The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 284 A Story From the Past

Yacob nodded in agreement and faced Elias with a grave look on his face, waiting for him to make his decision. Alas, Elias’ mind was made. “I know what I’m doing. Both of you, please just do what you’re supposed to do and don’t cause more trouble for me if you’re really serious about saving Aiden.“

Amanda and Yacob shared a look, slipping into silence as they watched Elias returning into the ward to continue reading the storybook for Aiden.

Amanda stood outside the ward as she watched as Elias expression turned gentle in an instant. He had shifted to the role of a loving father in the blink of an eye as he patiently told a story to his son as though the person who berated them earlier wasn’t him but someone else instead.

Then, Yacob dragged her to a corner. “Lord, you really went to the Momsey Residence! I thought that you’d leave when you found out that we weren’t there, but you actually went in after we left. This is as good as rocking the boat!”

“I… Just don’t want to miss out on this chance.” She merely wanted to give it a shot, thinking that she could convince Taylor with her charisma. Alas, judging from Taylor’s reaction, it seemed that she had underestimated how dire the situation was between Elias and Taylor.

Yacob was hopping mad. “Did you think that you could convince Taylor with your words? That’s impossible! You have no idea what kind of feud existed between Mr. Winters and him, and it was a feud that can never be reconciled. That’s utterly out of the question.”

“I think it’s about his sister. Why does he hate Elias so terribly?” A curious Amanda couldn’t figure out what could have happened that made Taylor despise Elias so badly.

Initially, Yacob didn’t want to speak about this, but seeing how reckless she was, he had no other choice but to tell her about it. Therefore, he stole a peek at Elias in the ward and said, “Let’s talk outside.”

Later, when he went abroad for studies, she insisted on following him abroad, too.” Amanda was stunned to silence that she was so obsessed with Elias, and Yacob continued, “This girl… Even though Mr. Winters had rejected her countless times, she kept bothering him.
