The Lawyer’s Romance in Law

Just then, Colette brought juice and dessert over and saw that Amanda’s face didn’t look good, so she couldn’t help but ask, “Mrs. Winters, what’s wrong? Are you alright? Why do you look so pale?”

“I’m fine. I just suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable in my heart. It’s probably because I didn’t sleep well last night.”

Amanda shook her head. She didn’t know why her heart hurt a lot just now.

She looked at the time again and realized that it was almost 10 p.m., but Elias wasn’t home yet.

She then looked at Aiden, who was drawing, and said, “Aiden, take a break and have some juice.”

“Okay.”

Colette saw that her face was really pale and advised her, “Mrs. Winters, why don’t you go to your room and rest for a while? I’ll help Mr. Aiden take a bath and prepare for bed when he gets tired. Don’t stay up too late. Your health is more important.”

Amanda looked at Aiden and asked, “Is that alright? Can Mrs. Colette put you to sleep later?”

Although Aiden wanted her to put him to sleep, he chose to let Colette accompany him when he heard her say that her heart wasn’t feeling well.

“Yes, Mommy. You should go to sleep if you’re not feeling well.”

Amanda patted his little head and said, “Good boy, I’ll go lie down for a while. If you can’t sleep later, come find Mommy.”

“Okay.”

So, Amanda went back to her room alone, but she couldn’t fall asleep.

She didn’t know why her heart kept aching, as if it was trying to tell her something and Elias’ face kept appearing in her mind. She wanted to call and ask, but she was afraid that he must be busy.

Forget it, let’s not disturb him.

Then, she picked up the phone and called Boris to say, “Call me when Elias is back.”

“Yes, Mrs. Winters.”
