The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 114 Just You Wait, Elias!

Elias let out a chortle. “What does a man need shame for? Achieving our goals is what’s important.”

Amanda was thoroughly rendered speechless. Knowing that there was no way for her to

communicate with him nor was she bothered to waste her time with him, she decided to hang up on him.

However, the man on the other end suddenly piped up, “If you don’t want to be my legal advisor, come and reject the offer to my face or I’ll insist on my decision.”

“Just you wait, Elias!”

“What time are you coming over? I’m working overtime at the office, so I can wait a little longer for you.”

“Wait until I’m free. It may even be midnight. If you can wait for me in the office until midnight, I’ll definitely go over to see you.”

At that, Amanda immediately hung up. She didn’t believe for a second that Elias would wait for her in the company until it was midnight, and she resumed her work after hanging up.

Sitting opposite her, Aiden blinked his large eyes at the sight of her fuming appearance. “Mommy, who are you angry at?”

“I’m not angry. I’ll be done after you finish one more episode, and then we can go

home.”

“Okay!”

Amanda couldn’t help but smile at his adorable voice. At the end of the day, only this young boy was capable of drawing out a smile from her in an instant.

Hence, she had to keep him firmly by her side, and she would never give up his custody to a deadbeat father like Elias. He didn’t deserve it! In fact, he could go back to a fake b*tch like Grace all he wanted!

After finishing her work for the day, Amanda took Aiden back to Galaxy Bay. Then, she made a simple meal and helped him take a shower once they were done with their meal. By the time she coaxed him to bed, it was nearly 10.00PM.

Amanda headed downstairs to get a bottle of water to drink from the fridge, and it was then that she heard a sound from the door, most likely signaling Selina’s return..
