The Lawyer’s Romance in Law

Casey suddenly felt overwhelming sadness wash over her as she sat in the passenger seat, feeling utterly superfluous. She had given birth to this man’s child, yet in his eyes, she was inconsequential, as his mind was constantly preoccupied with someone else’s wife.

On the other hand, throughout the entire journey, Amanda had never cast a single glance at Symeon. Instead, she stared out the car window, lost in the passing scenery.

It was not until the car slowly stopped outside the Winters Enterprise office building that Amanda unfastened her seatbelt and uttered, “Thank you both for the ride. I’m heading off to find my dear husband now.” Her words were deliberate, as if she intended them for Symeon’s ears.

Upon watching Amanda walk away, Symeon looked at that slender figure and let out a cold, mirthless chuckle before stepping on the gas pedal and driving away.

Casey sighed as she could not bear it any longer. She looked at the man beside her and said, “You knew it was impossible from the start, so why all these petty tricks? Even if you give her a ride, what difference does it make? You could only spend half an hour together at most, and she didn’t even speak a word to you.”

The man’s face remained cold and indifferent. He dropped her off at her rented apartment and replied, “Mind your business. You should focus on winning this lawsuit. Even if Amanda is competent, if your biological father speaks a few kind words to you and you soften up, she won’t stand a chance.”

While this was meant as a reminder, Casey couldn’t help but hear the man’s deep concern for Amanda in every word, making her increasingly uncomfortable.

“I know. I won’t tarnish your beloved’s reputation!” With that, Casey slammed the car door and left while Symeon looked at her angry departure with an amused Jaugh. He was merely offering a kind reminder, so why was this woman so worked up?

Symeon resignedly shook his head, turned the car around, and drove away.

After Casey returned to her rented apartment, she found herself in a fit of jealousy, even though she knew she had no right to feel that way. However, her emotions were spiraling out of control.

She went to the bathroom and stood before the sink. The next moment, she turned on the tap and splashed cold water on her face, trying to snap out of it. She looked at her reflection in the mirror and realized how ugly her jealous expression looked.
