Chapter 282 I’m Elias’ Ex-Wife
Outside of the Momsey Residence, Yacob tagged behind Elias. “Mr. Elias, what are your plans now? It doesn’t seem like Taylor will help us out willingly.”
This situation was exactly what he expected. Back then, Elias had ignored Taylor when was outside the Winters Residence for hours, begging to meet him so he could save his sister. So, it was only to be expected that Taylor would spurn Elias now and refuse to donate his bone marrow.
Elias walked toward the car with a stoic expression on his face and said coldly, “I’ll do it by force, then. I could care less about everything else. All I want is for my son to be safe and healthy.”
Yacob said no more. Given his understanding of Elias’ personality, he knew that he was capable of something like that. It would be best if Taylor would give his consent to donate his bone marrow because Taylor would be forced to if he remained unwilling. However, unbeknownst to them, Amanda arrived at Taylor’s place after they had hopped into their car. Yacob had almost forgotten about her after giving her Taylor’s address. Initially, he thought she would accompany them to meet Taylor. Thus, he didn’t that she would come later.

Amanda pressed the doorbell by the large entrance, and the butler promptly came to answer the door. “Whom are you looking for, madam?”
“Uh… 1. For a moment, she didn’t know what she should say because she couldn’t simply tell him that she was here to beg Taylor for his bone marrow. On the other hand, she wondered whether Elias was still here. Maybe he’s still inside…
She cleared her throat and said, “I’m Elias Winters’ ex-wife and here to look for him. He told me that he’s here.
A knot appeared between the butler’s brows as he looked at her from head to toe. “Are you Mr. Winters” ex-wife? Mr. Winters just left a minute ago.”
“He left already?” That was quick, or maybe I came a little late.
Disappointed at the turn of events, she twirled around and wanted to leave when the butler stopped her. “Wait a minute. Let me inform Mr. Momsey. Somehow, he had a feeling that she was useful to Taylor. Hence, after Amanda waited outside the door for about ten minutes, he came trotting back. “Please come in, madam. Mr. Momsey would like to meet you.”
The person with the matching bone marrow that Yacob mentioned is probably this Mr. Momsey, she thought, her eyes lighting up with a glimmer of hope. “Great!” She wanted to meet him as well to ask him to donate his bone marrow, and hopefully, she could convince this stranger. Alas, he was an enemy of Elias. Just the thought of this made this seem like an impossible task.
The butler led her to the spot where Elias stood earlier-the same dog room. As Amanda stood there, she couldn’t help but notice dog toys and other assortments strewn everywhere. Is this a room made for dogs?
“Where is Mr. Momsey?” she inquired.
The butler took a look behind her. “He’s here. Right behind you.”
Slowly, she spun around and the first thing she saw was the fierce Dogo Argentino, which gave her a fright. and she jumped a couple of steps backward because she was terrified of dogs. Meanwhile, the dog barked loudly at her a few times the instant she met its gaze, and she trembled in fear.

Amused by her reaction, Taylor laughed and stroked his beloved dog. “Pudding, don’t frighten this pretty lady. Go on and play over there while I speak with her.”
Hence, the dog turned and trotted off into a different corner, and Amanda breathed a sigh of relief at the sight, her tightly wrung nerves relaxed.
Taylor took a seat on the couch, his eyes glued on the woman in front of him as he gave her a once-over. Elias wouldn’t fall for his sister, Rosie, no matter what she did but had a child with this woman. Was this the type of woman he liked? What type of woman is she? he wondered.
While he was silently judging her and trying to guess her personality, she opened her mouth and said, “Hello, Mr. Momsey. I’m Amanda Bailey.”
“Did you say that you’re Elias’ ex-wife? So, are you the mother of that child who needs a bone marrow transplant?” Taylor’s voice had a tinge of doubt because Amanda looked nothing like a mother. Instead, she looked a little childlike, more like a young girl who had just started joining the workforce.
Amanda nodded. “Yes, I’m the mother of that child. Are you the match for his bone marrow, Mr. Momsey?”,
“Yes, I’m the one, but I have no plans of donating my bone marrow.”
The smile that just appeared on her face turned stiff right away. Although she already expected this, she mustered her courage and said, “I know that there’s a personal feud between you and Elias, but the child is innocent and he’s only three years old. It isn’t easy for him to find a match and I really don’t want to miss this opportunity. I hope you’ll reconsider and donate your bone marrow. I’m begging you. No matter what conditions you come up with, I’ll agree to it. As long as you name it, I’ll get it done.”
He burst into laughter at her words. “You sure sound like his ex-wife, even the things you said are as sickening as his. You said any condition, eh? What about spending the night with me? Will you do that?”
She was rendered speechless by his daring and was certain that he was saying this on purpose to spite her. Thus, she held back the revulsion she was feeling as she said with a forced smile, “Mr. Momsey, a divorced woman like me isn’t good enough for a fine gentleman like you. Why don’t you name another condition?
