As Elias leaned closer to Amanda and his handsome face loomed before her, he spoke in a
deep and cold voice. “So? Are you afraid of what I might do?”
“Me? No! I’m just reminding you to watch your words and actions!” She struggled to
retract her hand, but the man’s grip only tightened.
His anger was uncontrollable now as he growled through gritted teeth, “Amanda, are you
ignoring my words? I told you to stay away from that father and son. And what do you do?
Not only do you not stay away, but you also get closer to them. Are you just using me for
your own gain? You are going to turn your back on me now that you’ve found the kid?”
With how terrifying Elias looked, Amanda felt as if he was going to get violent anytime
now. Suddenly, she desperately tried to retract her hand out of fear. “When did I turn my
back on you? Stop accusing me!”
“Then stay away from that father and son! Do you hear me? Do you think I’m someone
you can u throw away? You will die horribly if you play games with me.” The man made a
point with his w pitch-black eyes were locked on her.
She suddenly felt a chill down her spine.
This man was terrifying when he lost his temper, suffocating her as if she were plunging
into the boundless darkness.
“Elias, don’t you think you are asking for too much? You want me by your side, but you
don’t want to up taking care of Grace. No woman can tolerate that!”
After saying this, even Amanda herself was somewhat surprised. I… care about these
things? I thought I didn After all, I don’t even know what relationship it is I have with Elias
now. He forced me to sleep with him a few times four years ago, but why am I starting to
care that he is taking care of Grace?
Elias’ pitch-black eyes flickered slightly, and he asked in a deep voice, “Are you jealous?
Do you Then, why don’t you speak up? Why are you acting like you don’t give a sh*t about
it?”

“I’ve told you before that I don’t love Grace. I just owe her, that’s all.”
mind?
The man explained once again even though he used to dislike explaining himself. Although
he hadn’t realized it yet, it seemed that he had somewhat changed because of Amanda.
After hearing Yacob’s narrative last night, Amanda had a rough idea of why Elias treated
Grace with such
care.
However, she just couldn’t accept the fact that there was an entanglement between Elias
and Grace. What he did for Grace far exceeded what love was supposed to be.
“It’s none of my business. After all, we’re already divorced. I seriously don’t understand
you. Grace is beautiful, she loves you very much, and she is obedient to you. Why can’t
you just try to live a life with her?” Amanda voiced her doubts. Does he only want what he
can’t have?

“There is no particular reason. I just don’t love her.”

“But you didn’t love me either four years ago. You wouldn’t have been so cruel to me
otherwise, no?” Amanda reminded him earnestly.
Four years ago, Elias showed no affection for her, or he wouldn’t have been so indifferent
to her feelings and treated her with such ruthlessness and cold-bloodedness.
Elias stared at her with a gloomy expression for a while. “Looking back now, I might have
loved you then.”
Flabbergasted, Amanda thought that she heard him wrong. “What did you say?”
The man fell silent for a few seconds. “I thought I didn’t love you four years ago, but now I
realize that I must have loved you. Why would I have married you if I didn’t? I have no
intention of marrying Grace now. Even though there are many reasons for me to marry
her, my heart is against it.”
A speechless Amanda was almost amused by his logic. What kind of reasoning is this?
She then commented, “You married me four years ago because your grandfather forced
you, didn’t you? It seemed like you didn’t want to marry me back then. You did it just to
fulfill your grandfather’s wish in case you regret it if he passed away.”
The man sneered. “No one can force me to do something I don’t want to do. Even if my
grandfather was on the verge of death back then, I wouldn’t have agreed to such an
absurd request. By agreeing to it, it meant that I didn’t dislike you back then. I even
thought it was possible for me to marry you.”
Amanda was stunned as she silently stared at the man’s handsome face, unsure of how to
react or what to
say.
After a moment, Elias released her slender wrist, which had turned red from his grip.
While he stood up straight, she also straightened her posture.
The height difference between the two seemed oddly harmonious. The two of them
together were like a beautiful oil painting when the sunlight streamed in through the floor-
to-ceiling windows.
“I know you resent what I did to you four years ago. I can make it up to you. As for our
child. If fate allows, I will do whatever it takes to protect him when he comes looking for
me.”
Elias didn’t look like he was joking at all with that serious expression on his face.
Amanda only watched him without saying a word. She was on the verge of being swayed.
“Amanda, let’s date. We had no emotional foundation four years ago, and we even went
straight to getting. married without having a proper wedding ceremony. I know you’ve
been wronged, so let’s date like a normal couple and work our way to our wedding. What
do you think?”
Date, huh? She couldn’t help but laugh out loud at how the man kept coming up with
ideas. It was as though the whole world revolved around him. “I don’t want to! Why should
I repeat the same mistake?”
“You won’t know if you’re repeating a mistake until you try. If I disappoint you again this

Elias felt that he missed out on Amanda because he didn’t truly understand his own heart

Now, he had to do his best to win her over.
The office fell into silence.

Amanda looked at the man in front of her. Deep down, she was somewhat wavering. She
remembered how insecure Aiden was during the recent parent-child sports event, where
other kids had their parents accompanying them.
Perhaps boys needed the presence of a father when they were growing up. She should let
Aiden know who his biological father was, but could Elias really turn over a new leaf?
Could a heartless and ruthless scoundrel who stops at nothing be a good father?
“Say something. Amanda.” Elias grew increasingly impatient when he received no
response from her.
Amanda snapped out of her thoughts and calmly walked towards her desk, her expression
placid. “It’s my decision to reject you, but I can’t stop you from doing whatever you want.”
She was clearly telling Elias that she would see what he was capable of.
Meanwhile, Elias furrowed his brows slightly. I’m not good at pursuing women, but I’ll do as
you don’t reject me.”
He still had a shot as long as Amanda stopped rejecting him emotionally.
Amanda smiled at that. “First of all, there’s something you can’t do.”
“And what is it?”

“Get rid of your foul temper and stop interfering with my personal social circle. Can you do
that? If you are charming enough to make me fall in love with you, I will naturally stay
away from other men. There’s no need for you to get angry.”
Elias suppressed his burning anger. “I will make you fall helplessly in love with me and
voluntarily distance yourself from those men!”
With that, he turned around and left the office.
