The Lawyer’s Romance in Law

Chapter 162 My First Love?

Meanwhile, Amanda sat behind her desk in the office, studying some case files. Suddenly, the phone rang. She glanced at it and saw it was Elias calling. That’s weird. Elias rarely calls me recently. Or, should I say he doesn’t call me at all? So, why is he calling me out of the blue?

As the thought of her accidentally calling Elias last night made her feel exceedingly awkward, she hesitated for a few seconds before deciding to answer the phone. Instantly, Elias’ deep and familiar voice sounded, “Are you busy?”

“Yeah. I’m at the law firm. What’s wrong?” Amanda asked. Why do I feel somewhat nervous talking to Elias now? What the hell is wrong with me?

Elias cut to the chase and stated his purpose, “I will take Aiden to Universal Studios later in the afternoon, and I will send him back right after the trip.”

“I thought you said you would go there with him after he completed the puzzle. It’s not good to spoil Aiden like this. He will make it a habit in the future. He will think that you will say yes to any request of his as long as he butters you up-”

Elias abruptly interrupted Amanda before she could finish her sentence. “Aiden has completed the puzzle. Didn’t you see it?”

What? Aiden has completed the puzzle!? Amanda was dumbfounded after she heard what Elias said. When did that little brat become so strong-willed? Usually, he would procrastinate whenever I asked him to tidy up his toys. Yet, he actually completed the puzzle in two days!

Amanda couldn’t even find the words to describe what she was feeling right now. “Aiden can be very focused on completing his task if you grasp the right approach.”

Frankly, she was at a loss for words. She didn’t understand why she felt that Elias, who had never raised a child, was more experienced than her.

“Okay, then. You can take Aiden to Universal Studios, but don’t get too carried away to the point of forgetting the time.”

“I know, I know,” Elias hummed.
