The Lawyer’s Romance in Law

Chapter 356 Thank You for Still Being Willing to Love Me

Elias was about to speak, but Amanda continued, “No indecent questions. I won’t answer them.”

that, Elias chuckled under his breath. “What indecent questions do you think I’d ask? What do you keep in that little head of yours, Bailey?”

Oh, am I in the wrong now? Would I have gotten such ideas if you never behaved so shamelessly?!

“Cut the crap and get to asking. I don’t have time to waste with you here,” said Amanda, becoming impatient.

However, Elias’ smile grew increasingly intense as he propped his hands on both sides of the couch, trapping the young woman within his embrace. His dark eyes turned serious as he asked solemnly, “Tell me, after four years of absence, do you still have feelings for me?”

“Does it even matter anymore? Can’t you ask something more substantial?”

“Answer me. I want to know!” Elias pressed on, his fathomless eyes fixed on her.

At that, Amanda turned her head away and replied, “No. I have no feelings whatsoever, only resentment for your heartlessness four years ago.”

However, Elias chuckled and continued, “Since you’ve returned, I’ve slept with you many times against your will and succeeded every time. Do you not feel anything? If you didn’t, I wouldn’t have succeeded so easily.”

“So? It’s just a normal physiological response.”

“No.” Elias purposely leaned closer, looking at her delicate face. “You feel something, deeply. You just don’t want to admit it.”

“If meaningless questions are all you want to ask, keep them to yourself. I don’t want to answer any of it.” It wasn’t that Amanda didn’t want to answer the questions but that she couldn’t face her heart, let alone speak the truth.

“Answer me, Amanda. Do you still love me?” Elias asked while drawing her chin toward his face.

He knew Amanda loved him deeply in the past, but now, he wasn’t sure anymore.

Amanda, while staring at his raven-black eyes, was just about to deny it when Elias warned. sternly and said, “Think twice before answering. I want the truth. Don’t forget that you’re still strapped to the lie detector.”
