The Lawyer’s Romance in Law
Chapter 250

Chapter 250 Did You and Daddy Argue?

"Amanda, I do not mean that." The man frowned.

Amanda coldly snorted. "I realized that you guys really are something. What are you, your fiancée, and your future father-in-law up to? He asked me to draft a prenup, but she told me that you guys have a plan and that you love me. If I hadn't seen her look for you to try on the attire and thought about the way you protected me, I honestly would have believed everything."

The man was speechless, and he couldn't help but think that Stephanie was causing issues for him by doing stupid things.

As the tears welled up in Amanda's eyes, she continued, "Elias, I really don't know what the hell you want. What do you want? Is there something valuable within me?"

She never expected that the man could still replace something valuable within her; otherwise, why would he continuously torture her by giving her hope and disappointing her? "Mommy... Are you and Dad arguing?" Aiden looked up at her and asked softly.

Only then did Amanda realize that her son was still with her and that she should not argue in front of him.

"Nope. Daddy is busy with work, so let's head back first."

At that, she carried Aiden and left without even looking back. Jean also quickly rushed up.

When Elias saw that the door was closed, he wearily closed his eyes.

It wasn't long before the office phone rang.

He answered it, after which Jean's voice was heard. "Mr. Winters, it's time for the meeting. Please head over to the meeting room. Also, I'll send Miss Bailey off."

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Elias couldn't help but lean against the chair because the pain he felt caused him to grunt and frown.

He sat up straight again.

He never thought about using the sulfuric acid matter to force Amanda to accept him, but he merely reacted subconsciously.

Maybe Amanda was more important than he thought.

However, Elias had forgotten about the email in his inbox that contained the stimulated portrait of the Allegra Family's second daughter twenty years later. Since he was not in the mood to read the email, he gathered the documents and materials before heading out of the office.

At this moment, Stephanie was outside the office, playing on her cell phone.

The moment she saw him exiting, she quickly put her phone away and asked, "Your ex-wife... She's not mad anymore, I hope?" I saw her face earlier. She looks terrible.

Elias did not bother responding, so he walked straight for the elevators and prepared to head to the meeting room.

When Stephanie saw that he ignored her, she rushed after him. "Say something. I'm talking to you. Are you deaf or something?" Suddenly, the man stopped in his tracks.

She also followed suit and almost collided with him.

"You have forgotten what you promised me a long time ago."

"What did I promise you?" Stephanie was dazed since she couldn't think of anything after being frightened by his anger.

At the sight of her expression, Elias was furious and sneered in disdain.

"Looks like you have forgotten everything. It seems Crispin can forget about having a good life!"

His expression was dark as he entered the elevator after speaking.

Stephanie was taken aback before she realized, Why does he want to trouble Crisp again?

She hurried into the elevator, to which Elias scolded, "Get lost!"

"No!" She then pressed the close button before the elevator closed its doors.

So, there were two of them in the elevator. She stared at his flawless side profile. "What do you mean by that? What does this have to do with Crisp? Why are you looking for trouble with Crisp?" "Why?! Then, who permitted you to harass my ex-wife? Didn't I tell you to leave her and the child alone? Have you lost your mind?" Elias was furious and became even more annoyed at the sight of the woman in front of him.

If it had not been for his grandfather's lost company shares, he would not even have spared Stephanie a glance, let alone have anything to do with the Allegra Family.

"When did I harass your ex-wife? I haven't even spoken to her after that incident!"

Stephanie felt that she had been wronged. Why does he have such a bad temper? I really give Amanda the kudos for enduring his temper!

"Really? In that case, who told her that we had a plan and that I still loved her? If it's not you, then who could it be?"

Only then did she remember about the banquet last night and fell speechless.

That happened by accident at the banquet. I didn't even go looking for her on purpose.

"Do you remember it now? You have nothing to say, huh? That's why Crispin can forget about surviving tonight."

The elevator doors slowly opened with a ding.

Elias walked out while Stephanie panicked.

"Our encounter was by accident. I didn't go looking for her on purpose, and I wanted to help you too. I wanted to help you explain the situation to her so that she won't misunderstand you. You still love her, so why do you want to pretend that you don't give a shit? I—"

As she followed him, she continued speaking until he could no longer stomach it and interrupted, "That's enough!"

She was so stunned that she froze on the spot.

"You don't have to worry about my affairs. Who do you think you are? Stop meddling." With that, Elias turned and entered the meeting room.

Stephanie was left all alone as the tears swam in her eyes. Even as a little girl, no one had been this fierce toward her...

I feel so wronged. I just wanted to help Elias explain the matter...

She initially wanted to say something, but when she saw that Elias had entered the meeting room, she didn't want to interrupt his meeting.

At that moment, Amanda drove herself and Aiden back to their place.

Selina didn't cook dinner for them because she knew that they were out, so she only prepared herself a bowl of noodles.

When they arrived home, they saw Selina eating.

As Amanda was in quite a state, she weakly instructed, "Selina, I'll need to trouble you to give Aiden a shower after your meal."

"Sure, but what happened? You look so pale."

"It's nothing. I'm just a little tired." Amanda crashed on the couch as her mind replayed the scene of Stephanie asking Elias to try on the attire earlier.

She almost forgot that it was almost the end of the month, which meant that Elias would be getting engaged to the Allegra Family, and the marriage would soon be announced publicly.

Argh! Now that I think about my secret marriage, I'm really frustrated. We could only have a secret marriage when I married him, but the whole world knows about his marriage to Stephanie. Do I really deserve to be left in the shadows?

After all, it was still a case of being in unequal social positions, which was the reason why Amanda was in such a situation.

She thought, Just treat it as a dream. It's quite beautiful, though. It's just incredible that someone who had no relationship with me in the past could marry and have a child with me.
