The Barrister's Love in Town

She twirled around and started toward the car when Amanda grabbed her. “No, I’ll bring

him back in a few minutes. Go home and wait for us in the house.”

Although Selina didn’t understand why Amanda was behaving so strangely, she nodded

and turned into the villa. The rain fell like a deluge of water, and it was extremely

terrifying as thunder roared and lightning cut across the night sky in frightening flashes of

light.

Amanda held the umbrella firmly as she came to a stop in front of Elias and looked at his

beautiful face. Even though he was soaked, he was still as sexy as ever.

“What on Earth are you doing? How is this behavior worthy of your status as the young

master of the Winters Family? Get up.”

In all honesty, it was a rather shocking sight to see this man kneeling in front of her.

Moreover, this guy was none other than Elias Winters, and he actually hung his head, set

aside his arrogant pride, and prostrated himself before her. Although he was clearly on his

knees, his aura was still so powerful that no one would dare to suggest that he was down

and out.

“Why are you silent? Do you plan to kneel here forever?” Raindrops pelted on the umbrella

that she was holding unforgivingly, causing their conversation to be somewhat disrupted

by the heavy droplets.

Elias raised his head and gazed at her beautiful face. Then, he said in his husky voice,

“You said that you’ll forgive me and give me a chance if I kneel before you. I’ve done it.

What about you

Amanda was at a loss for words as her ears were filled with the pitter-patter of the heavy

rain Her heart was in a mess as she thought, What should I do? I’ve already agreed to

Simon’s proposal, but Elias is doing this now… Even if Elias finally knows the truth, it’s

already too late. Everything’s too late

“You don’t have to do this, Elias, Go home. It doesn’t matter whether I forgive you or not,

and neither do I want to forgive you because I’ve already agreed to Simon’s proposal.”

After the words left her lips, Elias’ head snapped up and his eyes were filled with shock as

he shouted angrily, “What did you say? Who allowed you to agree to that?”

Amanda jumped in bewilderment in the face of his furious reaction. Even though this man

was kneeling before her and utterly humbled, his aura was still as terrifying as ever. “Why

can’t I say yes to him? I’m just your er-wife. If we’re going to be specific about it, I’m an

ex-wife that you had never once favored before today. Don’t you think that you’re

stepping out of line?” She immediately lost her temper when he started being all bossy

and demanding. Does he think that he’s the center of the universe!

“Turn down his proposal,” he growled.

“Why should I reject him? Go home, Elias. You can get any type of woman you want. Now

that you’ve seen Grace for who she is, your tastes should be marginally better.” She felt

that she should draw a clear line with him now. After all that she had been through-the

disappointments that happened time and again-the last thing she wanted was to repeat

the same mistakes.

“Don’t make decisions for me. I know what I want!” Elias held his fists so tightly that his

knuckles were crackling loudly. How dare that scumbag get ahead of me and propose to

her? Does he think that he’s good enough? If he wasn’t kneeling right here trying to get

into Amanda’s good graces again, he might actually beat Simon up. Proposing to my ex-

wife… How dare he!

“What do you want, then? You just can’t stand to see others doing well, can you? I begged

you to love me in the past, but you wouldn’t even take a look at me. Now that we’re

already divorced and therefore, not related to each other, you want me back so

desperately. What do you take me for? I’m a human with opinions and feelings of my

own!”

“I know that you still hold a grudge against me for that slap. I’ll stay on my knees until you

forgive me. You should head in. Don’t catch a cold. You don’t have to be bothered with my

existence here.”

His voice sounded so determined even though the sound of rain falling on the asphalt

interspersed his declaration, as though he really planned to kneel here until the end of

time.

“What’s the point of you doing this, Elias? I’ve already agreed to someone else’s proposal.

Why will I ever forgive you? Do you think that that slap was the only wrong you did to me?

There are so many more things listed on that list!” Frankly, she was close to losing her

mind at this rate. If this man spent the night here, he would definitely fall sick tomorrow.

Why is he so obstinate? she thought in frustration. Suddenly, her lips twitched into a cold

sneer as she hissed, “Unless you kneel to your death here, neither 1 nor my dead baby

will ever forgive you!”

Baby… Instantly, Elias felt that he had fallen into a bottomless abyss. The baby was the

only topic he had no courage to bring up because he was the one who caused its death. If

only I had trusted her back then and brought her to the hospital for a blood test. If only.

Then, the child is probably three years old

He could plead for her forgiveness for everything else, but he couldn’t lift his head high

when it came to the baby. He had no right to ask for her forgiveness. So, he gradually

lowered his head. and stared at the ripples on the ground caused by the splattering rain.

His jaw tightened, and his fist balled up tightly.

Meanwhile, in the car, Aiden was becoming unsettled because he really needed to use the

bathroom urgently. Unfortunately for him, his mother was off doing something and still

hadn’t picked him up after such a long time. Eventually, due to his desperation, he

decided to toss caution to the wind and unlocked his seatbelt. After he maneuvered

himself out of the child’s seat, he immediately opened the door.

While the air between the two adults slipped into a dead silence and all they could hear

from this world was the sound of the rain, a baby voice broke the silence in Elias’ dark

world, remarking in confusion, “Mommy, why is this man kneeling here?”

A stupefied Amanda widened her eyes, looked down, and saw her son wrapping his arms

around her legs. Why Why did he come out? She instinctively snapped her head toward

Elias, trying to gauge his reaction.

Elias jerked his head up the instant he heard a child’s voice. When he saw the scene

before him, especially the little boy standing before him, his eyes were filled with

unspeakable shock.
