The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 30 Elias Is Jealous.

Not wanting to entertain him, Amanda snorted under her breath before taking a sip of the ice

Water.

Howard was beginning to feel troubled. He just wanted to finish this meal and go to bed.

The original plan was to have Amanda and Elias remarry eventually. Now, however, it was a different ball game. Amanda wasn’t lying when she said she had gotten herself a boyfriend!

Is there really no more hope between the two?

Howard still didn’t want to resign to fate. However, he couldn’t find any faults with Simon when he looked at the fine young man.

“Let’s eat, the elder announced absentmindedly.

Meanwhile, Elias continued to stare at Simon, and his gaze was one of staring at his love rival.

“Mr. Nicholson, have you known Amanda for long?” Grace initiated a conversation to ease the atmosphere.

“About four years,” Simon replied.

Four years? Elias frowned slightly. Amanda and I divorced just four years ago, and these two have already known each other for four years?!

“In other words, you two were already acquainted before we even divorced. Amanda, are you sure you haven’t cheated on me?” Jealousy filled Elias’ tone. How come I never caught any anomaly from her four years ago?

Livid, Amanda snapped, “Elias Winters, don’t make trouble out of nothing! I met Simon abroad after divorcing you!”

Meanwhile, Simon smiled silently and put a shrimp on Amanda’s plate after peeling it for her. “Here, have the shrimp while it’s hot,” he cooed.

However, his tenderness only made Elias scoff, for the way he saw it, Simon was being pretentious. As if you need to put on a show for others just to please a woman!

“Thank you.” Amanda beamed when she saw the peeled prawn.

Naturally, Howard only felt even more upset when he saw the interaction between Amanda and Simon, not to mention Elias’ arrogance.

Does this rascal even know how to court a woman? How can his emotional intelligence be so low?!

Unable to resist the urge to help his grandson, Howard spoke up, “Were you ever married, Mr. Nicholson?”
