The Lawyer’s Romance in Law

The next morning, Jack and Edith were having breakfast in the dining hall while the driver sent Aiden to school.

Amanda had to head to the law firm to check on the renovation progress, for she wanted to start working sooner. It felt terrible staying at home all the time.

Stephanie looked at Amanda, her gaze seemingly asking for help.

Amanda certainly understood her intentions, so she glanced at her sister and asked, “Are you sure you want to go on a honeymoon trip. Steph? That will be boring, and you must be exhausted from dealing with the wedding. Why don’t you get more rest instead?”

Stephanie, who was ready to agree with her sister, replied, “I-”

Before she could finish her words, Crispin cut her off. “Amanda, honeymoon is every woman’s dream after a wedding, so I don’t want to let Steph regret not having the trip in the future.”
