The Barrister’s Love in Town ( Elias Winters & Amanda )

Chapter 58 Begging Elias on Her Knees

It took Simon a second to register what he saw, and he immediately went up to the window and found a piece of fabric of women’s clothing hung on the window.

It must’ve gotten caught in the window when Amanda jumped. I hope she didn’t injure herself in the process.

At that, he pulled his phone out to call Amanda. Alas, her phone was turned off. Has she gotten upset and left because she found out I called the police?

Amanda scraped her ankle after jumping out of the second-floor window, and blood oozed out continuously. However, she had no time to think about the pain.

It wasn’t until she was out of the Galaxy Bay community that she saw a cab. At that, she hailed it and called Elias at once after getting in. He was the only one who could help her at this point.

The kidnapper said they would call her back in three days, but there was no way she could take not hearing anything for three days, let alone three minutes, nor could Aiden.

The phone kept ringing, but no one answered it, and Amanda was beginning to break down. “Please pick up!” she pleaded in a whisper.

Kids these days… The cab driver shook his head and sighed, thinking she was a girlfriend desperately trying to win her boyfriend back.

Finally, the call went through, and a hint of brightness finally returned to Amanda’s eyes. “Elias, where are you?!” she called out excitedly. “I’m coming to you!”

“You’re coming to me?” Elias repeated after a moment’s silence.

“Yes! Where are you? Tell me! This is important!” How she wished she could teleport to him right.

away.

“I’m at the estate. Are you sure you want to come to me?”

“Yes!”

“Should I get the guys to pick you up?” Elias didn’t seem convinced Amanda would go to him.

“No. I’m already in a cab. Wait for me!”

Elias was in the outdoor hot spring of Winters Estate, surrounded by mist and enjoying his leisure time with his eyes closed when a servant brought him his phone, telling him he had a call from

Amanda.

A call from Amanda! That woman usually avoids me like I’m some plague. No doubt she wants something from me.

After hanging up, Elias recollected the worry in Amanda’s tone and couldn’t help wondering what had happened.

With that, he got out of the hot spring and wrapped a towel around his waist with a grim frown. before heading to the living room to await Amanda’s arrival. Let’s see what that woman wants from

About an hour later, the butler brought a disheveled Amanda into the living room while Elias scrolled through his phone mindlessly, leaning leisurely against the couch in his loungewear.

“Sir, Miss Bailey is here.”

Elias took a gander at her reflexively, only to be slightly taken aback by what he saw. “Have you come to seek refuge?” he asked.

Amanda was in a wretched state right then. Her clothes were torn from jumping out of the window, and her ankle was injured because of it. Plus, her hair was a complete mess, and her usually deer-like eyes were red. It looked like she had been bullied..

“I need your help! Please, Elias, I beg of you! I—”

“Go upstairs, get a shower, and get changed. Elias interjected mercilessly. “I don’t want to help. you in your current state.”

How is she still not willing to come back to me when she’s already in this sorry state?! When had she ever looked like this when she was my wife?! But now, she looks like a fallen princess…

Amanda saw the unadulterated despise in Elias’ eyes, but she was in no mood for a shower or a change-not when her precious baby boy’s life was on the line.

“I don’t have time for that. Please help me find someone. I beg of you. Only you can find him quickly. I

“No deal, then,” Elias interjected again. “See to it yourself.”

With that, he ambled to the elevator, seemingly no longer wanting to entertain her.

“Alright, alright, I’ll shower and change.” Amanda yielded at once. “Please don’t go. You have to help me! Only you can do it!”

She wanted to tell him his son was in danger, but she still dared not let the Winterses know of Aiden’s existence. She wasn’t ready.

Elias smirked and turned to the butler in response. “Show her the way.”

At that, he shifted his gaze to the young woman. “I’ll be waiting for you in the bedroom. You’d better make it quick. I’m getting sleepy, and I have a whole day of meetings tomorrow.”

“I know!” Amanda replied through gnashed teeth, wanting to belabor the hateful b*stard.

Half an hour later, Amanda rushed to Elias’ bedroom, where the man savored a cup of coffee on the armchair. Though her hair was wet, she had changed into a set of fresh clothes.

“Elias! Can I ask you to help me now?” She genuinely couldn’t take it anymore..

Elias, on the other hand, nodded pleasingly now that she looked fresher. “Mm… Much better. Tell me. What do you need me to do?”

It infuriated him that she would only voluntarily come to him when she needed his help, or he would never come to her mind. As such, he decided to take this chance to punish her.

“Please help me save a child. He’s been kidnapped. The sooner, the better! Can you do it in a few hours? Just like when you saved me.” Amanda went up to him and gazed expectantly at the man.

“A child?” Elias squinted. “You’re not asking me to save Nicholson’s son, are you?”

What other children does she know of nowadays?! This woman is so desperate to become the boy’s stepmother that she’s even more dutiful than his birth mother!

Amanda hurriedly nodded after taking a second to process what he said. “Yes, it’s him! Can you help me? I’m sure you can find him quickly with your connections and high-tech methods! Please, I beg of you!”

She believed she would be able to see Aiden by sunrise if Elias was willing to help.

To her dismay, the man sneered disdainfully. “Amanda Bailey, are you trampling all over my dignity because you know I’m trying to win you back? Why should I help Nicholson find his son? What does his kidnapping have to do with me?! If that’s all you have come for, leave! I don’t have time for that!”

With that, Elias shot up from the armchair and headed toward the bed. It appeared he was getting ready to go to sleep.

“Elias, please, I beg of you! The child is innocent and very pitiful.. And…“

And he’s your son!

She couldn’t bring herself to tell him the truth, not even in this dire state.

“And?” Elias” glanced icily at her from the bed.

“And you’ve met him before. Besides, saving a life is of boundless beneficence! Can’t you pity the child? You clearly are able to help!”

“Last time I checked, I met the back of his head!” Elias was beside himself with fury, so livid that he laughed. How devoted she is to Nicholson. She even sees his son as her own!
