Chapter 615 The Scene 

This is a courthouse. Everyone must go through two security checks before entering. He can’t bring in any weapons,Ashley said

She wasn’t too concerned about Roman. After years as a lawyer, she had encountered clients with even more extreme behavior

She added, You should go to the office for your meeting.” 

Elias didn’t want to leave. He lowered his head and said, Since I’m here, let’s have a celebratory meal after the trial is over. You’ve worked hard, Ms. Thornton.” 

Ashley looked up and saw her reflection in his eyes. The case isn’t even over yet. How do you know I’ll win?” 

Elias replied confidently, Because you’re Ashley Thornton.” 

Therefore, she would win

Ashley’s expression remained unchanged, but a close observer would catch a subtle smile at the corners of her mouth

I almost forgot I have something for you.Elias had been holding a tote bag, and Ashley had been wondering what was in it

As she looked down, she was surprised to see Elias take out a thermos

Elias started rambling. Inside is some tea, warm and ready to drink if you’re thirsty. And here are some sour plum candies. If you feel nauseous, just have one. I heard trials can last for hours. If you get hungry, eat these. And also this” 

Ashley was overwhelmed. She felt embarrassed. I’m going to court, not a field trip.” 

Wasn’t this a bit excessive

However, Elias didn’t care about other people’s opinions. After all, what was wrong with taking care of his wife

After handing all the items to Ashley, he added, There’s no law against drinking water in court.” 

He gently caressed her belly and said, with a tone of both persuasion and firmness, Be good, and don’t make things difficult for your mother.” 

Their baby was active and would constantly kick as if they were doing military drills in Ashley’s womb

Ashley pressed her lips together. Elias had promised to take care of her during her pregnancy, and he was indeed meticulous about it. She thought it wouldn’t be so bad if they could stay together forever

Ashley said softly, I have a prenatal checkup tomorrow. Come with me.” 

Elias raised his eyebrows. This seemed to be the first time she had ever reached out to him about their baby

With a smile, he said, Sure. I’ll arrange for it.” 

As the trial was about to start, Ashley didn’t say anything more. She handed the items back to Elias, keeping only the thermos, and took her place at the defense table

Elias sat in the audience and watched as Ashley placed the thermos on the edge of the table

He was reminded of a time when he stayed at her house, and she was so busy with her studies that she stayed in the dorm for several days without coming home. He missed her, so he once went to her university to catch a glimpse of her

Back then, she had worn blackframed glasses and had long, straight black hair. Her ethereal presence was captivating

On her desk sat a thermos, and as she took notes from the blackboard, she drank from it. Her lips would glisten with moisture

Little did he know that the scene would stay with him for a long time
