Chapter 376 Mr Lawrence
Chapter 376 Mr Lawrence
The next few days were relatively calm with no abnormalities. Since Yacob always stayed by her side, Amanda decided not to go out at all.
She was afraid that Yacob would be bored staying at the Allegra Villa, so she arranged for him to protect Aiden at the kindergarten.
Finally, she had a moment to catch her breath. She went for a walk in the garden, enjoying the faint fragrance of flowers while emptying her mind.
Suddenly, her phone rang.
It was an international call, but it was from Elias. A smile finally appeared on her face as she answered the call. “Are you done with work? You finally thought about calling me, huh?”
“Yeah. Never-ending meetings, you know. It’s nighttime there, right? Is Aiden asleep? Let me talk to him for a bit.
She scoffed and toyed with the flower petals in front of her with her other hand. “Not yet, but Yacob is with him, and they’re having fun with the mini excavator. I don’t understand why he likes playing with excavators. My father bought him a mini version, and he’s busy destroying his grandfather’s garden.
A low chuckle came from the phone. “In that case, I shouldn’t disturb him. He’s pretty mischievous, just like I was when I was young
“Were you this mischievous when you were younger? I only remember Grandpa saying you were a cheeky child.” Thinking of Howard, she couldn’t help but sigh. Sigh, he has already passed away for several months.
At the mention of Howard, the man on the phone fell silent for a while. It seemed as though she could. imagine the expression of reminiscence on his face.
After a moment, Amanda tried to break the awkward silence. “By the way, when are you coming back?”
“In two days. Why? Missing me already?”
“What? No. It’s your son who misses you.” She would never admit that she missed Elias.
The man’s laughter sounded pleased. “Stay at home and wait for me. I’ll be back the day after tomorrow.”
“Okay.”
Just then, Elias’ side seemed to have received another call. He had no choice but to hang up on her. “Sorry, I have to take this call.
“Alright, go ahead.”
After hanging up the phone, she couldn’t help but burst into laughter. She then looked at little Aiden. playing with the mini excavator beside her, while Yacob stood guard like a knight by his side. Looking at this, she shook her head helplessly.
She was getting tired and let out a yawn, intending to go back to her room and sleep. Once this little troublemaker is done playing. Yacob will carry him back to sleep.
Just as she was about to go in, her phone rang again. She thought it was another call from Elias, but upon closer inspection, it was another international call.
She looked at the phone that kept ringing, searching her memory for the important figures she had known in Esmos. I don’t think any of them have any connection with me.
Since her phone kept ringing, she answered the call after hesitating for a while. “Hello?”
“Miss Bailey, we have arrived in Imperia, and my master has settled down. He wishes to meet you. Would you like to come on your own, or shall we pick you up?”
“Where do you get the confidence to think I’d want to meet your master? Besides, can you tell me who your master is?” She wanted to know who this so-called master was.
This time, the man on the phone didn’t hide it anymore and said directly. “My master’s last name is Lawrence. Does it ring a bell?”
Lawrence? Is it the Lawrence Family I knew when I was abroad? I’ve never had any dealings with anyone from that family, so why would they look for me?
When she was abroad, she wanted to take on the Lawrence Family’s legal affairs, but they didn’t even spare her a glance as she was just a rookie. Why would they want to meet me now? Do they want to collaborate? I’m based in Cludan now, so what use will they have for me?
Her mind was filled with questions, but she managed to calm down and ask, “Is it Mr. Lawrence of the Lawrence Family? The new heir?”
She vaguely remembered that this new heir had a peculiar temperament. The outside world only knew that he was young, but no one had seen him in person, and there were no pictures of him online. He was well protected.
“Yes.”
Really? “Why does he want to meet me? I have no connection with Mr. Lawrence. Why would he suddenly come all the way here to meet me?” She couldn’t figure it out, for she didn’t even know what this Mr. Lawrence looked like, but he had come all the way to Cludan to meet her.
The man on the phone reiterated his words like a robot. “You’ll know when you come to Cloudview Hotel. My master is currently dining at the restaurant. He said he’d wait for you for half an hour.” After that, he hung up the phone directly, not giving Amanda a chance to reply.
At this moment, she stared at the disconnected call on her phone screen and pondered for a long time. but she still couldn’t figure out the connection between herself and Mr. Lawrence. However, her curiosity had been piqued, so she decided to go and find out.
In the restaurant of Cloudview Hotel, a man dressed in a black shirt and pants was dining alone at a dining table. He had an exquisite and handsome mixed-race appearance, with features leaning toward the Eastern side.
While waiting for Amanda to show up, he used his knife and fork to slowly cut the steak on his plate. I wonder what Amanda looks like. This is also my opportunity to seek revenge and reclaim my child. I can’t allow the Lawrence Family’s offspring to be left adrift outside.
With a cold expression, the bodyguard standing beside him said, “Sir, Miss Bailey will be here soon.”
“Alright.”
The man kept his gaze lowered, looking at the piece of steak on his plate with a strong sense of disdain. He then muttered. “This tastes terrible.”
After a while, Amanda entered the restaurant and scanned the room. With just one glance, she locked her gaze on the man. It wasn’t because she recognized Mr. Lawrence, but because he exuded a strong presence. His striking appearance and aristocratic demeanor made it impossible to look. away.
She could confirm that he was the newly appointed head of the Lawrence Family.
For some time, she stood in place, observing him. He continued to cut his steak as if he hadn’t noticed her presence.
She then slowly walked to the seat across from him and sat down. Meanwhile, the bodyguard left tactfully. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
After she looked the man up and down, she thought, Tsk. tsk. With looks like that, how can he be so low-key? Not even a single photo can be found online. She initially thought it was because he was unattractive, so he didn’t want people to know about his appearance.
The man finally raised his gaze, looking at the woman in front of him. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and his thin lips exuded a seductive appeal. His eyes were filled with a hint of laziness as he asked, “Are you Amanda?”
Well, she’s a beauty. That was his evaluation of Amanda in his mind. In that case, I’m not too unlucky. The child won’t look too bad either.
At this thought, his anger subsided quite a bit..
