The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 467

Chapter 467 Conniving B*tch

Amanda fell silent.

Is it a case of kidnapping? I doubt it. With Aiden right next to Symeon’s side, he’s practically being showered with affection to the point of being spoiled. Even if he wants the stars from the sky, Symeon would likely figure out a way to get them for him.

Amanda said, “When you investigate and find out the truth, or when you regain your memory, everything

will become clear.”

Elias fell silent, fixing his gaze on her. “Then, let’s wait until I’ve thoroughly investigated the paternity test

first.”

With that, he got up and prepared to leave the bedroom.

Suddenly, his phone rang. Elias picked up the call, and Rosie’s voice came through. “Eli, there’s a heavy rainstorm predicted tonight, and I’m terrified of thunder. Could I stay at your place for the night? Taylor is away on a business trip, and I’m really scared.”

He hesitated for a few seconds and then responded, “I’ll have the driver come pick you up.”

“Thank you, Eli!”

The room was so quiet that Amanda could hear each word of their conversation with utmost clarity.

Isn’t it an obvious scheme to stay overnight? Can’t Elias see through it?

She couldn’t hold back her anger. “Can’t you see that she’s doing it on purpose? She just wants to come over and sleep here! Scared of thunder? Even if Taylor isn’t at home, aren’t there other people in the Momsey Residence? Can they really let her stay all alone in such a huge villa?”

Even if the Momsey family members are not around, there are still servants and housekeepers!

Elias glanced at her indifferently. “So what if I can see through it? She was the first person I saw when I regained consciousness. Kindness deserves gratitude in return, and besides, there are plenty of rooms here. What’s the harm in letting her stay here?”

Having said that, he strode out of the bedroom.

Amanda sat alone on the bed, and her mind was a mix of emotions. The amnesiac Elias appeared to have developed a soft spot for Rosie.

Although Rosie had saved Aiden before, Amanda was also grateful to her. However, Rosic always tried to break up their little family of three. How could she tolerate it?

Midnight.

Amanda noticed that Elias didn’t return to the room to sleep. It seemed that he wouldn’t be coming back tonight Can’t he possibly share a room with Rosie, right?

The thought made her scalp prickle. Acting swiftly, she rose from the bed and left the bedroom.

Just as she did, she happened to see the housekeeper walking toward the elevator. She inquired. “Where is

<

Mi Winters? He’s not going to sleep with Rosie, is he?”

“How could that be? Don’t worry Mr Winters is in his study, but we’re not allowed to disturb him. So, I have no idea what he’s doing in there

After hearing his words, Amanda breathed a sigh of relief.

Amanda, why are you here?”

Suddenly. Rosie’s voice came from behind her. Amanda turned around and saw Rosie walking toward her

th a look of disbelief

Roste had thought that after Elias kicked Amanda out that day, it wouldn’t be easy for her to return to the Winters Estate, but what was this situation now?

The housekeeper looked at the two of them and silently walked away. I should inform Mr. Winters about ther

Neither of them noticed that he had quietly left.

“What’s the matter? Is it strange to see me, Elias’ lawful wife, here? Do you think that by stealing our marriage certificate, I’m no longer the mistress of this place? Are you naive or just plain foolish? Remember, we’ve already officially registered our marriage at the city hall.”

Rosie let out a cold laugh. “How shameless can you get! Where were you when Eli had his accident? And what about that paternity test? How dare you call yourself the mistress of this place? Elias placed so much trust in you, and you actually betrayed him. I won’t allow you to hurt Elias anymore!”

Amanda was utterly fed up with arguing with this lunatic and had no interest in saying anything more.

“Rosie, heed my warning-don’t try to wedge yourself between Elias and me anymore, or I might do things you can’t even imagine.”

“And what might that be? Will you abduct me or even kill me?” Rosie didn’t believe that Amanda could do anything outrageous. After all, Amanda had her own ethical standards and always portrayed herself as a righteous lawyer.

Amanda sneered. “If you push me to the brink, anything is possible.”

“You!”

Just as Rosie was about to retort angrily, she caught sight of Elias coming up the stairs.

She immediately put on a pitiful and aggrieved look. “Amanda, why are you so against me? I just wanted to stay over for one night. I’m really scared of thunder, and Eli also agreed…”

Amanda observed her melodramatic act. Just a while ago, she exuded such pride, yet now her tune had

wiftly changed.

Ar that very moment, Amanda also discerned faint footsteps behind her. She couldn’t help but turn around and see Elias standing behind her.

Confronted with this sudden shock, Amanda was somewhat flustered.

Ehas looked at them expressionlessly and remarked, “Why not continue your argument? Weren’t you quar intimidating just now Can you really resort to violence if I push you to the brink?”

<

How ridiculous.

Roste, this crazy woman, is really good at playing the victim. What a conniving b*tch she is!

“Give it a shot then”

After saying that. Amanda couldn’t be bothered to pay any attention to the two people in front of her. She turned around and walked back to the bedroom, forcefully shutting the door with a resounding thud.

Hearing the loud door slam, Rosie trembled in fear. Tearfully, she walked up to Elias and said in a pitiful voice, “Eli, I didn’t mean to make Amanda angry. It’s just

“Enough, don’t say any more. Go back to sleep. It’s already raining outside.

“But I still get scared when I’m alone in the room and hear thunder…

Rosie was poised to enact her dramatics once more, inching closer to Elias in an attempt to persuade him to stay with her tonight.

Although Elias saw through her intentions, an inner voice continuously urged him not to reject Rosie. However, somewhere deep inside, a touch of reluctance left him in a state of internal conflict and uncertainty.

“Are you suggesting that I sleep in the same room with you?” Elias directly exposed Rosie’s intention.

Rosie lowered her head slightly, exuding an air of shyness. However, before she could say anything. Elias dashed her hopes with his next words. “Let the nanny sleep with you. If you’re still scared. I’m left with no alternatives.

With that said, he turned away and left mercilessly.

Left alone in the corridor, Rosie was at a loss and even found it amusing.

Should I label him an unyielding macho or clueless about romantic cues? NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

I’ve taken it to this level, yet he still suggests having the nanny sleep with me. Does he really have no sense of romance?
