Chapter 377 Why Did He Mention a Child All of a sudden?
“I am. You’re Mr. Lawrence, I assume? What brings you to me?” Amanda felt relieved that
the meeting place was a restaurant and not a hotel room. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have
come.
Meanwhile, the man continued to examine her appearance. Judging from the smile on his
lips, he seemed pretty satisfied. “I’m here to reclaim my child. As you should know, the
Lawrence Family will never abandon their offspring.”
When she heard that, she was completely dumbfounded. He’s tall and hot, but what is he
talking about? Why can’t I understand a word? Why is he mentioning a child all of a
sudden?
“I’m sorry, but I don’t quite understand what you mean. Why would you come to me for a
child? What child are you talking about? I don’t know you, so how would I know where
your child is?” Puzzled by the man in front of her, she had the urge to leave immediately.
The man, noticing her clueless expression, sneered. “Have you forgotten? Let me refresh
your memory, then. Four years ago, I came to Cludan and stayed in this very hotel. You
heard about my stay here, so you lurked in my room. Taking advantage of my drunken
state, you slept with me and naturally became pregnant with my child. Then, you gave
birth to a boy at Pleybia Hospital. Do you remember now?”
Hearing his words, she became even more confused and furrowed her brows. She was
almost on the verge of bursting into laughter due to the situation’s absurdity. As she
leaned back in her seat, she said, “Mr. Lawrence, I can now confirm that you’ve made a
mistake. I did not meet you four years ago. While it’s true that I spent four years abroad, I
have never encountered you personally; I’ve only heard about you. This is the first time I
have seen you in person, so the woman you’re talking about is probably not me, and I
couldn’t have had your child.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter saying that, she stood up and grabbed her bag, preparing to leave. She didn’t want
to get involved with this man, for he didn’t seem easy to deal with.
However, just as she was about to turnaround and leave, the bodyguard stepped forward
and blocked her path. “Miss Bailey, it’s better not to pretend anymore. My master has
already investigated everything. You are the woman from before.”
This voice… The same man has been calling me for the past few days. Amanda’s anger
suddenly flared up. “It seems like you’re really an idiot. You can’t even get such a simple
matter right. You haven’t investigated. anything! I am not the woman you’re looking for!”
She pushed away the bodyguard’s arm and tried to leave, but he continued to block her.
At this moment, she realized she might have fallen into a trap.
Although they were in a restaurant, it was clear that no one dared come forward and
intervene in the matter.
In the end, she had no choice but to take out her phone from her bag and call Yacob to
resolve the situation. She was grateful now that Elias had left Yacob behind when he left,
for Yacob was indeed useful at times like this.
Yet, as soon as she took out her phone, the man standing up beside her snatched it away
and looked at her with a cold expression. “I wanted to have a proper conversation with
you, but since you’re not cooperating, I’ll have to consider other options.”
“What are you trying to do? I’ve already told you that I’m not the person you’re looking
for!”
“Whether you are or not, it’s up to me to decide. Lawrence glanced at the bodyguard
behind him. “Take her away.
With that, the bodyguard roughly grabbed Amanda’s delicate arm, preventing her from
struggling free. They then walked out of the restaurant while the man led the way.
Although many people saw what was happening, no one dared to intervene.
Late at night, after Yacob carried the sleeping Aiden back to his room, he left the rest to
Colette at the Allegra Villa. When he passed by Amanda’s room, he glanced inside and
thought, She must be asleep by now. I shouldn’t disturb her.
Before he left the villa, he deliberately glanced at Amanda’s room on the upper floor. The
lights are off. She’s probably asleep.Aiden’s room is also dark, so Mrs. Colette has
probably left too.
He planned to get some rest himself. It had been an exhausting day, and he had to wake
up early tomorrow to accompany Aiden to kindergarten.
Little did he know that Amanda was no longer at the Allegra Villa. Instead, she had been
kidnapped by a stranger.
As his final task of the day, he opened his WhatsApp and reported to Elias. ‘Both Aiden
and Miss Bailey, are asleep. With that, he considered today’s tasks complete.
Meanwhile, in Esmos, Elias was in a meeting, listening to the tedious reports at the
conference table.
Suddenly, his phone vibrated, so he picked it up and took a glance. When he saw Yacob’s
report, a smile formed on his lips. He needed to see that message every day to feel at
ease.
After that, he immersed himself back into work.
Just then, his beautiful blonde secretary brought him a cup of coffee and said in broken
Corynthean, “Here you go.”
“Thank you.”
In fact, Elias understood her intentions. She had been deliberately trying to get closer to
him these past few days, seeking his attention. He had grown tired of it.
After he beckoned with his finger, the bodyguard approached him, leaning closer to his
ear. “Yes, Mr. Winters?”
“Keep that woman away from me. She wears too much perfume.”
“Understood.”
In no time, the blonde woman hovering around him was kicked out of the meeting room.
Before leaving. she cast a lingering look at Elias, seemingly expressing her dissatisfaction
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwith his lack of interest.
Back in Cludan, Amanda had been locked inside a guest room at Cloudview Hotel. She
realized the gravity of the situation and started to retreat. “What are you trying to do? Let
me out! You have no right to imprison me!”
She glanced at the door behind the man, trying to find an opportunity to escape, but his
tall figure seemed like an impenetrable wall.
“Hand over the child, and I will let you go. I have no interest in a woman like you who
actively crawls into someone else’s bed,” he said with a disdainful look in his eyes as if he
were staring at something filthy.
Hearing that, she sneered. “You’re truly ridiculous. What child? What are you talking
about, crawling into people’s beds? Mr. Lawrence, you seem to be overly confident. Do
you think every woman would want to crawl into your bed? Well, let me tell you, I don’t!”
I’m going crazy. How did I get involved with such a lunatic? Why is he asking for a child
from me?
The man smiled mockingly instead of getting furious, and he chuckled with pleasure. “Let
me tell you my name, then. Perhaps you don’t remember my last name, but you should
recall my first name, Symeon. Does it ring a bell?”
Symeon? This rings no bell!
“No! No matter how many times you ask, my answer remains the same. I don’t know you
at all, and I haven’t given birth to your child. Please check again, investigate properly, and
stop falsely accusing innocent people!” She was on the verge of a breakdown. No matter
what she said, he refused to listen and stubbornly believed that she had given birth to his
child.
At that moment, Symeon’s expression became sinister, and his smile vanished instantly.
“So, you’re going to waste your time with me here, eh? You don’t want to admit it, do
you?”
“I haven’t given birth to your child, so what am I supposed to admit to?”
