The Lawyer’s Romance in Law

Chapter 34 Thanks for Your Concern, Mr. Elias

Simon looked at Amanda without saying anything.

She had a helpless smile and explained, “He thought that I got the child aborted four years ago, so he has no idea the child is still around. I don’t want him to find out because I’m worried he’ll

snatch the child from me.”

Simon had helped her a lot over the past four years, so she had to confess everything.

The man remained silent while listening to her patiently.

“I’m sorry. I asked for your help, but I didn’t tell you anything. You also witnessed such a farce at the Winters Manor yesterday. I…”

Amanda felt sorry at the mention of the embarrassing dinner the day before.

Finally, Simon parted his lips and said, “I understand you’re in a difficult situation, but do you want to hide the child from Elias forever? You won’t be able to do that, for he’ll find out sooner or

later.

“You have a point. That’s why I’ve decided to resign once the cases on hand are settled and head abroad with my child so that the Winterses will never discover his existence.”

She told Simon her plans in the hopes that he would support her.

Much to her surprise, the man said with a smile, “It took me a lot of effort to make you come back, and now you’re leaving.”

“I’m sorry, but I have no other choice…”

If Amanda stayed in Imperia, the Winterses would discover the child sooner or later. When that happened, she would fall into a predicament.

She believed the Winterses would snatch the child from her no matter what.

Simon picked up his cup and took a sip of tea. “Marry me and make Aiden my son. Start a new life. You can’t keep hiding the child forever.”

Instantly, Amanda was rooted to the spot, thinking that she had misheard him.

It never crossed her mind that Simon would tell her to marry him.

Amanda picked up her cup and looked away from
