The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 88 Amanda’s Anger

Elias narrowed his eyes slightly. He might not have known what Amanda had said, but he sensed that it was extremely important.

“Really? Don’t lie to me.”

I’m not. The situation was so urgent, and I was in a mess, plus you were bleeding so much. I was afraid that you might faint again which would make you lose a lot of blood, so I had to think of a way to keep you awake all the way to the hospital.”

She tried hard to maintain a sincere expression, but he still looked suspicious, so she changed the subject instead. “Oh, where’s Grandpa? He stayed here the entire night, insisting on watching you wake up. Why has he left?”

“I don’t know.” Elias refused to say that his grandfather had gone off to see a fortune teller again.

Amanda looked at her watch. “Rest well, then. I have to go to work. I’m nearly one hour late already.”

She was about to get up when he caught her wrist, and she turned to glance at his hand. “What? Do you want anything else? Just call Yacob since he’s been waiting outside the entire time. You should give him a pay raise since he’s so loyal to you.”

Elias stared at her for a long while as if hesitating

“Are you going to say anything? If there’s nothing. I have to go to the law firm since I’m running very late.” Amanda was about to remove her hand, but he held it tighter.

There was a conflicted look in Elias’ eyes before he eventually spoke. “I just wanted to check something with you. I hope that you will answer honestly,”

It might not have been so important to him anymore, but he had always been curious.

Amanda’s curiosity was piqued as well and she looked confused. “What is it?”

He considered it again, knowing that she would get angry if he mentioned it, though he really wanted to know about it. “I just want to know something. When did we…. sleep together four years ago? When was that child conceived?”
