be? Why can’t I reach him?

For some reason, even she started to worry about Elias disappearance. Although he was a grown man and there was no reason for him to go missing, she couldn’t be certain about anything at the moment.

“Mommy, I’m hungry! Is dinner ready? I’m starving!”

Aiden couldn’t bear the hunger any longer and ran to the kitchen, whining adorably.

“Oh.” Amanda snapped back to reality when she heard that. “It’s done. You and Mr. Bodyguard can have dinner at home. I have something to do, but I will be back soon.”

As she placed the dishes on the table and filled two plates with pasta, she went outside and instructed the bodyguard, “Please eat with Aiden. I have something to take care of.”

The bodyguard had no objections and simply replied. “It’s raining outside, Miss Bailey. Please come back

Thank you. Please take good care of Aiden. Don’t let him out of your sight for even one second,” she emphasized once again.

The bodyguard nodded. “Don’t worry.”

“Mommy, where are you going? I want to go too! Don’t leave me at home. I want to go too!” Aiden hugged Amanda’s slender legs like he was a koala.

Feeling a little helpless, Amanda kneeled and patiently explained. “I have an urgent matter to attend to. What about I accompany you when I come back, hmm? I’m not going out to have fun.”

“Ugh… Fine. I’m hungry now, anyway. I don’t have time to go with you!” Aiden huffed before obediently getting on a chair at the dining table to eat his dinner.

Amanda glanced at the bodyguard in the dining room and felt somewhat reassured.

She then returned to her bedroom upstairs, changed into a different outfit, and grabbed an umbrella before leaving the house.

Once she drove out of Galaxy Bay, she had a bewildered look on her face. She had no idea where she should start looking for Elias.

Amanda continued dialing his number, but she couldn’t get through since no one answered.

She called the Winters Estate again, and the butler quickly answered and eagerly asked. “Miss Bailey! Are there any updates? Did you manage to contact Mr. Winters?”

Chapter 82 Broken Headlights

From the sound of it, it seemed that even the butler had no clue where Elias might be.

“No. You still haven’t found him? Where could he possibly be when it is raining so heavily outside?”

“I’m afraid I don’t know. All I know is that Mr. Winters was busy whipping up a feast to celebrate his birthday. I don’t know why we suddenly can’t reach him. It has been five to six hours. I’m really worried. that something might have happened to him.”

“Stop thinking negatively. I’m sure he is fine. Maybe he got caught up with something at the very last minute. I’ll go to the company and check.” That was what Amanda thought. After all, considering how Elias was always occupied with work, he might have some business to attend to.

But the butler on the other end of the line explained, “I already called the company earlier. They said that he is not there. I’m genuinely worried that Mr. Winters had a car accident on the way. If something did happen right when it was raining so heavily, it would be difficult for anyone to notice him. Just like what happened to the chairman years ago—”

Boris abruptly stopped mid-sentence when he realized that he had said the wrong thing-

However, Amanda found out something important from Boris words. Was Elias’

father in a car accident?

However, she had no time to worry about things like that now. All she wanted to do was find Elias as quickly as possible.

“Don’t worry. I’ll go and look for him again while I keep calling him.”

After ending the call, Amanda decided to retrace the route from here to Galaxy Bay. If something had really happened to Elias’ car halfway, she would surely come across it.

She kept calling, but not once were her calls answered.

The rain that grew heavier poured onto the windshield like a cascade of water, making it almost impossible to see the road ahead. Fortunately, the Winters Estate was located in a suburban area, and there weren’t many vehicles on the road.

Amanda deliberately slowed down the car, both for safety reasons and to check if Elias’ car was anywhere along the way.

There was no one in sight on the road she drove. In fact, it would make more sense for there to be no one who drove in this terrible weather.

Her confidence started to falter when she had almost reached the entrance of the estate and still hadn’t noticed anything unusual.
