The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 82 Broken Headlights

Amanda found Elias’ phone number in her contacts and dialed it, but no one answered

She kept trying a few more times but to no avail.

The rain outside was pouring harder and harder.

Where could Elias be? Why can’t I reach him?

For some reason, even she started to worry about Elias disappearance. Although he was a grown man and there was no reason for him to go missing, she couldn’t be certain about anything at the moment.

“Mommy, I’m hungry! Is dinner ready? I’m starving!”

Aiden couldn’t bear the hunger any longer and ran to the kitchen, whining adorably.

“Oh.” Amanda snapped back to reality when she heard that. “It’s done. You and Mr. Bodyguard can have dinner at home. I have something to do, but I will be back soon.”

As she placed the dishes on the table and filled two plates with pasta, she went outside and instructed the bodyguard, “Please eat with Aiden. I have something to take care of.”

The bodyguard had no objections and simply replied. “It’s raining outside, Miss Bailey. Please come back

Thank you. Please take good care of Aiden. Don’t let him out of your sight for even one second,” she emphasized once again.

The bodyguard nodded. “Don’t worry.”

“Mommy, where are you going? I want to go too! Don’t leave me at home. I want to go too!” Aiden hugged Amanda’s slender legs like he was a koala.

Feeling a little helpless, Amanda kneeled and patiently explained. “I have an urgent matter to attend to. What about I accompany you when I come back, hmm? I’m not going out to have fun.”

“Ugh… Fine. I’m hungry now, anyway. I don’t have time to go with you!” Aiden huffed before obediently getting on a chair at the dining table to eat his dinner.

Amanda glanced at the bodyguard in the dining room and felt somewhat reassured.

She then returned to her bedroom upstairs, changed into a different outfit, and grabbed an umbrella before leaving the house.

Once she drove out of Galaxy Bay, she had a bewildered look on her face. She had no idea where she should start looking for Elias.

Amanda continued dialing his number, but she couldn’t get through since no one answered.

She called the Winters Estate again, and the butler quickly answered and eagerly asked. “Miss Bailey! Are there any updates? Did you manage to contact Mr. Winters?”
