The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 52

Chapter 52 Looks Just Like You

Just come with me. Not sure if he’s there, but there is a possibility. Amanda’s guts told her Howard might be there. She had even forgotten that Aiden was in the kindergarten too. She just wanted to find Howard.

They arrived at Royal International Kindergarten where Aiden went to school. Elias slowly stopped the car and looked at the kindergarten’s entrance, then he frowned. “Are you sure he’s here?”

“No. Just a hunch. I’ve seen him here before. He told me he often came here to watch the kids. play. She unbuckled her seatbelt.

Elias was silent for a while. “Why did you come here anyway?”

Amanda froze for a moment and awkwardly laughed. “I-I just passed by. Had some business in the company across.”

Sh*t. Aiden’s still in there now, if I’m right. How could I have forgotten? What if Elias runs into him? Please don’t let that happen. Please. Please don’t let him realize Aiden’s there.

Elias unbuckled himself and was ready to get out of the car when he noticed Amanda spacing out. “What’s wrong?”

“Huh? Nothing. We should find Howard now.”

Amanda was really nervous and it showed on her face. As she got out of the car, she prayed that her boy was in the classroom instead of outside.

Suddenly, Elias held her wrist, making her shiver. “What’s wrong?”

“There” Elias looked at the fence before them darkly, and he approached Howard, feeling mad.

Amanda followed, her heart thumping furiously. Howard was staring over the fence, but the children had long since gone back to their classrooms, leaving the empty swings swinging.

Behind him, Elias coldly asked, “You think it’s funny to go out without telling anyone?”

Howard turned around. “Well, look who found me. How did you know I was here?”

“Howard, you should’ve told the butler you were coming out,” Amanda said as she approached Howard.

Oh, I see why. “Knew you couldn’t have found me alone. I see you got yourself a helper.” Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Elias’ patience had run out, and he angrily said, “Why did you do this? Why did you come here?”

Howard pointed at the kindergarten with his chin. I’m here to see the kids. If you hadn’t gotten that divorce, your kid would’ve been old enough to be a kindergartener. I’d have so much fun

with him.”

Is that all?Whew. Amanda looked at the kindergarten. Fortunately, it wasn’t the children’s free time, and she heaved a sigh of relief.

“We’ll take you home, Howard. It’s time for lunch. You should be hungry now” Amanda smiled.

Howard scoffed. “I don’t have an appetite. I’m angry enough. He then turned and walked to his

car.

Howard stubbornly wanted to drive back home himself, so Elias and Amanda followed him slowly. It took them more than an hour to come back, and Amanda was asked to stay for lunch.

The air was feeling a bit weird. It had been a while since they had lunch together.

Howard sighed. “I saw a boy who looked just like you when you were a kid. He even talked like you. Was a lot better than you were, though. Called me grandpa quite a few times. Oh, my heart just melted. Wonder if I’d have the chance to see my own great-grandchild.”

Elias’ hand stopped in mid-air for a moment, but he continued eating his lunch without a word right after that.

Amanda started getting nervous. He couldn’t have met Aiden, could he? No. There’s no way. She smiled awkwardly. “You will, Howard. You will.”

Howard sighed. “Nah. You already have a boyfriend, and this brat is entangled with that clown-”

Before he could finish, Elias said, I’ve cut ties with her.”

Howard was in disbelief. “Really? Would she let you go that easily? Are you sure you’ve cut all ties. with her?”

“Yes,” said Elias.

Amanda’s phone rang at this moment and she put her cutlery down. “Sorry, Howard. I have to take this call.” She left the dining room.

Once she was gone, Howard whispered, “What’s going on here?”

“T’d like to remarry Amanda,” said Elias.

Howard’s eyes went wide with disbelief, and he was at a loss for words. Could it be? Did he finally have an epiphany? I couldn’t even make them remarry previously, and now he wants to do it himself? Am I hearing things? “A-Are you for real? But she has a boyfriend. Do you think you can do it?”

Don’t worry, I have plans.”

“No, I mean…” Howard wanted to say something but Amanda came back, so he stopped himself.

“Sorry I have to leave, but work calls. We’ll have lunch together next time.” She took her bag and left in a hurry.

“Oh, Elias can give you a lift.”

“It’s okay. I have my own ride. See you later, Howard.” She left the dining room in a hurry. seemingly going to settle some important matters. Howard shot his grandson with a look of disappointment,

“You can’t remarry her like this. At least give her a lift.

Calmly. Elias said, “She’s still wary of me now. Give her some time. He still remembered how she said she hated him. If he pushed his luck, she would run further away from him.

“You’d best deal with Grace, or she’s going to trip you up in this journey,” snapped Howard.
