The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 536 Are You Particularly Afraid of Me Misunderstanding You?

Amanda couldn’t shake off the feeling that Casey was implying something and yet wouldn’t reveal anything. Is she expecting me to guess? But how can I possibly figure it out?!

At that, she shrugged in resignation and returned to Elias’ office, ready to have lunch with him as soon as he finished his meeting.

She waited in his office for over two hours before he returned. When Elias pushed open the office door, he saw Amanda sitting on the guest area couch, flipping through a financial magazine with boredom.

The irritation he had accumulated during the meeting dissipated upon seeing his beloved Amanda, and he smiled.

“Were you waiting for me? Hungry?”

Elias walked over and sat beside her, his arm naturally encircling her waist as he took the magazine from her hands.

Amanda met his intense, dark gaze as she replied, “That Miss Carter is quite strange. She told me not to let go of you and said otherwise, I would regret it. I feel like she had a hidden agenda in what she said.”

“Really? Did she say that?”

Elias found Casey’s words quite interesting. She not only helped clarify the misunderstanding but also spoke well of him.

Amanda nodded, wanting to gauge Elias’ reaction.

Unexpectedly, he chuckled. “Well, she’s absolutely right. You should cherish me properly, or you might regret it.”

“But her words seemed to imply something else. She seemed to suggest that she wasn’t your ‘outside woman’ and that you have other women outside. So, what I should be wary of isn’t her.” Amanda’s expression was serious as she spoke as if she had already gathered evidence.

Meanwhile, Elias’ charming smile gradually faded. Amanda’s teasing words seemed to have led them into an unexpected impasse, leaving him feeling somewhat helpless.
