Chapter 323 Elias! Are You Still a Man?
Rosie looked at Amanda’s back as she left and her heart was secretly happy, but she still pretended to be aggrieved and guilty on the surface. “Eli, what are you waiting for? Go after her and help me explain. I really don’t have any malicious intent. I just felt that Aiden looked too cute and wanted to tease him a little. I…”
“Okay. I know.”
Elias’ tone grew cold, tinged with a hint of impatience. He was about to catch up with Amanda, but then he remembered something and turned back to Rosie. “How is your recovery going?”
Rosie’s heart tightened.
While his words appeared to show concern for her, they actually carried an undertone of urging her to leave.
Was this an attempt to drive her away? Was it because of that mother and son again?
Rosie couldn’t help but clench her fists. She whimpered with teardrops still in her eyes, “Eli, I understand what you mean. I’ll let my brother pick me up and I’ll leave tonight. I don’t want to cause you any more trouble. After all, it seems like Amanda and Aiden don’t like to see me. I’m sorry that my presence made them all unhappy. I’m going to go and call my brother right now.”
After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave.
Elias felt a twinge of guilt, but he didn’t call out to Rosie because if she stayed here, Amanda and Aiden would have to leave.
There was no way for them to stay here at the same time.
Although Rosie had saved Aiden’s life, Elias had no other choice. He could only find another way to make up to her.
Rosie walked away for a long time without hearing him call her name. Her anger grew stronger and fiercer. He was indeed very heartless.
Even after she sacrificed herself to save his son, he still treated her coldly.
Rosie could only walk toward her residence with lingering resentment, but did she really have to leave just like that? After all that she’d done to get into the Winters Family? If she just left like this, she was afraid that she wouldn’t have had the chance to have close contact with Elias again.
No way!
She had to find a way to stay.
Inside the living room.
Elias was sitting on the couch surrounded by an air of gloominess. He held a cigarette between his lips while appearing somewhat conflicted.
At that moment, Amanda and Aiden came down from upstairs. Aiden was clamoring to go home while expressing his reluctance to stay here any longer

Amanda saw Elias sitting there at a glance as she walked downstairs. She was about to speak when he preempted her.
“Taylor will come to pick up his sister later. You and Aiden should go back to bed.”
Amanda was speechless.
She couldn’t help but feel like they were driving Rosie away, as the words made it seem as if she and Aiden were responsible for Rosie’s departure.
Upon further reflection, she realized that Rosie had donated bone marrow to Aiden, and Rosie was only here to enjoy the hot springs for a few days. It seemed heartless to chase Rosie away like this.
“We didn’t intend to drive her away. It’s just that Aiden isn’t adjusting well here. I’ll take him to stay at Northern No. 1 for a few days. Let Rosie continue enjoying the hot springs here.”
Amanda wanted to add a few more words but realized that anything she said at this point would sound insincere, thus dropped the idea.
She truly didn’t like Rosie being close to Aiden. Even though Rosie had saved his life, Amanda couldn’t shake off the feeling that the woman harbored ill intentions.
Hopefully, it was just her overthinking.
“I’ll have Rosie go somewhere else to enjoy the hot springs. After all, I won’t have any further dealings with her in the future. Instead, I’ll be spending the rest of my life with you and Aiden, so your feelings matter more,” Elias said truthfully.
Amanda didn’t know how to respond to his words.
At that moment, the butler approached and said, “Mr. Winters, Mr. Momsey is here. He looks furious. It seems like he wants to seek justice from you.”
Right after the butler finished speaking, Taylor’s voice sounded. “Elias Winters! Are you even a man? You rejected my sister countless times before, and now that she has given up on pursuing you and even saved your son’s life, you can’t even tolerate her staying at your place for a few days? It has only been two days and you want to chase her away? You’re not even a man!”
Taylor stormed into the living room and shouted at Elias angrily.
Aiden was scared and hid behind Amanda, who instinctively protected him and covered his ears with her
hands.
Elias remained calm and extinguished his cigarette in the ashtray. He stood up and spoke in a deep voice. “Take your sister back with you. Kadi Club is also part of the Winters Family’s property. She can enjoy the hot springs there for free for a lifetime.”
Taylor was dumbfounded. Did this se mbag not understand his intentions? Would a lifetime of free hot springs solve everything?
“Do you even understand what I’m saying? Are you pretending to be clueless? Is this just about the hot springs? Is this how your family treats a life-saving benefactor? No wonder each one of you meets your comeuppance and meets a tragic end. Don’t you reflect on it at all? Aren’t you afraid that your son will face retribution?”

Taylor was losing his mind. Elias was heartless to the extreme.
His words, however, completely ignited Elias’ anger. In the next second, he threw a punch at Taylor, knocking him to the ground.
Immediately, Aiden screamed in fear and started crying.
However, Elias didn’t stop there. He tightly gripped Taylor’s throat while gritting his teeth as he said, “I dare you to say it again! If you curse my son one more time, I’ll take your life!”
