The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 157 Cold Attitude

“With my understanding of Elias, he would never give up so easily. Are you sure he isn’t up to any tricks?”

Amanda jolted slightly before she immediately furrowed her brow. “He has already made things very clear to me. All he wants is for Aiden to know that he’s his father and nothing else. His request is still reasonable.”

“Is it that simple? Would someone like Elias who never had to bow down to anyone settle for such a simple request?” Simon pressed, still unable to believe her words.

Amanda circled to the back of her desk and began to arrange her documents while replying, “Maybe he just decided that he doesn’t want me anymore. I’m not gentle and obedient, and I’m always pissing him off by going against him, so what would he get out of remarrying me? A hard time?”

Simon didn’t reply, and the two remained silent for a long moment as Amanda continued to tidy her documents behind her desk for a court case later that afternoon.

To be honest, I don’t think there’s any point in a loveless marriage. You clearly still can’t let go of Lunabelle, but you’re still insisting on marrying me. Are you planning to make me watch as you continue to keep in contact with Lunabelle?”

Instantly, Simon was rendered speechless. He had indeed lost most of his feelings for Lunabelle, but if she had any requests to ask of him, he knew that he would most likely extend a helping hand to her. However, he never thought that Amanda would be bothered by this fact.

“Does it bother you? Weren’t you fine with it? Lunabelle and I are just friends now. Besides, she’s been a little depressed lately, so I’ve been taking care of her just as a friend…”

Before he could finish, Amanda had lost her patience and interrupted, “Then you can continue taking care of her. I just think that it’s better for us to remain as friends.”

“Amanda…”
