The Lawyer’s Romance in Law

Chapter 31

Chapter 31 You’re Home Alone?

In the front passenger seat of Simon’s car, Amanda grew increasingly enraged as she looked out the window at the passing nightscape. That son of a b*tch will really do anything to humiliate me!

Simon, who was driving, saw her anger and chuckled. “Still mad?“

“What?” It was only then that Amanda snapped out of her thoughts. “No, I just feel embarrassed that you had to see that.”

She just wanted Simon to help her get through an awkward situation. Never in a million years would she have thought that Elias would show up and even humiliate her at every chance he got.

“I’m just surprised he’s your ex-husband.”

Never had he expected Elias to be Amanda’s ex-husband, for it seemed to him that the two had no connection whatsoever.

At that, she laughed self-deprecatingly. “You’re wondering how the Winterses ever took an interest in a woman like me and why Elias would agree to marry me when we’re from two different worlds, no?”

“Quite the contrary, Simon refuted, causing Amanda to look quizzically at him.

“Elias is a known libertine scion in the circle. I’m just surprised you’d marry him. Is he your type?”

All this while, Simon thought Amanda was into mature men, but to think she would marry a libertine scion like Elias,

His question stumped Amanda for a second. Is he my type? Maybe. She still remembered how her face flushed crimson and her heart raced wildly when she first saw Elias.

He was in a suit and tie, and he was displeased with Howard’s forced marriage arrangement. Still, he married her for Howard’s sake.

“Did you two marry out of love?” Simon rephrased, seeing that she didn’t answer him.

“No.” Amanda looked out the car window and answered casually. “He doesn’t love me. It was a forced marriage by his grandfather.”
