The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 464 It’s Been a While

Elias remained alert and slowly spoke. “It’s hard to say if he is my son. Are you trying to deceive me into rescuing the son of you and your lover?”

He didn’t want to doubt Amanda, but the paternity test inade it difficult for him to let his guard down. He had to investigate thoroughly before concluding whether or not the child was his.

Amanda’s heart sank at his words. She couldn’t bear to stay for another second. Immediately, she stood up, picked up her bag, and turned to leave the office; tears streamed down her face as she walked away. If she stayed any longer, she was afraid she wouldn’t be able to resist slapping this man across the face.

Elias sat on the couch this time, watching as the woman slammed the door and stormed out of the office. He had to investigate everything before he could determine the truth quickly. Otherwise, he couldn’t distinguish whether Amanda’s words were true or false.

After getting up and returning to his desk, he called his assistant on the intercom. Within a minute, the assistant entered the office, looking flustered. “Mr. Winters, you called for me. Is there something wrong? He was busy at his workstation and was taken aback when his boss suddenly called him into the office.

“How is the investigation I asked you to do? What is my current marital status? Am I married or divorced?” Elias asked.

The assistant answered, “Oh, I just received a call from the relevant department. They said you’re currently married, and if your marriage certificate is missing, it can be reissued-”

So, what Amanda said about remarrying was true? Elias cut the assistant short. “What else? Did I have a child with Amanda? What happened before my car accident? Why did I have the accident in the first place?”

The assistant looked confused by the questions. “Um… I haven’t found out about those things yet. And almost no one knew about your car accident, not even me, until a few days ago. I don’t know when you had the accident or when you woke up. As for your marriage to Miss Bailey, only a few people know about it, and even fewer people know about the child.”

Elias’ face darkened, and he waved his hand, signaling for the assistant to leave.
