The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 206 A Divorcee

“Mr. Winters, why aren’t you keeping Aiden company tonight? Since you’ve just reunited with him, you’re supposed to spend more time with him.”

When Yacob caught sight of Elias’ sharp gaze through the rearview mirror, he kept his mouth shut, knowing he shouldn’t be such a busybody.

Instead of replying to him, Elias looked out the window with a hint of dejection behind his gaze. He couldn’t help but put on a self-mocking smile.

Perhaps I’ve demanded too much from a three-year-old kid. He needs more time to digest this kind of matter.

Since Aiden was aware that Elias was his father, that was enough. Elias decided to let nature take its course. When he was done retrieving all his shares, he would make more time for his son.

Elias slept over in his office. The next day, he freshened up and headed straight to Jack’s house. Since he needed the older man’s help, he couldn’t afford to be negligent.

When he arrived at the Allegra Villa, the butler invited him to have a seat in the living room. After Elias was served coffee, he started waiting for Jack.

He had woken up early to show Jack that he was sincere.

Since the matter of getting back his shares was of utmost importance, he had to be meticulous in everything he did.

In the past few days, he had been relying on lots of coffee to keep him awake.

Just then, he heard a series of footsteps from behind, but he reckoned the person wasn’t Jack because it sounded like the footsteps of a woman. Moreover, she was stealthy.

Elias pretended not to notice her presence and continued drinking coffee. When the woman was close enough to him, she was ready to scare him. Much to her surprise, the man turned his head all of a sudden, causing her to exclaim in shock.

“Ah!”

Elias took a look at the woman and reckoned that she was in her early twenties. She was beautiful, and the way she carried herself showed that she was a wealthy young lady.
