The Lawyer’s Romance in Law

When confronted with Amanda’s remarkably impolite behavior, Symeon surprisingly said nothing, as if he were condoning her actions.

Elizabeth watched as Amanda left, holding the child, then shifted her gaze to the man’s silent expression. Her frustration simmered within her.

“Symeon, please don’t tell me that this is the mother of your illegitimate child. Her words were infused with disdain, as if she were mocking his taste in women.

However, Symeon let out a soft chuckle and looked up at her. “Indeed, that’s the case. That child is also mine. If you can’t bear it, you can propose breaking off our engagement. I will cooperate with your decision. After all, I wouldn’t want to hinder your happiness for the rest of your life.”

With that said, he slowly rose from his seat, ready to leave the dining room.

Elizabeth stood there, dumbfounded. She had never expected Symeon to say such words, as if he genuinely didn’t care about her feelings.

She clenched her fists and followed behind the man. Despite her desire to curse in her rage, she still maintained the composure of a noble lady. “Symeon, you must know that our identities forbid us to casually mention breaking off the engagement. Neither my family nor yours would approve.”

“So what?”

“So, we can only get married,” Elizabeth’replied with a smile remaining on her face.

Symeon, however, sneered. “It’s precisely because of the challenge that we need to collaborate for mutual success. If you have a man you like, I can fulfill your wishes. There’s no need to waste your entire life tied to me. Let me make it clear. I won’t love any woman.”

“May I ask why?”

Elizabeth had long seen through Symeon’s cold and heartless demeanor, yet she couldn’t help but yearn for some special treatment within his heart.

Symeon came to a halt and looked at her. “There’s no why, and I’m not obligated to tell you.”
