Chapter 105 Blacklisted
Suddenly, Amanda remembered Simon’s proposal of a “marriage without love, and thought that it Inight be a good idea. She had always pursued so-called love, but it had only left her battered and bruised. Perhaps, it was better to try a marriage without love. A loveless marriage should be much more comfortable. She wouldn’t have to care so much or feel so exhausted.
Amanda stared at Simon for a long time. Under her gaze, he felt puzzled. “Why are you staring at me like that? Is there something on my face?”
“Simon, does your proposition of a marriage without love still stand? Do you still want it?” she asked. As she was met with endless silence, she thought that he was going to refuse. She withdrew her gaze and smiled, saying. “Forget it, let’s just pretend I didn’t say anything”
Some things were just like that. Once an opportunity was missed, there would be no second chance again. Moreover, Simon was so outstanding and handsome, so he deserved a better
woman.
Suddenly, he spoke up. “Of course, it still stands, but have you thought it through? If you really agree to it, you can’t go back on your word. Otherwise, I don’t know what I might do. I’m also a man; I also have my own brand of possessiveness and desire to win.”
Amanda looked up at the man’s eyes with a blank expression. She didn’t know if her decision was right or wrong. However, Elias had disappointed her so much today, and she didn’t want to have anything to do with him anymore.
She had to find a man quickly to end her single life; otherwise, Elias would never give up on her. Even if she escaped abroad. Elias would surely find her.
“Well, then… Let me think about it,” she hesitated. In truth, she hadn’t made up her mind. She just wanted to escape from her current predicament as soon as possible.
Seeing Amanda’s indecisive expression, Simon didn’t say anything more. He sat with her for a while and said, “Let me take you back. Your face looks better now, and Aiden probably won’t be able to tell.”
“I can manage on my own. Aren’t you attending a banquet tonight? Don’t worry about me. I can handle it myself,” Amanda replied. She didn’t want to waste any more of Simon’s time as she had already wasted enough.
Simon didn’t insist anymore. “All right then, if you need anything, call me. Don’t struggle on your own. Remember, you still have Aiden, so you have to stay positive.”
“What are you talking about? Why would I not stay positive? I was just in a bad mood for a moment. I’m fine now.” She couldn’t help but laugh. Did Simon think she would become so depressed that she would contemplate suicide?

“Alright then. After you’ve arrived home, send me a message so that I’ll know you’re safe.”
“Okay,”
Simon pushed open the car door and got out, watching her drive away before sighing deeply.
“Did I say too much to you just now? You finally agreed, so why did I end up scaring you away?”
At that moment, Simon’s phone rang. It was a call from his ex-girlfriend, Lunabelle. Since Lunabelle found out that he wasn’t married, she aggressively pursued him, hoping to rekindle their past relationship. Despite her efforts, some things were meant to be left in the past and couldn’t be brought back.
Simon hesitated for a few seconds before answering the call. Lunabelle’s voice sounded from the other end. “Simon, can we have dinner together tonight? Your mother’s birthday is coming up. and I bought her a gift. Can you give it to her?”
“Sure. You decide the time and place.”
