The Lawyer’s Romance in Law

Chapter 178 Howard Refuses to Hand Over Aiden.

Amanda was slightly startled. What do you mean? Grandpa wouldn’t go to such extremes, would he?

“You’re exaggerating. I don’t believe he would stoop to that extent-

Her words abruptly halted as Elias sneered contemptuously. “Do you think you comprehend my grandfather better than I do? When it concerns the Winters Family lineage, he’s more ruthless than anyone else.”

She fell silent. Although she had always known that Howard was eagerly awaiting Aiden’s birth, she contemplated whether he could be capable of such actions.

As night descended, Amanda and Elias planned to go to Winters Manor to pick Aiden up. Since the man had injured his foot, she took the driver’s seat this time, with him sitting beside her as a passenger.

While driving, her mind was consumed with thoughts of what to do if Howard refused to let her take Aiden home. Lost in her contemplation, she nearly ran a red light.

“Amanda, red light,” Elias indifferently reminded her.

She snapped back to reality and quickly stepped on the brake.

“Don’t lose focus while driving. It’s dangerous. Remember, it’s not just your sake but also Aiden,” he advised sternly.

She humbly accepted his advice and nodded in agreement. Although she was well aware of the dangers of losing focus while driving, she found it difficult to prevent her mind from wandering.

After forty minutes, the car gradually stopped outside Winters Manor. Amanda unbuckled her seatbelt and turned to Elias. “Do you need any assistance getting out of the car?”

Unfastening his seatbelt, he pushed open the car door and exited. “No need. I’m not that weak.”
