    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 righttely. How can it be so bad that I copsed?


    “So, I passed out in the hospital?”


    I really know how to choose the ce 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 rity. “Okay. I’m fine now. Let’s go. I still have things to deal


    withter.”


    “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 nced 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 gost 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 toote, 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.


    The designer, whom her father had his eyes on, was talented. The dress was suitable for Stephanie as


    entuated her assets and covered any shorings 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 sideplimented 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 ck 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 entuating 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 nced upward and replied perfunctorily, “No. It’s alright.”


    After all, he did not need this suit. If the DNA test results were inconsistent, th


    wear this suit at the end of the month.


    he would not be able to


    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,pletely immersed in how he looked.


    When she heard the designer’s voice, she finally regained herposure 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.


    Shepletely 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 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 ce.


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