The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 468 A Stranger’s Call

Rosie hurriedly caught up with the man, grabbing his arm. “Eli, can you accompany me for a while?”

The man stopped and turned to look at her. “It’s late, and I’m tired. I have a busy day tomorrow. If you’re scared, you can talk to the nanny. Besides, there’s nothing a grown man like me can talk to a young woman like you about.”

With that. Elias removed her hand and walked away.

Rosie watched his cold back and gritted her teeth in anger.

Amanda couldn’t sleep all night, her mind filled with thoughts of that despicable man.

The more she thought about him, the angrier and more aggrieved she felt.

“Elias, who do you think you are? You were so cruel to me four years ago and still treat me the same now. Do you think you’re all that because you have amnesia? I’ll get into a car accident tomorrow and get amnesia too. Let’s see who’s afraid of whom then!”

She was so angry that she paced back and forth in her bedroom.

In the early morning hours, she estimated the time and realized that it was almost nighttime at Lawrence Estate, so she decided to call Yacob to discuss what to do next.

Amanda dialed Yacob’s phone, and it rang for a long time before he answered.

Then, she heard Yacob deliberately lowering his voice on the other end. “Why are you calling me at this hour? I was searching everywhere for a bathroom.”

“Isn’t it nighttime there? Shouldn’t you be off work by now? What are you afraid of?”

“I applied for the night shift patrol and am currently on duty. What’s up?”

“Well, if you’re busy, then forget it. I just wanted to ask how things are over there. I received a call from Aiden, and he said he was happy to see you.”

Yacob’s voice came through the phone. “I can’t do anything here besides secretly protecting Aiden. By the way, how is Mr. Winters? Has he regained his memory?”
