The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 532 You Must Be Seriously Crazy

Amanda was rendered speechless, unable to refute. It was true that Elias from before disliked her and always tried to avoid her.

Seeing her silence, Symeon asked a bolder question. “If you had met me first instead of Elias, would you have fallen for me?”

“What? Are you even hearing yourself?!”

Panic overcame Amanda suddenly, and she thought, He’s not interested in me, is he? Hell no, don’t!

The last thing she wanted was to get involved with a difficult big shot like him.

Symeon stared into her eyes and asked again, “If Aiden were really my child, and you were the woman I had a one-night stand with back then, how would you have chosen? Would you stay by my side like you do with Elias?”

Amanda widened her eyes. She truly hadn’t expected Symeon to ask such a question. It was insane; how could he even entertain such a thought?!

She took a step back and resolved not to visit and care for Dulcie in person anymore. She was genuinely scared.

“You must be seriously crazy,” she said, then immediately turned and got into her car to swiftly drive away.

Symeon, on the other hand, stood rooted to his spot, and a chuckle escaped him before letting out a deep sigh. He didn’t understand why he had acted this way.

He was mocking his own immaturity and the tragedy of encountering a woman like Casey.

Since childhood, he had always hoped to live in a happy and harmonious family. But his father’s repeated infidelity shattered his expectations for marriage. Now, with Dulcie, he hoped even more that she could grow up in a happy family. Unfortunately, he had crossed. paths with Casey, an irresponsible woman.

What Symeon didn’t know was that Casey had followed him to the kindergarten. She stood behind a tree and had heard nearly the end of their conversation, wearing a shocked expression that she couldn’t shake off.

So… Symeon likes this woman? And this woman was married, with a child? Oh my…

With a frightened expression, Casey turned and fled. She couldn’t believe the esteemed Mr. Lawrence, who seemed so aloof and indifferent to everyone, would actually fall for a married
