Chapter 393 You Know I Miss You, Amanda
Amanda blinked and found herself entranced by the man’s deep, black eyes. Was she truly
that cold and distant, always keeping him away? In the meantime, Elias seized the
opportunity presented by her momentary silence and attempted to break down her
defenses. His handsome face inched closer as though he was about to kiss her lips.
Noticing this, Amanda yielded and closed her eyes while anticipating
his kiss.
Elias smirked when he knew he was about to succeed. However, just as their lips were
about to meet, the bedroom door swung open abruptly, and Aiden’s voice interrupted
them. “Mommy! Daddy! What are you playing? Why didn’t you include me? Hmph!”
Aiden rushed into the room, bringing a gust of cool air along with him. Amanda
instinctively moved away from Elias and pushed him aside. Meanwhile, Elias felt annoyed
by the untimely interruption caused by this little brat, and he closed his eyes helplessly. If
Aiden weren’t his child, he might have been tempted to throw him out.
Climbing onto the bed, Aiden nestled into Amanda’s embrace. “Mommy, I want to sleep
with you guys. You never include me in your games. That’s not nice!”
“Baby, your daddy and I weren’t playing. We were discussing something important.”
Amanda’s face flushed. She realized that it was impossible to avoid such awkward
situations with a child around.
-Elias expression soured as he pinched his son’s cheek and gritted his teeth. “You came at
the perfect time,
didn’t you?”
“What are you doing?” Amanda swatted the man’s hand away, recognizing his dubious
intentions.
The unfulfilled Elias looked frustrated as he stood up and said, “You two go to sleep. I’m

laughter as she held her baby in her arms and watched the man leave angrily.
“Why are you laughing, Mommy?”
“Nothing. How about I tell you a story?”
“Okay!”
After closing the bedroom door, Elias planned to step outside for a smoke before returning
to his room to take a shower and sleep. With a cigarette between his lips, he strolled
through the garden and noticed that Crispin had driven off. Going out so late, huh?
Remembering what Amanda had mentioned about the video in Crispin’s possession, Elias
realized that destroying that video would render Crispin useless, leaving him without any
means of resistance. After discarding his cigarette into the nearby ashtray, Elias returned
to the villa. Without knocking, he entered Crispin and Stephanie’s room.
As soon as he stepped inside, he found Stephanie on the bed and looking at him with a
fearful expression. “Elias?”
“Why are you still here? Didn’t Crispin take you with him?” Elias thought that both Crispin
and Stephanie had left, not expecting her to still be there.
“I.. I didn’t want to go with him. Why are you here?” Stephanie couldn’t face Elias after

“I heard that Crispin has a video of you. Do you know where he keeps it?” Elias inquired.
“I… I saw it on his phone, but he said he had multiple backups… Stephanie was initially
startled, for she hadn’t expected Elias to already know about this. Undoubtedly, Amanda
must have informed him.
Noticing a nearby laptop, Elias asked, “Is this Crispin’s?”
“Yes…”
Elias opened the laptop and tapped on the keyboard with his slender fingers, and his dark
eyes focused on something.
Stephanie couldn’t comprehend what he was doing. After a few minutes, the man stood up
and glanced at her. “Just be patient and wait a few more days.” With that, he turned
around and left the room.
Stephanie hesitated to speak, but now, she had no face to shout and yell at this man. She
had brought all this upon herself, after all.
Upon returning to his room, Elias switched on his computer and began hacking into
Crispin’s laptop while searching for all the backups of that video.
It wasn’t until midnight that he had gone through all of Crispin’s accounts and deleted
every video that could be found. He couldn’t be bothered to watch them one by one,
especially the ones involving Crispin and Stephanie. He wasn’t interested at all.
Meanwhile, after soothing her baby to sleep. Amanda decided to go to the kitchen and
pour herself a glass of water. As she passed by Elias’ room, she entered almost
instinctively. She only wanted to see what the man was up to, but unexpectedly, she
heard the sound of running water from the bathroom. It turned out he was taking a
shower.
As Amanda was about to turn around and leave, the sound of running water ceased, and
the bathroom door swung open. Elias emerged, wearing only a towel around his waist. His
short hair was dripping wet, and a faint mist enveloped his handsome face. “Why are you
here?”
A smile formed on his handsome face when he spotted her, for nothing could be more
surprising than
this scene.
“I just happened to be passing by and wanted to see what you were up to. Aiden is asleep,
and I was going to get some water…”
“Oh?” Elias teased her as if he didn’t believe her excuse.
“You should go to sleep. I’m leaving. I have to wake up early tomorrow.”
After Amanda finished speaking, she turned to leave. However, Elias suddenly pulled her

“What are you doing-
He pinned her down and spoke lazily. “I was planning to take a shower and go to sleep, but
you just had to come knocking at this moment. It seems rather intentional.”

Mmh!”
Amanda’s words were cut off as he forcefully kissed her lips. This time, there was no
interruption from that little brat. It was a tender and lingering kiss filled with reluctance.
“Are you out of your mind? This is the Allegra Villa!” She couldn’t believe this man was so
shameless. She tried to get up, but he pulled her back.
“So what? This is my room, and your son is fast asleep. No one else will come in.”
“I don’t want to!”
Amanda was determined, but the man got up and walked over to lock the door, then
embraced her slim body tightly. “Now, can you feel at ease? No one will come in.”
“Why are you acting this way-

The next morning. Amanda slept deeply and nearly forgot about her promise to take Aiden
out to play. When she finally woke up, it was already past 10.00AM, and the man beside
her had disappeared. Amanda held her dizzy head and sat up as she felt sore all over her
body. Following that, she put on her robe and left the room. As she was about to go back
to her bedroom to freshen up, Aiden suddenly came to her mind!
