Chapter 610 A Life for a Life

Ilis kisses had always been seductive and could stir her emotions.

Their tongues intertwined as he took her breath away. As she clutched at his shirt in a desperate bid for air, Elias released her, then kissed a path from her jaw to her neck and chest.

He couldn’t seem to get enough of her.

Ashley was

If men could separate sex from love, then so could women. Ashley never believed that accepting Elias‘ advances meant that she had feelings for him. She was merely addressing her own needs.

So, she just let it be

Ashley gripped the sheets tightly as Ellas lowered his head to kiss her belly. She was nearly six months pregnant now, and her belly had grown a little. The thought of their child softened him, and he kissed her belly more. But suddenly, he stopped.

Ashley’s eyes were misty, and she felt uncomfortable with his sudden pause. “What’s wrong?

Elias raised his head with a thought. “The baby kicked me.

Ashley was stunned. She had indeed felt the baby move fast then. She smiled faintly and said, “You’re such a lecher. Even the baby can’t stand you.” Flias rarely saw her smile. The sight stirred the emotions in him, and he grabbed her chin to savor her smile.

up with a warm towel and change

Ashley felt quite sleepy after their intimate moments. Her eyelids grow heavy, and she allowed Elias to help her clean up with a into her pajamas.

She didn’t want to move anymore, and as soon as she was wrapped in the blanket, she fell asleep.

After showering, Elias joined her in bed and wrapped his arms around her from behind. She pushed him away, complaining about the heat, but he persistently tried to snuggle closer. Despite her pushing him away twice, he responded each time by pulling her closer.

Ashley said irritably, “It’s too hot”

Only then did Elias finally let go of her

Ashley thought he wouldn’t bother her again. However, she felt a gentle breeze a short while later. When she turned her head, she saw that Elias was using a folded piece of A4 paper as a fan to cool her down.

The breeze was just right and might help her sleep.

“Honey, go to sleep,” he said.

The following day, Elias dropped Ashley off at her law firm before heading to the office. He carefully reminded her by saying, “Make sure to rest. I’ll bring you lunch.”

Ashley, who was used to his attentiveness, responded faintly before getting out of the car.

However, she was greeted by chaos as soon as she entered the office.

“Someone must pay for the murder! Why should my son’s murderers go unpunished? You heartless lawyers must have been paid by their families! Is the life of my son not le? You’re helping these criminals, and there will be retribution!”

Ashley recognized the voice immediately. It was Roman Ellis, Theo’s father, causing another disturbance.

The office was in disarray, with lawyers and security trying to control Roman. Ashley, who was unwilling to get involved, pulled out her phone to call the police.

“Hello, Officer Austin. Theo’s father is causing a scene at my firm again. Yes, please come quickly.”

As soon as Ashley ended the call, Roman noticed her. His eyes burned with rage as he stormed up to her. “It’s you! You immoral lawyer! You’re defending a murderer! My son was only 15! If you don’t make the murderer pay for my son’s death, then you’ll have to pay for it yourself!”

Ashley stepped back quickly. Just as Roman’s hand was about to strike her, someone abruptly stepped in front of her. The figure seized Roman’s hand and prepared to kick him.

Ashley cried urgently, “Elias! Don’t!”

Ellas struggled to restrain himself. Nevertheless, he increased the pressure on Roman’s hand, and it made him cry out in pain.

Ellas smiled and said with a chill in his voice, “A child’s behavior reflects his upbringing. You raised a bully, and now that he’s dead, you’re the one to blame. Since you’ve failed to teach your son, society will do it for you.”

Roman yelled, “You.. Let.. Let me go! A lawyer is attacking
