The Lawyer’s Romance in Law

Chapter 25 Elias Erected a Tombstone for His Son

“Mom….” Tears welled up in Amanda’s eyes when she saw her mother’s tombstone.

At that, she looked up to force her tears back. She didn’t want to shed any tears in front of Elias. She didn’t want him to see her vulnerable side.

“This is proof that my child existed,” Elias muttered as he fixed his profound gaze on the empty tombstone, rendering Amanda speechless.

You’ve got to be kidding me! She, on the other hand, didn’t like this idea. After all, the little brat was alive and kicking at home. You… This… He…
