The Lawyer’s Romance in Law

Chapter 344 Crispin’s Scheme

Having said that, Elias exited the dining hall without casting a backward glance or bidding farewell. It felt as though he was purposefully avoiding her presence.

Rosie’s gaze fell upon the barely touched food on the table. Does he truly need to depart in such haste? Am I some kind of monstrous being? Am I genuinely that repugnant to him?

At the Allegra Villa, Amanda found it hard to drift off to sleep at her birth parents’ house.

Meanwhile, Aiden, that mischievous little boy, had fallen into a peaceful slumber. Jack had spent quite a while entertaining his grandson tonight, leaving the little one fatigued.

Amanda observed the peacefully sleeping child. She gently covered him with a blanket before venturing out of the bedroom with unhurried steps.

She had intended to take a solitary walk in the garden. To her astonishment, she stumbled upon Edith wrapped in a coat, standing beneath the moonlit sky.

“Mrs. Alle-” Amanda hesitated, feeling that the formal address was inappropriate. Opting for a more intimate term, she called out, “Mom, what brings you out here?”

Upon hearing her voice, Edith turned around and greeted her with a smile. “You can’t sleep too? I suppose I’m too excited. I couldn’t fall asleep tonight, so I decided to take a walk.”

“I guess I’m just not used to the bed, so I can’t sleep,” Amanda said.

Edith walked over and settled onto a wicker chair. “Join me, my dear. Let’s have a chat, just us mother and daughter.”

Amanda gracefully took her place on the opposite chair, relishing the caress of the gentle breeze against her cheeks. The garden exuded a delicate fragrance, lending a pleasant ambiance to the moment.

‘Don’t let your dad fool you with his early slumber. He, too, was brimming with excitement today, eagerly anticipating this moment for quite some time,” Edith remarked.

Amanda offered a gentle smile but remained silent.

Edith continued, “These past years, you have endured so much. Your dad informed me about the hardships you faced under your adoptive father’s mistreatment, and how he consistently demanded money from you. Is that true?”

As she spoke, her eyes shimmered with genuine concern.
