The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 10 Come At Me With Your Grievances

you think I was provoking her now? Be a man to your woman so that she’ll stop interrupting my work!” She pushed him away and stormed out of the hospital. The solemn man sent a heavy punch into the wall. … Inside the VIP ward, when Grace opened her eyes, she saw Elias’ back while he stood before the French window. Smiling, she called out to him weakly, “Elias…” When he heard that, he turned around and approached the bed. “Amanda and I are divorced, so you have no reason to confront her.” She was taken aback. “Elias… I’m sorry. Are you mad at me?” He seemed displeased. “What do you think? Don’t you know about your condition better than anyone?” “I just don’t want you to contact each other anymore, but Amanda said she wants to get back with you and pester you. She wants to break us up. That’s why I was so worked up…” “That’s impossible,” Elias denied. Grace was shocked because she discovered that he had subconsciously believed in Amanda over her. She struggled to get up and acted like she was looking for something but was too weak to do so. Pushing her shoulders down, he asked, “What are you trying to do?” “Do you think I’m lying? I have a recording as proof! Amanda said those words herself and vowed to use Old Mr. Winters to accomplish her goal of getting back with you!” She grabbed her bag and took out her phone before playing the recording. She had expected Amanda’s reluctance to take the money and disappear, so she recorded their conversation in advance. With a skeptical attitude, Elias watched as she played the recording of their conversation, especially the part where Amanda said, “So what if I am?

That’s what Amanda said! I wasn’t telling lies!” Without saying anything, the man frowned deeply, lost in thought. Did Amanda return to remarry me and get back her place as Mrs. Winters? … Back at Lotus Waterfront, Amanda returned home after a busy day but could not find her son anywhere in the room. When the nanny saw her, she greeted Amanda. “Miss Bailey, I’ll get going since you’re home.” “Where’s Aiden? Why don’t I see him anywhere?” “Aiden is in his room, making a call, and he doesn’t want me to listen. Your child is so adorable. He’s like a little adult,” the nanny commented happily. Amanda could not hold back her smile either because her son indeed liked pretending to be a grownup. When she approached Aiden’s room, she heard his cute voice saying, “Uncle Simon, I missed you!” Uncle Simon? Is that little brat on the phone with my boss? Pushing the door open, Amanda saw Aiden, hiding in the corner with the phone, suddenly spring to his feet and quickly dash toward the balcony with his phone. While running, he yelled, “Mommy, don’t take away my phone. I wanna talk to Uncle Simon!” She was rendered speechless as she wanted to stop Aiden from disturbing Simon’s time. It was already tiring for him to work the whole day and still have to make time to chat with the little brat. Since the phone was on loudspeaker, they heard a man’s gentle and low chuckle. “Aiden,
