The Lawyer’s Romance in Law
Chapter 253

Chapter 253 Are You Intentionally Messing With Me?

Anemia?!

Amanda supported her dizzy head and sat up. She might have been slightly anemic, but her health had been all right lately. How can it be so bad that I collapsed? "So, I passed out in the hospital?"

I really know how to choose the place because I was immediately warded after it happened.

"Yeah. Go back and rest. Don't exhaust yourself," came the man's reminder.

Amanda shook her head to regain some clarity. "Okay. I'm fine now. Let's go. I still have things to deal with later."

"What kind of things?"

"None of your business. Let's leave now."

Amanda wore her heels and grabbed her purse in preparation to leave the ward.

Elias then solemnly said, "Forget it. I guess it's better for you to leave first since Yacob will be done with his errands soon and will arrive any minute now." She was speechless upon hearing that. Did this sc*mbag just trick me?

She sneered. "Is it that interesting to intentionally mess with me?"

She really wanted to pry open this man's head to see what went through his mind on a daily basis since he always thought about torturing people!

She glanced at the man coldly and left the ward, but he did not stop her from leaving this time.

After she left, Yacob entered the ward and spotted Amanda's angry figure in the corridor.

"Mr. Winters, I think it's okay for you to tell Miss Bailey about this." Who knows? She might even look forward to the DNA test results.

"It's better not to tell her when we don't have the results yet," Elias countered. "Not everyone can endure the suspense."

Yacob remained silent as he nodded.

Elias' cell phone vibrated again. For the past two days, Stephanie had been calling him for dear life to the point where he was getting irritated by her.

However, it was not Stephanie this time. On the other hand, it was that old fox, Jack Allegra, who was calling.

Elias hesitated for two seconds before he answered, "Hello, Mr. Allegra. What is it?"

"It's already going to be the end of the month. When are you going to try on the clothes with Steph? Why didn't you guys go last night?" Jack had no choice but to personally make the request when he noticed that his daughter had failed to try on the wedding attire several times.

"I'll go now," Elias responded. "We didn't do it because it was way too late, and I didn't want Steph to feel drained. That was why I sent her home first. Since I have some time now, I can pick her up if she's at home now."

"Yes, she is. You'd best go over quickly. There's not much time left. We still have a lot to settle after this."

"Yes, Mr. Allegra."

After ending the call, Elias informed Yacob, "Go rush Dr. Smith and ask him for the report."

"Yes."

Elias and Stephanie arrived at the designer's office in the evening.

The attire had been designed a long time ago, but the two of them were reluctant to try it on.

With the assistance of the staff, Stephanie put on the silver mermaid-shaped gown. After they zipped her up, they adjusted her long hair behind her.

Stephanie walked to the mirror, surprised when she saw her reflection. Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The designer, whom her father had his eyes on, was talented. The dress was suitable for Stephanie as it accentuated her assets and covered any shortcomings in her figure. It gave her a shapely figure and portrayed her as a little woman with a sensual appeal.

She felt that she was mature because she had always dressed in the style of a young girl.

"Miss Allegra, this dress has really made you beautiful as it suits your qualities."

The staff standing off to one side complimented Stephanie, but she was rooted to the spot in astonishment. If she was really engaged, she could wear this gown. However...

At this time, the curtain on the other side was also pulled open to reveal Elias, who had changed into his attire. Everyone there was amazed, including the designer, who had perfectly interpreted what the wedding attire stood for.

"Whoa! Your fiancé looks so handsome in this suit. It's my first time seeing such a handsome man."

Only then did Stephanie notice the man behind her in the mirror, leaving her speechless for a few seconds.

She slowly turned to see a man in a black suit in her vision. He was intently buttoning up his cuffs with an indifferent expression, as if he was not the slightest bothered about the suit.

Stephanie couldn't help but gulp. If she had to be honest, the man would look good in any attire, but the design and the sewing of the suit were exceptionally perfect, effectively accentuating his figure. Elias is the epitome of what it means to be wealthy.

Elias' gestures and temperament were that of a nobleman.

The designer took the initiative to ask, "Mr. Winters, what do you think about the suit? Is the size suitable? Do we need to amend it?"

Elias glanced upward and replied perfunctorily, "No. It's alright."

After all, he did not need this suit. If the DNA test results were inconsistent, then he would not be able to wear this suit at the end of the month.

The designer then turned to Stephanie. "How about you, Miss Allegra? Do you need any amendments to your gown? Are you satisfied with the dress?" Stephanie was staring at the man, completely immersed in how he looked.

When she heard the designer's voice, she finally regained her composure and responded, "Huh? Oh, it's pretty good. I don't need any amendments."

The designer then politely replied, "That's good. I'm grateful for the beauty that you two have because it perfectly interprets the design of the attire. It suits both of you and goes together well too. I believe you'll be the focus of the audience with this attire on the day of the engagement ceremony."

All of a sudden, Stephanie subconsciously fantasized about the day of the engagement ceremony.

If she were really to be engaged to Elias, she would be wearing this mermaid-shaped gown, and he would be in his suit. The two of them standing together would definitely look like a match made in heaven.

At the thought of it, a sweet smile appeared on the corner of Stephanie's mouth.

She completely forgot about Crispin, who was still living at the abandoned factory.

"Alright, then. Let's get changed. We need to rush as I still have a dinner to attend."

After he said those words, Elias turned and prepared to head into the changing room to change out of the suit.

On the other hand, Stephanie was dumbfounded and wanted to stop him from changing since his attire was really eye-catching.

At the sight of Elias in this suit, she could envision beautiful pictures in her mind, but unfortunately, the woman whom he still loved was Amanda, his ex-wife and the mother of his child. Stephanie frowned and shook her head to bring herself back to reality.

Gosh, what on earth was I thinking about being engaged to Elias? This is madness. I still have Crisp! Crisp treats me so well, so how can I forget about him? Is this me betraying him on an emotional level? In that instant, Stephanie was condemned by her own morality as she quickly gathered her thoughts and had a change of clothes too.

When they emerged from the designer's office, Stephanie entered the man's car and buckled her seat belt while curiously stating, "It's almost time for the engagement ceremony. Will you be able to keep the promise?"

"Sure. You don't have to worry about me. You just have to worry whether your Crisp can endure it or not." Elias then started the car engine and left the place.

At this, there was a look of disappointment in Stephanie's eyes.
