Chapter 6


    Chapter 6 Make Sure You Get Back Together


    Having not stepped foot in this manor for four years, Amanda found herself inexplicably sad. Her brows


    involuntarily tightened as she recalled many events from the past. In the meantime, Elias tugged her


    into the garden. When she saw Howard’s hoary back from afar, she felt tears welling up in her guilty


    eyes. Hearing the footsteps, he turned around only to see his b*stard grandson and snorted. “Why are


    you here? Scram!” Since Elias’ tall figure was covering Amanda, he moved to the side and asked, “You


    don’t want to see me, but I bet you want to see her, right?” Hearing that, Howard turned around again,


    shocked at whom he saw. “Amanda? Is that you?” “Grandpa… It’s me.” Her voice sounded choked. He


    was ecstatic and strode over with his walking stick, but he pulled a long face and reprimanded, “Where


    have you been all these years? I’ve looked everywhere for you! I need to know why you guys divorced!


    Didn’t you promise you wouldn’t divorce him no matter what happened?” When Elias saw how worked


    up Howard was, he was at a loss for words. It was as though Amanda was the Winters Family’s real


    granddaughter while he was picked up from somewhere. “Grandpa, I’m sorry… I let you down.” Back


    then, she had promised him that she would not divorce Elias no matter what happened, but the


    sc*mbag had gotten another woman pregnant! What was she to do besides divorcing him? “Amanda,


    tell me the truth. Did this b*stard force you into divorce? You’re a good child, and I know that brat’s


    character very well, so tell me the truth!” Howard looked at her anticipatingly because he refused to


    believe she would renege on her words. Elias narrowed his eyes at her as if warning, “Watch what you


    say!” Since she did not want anything to do with him, she did not want to agonize the innocent Howard


    either. “Grandpa, we broke up on good terms. I don’t love him anymore, nor does he, so we divorced.


    None of us forced the other.” She smiled while saying that, hoping he could find peace with this


    information. Unexpectedly, he suddenly roared, “That’s impossible! Have you forgotten your promise to


    me? You said you’d love Elias forever and will still love him even if he doesn’t love you back. How


    could you change your mind so suddenly? I don’t believe you! That brat must’ve forced you into getting


    a divorce. Did he tell you to say that too?” “Grandpa… That’s not it.” “Amanda, have you begun lying to


    me as well? You’re not like that. You loved Elias to death, so why would you change your mind soCcontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    quickly?” He could not ept Amanda’s exnation because it was a lie. At his boiling point, Elias


    argued, “Grandpa, can you be more reasonable? You didn’t believe me when I said we broke up on


    good terms. How are you still so stubborn after Amanda told you the truth?” “You b*stard! Don’t think I


    don’t know what you’re up to! Unless you anger me to death, that clown will never join the Winters


    Family! The only daughter-inw we acknowledge is Amanda!” He did not forget to pat her hand,


    adding, “Don’t worry. He can’t do anything to you with me here. I will get you guys back together


    someday.” Amanda was at a loss for words when faced with Howard’s stubbornness. Tired of


    pretending, she decided to tell the truth. “Grandpa, we can’t get back together anymore. The child he


    and that woman had should be turning three soon, and you can’t expect me to be a stepmom,


    right? I can’t do that, so I’m sorry.” Remembering when Elias brought that woman home with the


    pregnancy news, she did a rough estimation and assumed the child might be the same age as Aiden.


    When Howard heard her, his eyes widened, and his jaw dropped. Simrly, Elias’ face instantly fell, and


    he pursed his thin lips. “A child? What child? Where did thate from? Did you and that clown have a


    child?” Howard nced at Elias, unconvinced. Elias denied it, but his helpless visage sold him out.


    “No.” “You b*stard! I’ll ask you again. Did you have a child with that woman? How could such a woman


    bear the heir to our family?” Howard screamed his usation, pointing his walking stick at his


    grandson. Suppressing his rage, Elias attempted to defend himself again. “We didn’t have a child


    together!” “If you dare to get that clown pregnant, I’ll never forgive you. I…” Howard only spoke half his


    sentence before losing his footing and falling to the ground. “Grandpa!” Elias’ obsidian eyes filled with


    shock as he ran over to catch Howard’s body. On the other hand, Amanda’s mind went nk at the


    unfolding scene. “Grandpa…” … Outside Howard’s bedroom, the private doctor exited and stood


    before Elias and Amanda after thirty minutes. “Old Mr. Winters was exasperated, causing his blood


    pressure to surge. I gave him medication to control his blood pressure, so he’s fine now. Let him rest,


    and don’t provoke him again.” After listening to the doctor’s exnation, Amanda instantly felt relieved.


    Elias pushed the door open and peeked inside before closing it again upon confirmation that Howard


    was asleep. Turning to look at her, he offered, “I’ll send you home.” She did not respond and led the


    way. Now that she had calmed down, she suddenly remembered what Howard had said earlier… So, it


    turns out that Grandpa didn’t know about the child, but why did Elias deny the child’s presence? The


    clown Grandpa was talking about was called Grace. Could she be the woman Elias brought home


    years ago? A clown… Is she a celebrity? Fishing out her phone, Amanda searched her name and soon


    found results on Grace Murphy. Her eyes widened in shock because Grace was not the woman he had


    brought home four years ago! Abruptly, she halted her footsteps and turned to look at the tall man


    behind her. “So, the woman you brought back four years ago wasn’t pregnant. Am I right?” There was


    never a child. Was all that just a ploy to push the divorce narrative and make way for Grace? Elias


    coldly replied, “Yes.” Yes?! How could he be so calm? So, he made up a fake child and divorced me for


    the love of his life? And I had no idea about who my love rival was! Was he so in love with Grace that


    he would use such a despicable trick to end our marriage? I almost went and aborted my baby boy! At


    that instant, Amanda was ovee with rage and swung her hand at the man’s handsome face.


    Unsurprisingly, he effortlessly stopped her and roared, “Are you crazy?” “Elias Winters! You will never


    know about his existence!” After that, she stormed away, vowing that she and her baby would never


    forgive him. The stranded man stood in his spot, staring at the furious figure. Whose existence?
