Seeing that he said nothing, Amanda let out a sneer and turned toward the guest room. I’ll just take a
shower, get changed, and get out of here as soon as possible.
While she was showering and getting changed, Elias stood outside the room, smoking one cigarette
after another. In reality, he wasn’t entirely skeptical about what she said. He did seriously ponder if she
was telling the truth.
The door opened with a click. Amanda came out of the room, having changed into clean clothes.
“Thanks,” she said to him expressionlessly before walking to the elevator without even looking back.
She didn’t want to stay here even for a second.
Catching up with her, the man suddenly said, “You couldn’t resist hitting Grace when you went to her
that day. I can understand that.” After all, had it not been for Grace, Amanda wouldn’t have lost her
baby for no reason back then.
Amanda replied, “No, you don’t understand. To this day, you still don’t understand why I hate Grace so
much. But now, I don’t want your understanding anymore.” Standing before the elevator, she looked at
the man next to her, who looked so much like Aiden. They’re truly father and son. She had to admit that
the idea of reuniting Aiden with this guy had sprung up in her mind many times during this period, but
now, she had abandoned this idea altogether. I’d better let Aiden grow up by my side. It goes without
saying that he can enjoy a life of wealth and high society once he returns to the Winters Family, but
countless women are eyeing the position of the wife of the future head of the Winters Family. It’s hard
to imagine what they’ll do to Aiden in order to get this position, and besides, Elias can’t even tell when
a woman is only pretending to be pure and innocent. This is too dangerous. I’ve brought Baby up well
over thest four years; surely, I can raise him to adulthood in the future.
Elias replied, “In that case, you should tell me about it. How am I supposed to know if you’re not saying
anything?” He was getting more and more puzzled as to what this woman was trying to say. She
always spoke ambiguously, as though there was more to it than what she said.
The elevator door opened with a Ding! However, Amanda ignored the manpletely and was about
to get into the elevator.
Elias took her hand at once. He couldn’t help but say, “Stop going on blind dates, okay? You won’t fall
for those men, so stop wasting your time. It’ll only make me fret, I know you’re sincerely trying to get on
my nerves, and you’ve achieved your purpose. You don’t have to go on blind dates anymore.” Knowing
that Amanda had gone on a blind date with a man, he felt so awful as though his heart were being
gnawed at by thousands of ants.
Amanda’s voice was chilly, as if she didn’t give a damn about this guy. “You had no right to ask that of
me before giving me that p across the face, nor do you have the right to ask me after that. Please
understand your present circumstances, Mr. Winters.”
Elias’ good-looking face turned sullen. He asked in a stern voice, “Amanda, what do you want so that
you’ll give me a chance?” He honestly wanted to know what it would take to get her to open up and
ept him. Right now, she chose to ignore him no matter what he did. She wouldn’t ept him at all,
which put him at a loss for what to do.
Looking sideways at him, Amanda replied with a calm expression, “You want to know how?”
Elias waited for her answer, his eyes fixed on her fine features.
“Unless you kneel in front of me.”
Kneel down… A hint of shock flickered across Elias’ pitch-ck eyes. He had never knelt down in front
of anyone before-not even his own grandfather and father. And now, Amanda was asking him to kneel
down before a woman…
Amanda removed his hand from hers and entered the elevator, upon which the elevator door slowly
closed. Needless to say, she knew there was no way Elias could do so. How could a proud golden boy
like him easily kneel down in front of a woman? Even if he were to be reduced to poverty, he probably
wouldn’t kneel down in front of anyone either. That was exactly why she asked him to do such a thing
that he couldn’t possibly do-to embarrass him and make things difficult for him so that he would give
up. He’d rather be dead than kneel down in front of someone. She knew this man very well. There’s no
way he can do it; he wouldn’t be caught dead doing that.
Standing in front of the French window upstairs, Elias watched Amanda get in the car before the
chauffeur drove her out of the estate. His pitch-ck eyes had vexation written all over them. This
woman is determined to cut all ties with me. She’s asking me to kneel down… There’s no way I can do
that! I am Elias Winters! Did I ever kneel in front of anyone? No, no one has ever deserved to have me
kneeling before them!
Just then, his phone began vibrating. He darted a look at it; it was a phone call from Grace. He had no
desire to answer the phone whatsoever, but the phone kept ringing, as if she were going to keep calling
until he answered the phone. In the end, he answered the phone with an irritable expression, asking.
“What else do you want to say?”
Grace screamed, “Elias, you’ve gone too far! You actually had all thosements in favor of me
deleted from the inte, and you even sued those tabloid magazines and entertainment news
websites that helped me set the record straight! Do you hate me that much, or do you love Amanda
that much? Are you still gonna defend her like this even after she did something wrong? Didn’t you see
my face? The doctor said there’s no way for it to be restored to the way it was! What should I do?!
What’s going to be of me?!” She sounded very devastated over the phone. She was almost mad
with rage; none of her borate ns could be carried out because of the man’s suppression!
Elias replied in a grim voice, “Had it not been for you, she wouldn’t have lost her baby four years ago.
Had it not been for you, she wouldn’t have had to lead a wandering life over the past four years!”
Stupefied, Grace was startled for a long time on the other end. “So, you mean that I deserve to get my
face disfigured? Do I deserve to end up like this now? Elias Winters, are you even talking sense?!”
In an instant, Elias felt a headacheing on. He pinched the space between his eyebrows with
slender fingers, saying, “I’ve contacted medical specialists from abroad to hold a consultation to
remove your scar as much as possible. All you have to do now is stay cheerful and wait for them to
arrive.”
Grace retorted, “It’s useless! It’s impossible; there’s no such technology to remove scars 100 percent
yet! With a face like this, no man would want to marry me. What am I going to do for the rest of my life?
Amanda ruined the rest of my life! All I wanted was to set the record straight for the public, and yet you
stopped me in every possible way! You simply can’t tell right from wrong. and you’re so unfair! Elias,
I’m so disappointed with you!” With that, she hung up the phone right
away.
Looking at the disconnected phone, Elias couldn’t help butugh sorrowfully. He repeated, “Unfair,
huh…” Just who am I being unfair to? Amanda thinks I’m biased in favor of Grace, while Grace thinks
I’m biased in favor of Amanda.
After returning to the vi in Gxy Bay, Amanda found the house empty. Hmm? This is odd. Why
aren’t Selina and Baby home? Didn’t I tell her to stay put here lest her wife-beater of a husbandes
to pick on her? Why is there no sign of them? “Selina? Aiden? Where are you?” she shouted around
the house, but she didn’t find the two. Sitting on the couch, she dialed Selina’s number, which was
answered almost immediately. “Where are you, Selina? Didn’t I tell you to stay home?”
“Amanda, I’m taking the kid out to the movies. Aiden’s been asking to see a movie, saying that other
kids have seen it.”
“Oh, is that so? Well then, I’lle and pick you up. Which movie theater are you at?” She took a look
at the time. I’d better pick them up myself, or else I’ll get really worried.
