    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


    ce was a restaurant and not a hotel room. Otherwise, she wouldn’t havee.


    Meanwhile, the man continued to examine her appearance. Judging from the smile on his lips, he


    seemed pretty satisfied. “I’m here to reim my child. As you should know, the Lawrence Family will


    never abandon their offspring.”


    When she heard that, she waspletely 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 youe 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 intoughter 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.”


    After 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


    red 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 darede 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 nced 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 Vi. When he passed by Amanda’s room, he nced inside and thought, She must be asleep


    by now. I shouldn’t disturb her.


    Before he left the vi, he deliberately nced 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 nned to get some rest himself. It had been an exhausting day, and he had to wake up early


    tomorrow to apany Aiden to kindergarten.


    Little did he know that Amanda was no longer at the Allegra Vi. 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 tasksplete.


    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 nce. 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 with hisck 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 nced at the door behind the man, trying to find an opportunity to escape, but his tall figure


    seemed like an imprable 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 myst 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 using


    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?”
