Chapter 218


    Chapter 218 Otherwise, I’ll tten This ce Tonight!


    Yacob drove Elias around in search of Amanda, as they still needed some time to pinpoint her location


    via her phone.


    Elias’ expression waspletely serious. All he could think about was how pitiful Amanda seemed


    while crying in the parking lot, and he wondered if he had been too harsh with his words. But if he


    weren’t harsh with Amanda, the cavesdropping Jack,would not believe him, and he would not be able


    to use Jack like how he nned.


    Elias looked out the window at the quiet street. It waste at night, so where could she be, and why did


    she not return home? Could she be hiding somewhere, crying her heart out? With his knowledge of


    Amanda, that seemed to happen quite frequently.


    At that thought. Elias felt a pang in his heart, and his thick eyshes trembled.


    When Yacob saw his boss’ worried expression through the rearview mirror, heforted, “Mr. Winters,


    don’t worry. We’ve already begun tracking her phone, so I’m sure we will get the results very soon.”


    Just as Yacob was speaking, his phone rang, and he answered it with a serious expression. It seemed


    like they had found where Amanda’s phone was located.


    After hanging up. Yacob turned the car around and headed in another direction. “We’ve found her.


    They say she was at a bar an hour ago, and her current location is at Gxy Bay,” Yacob exined.


    Gxy Bay? Elias’ expression instantly turned grim as he realized that was where Simon was living.


    Could they be…


    With his fists clenched, Elias pursed his lips and ordered. “Faster. Drive faster!”


    “Roger that!” Yacob stomped on the elerator.


    Since Amanda was with Simon, it was natural for Elias to be anxious, but what confused Yacob was


    that his boss had previously mentioned letting go of Amanda, so why was he so worked up about which


    man she was with now? Yacob felt at a loss for words.


    At Gxy Bay.


    Simon watched Amanda sleeping and listened to her mumbling. When he saw her frown, he could not


    hold back his desire to hold her hand. “I said I can protect you, but why won’t you give me a chance to


    do so? Why don’t you believe that I like you?”


    The truth was that Simon discovered he seemed to have fallen in love with Amanda at some point.


    Saying they could get married and develop feelingster was just an excuse back then. He wanted to


    marry Amanda and live a life with her. That was it.


    Suddenly, the sleeping Amanda began talking in her sleep again while tightly clutching Simon’s hand.


    “Don’t… Don’t go, please… Don’t go, Mom. Don’t leave me alone. Don’t go. Mom”


    She was like a helpless child, softly mumbling as tears flowed from the corner of her eyes.


    The sight of her took Simon by surprise because he did not expect her to start crying. He grabbed a


    tissue to wipe her tears.


    At that moment, the sound of the doorbell ringing came from outside, causing him to frown. Who would


    come at such ate hour?


    The doorbell rang again, sounding more anxious than the previous time like it was rushing the person


    inside.


    Frowning, Simon headed downstairs to the entrance and looked through the video doorbell to see who


    was outside. Elias Winters? How did he find out Amanda’s here so quickly? Ha…


    However, Simon chose not to open the door and instead used the inte. “Go home. Amanda’s


    drunk and can’t go home now. She’s sleeping. I’ll send her home tomorrow.”


    Outside, Elias was suddenly infuriated and mmed his fist on the door, roaring. I’m warning you!


    Return Amanda to me, or I’ll tten this ce tonight!”


    Simon, however, was unfazed. He chuckled and stated, “So be it. Let me see how strong you are.”


    Elias went straight toward the car, nning to drive it through the door.


    Unexpectedly, he heard Simon’s voiceing through the inte. “I wanted to ask what you did to


    Amanda to make her this way. She’s having dreams tonight, scolding you and asking you to leave. She


    says she never wants to see you again and called you a se mbag. I knew you were a sc*mbag long


    ago, but she seemed very sad. What did you do to her?”


    The man’s footsteps stopped as his tall figure froze in his spot. After almost an eternity, Elias ordered.


    “Send Amanda home tomorrow. If you dare to touch her tonight, I’ll kill you tomorrow.”


    Once he was done, he headed for the car with Yacob following behind him, calling. “Mr. Winters?”


    “Let’s go home, the man coldly instructed before getting in the back seat.


    Yacob was stunned for a moment. Why are we suddenly leaving now that we have found Amanda?


    But as Elias’ bodyguards, it was not his ce to say anything. Yacob had to do as his boss said, so he


    got in the driver’s seat and slowly drove away.


    Back inside, Simon watched Elias leave and could not help but feel curious about what happened


    between the two and what made the furious Elias suddenly calm down and actually leave without doing


    anything.

    If it had been in the past, it was impossible for Elias not to start a fight, and he might even drive the car


    into the door, but now….


    Simon unconsciously nced upstairs, guessing an irrevocable conflict must have broken out between


    the


    two.


    It was past 10.00AM the next day when Amanda woke up with a migraine from being drunkst night.


    Fortunately, she had drunk some peppermint tea, so her headache was less severe.


    While sitting up in a daze, she looked at the decor around her. This… does not look like home. Is this a


    hotel? But it looks familiar.


    It was until the room’s door was pushed open and Simon came in with some peppermint tea that she


    finally realized where she was.


    So, this is Gxy Bay


    “Simon? Why am I here?” She could vaguely remember getting drunk at a barst night but could not


    remember anything that transpired after that.


    After giving her the tea, Simon exined, “Drink this. It’s peppermint tea. Your headache will get better


    after drinking this.”


    Stunned, Amanda took the tea and finished it in one go because she was quite thirsty. “Thank you.


    Simon sat on the side. When he saw she had sobered up. he asked, “What happenedst night? Why


    did you go to the bar and get drunk? I saw you when my friends and I went there to have something to


    drink. You were already drunk then, so I brought you home.”


    “Oh… So that’s what happened…” Amanda’s gaze suddenly dimmed again. That was because she


    unconsciously recalled the things Elias said at the parking lot. Every word was harsher and more


    hurtful than thest.


    Her eyes could not help but be filled with tears. It was as if she had returned to the suffocating parking


    lot fromst night.


    Seeing that she kept quiet and even had tears in her eyes, Simon could not help himself and asked,


    “Amanda? What are you thinking about?”
