The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 144 There Is Still a Long Road Ahead Before Elias Can Win Amanda’s Heart

Elias ignored her and followed Amanda.

Grace’s heart dropped when she saw Elias ignoring her. Do I really not stand a chance?

Jennifer looked at Grace suspiciously, still thinking about what Amanda had said.

“Why are you looking at me like that? Do you believe her too?” Tears fell from the corner of Grace’s eyes as she spoke.

“Impossible.” Jennifer quickly denied it. “You’re the only one I trust, Grace. I believe that you are the one who truly loves Elias. I will never believe that poor woman’s words.”

Hearing her words, Grace hugged Jennifer as she cried helplessly. “I love Elias so much, Mrs. Winters. I would never do anything to hurt him.”

Amanda sat in the backseat with Aiden while Elias drove the car. On their way home, none of them said anything, seemingly as if they were afraid of disturbing Aiden’s slumber.

Still, Amanda couldn’t help but ask, “You refused to listen to me when I told you that Grace was behind the accident. You even slapped me. Yet, why are you so calm now? Why didn’t you say anything?” She wondered if Elias truly believed her.

Elias looked at her through the rear mirror and said, “Although I don’t have solid evidence, Grace can’t be trusted either.”

Hearing his words, Amanda didn’t know what to say.

The duo stayed quiet as they drove back to Galaxy Bay. When they arrived, Elias exited the car and opened the door for Amanda. Then, he carried Aiden from Amanda’s arms. In that split second, Amanda thought as if they were still married; it was as if they had a happy life and a cute child.

Elias carried Aiden to the bedroom upstairs and put him to bed, covering the little one with a blanket before leaving the room.

Downstairs, Amanda had brewed him a cup of tea.

Elias sat on the couch and asked, “When will you be moving out? I have already prepared a new place for you. You can pay as much rent as you want. I don’t mind.” After all, he didn’t need the money, nor did he need it for a living. However, he knew Amanda wouldn’t leave if he gave her the place for free.
