The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 540 Let’s Each Take What We Need Then!

Symeon stood at the top of the stairs, watching Amanda as she left the house. After she had gone, he turned slowly.

As he turned, he happened to spot Casey emerging from around the corner in the hallway. He paused for a moment, his brow furrowing in surprise.

Casey walked toward him, and Symeon asked, “What are you doing here?”

“I went to check on Dulcie. She’s asleep.”

“Right, if there’s nothing else, you can leave. I’ll take care of Dulcie,” said Symeon before heading to Dulcie’s room. However, Casey let out a disdainful chuckle. “To think the future. heir of the Lawrence Family would stoop so low and do something so shameless.”

Symeon stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Casey, utterly perplexed. “Shameless? Explain yourself.”

What have I done?

Casey turned away from him and, facing his bewildered expression, said slowly, “Falling for someone else’s wife and having a secret rendezvous with her here. It’s incredible that you could do something like this. And don’t forget your daughter, Dulcie, isn’t feeling well.”

Casey couldn’t contain her anger. How could she trust someone like this irresponsible father with Dulcie? She was determined to fight for custody and would never leave Dulcie with such a deadbeat.

Symeon was momentarily stunned but quickly understood Casey’s misunderstanding. He chuckled. “You saw Amanda, and that’s why you think I’m having a secret meeting with her here?”

“Isn’t that the case? The facts are right in front of me. I just can’t understand why someone of your status, who can have any woman you want, would fall for Elias’ wife. What’s wrong with you?”

She felt sorry for Elias. He loved his wife so much, and if he found out about today, it would break his heart.

Symeon didn’t feel the need to explain himself further to Casey. After all, he had no future with her, and there was no point in explaining.

“Think whatever you want. I’m going to see my daughter now. If you want to stay here, go ahead. I’m keeping you around because Dulcie likes you. But if you continue to be annoying. get lost. I don’t have time to listen to your nonsense.”
