The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 294 Just an Act

“Fine.” Amanda got up reluctantly to get Rosie the milk.

Upon leaving the bathroom, she got frightened by the man standing outside.

The words left her before she could process them. “Are you out of your mind? Are you peeking at your bathing sister?”

She was well aware that it wasn’t Taylor’s intention. He’s probably worried about his sister, so he came to see whether I was doing my job of taking care of her.

Crossing his arms, Taylor remained rooted to the ground. He scoffed at Amanda, who was visibly scared by his presence. “Here I thought you’re the one bathing. What a killjoy.”

Is he implying that he wants to see me bathe? He’s so shameless!

Amanda decided that talking to him was a waste of time. All she wanted was to make it through the promised ten days. Then, her son could undergo a successful bone marrow transplant. After that, she would never need to cross paths with the Momsey siblings again.

She walked past him and left the bedroom.

Taylor remained standing outside the bathroom. His eyes were fixed on the door as a stern look fell on his face.

After all these years, he had been suspecting that Rosie wasn’t really suffering from a mental disorder. Instead, she was merely putting up a front so she didn’t have to face reality, which was that Elias didn’t return her feelings.

Taylor had been trying to expose Rosie, but she was good at feigning. She never once gave herself away. Therefore, he thought he was just being paranoid.

He wished that Rosie could move on with her life without running away from reality. She deserves a normal life.

He planned to use Amanda against Rosie to test whether the latter’s hysteria was just an act.

At the same time, Amanda returned to the room with a pail of milk, which was prepared by the helper. Just when she was stepping into the bathroom, Taylor began, “You’re good at your job. Must’ve gained the experience from serving Elias, eh? However, he still divorced you. even though you did a great job tending to his needs.”

He glanced at the bathroom door when he talked, hoping Rosie could hear their conversation.
