The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 148 Is it Really Haunted?

Elias deliberately maintained a calm demeanor. “It’s nothing serious. Someone jumped off the rooftop of Building Five, and there have been rumors of supernatural events since then. However, I’m sure you don’t believe in those things, so there’s nothing to worry about.”

When Amanda heard that, she became speechless instantly. Why didn’t this jerk mention it earlier? If he had told me earlier, I would have found another place. Now that we’re already here and it’s getting dark, it’s too late for us to find another house. At the very least, we will have to stay here tonight. Why do I feel like I’ve been fooled?

She then cleared her throat. “As a lawyer, I don’t believe in those things. Supernatural events are just a product of people’s fears. Nonetheless, she was genuinely afraid of those things.

Meanwhile, Elias could see through her facade of pretending to be strong. A smile appeared at the corners of his mouth as he slowly stood up. “Well, I’ll be leaving now. Call me if you need anything. I’ll be working overtime at the office tonight, but I can come over within minutes.”

“Alright, thank you.” She found it strange that he didn’t insist on staying. Has he really changed? As she followed closely behind him, she saw him off at the door.

When Elias arrived at the door, he seemed to remember something all of a sudden, so he turned around and said, “By the way, there are fresh ingredients in the refrigerator. You should cook dinner for Aiden later instead of ordering takeout. They’re not hygienic.”

“I got it.” She nodded.

As he left the house and closed the door, Amanda felt a sense of relief.

She had been constantly moving houses during this period, and it had made her mentally exhausted. I hope we can stay here a little longer this time.

At that moment, Aiden, who had finished exploring the entire house, finally came out. “This place is fun. Mommy. Can we stay here forever?” His face was full of anticipation, for he also hated moving houses. It took him a long time to adapt each time.

Amanda plopped on the couch lazily and said, “Baby, what do you want for dinner? I’ll cook for you.”
