The Lawyer’s Romance in Law

Chapter 271 Reluctance

Amanda recalled the dinner during the ride home, she felt that the atmosphere was quite peaceful. It had been a while since she enjoyed that feeling; it was very comfortable.

Meanwhile, Aiden sat in the back of the car, nodding off. He no longer had the energy to bounce around.

Elias glanced at the reflection of his sleeping son in the rearview mirror, then at Amanda, who was in the passenger seat. He asked in a low voice, “How are you feeling tonight? Are you happy?

“Not bad.” She nodded, a faint smile gracing her lips.

The man smiled as well. He could sense that Amanda quite liked this home, and the father’s love she lacked was slowly being made up for.

All those years, because of her gambler of a father, she felt so ashamed that she couldn’t even hold her head up high amongst her peers. Now that she had discovered that her biological father was Jack, she probably felt a little better.

Elias wanted to say something else, but when he opened his mouth, he hesitated. Never mind, now was not the time to ask such things.

“Are you trying to ask if I would return to the Allegra Family?”

The man glanced at her, then answered truthfully, “Yes, I did. Still, it’s fine if you probably don’t want to

“I don’t know how to answer right now, either. We’ll see. She was already compromising a lot, for she truly yearned for the warmth of a family.

Ever since her foster mother passed away, Amanda never experienced the warmth of a family. She might as well scratch out the sc”mbag Dick from her list, for he only ever asked Amanda for money. The less said about him, the better, really.

The car slowly drove into the community and pulled up at Building Seven at Northern No. 1.

Amanda and Elias got out of the car, one after the other. The man picked up the little guy sleeping in the back seat, then the two entered the building.

However, unbeknownst to them, a black Maybach was parked in front of them, and Simon was in it..

Simon originally wanted to talk to Amanda, but he was caught off guard at the sight of this scene.

He gripped the steering wheel so tightly that veins started bulging, and he couldn’t help but let out a sneer.

Hah…
