    Chapter 163 Her Curiosity


    First love? Amanda’s hand paused mid-air while she was eating when she heard the words. Elias’ first


    love? Her head twirled over unwittingly as her curiosity got the better of her.


    Elias had a puzzled look on his face as he retorted, “When did I-”


    up


    Halfway through his sentence, something popped up in his mind. Is this the character Lazarus has


    made for me just to make Amanda jealous? He stole a look at Amanda at the dining table, and she


    seemed rather


    curious, too. As he had already handed his path to win back his wife into Lazarus’ hands, he had to


    follow through with his ns.


    After a few seconds of hesitation, he said to Boris, “Tell her to wait for me at home. I’ll be backter.”


    Then, he hung up and continued eating at the table.


    However, the atmosphere had turned even weirder, and Amanda couldn’t take another bite of food


    anymore because her mind was filled with his call earlier. Does he have a first love? The whole time,


    she thought that his first love was Grace, but that didn’t seem to be the case now.


    On the other hand, he already told her a long time ago that he didn’t love Grace and never did. All he


    had for her was that damned sense of responsibility. Is his first love someone else? From the way he


    instructed his butler, it looked like he knew who it was, she thought, her curiosity growing with every


    passing second,


    She took another bite of food as she sneaked a look at his face and broke the silence at the dining


    table. “Your… first love is here to look for you?” He raised his head at her, and she added with augh,


    “Don’t get me wrong. I’m just curious because I thought that Grace is your first love but it seems I’ve


    gotten it wrong. How old were you when you had your first love? Did it happen abroad?”


    She remembered that he had studied abroad for years, Did his first love ur abroad? Her heart fell to


    the bottom of her stomach at the thought of this. The food in her mouth turned tasteless and was even


    a little bitter.


    In the meantime, Elias recalled Lazarus’ guess, which was not far off from the truth. Lazarus had told


    him. that Amanda would be curious about his first love and how he should answer if she asked about it


    so that he could make her jealous.


    Even though he had scoffed at it, he couldn’t stop himself from giving it a try to test out her reaction.


    So, he ced his cutlery down and said in his husky voice, “I’ve told you before that I don’t love Grace


    and merely felt indebted to her. As for my first love, it’s already in the past and there’s no point


    mentioning it now. I was young and impulsive.”


    His answer took her by surprise. Generally, women would like to know what the object of a man’s


    impulses looked like when he was young. What kind of person she was and what was it about her that


    made him fall madly in love with her? The rtionship one had when one was young was the sincerest


    and the purest, and she was a little curious about what kind of girl Elias liked when he was young. He


    was probably an attention-catching senior in school when he was young, and there were probably a lot


    of girls who liked him…


    Thus, she pretended to relish the dish in front of her as she tried to ask nonchntly, “Do you still like


    the same type of girl as you did when you were young? Did your taste change? You probably had a


    preference for fresh-faced girls when you were young, didn’t you? Or did you prefer sweet girls? Or


    maybe a cool, aloof girl?” Again, she couldn’t stop herself from bombarding him with questions, and


    immediately after. regret washed over her. I’ve already cut off all ties with him and also rejected his


    proposal. Why do I still care about what kind of girl he liked when he was young? Do I have nothing


    else on my mind?


    Nevertheless, her curiosity would only grow if she didn’t find out about this, and even though she was


    aware that she shouldn’t care about any of this, she still wanted to know.


    Elias could read the curiosity on her face and thought. Who would have thought that Lazarus’ tactic is


    working? A mischievous thought started to sprout in his mind as he began making up stories. “I don’t


    know. how I should describe it. Maybe a fresh-faced girl, but with a proud personality. I was young and


    ignorant, so I didn’t have that many requirements when it came to the first girl I fell for. All I knew was, I


    fell for her and that was it. There was nothing such as a certain type.”


    Amanda’s heart wrenched painfully. The first girl he fell for…


    The biggest taboo for a woman was a man’s first love. Moreover, the first girl that he fell for came from


    the most primitive impulses a man had for a woman and she really wanted to know how that girl


    looked. Judging from the call earlier, she reckoned that she was now waiting for him at Winters Estate.


    Suddenly, he raised his arm and checked the time. Then, he set aside his fork, wiped his mouth with a


    napkin, and said, “Enjoy your meal. I have something else to attend to and gotta go now, but you can


    call me if you need anything. I’ll visit Aiden again in a few days.”


    He got up and wanted to leave, but she stopped him, calling, “Hey, you-”


    “What’s the matter?” he asked, twirling his head at her.


    She wanted to say something but soon recalled that she wasn’t in any position to ask him questions.


    So, she simply smiled and shook her head. [Nothing. Go ahead and get your business done, then.”


    Elias didn’t say anything else as he grabbed his jacket and headed to the living room to say goodbye to


    his son, and she followed behind to send him off. In the living room, Aiden was still wearing the Harry


    Potter costume and waving the wand in his hand as he danced around the room in delight.


    “Aiden, I’m leaving now. You should go to bed early tonight or you’ll bete tomorrow.”


    Aiden nodded his head obediently. “Bye-bye, Mr. Winters. Be careful when you’re driving”


    Eliasughed. This brat is rather considerate. It would have been amazing if he was a little girl. He


    ruffled Aiden’s hair and couldn’t wait for the day when he would call him ‘Daddy’ and wondered when


    that day would arrive.

    “Be good. I’ll visit you next time and take you somewhere fun again.” After that, he spun around and


    nced at Amanda. “You should turn in early as well since you have to go to mypany tomorrow.


    You can go to my office directly if you encounter any issues, but I have more meetings tomorrow. So,


    you can wait in my office if it’s nothing urgent.”


    As Amanda had epted the position of legal consultant in Elias’pany, she had to go to his


    company tomorrow to go through the files needed.


    She gave him a nod. “I got it.” However, her mind was brooding over his first love. Is he rushing back to


    meet her? After all, she’s waiting for him at the Winters Estate… She watched as he walked out the


    door before returning to her meal at the dining table with dejected eyes, her appetite had all but


    evaporated into thin air.


    Selina entered the dining room with a bowl of soup in her hands but discovered that Elias had already


    left. “Where’s he? Why did he leave?” she asked. “I just made this soup…”


    Amanda sighed softly. “Never mind. He’s busy with his private affairs.”


    Her mind kept wondering what would happen after Elias met up with his first love. Would they rekindle


    their spark and spend the night together? The next second, she shook her head to rid herself of that


    nonsense. What’s this? Why are my thoughts so filthy?
