The Lawyer’s Romance in Law

Chapter 106 We’re Through, I Guess

A fit of dizziness forced Elias to lie down again. As he leaned back on his sickbed, panting, he sank into deep regret. Why was I so impulsive back then… Staring at his phone’s screen, he couldn’t help but dial Amanda’s number again and again, but he couldn’t get through to her at all. Blood stained his chin red, making him look even paler.

In the Galaxy Bay villa area, Amanda was bathing Aiden in the bathroom.

Aiden, on the other hand, had been studying her expression. He couldn’t help feeling that something was odd about his mother, for she spoke very little today. “Mommy, are you unhappy today?”

After hearing her son call her, she returned to her senses and summoned up a smile. “Hmm? No, I’m not. I’m just a bit tired from work, probably.”

“Oh… You should go to bed early, then. You don’t have to tell me bedtime stories tonight, Mommy. I can go to sleep by myself.”

Seeing how sensible her baby boy was, Amanda broke into a grateful smile. “What a good boy you are, Baby! Come on, stand up and dry yourself before we blow your hair dry.”

He stood up to let her towel him dry. After that, she wrapped him in his own little bathrobe and lifted him up in front of the bathroom sink.

Looking at her son’s little face, which resembled a certain man’s more and more, Amanda got a bit worried again deep down. Tentatively, she asked, “Baby, do you really want a father?” She knew how the father played a crucial role in the upbringing of a little boy, but she got thoroughly disappointed with Elias after today’s incident at her office. There was no way she would let her son return to the Winters Family.

Aiden fixed her with those adorable puppy eyes of his. For a long while, he didn’t say a word, as if there was something on his mind.

“What’s the matter? Just go ahead and say it.”
