The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 373 Why Don’t You Stay Over Tonight?

Amanda glanced at Elias. “Why don’t you stay over tonight? Aiden is asleep in your arms, so you can just take him to the bedroom.”

The man frowned.

Upon hearing that, Crispin was flustered, for he didn’t want to let the two of them remarry and Elias become part of the Allegras. That would put him in a dangerous situation.

Sooner or later, Elias would eliminate an obstacle like him.

“I don’t think it’s appropriate for him to stay over. He’s your former husband, after all.”

Amanda rose to her feet and sneered. “I’ve never heard of a groom staying over at his father-in-law’s home on the wedding night. Don’t you have a home? You’re a man, but you didn’t even prepare a house for your wife. How do you have the nerve to stay at our house? What right do you have to criticize my ex- husband?”

Crispin was rendered speechless while feeling aggrieved.

There was no doubt he was poor. However, considering the property prices in Imperia, he could never afford one regardless of how hard he worked.

That was the reason he wanted to marry Stephanie. If he was also wealthy, he would no longer have to suffer such grievances.

Crispin’s mother was just behind him. When she saw her son getting jeered at, she barked, “You b*tch! What right do you have to scold my son? My son has worked hard to be part of the Allegras, and Steph is in love with him. Don’t you agree, Steph?”

Stephanie closed her eyes, refusing to utter a word. Then, she turned around and went upstairs.

“I dare you to scold me again! Are you planning on living off us? Your son moving into our house isn’t enough for you, and now, even an old bat like you is trying to stay with us.”

Crispin retorted, “Miss Bailey, since you’re a lawyer, please mind your language.

“Your mother is the one who should mind her language, Didn’t you hear she just called me a b*tch?” Amanda found the man deplorable.

Crispin took his mother’s arm. “Mom, why don’t you go and get some rest? I’ll
