The Lawyer’s Romance in Law

Chapter 26 Howard Set up a Blind Date for Amanda to Intentionally Provoke Elias

“Grandpa… You….” Howard’s behavior left Amanda at a loss for words, unsure of what to do with him.

I really shouldn’t have left home today! Why has this grandfather-grandson duo decided to screw with me today!!

On the contrary. Howard was in seventh heaven as he got up and led Amanda to the dining table “Come, Amanda. You really are a sweet child,”

At that, the elder gazed disdainfully at his grandson and muttered, “Go on! Your business is done here. Go back to whatever you were doing and don’t be an eyesore. Amanda and I have something to discuss.”

Bewildered. Amanda looked to Elias, who was behind her. He then sat directly opposite her with seething rage. “Why have you tricked us into coming here?”

“Correction, I only asked Amanda to come. You invited yourself. I already said it over the phone, haven’t I? I want to set Amanda up with a fine young man,” Howard announced, deliberately aggravating Elias and making the latter frown in response.

“You’re being ridiculous!” he snapped.

Someone’s getting feisty… Howard chuckled inwardly. He knew his grandson still cared about Amanda; he was just unaware of it.

That said, Howard remained plain on the surface. “How is this ridiculous? I handed Amanda to you a few years ago, thinking you were a decent, responsible man, but look at what you’ve done to her! Look at how you bullied her! I’ve resigned to fate now. It’s fate that you two can’t be together, and I won’t force it on you two anymore. Since you can’t give Amanda the happiness she deserves, I’ll find her the man who can. It’s only then I can be at ease.”

While Elias was rendered at a loss for words, Howard turned to Amanda. “I know you don’t like him and have no intention of remarrying him. I won’t force you anymore, but I also know you’re lying when you say you have a boyfriend. Do you think I can’t tell? That’s why, my dear, I have to find you a good man you can rely on for the rest of your life.”

“Grandpa, I… It’s fine, really. I can look for one on my own. These things depend on fate.”

Amanda genuinely felt defeated. She couldn’t believe Howard did a one-eighty overnight. How can the elder want to set me up on a blind date now when he was still doing everything to have me and Elias remarry yesterday?!

“Don’t worry about it. We’ll just have a chat with him. If you think he’s not the one, we’ll move on to the next one. I have many fine men here, and I promise we’ll eventually find someone better than that rascal,” said Howard, not forgetting to roll his eyes at his grandson.
