The Lawyer’s Romance in Law

Chapter 32 An Unfortunate Coincidence, Running Into Elias. With Aiden

Elias returned to his desk and snubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray filled with cigarette butts.

Suddenly, he laughed self-deprecatingly.

What has gotten into you, Winters? You two have been divorced for four years. Why does it upset you so much that your ex-wife has gotten herself a boyfriend? Is it because Nicholson looks absolutely unreliable? Yes, that must be it. Amanda used to be my wife, in any case. I can’t just sit back and watch as she falls into a pit, can

I?

Thinking back now, Elias was a bit impulsive at the dinner table. No doubt Amanda felt humiliated when he revealed her abortion in front of Simon.

It was his phone. He looked at the caller ID and found it was Grace. However, he didn’t feel like answering it.

Even so, the ringtone continued blasting, urging him to pick it up.

Eventually, Elias answered it, impatience evident in his voice. “Shoot.”

“Alright. I want to visit my brother at the cemetery tomorrow. You’ll go with me, won’t you? It’s been a while since you last visited him too.”

Elias knew Grace was deliberately reminding him not to forget his promise, and he massaged his forehead, saying. “I’ll pick you up tomorrow. Rest early.”

“Alright. You don’t stay up too late, either. Try and take a nap when you can.”

“Sure.”
