The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 27 Simon Is Finally Returning

Later, the vehicle slowly came to a stop outside Lotus Waterfront. Just as Amanda was about to get out, Elías asked, “Have you really gotten yourself a boyfnend?”

“Sorry?” His question caught Amanda off guard.

“What I’m saying is if you have really gotten a boyfriend, you can bring him over to Grandpa and put an end to his attempts to set you up on blind dates,” said the man who secretly hoped Amanda didn’t actually have a boyfriend. In fact, Elias wanted her to personally deny it

“Got it. Amanda opened the car door, then suddenly recalled the wretched tombstone. At that. she turned around. “Is the tombstone really set in stone? No room for negotiations?”

“No.”

Amanda said nothing more. She got out of the car and headed straight into the compound while Elias stared at her retreating figure for a long time from inside his car.

Why would Amanda reject the tombstone so strongly? Can it be that she thinks our child doesn’t deserve a proper burial? But little did Elias know that said child was never forsaken. In fact, he was already three.

When Amanda arrived home, she found that Colette had already sent Aiden to kindergarten. As such, she decided to take a nap before heading to the law firm.

Just then. her phone rang, and she checked it out to find that it was an international call from Simon.

She answered the call immediately. “What can I do for you, Boss?”

A gentle chuckle escaped Simon and he asked, “It’s nearly 12.00PM back home, isn’t it? Have you had your lunch?”

As if she had the time to eat, thanks to the morning episode. Still, Amanda lied, “Yeah, I’ve eaten. Have you called me for something?”

“I may be coming back early. Someone will take over the things on my end.”

“Really? Congratulations!”

Aiden will welcome me back when I return.
