The Lawyer’s Romance in Law

Chapter 339 Don’t Go

Amanda almost fell asleep on the couch in the seaside villa. She was exhausted since she was. too afraid to close her eyes to sleep earlier.

Now that she was in a safe place, she finally let her guard down. However, the aroma of the freshly-cooked food reached her.

She slowly opened her eyes. As expected, a plate of pasta was set on the coffee table before her. Elias watched her as he sat off to one side. From the look on his face, she could tell it wasn’t his intention to wake her.

She rubbed her eyes. “You should’ve woken me.”

“You look tired,” Elias murmured. “I didn’t want to disturb you.”

“But I’m starving. The pasta will get soggy if you leave it like that. It’ll affect the taste.” At that, Amanda straightened her body and leaned in to smell the food. Her stomach immediately growled.

He shook his head. “It’s okay. I can make you another one.”

Her hand reaching for the fork paused when she heard that. Then, she loaded a small amount of pasta onto the fork and took a bite. It tasted rather bland. It seemed to her that he was thinking about her injury.

However, it was delicious. Maybe I’m just hungry.

Amanda finished the pasta within a few minutes. Even the garnish didn’t go wasted, proving her to be starving.

She drew a tissue paper to wipe the corners of her lips before beginning her story, “The pair who kidnapped me were staying in somewhere named River Inn. The environment is dirty. You should send your men there. The two might still be there.”

He hummed.

“Besides, Crispin was the one who asked me to go with him. However, he said he left something behind when we were halfway there, so he asked me to go to the banquet hall on my own before he walked away. I was knocked out halfway. It has to do with him, but I don’t understand how my decision affects him. I believe Stephanie is the person behind everything.”

Stephanie is responsible for this. Crispin has nothing against me. He’s doing this to please her.

Elias narrowed his eyes. Deep in thought, he didn’t reply to her.
