The Lawyer’s Romance in Law Chapter 126

Chapter 126 You’re Amazing, Amanda Bailey 

W-What’s going on? Mommy? Didn’t she say that she had aborted the baby! Then, whose child is this? Elias stared at the boy’s face for a few seconds. His body turned rigid and time seemed to have stopped moving. This brut looks exactly like a mini version of me! 

Aiden hugged Amanda’s legs tighter when he caught sight of the shock in Elias eyes and said in his baby voice, “I need to pee. Mommy. I can’t hold it anymore. I can’t possibly wait in the car forever! I really can’t hold it in anymore.” 

Right now, no words could describe how awkward Amanda felt, but the first thing she had to do was to take care of her son’s situation. “Do you need to pee? Go in quickly and look for Miss Selina. Don’t pee in your pants.” 

She shoved him gently toward the steps, and he glanced at her. “What are you playing with this man here? Aren’t you coming in together? Who’s this man? He looks so familiar- 

“Oh, for goodness’ sake, child. Aren’t you in a rush for the toilet? Run along now. If you wet your pants, I’ll tell your teacher about it tomorrow.” When she saw the stunned and dazed look on Elias face, all she wanted to do was get Aiden into the house as quickly as possible. Alas, her son was clearly the human form of the question mark with his endless nattering. My god, this is so embarrassing… 

“Okay!” Aiden took a look at Elias on the ground and dashed up the steps leading into the house. 

Elias sprang to his feet, his eyes never leaving the child’s retreating figure. However, he staggered because his legs were numb from kneeling too long. Amanda instinctively reached out and helped him steady himself. 

He raised his head and met her guilty eyes. “Amanda, you’d better f*cking explain to me what’s going on! Don’t tell me that’s Simon’s child because he looks exactly like me!” 

Regardless, she had no intention of allowing Elias into her home as she jerked her head to the side and stopped him from barging into the house. “Don’t go in. You’ll scare him.” 

“Then, tell me what’s going on! Whose child is he?” Although he already knew the answer, he still wanted to hear it from her lips. 

“Well… It’s just as you saw,” she mumbled. “I didn’t abort the baby back then and gave birth to him.” 

He was so furious that he glared at her so fiercely that he was about to swallow her whole with his eyes alone. A mix of emotions swelled in his chest-excitement, surprise, and most of all, rage. 

This woman actually fooled him for such a long time, and after her return to the country, she even lied to him that she had aborted the baby, making him so sad that he set up a tombstone for his unborn child. But now, it hit him that Amanda was a heartless woman, and it was all he could do to stop himself from crushing her to pieces. 

You’re amazing. Amanda Bailey. How can you lie to me for such a long time, telling me that you’ve aborted the baby? Are you worried that I’ll fight for his custody from you! You made me look like an idiot setting up an empty tombstone for my child! How did you manage to visit your child’s tombstone with me and still feel nothing?” He had the urge to choke her to death, thinking How can this woman be so heartless? 

At the mention of that empty tombstone, Amanda felt her temper flare as she snarled, “The checks of you to bring that up! Get that tombstone removed right away! You’re just cursing my son with it, aren’t you? I told you not to set up the tombstone, but you refused to listen to me. Whom are you blaming now? Just the thought that the tombstone was still standing in the cemetery made her uneasy because her beloved son was hale and hearty. 

Meanwhile, he simply chuckled and shouted in frustration, “Blame? Should I be the one to blame, then? Would I have set up that tombstone if you had told me that the child is alive? You’d better come clean right this instant. How long do you plan to keep me in the dark if I haven’t seen him with my own two eyes today?” 

Tve never wanted you to find out about hi- 

Then, he cut her off mid-sentence as he couldn’t suppress his ire any longer, “Amanda! Do you plan to let my son acknowledge Simon as his father? So, the child you asked me to look for during those days isn’t his child but mine, actually. You still refused to tell me that he’s mine even when you begged me to save the child! How many times have I missed meeting my child? How could you be so evil?” 

Evil? Did he just call me evil? she thought and laughed out loud; her laughter was anything but mirthful. “I’m the evil one, huh? You’ve definitely lost all your conscience by accusing me of such claims, Elias Winters! You’re the one who didn’t want this baby back then, and I did plan to abort him, but I regretted it right before the surgery and kept him instead. Furthermore, I went to the checkups, gave birth, and raised him alone for the past four years. How is he related to you? What gives you the right to take him from me so easily?” 

She was filled with nothing but grievances whenever the topic of how she waded through life as a single mother for the past four years. There was no way she could accept it if she returned Aiden to the Winters Family just like that when she had gone through all those trials and tribulations just to raise her son alone. 

Suddenly, Elias calmed down and seemed a little heartbroken to see how mad and aggrieved she was. Time passed by, and the rain gradually lightened, which rendered the umbrella useless. 

“Thank you for keeping this child,” he said solemnly. 

When he saw that brat earlier, he thought that he was dreaming. How could a little boy look just like me?This is how my child will look if I have one, he thought. All of a sudden, he thought that he was hallucinating until he saw that brat hugging Amanda’s legs and calling her ‘Mommy. His heart was galloping so fast in his chest that he could hardly breathe. 

The affectionate expression he was wearing made her soft-hearted again. I’ve been soft-hearted toward him too many times in the past. Not anymore! she warned herself. “Stop apologizing because you won’t be able to change my mind. I won’t ever allow you to have custody of my child, so you 

can stop dreaming about & Also, I’ve already agreed to Simon’s propod and my baby is very fond of him and wants Simon to be his father. So, ngh- 

She wanted him to give up completely, but halfway through, he suddenly pulled her into his arms forcefully and took her lips into his own, stopping her from finishing her sentence 

As she was not expecting that he would kiss her forcibly, she widened her eyes in shock and stared at his gorgeous face, which was just inches away from hers, slapping his chest with her palms “Eliss Winters, let me go! What are you doing? Get off me!” 

Unfortunately, he merely deepened the kiss, and it got more passionate over time, as though he wanted to make her part of him. He eventually released her when they were both breathless and panting from the kiss. Then, he rested his forehead against hers, uttering each word seriously. “You should be the one who should stop dreaming. Amanda. I won’t let another man have my woman and my child. You know how I am” 

Tve already given him my word and there’s no other choice now. Everything is too late!” Although her cheeks were flushed and she was still gasping for air after the kiss, she tried to shove him away. Alas, her strength was nothing in the face of his as he merely tightened his arms around her. 

“It’s useless. You can forget about marrying Simon as long as I’m alive. Try me if you don’t believe me.” He held the back of her head with his palm, forcing her to stare into his resolute yet 

domineering eyes.
