The Lawyer’s Romance in Law

After that heavy conversation, Elias and Amanda fell into silence once more.

Then, he slowly rose to his feet. “You should rest. I’m going home.”

“Hey…”

Amanda called out to him, and he turned around. “What else do you want to say?”

“I… I–It’s nothing. Just be careful on the way back. If possible, I still hope you would consider allowing me to lead the team while you give your orders within the country. I don’t want you to take any unnecessary risks.”

It wasn’t surprising that they were captured, but locking them in a villa was rather unexpected.

Symeon looked up at the bodyguard. “Why did you lock them in my brought them back out of the kindness of my heart?”

He obviously brought this woman back to interrogate her.

“I will take them to the secret room underground.”

“Yes.”

Then, Symeon looked at the butler beside him. “What about Aiden? Is he asleep?”
