The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 388 Jealousy

Soon, Elias flipped out and rose from his seat. “Damn it! How dare he get so close to my son!”

“That’s why I brought this matter up to you guys so that we can all think of a solution together. What should we do now? That guy seems to think that Aiden is his son, but that’s impossible. You, of all people, should know that, Amanda replied helplessly. After all, she had already explained to Symeon countless times but to no avail, because the man still insisted that he was Aiden’s father.

A question suddenly flashed through Elias’ mind as he turned around and looked at Amanda. “Why does he keep thinking that Aiden is his son? Did you get in touch with him when you spent those few years in Esmos? What happened between the two of you?” Elias was overwhelmed by a sting of pain at the thought of that possibility.

“How am I supposed to know that? I only heard about him when I was in Esmos, and that was all! There was no chance for us to get in touch with each other. Furthermore, why would a big and prestigious family like the Lawrences be interested in a rookie lawyer like me? What are you talking about?!” Amanda was annoyed because she didn’t expect Elias to doubt her, although the real purpose of bringing that matter up was to discuss the matter with him.

As the atmosphere began to grow a little tense and awkward, Yacob stood up and interfered with a fake cough. “Miss Bailey, you said Mr. Lawrence presented a DNA paternity test report to prove his biological relationship with Mr. Aiden, but since we all know that’s impossible, that means that report must be fake, which begs the question-who counterfeited that report?”

“That’s what I thought as well. There must be a mastermind behind all this, and whoever that is must have led Symeon to me. Furthermore, he insisted that the lady he slept with four years ago was me, claiming he had conducted a long investigation before he found that out. Then, he said he had been observing my life as a single mother over the past 4 years, even hoping I would go to him with our son one day, but I came back to Cludan instead. Thus, he made his move and came for me.”

Amanda carefully recalled every word Symeon said, thinking there was nothing she had missed. It seems that Symeon was already sure Aiden was his son in the beginning, but why? As she got more and more engrossed in telling her story, she unknowingly forgot about Elias feelings.

of cold water splashed at Elias. Yeah, Aiden is my son, and I know that. We did a DNA test to confirm that. Furthermore, before Amanda and I divorced, she did everything she was supposed to as a dutiful wife, not to mention the fact that she didn’t do anything wrong to me at all. Therefore, there was no way she would have slept with any other man in those four years. At the thought of that, Elias laughed at

that I don’t want to face that man alone, but at the same time, I was also afraid that you’d get the wrong idea about my relationship with Symeon after hearing my story. If you’re going to misunderstand one way or another, then I should have kept this to myself in the first place! I don’t need
