The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 465 Elias Gets Jealous

Amanda forced a bitter smile, not wanting to bring up the matter. It’s hard to put into words. Besides, she didn’t want Simon to laugh at her after she told him the story.

I have something to take care of. Let’s talk another time. I have to go”

Amanda had been avoiding Simon’s gaze, not wanting to say another word. After all, I don’t have the right to talk to him, and I probably deserve it.

He could tell something was wrong with her, so he reached out to stop her. “Are you avoiding me? Although we can’t be lovers, we were good partners and good friends once. Can I not even talk to you

now?”

“I-I’m busy. Let’s talk another day, okay?”

Clearly, she was feeling uneasy, so Simon couldn’t bring himself to pressure her further. He withdrew his arm. “You’re trying to avoid Elias seeing us together, aren’t you? He’s the winner now. Why would he be afraid of me, especially when I’m out of the game?”

His words carried a hint of self-mockery.

Amanda was stunned momentarily, but she was no longer facing away from him. After all, she could run, but she couldn’t hide.

“It’s not what you think, Simon. Elias isn’t that kind of person. How about this? Let’s find a place to sit and talk. We shouldn’t talk on the roadside.””

Simon smiled. “Sure. That’s a good idea. Besides, I owe you a meal. I’ll make up for it tonight. Therefore, allow me to treat you to dinner.”

Dinner?

Amanda looked up at the sky and belatedly realized that it had turned dark. I can’t believe I spent the afternoon wandering on the streets. The time sure passes quickly!

At the same moment, a car passed them. The pair didn’t notice that Elias was sitting inside the car.

Meanwhile, Elias looked out of the window of his car with a gloomy expression. He happened to spot the pair on the street. He couldn’t help but furrow his brows as he fixed the handsome man and the beautiful woman with a stare.
