calmly took her hand and suggested, “Let’s discuss this outside so we don’t disturb our son. Besides,
he needs to bathe, and the nanny is waiting.”
She was speechless and thought, This man surely knows how toe up with excuses.
Their son chimed in with a touch of teasing. “Daddy, Mommy is mad at you. You should calm her down.
It’s not easy to soothe her when she’s upset.”
“Aiden Bailey, hush!”
“Oops… Mommy, you don’t look pretty when you’re angry.” Aiden then yfully stuck out his tongue

She found herself at a loss for words as he skillfully used her words against her.
“Aiden, be a good boy and let the nanny help you with your bath.”

Elias smiled helplessly and replied, “I know.” He then led Amanda back to their master bedroom. She

Then, he took off his suit jacket and tossed it on the bed, loosened his tie, and sat at the edge of the
bed. He looked at his wife and asked, “Honey, are you not going to talk to me?”
However, she remained silent as her hands idly toyed with the cosmetics at the dressing table.
Elias chuckled lightly, loosened his shirt cor, and got up. He approached Amanda from behind and

bathroom, not giving him a chance to respond.
He stared at the closed bathroom door, realizing that sleeping on the couch wasn’t an option. He had a
wife to share a bed with, and the thought of sleeping alone was unthinkable.
The sound of running water echoed from the bathroom. As Elias heard it, he couldn’t help. but picture
Amanda showering inside, making his Adam’s apple bob nervously. How could I possibly sleep on the
couch with that image in my
head?
Ten minutester, she emerged from the bathroom wearing her pajamas. Her hair was partially dried,
her skin wless, and her slender figure alluring in the lightweight sleepwear, radiating an irresistible
charm.

the time.
He looked at her with longing eyes and spoke hoarsely, “Honey, don’t be so hard on me. I haven’t done
anything unforgivable. I hung up your call to prevent Rosie from getting angry at you.”
“Enough. I don’t want to hear any excuses. Don’t attempt to talk your way out of this, or I won’t forgive
you.”
Elias approached the bed, and the scent of Amanda’s shower gel wafted through the room, tantalizing
his senses. “I messed up. I promise not to hang up your calls again, okay?”
“Stop talking and go take your shower.” She saw through his intentions but intended to give him a
lesson.
“After my shower, can I sleep on the bed?”
“Forget it! The couch is your only option tonight, or I’ll sleep in the other room. You decide.”
Observing her resolute stance, he let out a resigned sigh. Then, he removed his shirt, revealing his
toned chest and abs, and headed to the bathroom.
Meanwhile, Amanda couldn’t help but steal a nce at Elias’ chiseled physique and couldn’t help but
wonder, Is he using his muscr charm to entice me? Unfortunately for him, I won’t fall for
this.
After hearing the sound of water running in the bathroom, she couldn’t help but scoff as she scrolled
through her Twitter feed.
Later, he emerged from the bathroom, draped in just a towel around his waist, his wet hair clinging to
his forehead.

Without looking at him, she warned, “Don’te any closer, and don’t provoke me.”
Still, he tried to coax her, “Honey, please let me sleep on the bed. A grown man like me squeezed onto
that couch can’t possibly get a good night’s sleep.”
“Then, sleep on the floor.” She briefly shed a smile, and as she looked up, she inadvertently caught
sight of his gleaming abs before quickly averting her eyes.
“Sleep on the floor? Amanda, do you have to be so merciless? Haven’t I apologized enough?”
“No, I’m just not pleased. I want you on the floor. If you don’t want to, head to the next room. We
absolutely can’t share the bed tonight.”
Elias finally grasped the seriousness of the situation and reluctantly agreed, settling for the couch. He
understood that Amanda was determined to make him ufortable that night. His handsome face
tensed briefly before he turned toward the couch. “If I have to sleep here, let me stay in your room.”
She couldn’t help but crack a faint smile, swiftly concealing it from his view.

softening as if he sought somepassion.
However, she scoffed and said, “Then, sleep on the floor since there’s plenty of space there.”
Elias gazed at Amanda, who was tucked into the bed, a cunning smile ying on his lips. He was well

small ruse. “Honey, something is moving next to you. What did you put there?”
Her eyes immediately widened, and her entire body tensed. She didn’t dare to make a single.
