The Lawyer’s Romance in Law

 Chapter 529

“Amanda, what did you just say to me earlier? I’m afraid I didn’t catch it. So, repeat it.”

He held her tightly, and there was no hiding the threat in his tone. Unfortunately, or perhaps. fortunately, she could clearly read the underlying message in his eyes: If she dared to say it again, he would take her right here!

“Let me go! Stop acting like a lunatic!”

“So, you do know that I’ll lose my temper! And whose fault is it? It’s all because of you! Amanda, tell me, are you not satisfied until you have successfully driven me mad?”

Elias held her beautiful chin, forcing her to look straight into his eyes.

She glanced around fearfully and felt relieved that there was no one nearby. Of course, no one could be here. Still, she was afraid that the servants passing by might overhear their conversation.

“Let go of me! This is a hot spring!”

“So? This is still the Winters Estate. Just who dictates the terms that I can’t turn into a stark raving lunatic in the confines of my own home?” Elias was getting frustrated. He realized that it was useless, no matter how much he apologized or explained himself. Thus, he could only resort to using force to get her to see reason.

“You’re being unreasonable!” Amanda didn’t want to waste her breath on him. They couldn’t communicate at all.

The man felt his lips curl into a sneer as he gazed at her speechless appearance. “What now? So, you’ve finally felt the frustration that I’ve been plagued with? I’ve kept explaining myself over and over again for the past two days, but did you listen? No! I’ve told you so many times. that I have no thoughts

about any other woman. But no, you refuse to believe it. Now, you’re accusing me of having an emotional affair. Just when did I do such a thing? Explain it to me. clearly! Help me understand!”

The man seemed to have truly been driven mad. He needed to lay everything out tonight. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to get a good night’s rest at all.

Amanda, who was forced to look at his irritable yet frantic appearance, couldn’t help the chuckle that fell from her lips. She didn’t know why she found his situation funny, but she just did. As a result, she failed to restrain the laughter that bubbled within her. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“What are you laughing at? Do you find my current state amusing?”

The man became even angrier. Was Amanda actually mocking him? Did she find his current deadlock situation hilarious?

Amanda simply looked at him. “It is quite amusing. If you were a real man, you would actually admit to your actions. It’s just appreciating a beautiful woman. What’s there to be afraid of? Besides, you haven’t done anything. It’s just like having an emotional affair. It isn’t as if committing an emotional affair is a sin. I dare any couple to say they can go their whole lives without wandering. It’s normal.”

Elias’ dark eyes were filled with shock as he exclaimed, “Normal?! Are you saying having an emotional affair is normal?”

“Yes, it’s normal. The human lifespan is at least 80 years. I can understand that it would be so boring to be loyal to one woman for the rest of your life. You’re allowed to occasionally fantasize about other beautiful women-”

Before she finished speaking, the man grabbed her slender waist as he snarled, “Are you saying that you will have an emotional affair with another man in the future?”

Amanda was rendered speechless once more. This man really couldn’t understand human language. She was talking about him! So, why was he pointing fingers at her right now?

“Talk, Amanda! Tell me right here, right now. Are you going to have an emotional affair in the future?”

Inters, please don’t change the topic. We’re talking about you having an emotional

“Elias affair, not me!”

“When have I ever had an emotional affair? I just wanted to go against Symeon. How would I know that woman would have caused such a big impact on you? If I had known about this earlier, I definitely wouldn’t have intervened.”

Elias had regretted ever bothering with that nonsense. If he hadn’t poked his nose in that business, they would be having a wonderful time celebrating Amanda’s birthday right now.

Oh, right. Today was Amanda’s birthday.

He almost forgot about it.

They had agreed to celebrate her birthday. Alas, their plans had all gone down the drain. because of this incident.

In the end, it was all Symeon’s fault. He just wouldn’t leave Amanda well enough alone even after returning to the country.

“I told you that you did the right thing by helping me.”

“Then, what did I do wrong? Tell me!” Elias felt like he was going crazy since they had been. in circles for days.

Amanda merely sneered as she retorted, “You had impure thoughts. I told you, you’ve cheated on me emotionally.”

“I didn’t!”

“You did… Mmm!”

Before she could finish her sentence, he decided to kiss her, sealing her lips and preventing her from saying anything that could cause him to riot.

They kissed for who knows how long. As there was hot air wafting in the hot spring, toward the end of their kiss, she felt like she was well on her way to fainting due to suffocation.

When he finally decided to release her, she didn’t even have the energy to do anything but remain slumped in his arms. She closed her eyes as she tried to catch her breath while. leaning against his strong chest.

Meanwhile, Elias gazed at the blushing Amanda, who looked utterly adorable and delectable… He could feel his barely-there control on his urges on the verge of snapping.

“Do you still want to continue our conversation?”

Amanda inhaled deeply before shooting him a disdainful look. Then, she straightened herself and tried to leave. Alas, she had barely made a few steps when the man tugged her back into his embrace.

Now, she was truly angered. “What else do you want to do?!”

“Amanda, I’m really angry. Do you know what day it is today? How could you ruin it like. this?” Elias said through gritted teeth.

His words caught her off guard as her mind tried to come up with an answer. What day is it. today? Why is it so important? What did she ruin?

“Is it Father’s Day?”

Elias had a dark expression on his face. “Today is your birthday! You ruined your own. birthday! It was supposed to be a beautiful day for us to spend together. Yet, you chose to spend your time fighting with me!”

Amanda blinked at him dumbly when those words finally hit her.

Oh, today is my birthday…

She remembered on the day that they had a fight, he had asked her what birthday gift she wanted and how she wanted to celebrate the day.

Nevertheless, she quickly snapped out of her thoughts and refuted coldly, “You had a hand in ruining my birthday as well. What right do you have to blame me? Besides, it’s just a birthday. We celebrate it every year, so it doesn’t matter.”

She became indifferent toward birthdays ever since Aiden was born.

He glanced at her apathetic demeanor and grew increasingly frustrated. “Amanda! Birthdays occur annually, but will you have another 26th birthday? Will there be another opportunity? Do you have to feel so despondent on your 26th birthday?”

She only tilted her head as she thought, Why am I getting the feeling that this man cared more about my birthday than me?

Amanda appeared perplexed by his attitude. “It’s just a birthday. So, why all the fuss? I don’t even mind.”

Alas, Elias wore a somber expression as he replied, “Because it’s the first time I’m able to commemorate your birthday with you.”
