Chapter 429


    Chapter 429 Couldn’t Help but Shiver


    “Are you sure? But I heard that Miss Momsey visits Mr. Winters every day. When did you start working


    for Mr. Winters? I don’t remember seeing your face around.”


    The butler couldn’t remember having the bodyguard around. Is it because I’m getting older? Did my


    memory fail me?


    The bodyguard remained expressionless. “Mills asked me to protect Mr. Winters before he left. In the


    meantime, I only take orders from Mr. Winters”


    Mills? The butler was surprised that the bodyguard referred to Yacob by his surname.


    After a long stare-off, the defeated butler had no choice but to turn and leave.


    Once he arrived in the lobby on the first floor by elevator, he immediately took out his phone and called


    Yacob, but nobody answered.


    He had a feeling that something was wrong. How could a bodyguard, who trained under Yacob,


    address Yacob that way? They usually call him “Yacob.


    Something is fishy about him. He’s most likely an outsider. Besides, I can’t reach Yacob either, which


    further confirmed something isn’t right.


    Inside the sick room, Elias leaned against the bed as he flipped through a financial magazine in


    boredom.


    Meanwhile, Rosie had a gentle smile on her face as she peeled an apple beside him.


    Elias had been itching to use hisputer or his phone a long time ago, but Rosie kept. making up


    excuses and reasons to prevent him from using any of them. It was mainly because she didn’t want


    him to find out the news about Amanda and Aiden online.


    Over thest few days, she had been asking her men to work overtime to delete any photos of Amanda


    and Elias on the inte.


    “Have an apple, Eli,” she said.


    His


    gaze moved from the magazine to her expectant face as he coldly replied, “You can have it. I don’t feel


    like eating.”


    “Oh…” She had no choice but to take a bite of the apple herself before looking at his side profile. “Eli,


    what are you reading? Are you bored? Do you want to go out for a walk in the garden together?”


    |||


    {”


    She had been staying with him over the past few days. Other than her, he had never seen anyone else.


    It’s frustrating.


    Since she imed to be his girlfriend, he had no choice but to bear her


    presence.


    “There’s no need. I want to rest for a while. You should leave. He put the magazine aside.


    Rosie noticed that he was down, so she suggested, “Let’s go for a walk outside. You’ve been cooped


    up here all day. It’s not good for your health. Please, Eli


    Elias stared at the woman in front of him with a nk face. He had zero interest in Rosie. I wonder how


    I fell for her in the first ce.


    He lifted the nket off him and slid out of the bed to leave.


    Rosie grabbed a coat and followed him. “Wait for me. Eli. It’s best to put on a coat. It’s chilly in the


    autumn night.”


    In the garden, Elias looked at the yellow leaves falling before him.


    Beside him. Rosie kept talking about past events, but he wasn’t paying attention to a single word. He


    couldn’t remember spending time with her in the past.


    “Eli, do you remember? You used to take me on trips during autumn, Rosie said with a face full of


    longing. These were the scenes in her dreams, the moments she hoped to experience with Elias one


    day.


    Her dreams would being true if Amanda never came back.


    It was as though God gave her a second chance, so she must seize it.


    Elias nced at her indifferently and answered, “I don’t remember.”


    “Is that so? It’s okay, though. We still have plenty of opportunities to create beautiful memories in the


    future. We’ll make many memories together,” Rosie said in wonderment. Our happy life together is


    about to begin.


    Elias looked at those expectant eyes in silence.


    He felt that he didn’t love Rosie at all, but he couldn’t bring himself to tell her.


    Over the past few days, she told him about many things that happened between them. She


    emphasized that she endured a lot of hardships for him. He felt that he was no different from a


    sc*mbag if he broke up with his girlfriend, who had been staying by his side after he woke up from the


    ident.


    O


    r


    He even instinctively avoided her attempt when she tried to hold his arm.


    Rosie brought a hand to her head awkwardly as she spoke up to smooth things over. “It’s okay. I


    understand that you haven’t fully recovered your memory, so you don’t remember anything. I won’t rush


    you. Take your time.”


    She was so understanding, causing him to feel a sense of guilt. However, he couldn’t ignore the strong


    sense of resistance in him.


    Rosie was still chattering about their past, but Elias decided to cut in. “If I never get my memory back


    and can’t remember you, will you still wait for me?”


    He was told that he had been in aa after the ident and almost became a vegetable. However,


    Rosie stayed by his bedside the whole time, never leaving. Atst, he finally woke


    1.


    She was stunned for a moment before casting a smile at him. “Yes, I’ll wait. Otherwise, you’ll definitely


    me me if I don’t once you recover your memoryter.”


    He was speechless. Having nothing more to say, he moved forward in silence.


    He didn’t know what would happen after he regained his memory. At this stage, he didn’t have any


    feelings for her. He treated her colder than he treated a stranger.


    Since he hardly said anything along the way, Rosie couldn’t figure him out.


    Before the ident, she couldn’t even get close to him. But even though he lost his memory for the


    time being, she still felt like she hadn’t gotten any closer to him.


    At least we are closer than before. At least Eli believes that I’m his girlfriend.


    “Eli, what are you thinking? Do you mind telling me? After all, we are dating,” Rosie said.


    Elias’ attitude was cold. “Nothing. Just thinking about when I can leave the hospital. I want to go home.”

    Home… Just mentioning the word “home” made Rosie tremble with fear.


    For now, she could keep Elias locked in a world in which only she existed. However, once they returned


    to the Winters Estate, he would see so many servants there. All of them knew about Amanda and


    Aiden’s existence.


    When the time came, he would spot her fabricated lies.


    No! Eli can’t go home!


    “But Eli, I don’t want you to go home.” Rosie blocked his path.

    Elias frowned. “Why? What’s the reason?


    “Because… Because once you go home, you’ll throw yourself into intense work again and forget about


    me, your girlfriend. Now I enjoy every single day, which I can stay by your side all the time,” Rosie


    confessed.


    Elias couldn’t help but shiver at the words. They were too cheesy, and he couldn’t bear to


    listen.


    However, Rosie imed to be his girlfriend. Therefore, there was no way he could react


    uncharacteristically.


    “It can’t be helped. Otherwise, the Winters Family wouldn’t be able to maintain its glory”


    Rosie clenched her fists and bit her lip, unable to form a protest.
