The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 19 A Lesson Taught

“Oh, come on. Do you think I have nothing else better to do than drive a wedge between you both? Keep your man in line and tell him to leave me alone. Amanda shuddered at the thought of Elias’ shameless act of forcing a kiss upon her in the meeting room the night before.

When everything is over, I’m going to take Aiden with me and head to someplace abroad once Simon is back, the lady thought to herself. She was determined to cut ties with Elias.

“Don’t worry. Elias will leave you alone. If Old Mr. Winters hadn’t gotten in our way, we would have gotten married a long time ago. Hmph!” Grace turned around and left the bathroom.

In the meantime, the little boy was waiting for his mother outside the restroom, and he caught sight of Grace walking out the door angrily. When Grace left, she glanced at the boy beside her and stopped in her tracks for a while, finding him somewhat familiar. Have I seen this brat somewhere before? For some reason, he reminds me of someone.

When Aiden realized the lady was staring at him, he only grunted coldly and looked the other way. Meanwhile, Grace didn’t dwell on it any longer as she quickly moved on and made her way toward Elias, but little did she know that the child was the son of the man she loved.

A few seconds later, Amanda came out of the restroom and saw her son waiting for her obediently. “Let’s go, Aiden. We’re going to grab something to eat at the cafeteria over there.”

“Sure, but I’m not having a kid’s meal.” The boy looked at Amanda with a skittish expression on his face, acting like someone arrogant yet familiar to his mother.

Suddenly, Amanda stopped in her tracks when she saw a familiar silhouette. It turned out that she had spotted Grace walking into the cafeteria with a man who looked like Elias. In that instant, her eyes widened in disbelief. Damn it! That’s Elias. What am I going to do now? What if he sees my boy?

“Mommy, can we hurry up? I’m getting hungry now.” Aiden seized Amanda’s hand, his stomach growling desperately after playing for a few hours.

“Baby, why don’t we dine somewhere else? Let’s call it a day for now. I’ll promise to bring you back here again.” The only thing that Amanda had in mind was to leave the place with Aiden, for she knew it would be over for her if Elias saw her son. After all, she would be no match for him in court due to the Winters’ influence and power.

Aiden was angry as he pouted bitterly. “Hmph! You’re making empty promises, Mommy. You said we’d be here until night, so I’m going to eat here and continue playing after that. I haven’t had enough yet!”

“But you’ve already played for hours, and I’m getting tired.”

“Well, you can rest in the cafeteria, Mommy.” Aiden was adamant and determined to do what he wanted, reminding Amanda of his father.

Knowing that she couldn’t change her son’s mind, Amanda came up with an idea. “Alright. Wait
