Chapter 440 Betting on Our Love
Taylor sat calmly on the sofa, elegantly crossing his legs, and asked, “I really don’t know. Care to give me a tip?”
“This is what I hate most about you, Taylor Momsey. Pretending to be ignorant when you clearly know. Is this fun for you? You let your sister take Elias away while we were away. Do you think it’ll work out?”
But there was something that Amanda couldn’t understand. Since Elias had already woken up, why would he willingly go with Rosie? Could it be that Rosie drugged Elias? Or maybe Elias’ condition wasn’t as good. as she imagined?
“You’re talking nonsense. I haven’t been in contact with my sister much lately. Ever since I tried to persuade her to give up on Elias, she refused and didn’t want to see me. It’s been a long time since I last saw her. How would I know if she took Elias away?” Taylor decided to play dumb until the end. Every moment he could delay was a moment gained.
Amanda was almost amused by his antics. She flicked her long hair and revealed her exquisite face.
“Taylor, let’s be frank. Without your help, your sister can’t do anything. She’s useless!”
The words “useless” pierced Taylor’s heart. He suddenly stood up and shouted, “What the hell did you just say? Say it again! My sister’s not useless! If you’re so capable, how could you let my sister take advantage of this situation?”
Seeing his intense reaction, Amanda smiled. “You’re admitting it?”
Only then did Taylor realize that he had fallen into her trap. He sat back on the sofa and stopped the pretense. “So, what?”
Tell me where Elias is!” She was losing patience and just wanted to see Elias immediately.
Taylor saw her lose control and carried the plan he discussed with Rosie earlier. “Elias… is currently on a business trip out of town. Do you want to go? It’s not easy to find that place.”
“Give me the address.”
He hesitated. I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed if you go.”
“Disappointed? What do you mean?” Amanda had sensed that something was wrong. If Elias could go on a business trip, it meant he was clear-headed and his body had mostly recovered. Why did he leave with Rosie, that state? o
Taylor kleared his throat and said, “I don’t understand the medical terminology, but let me put it simply. Elias ha annesia and doesn’t remember you.”
Boom!
Amanda felt as if she had been struck by lightning and her head buzzed. How could this be? How did such
cliche thing happen to her?
Sering her panicked state, he laughed. “How did you think my sister took him away? He willingly grabbed onto my sister as soon as he woke up and treated her as his woman. My sister explained, but he didn’t listen. You know it too, my sister has always liked him so of course, she complied”
Amanda’s mind went blank. She couldn’t hear what he was saying anymore.

“Hey, I’m talking to you. If you go and see them right now, all you’ll see is Elias and my sister being affectionate. Won’t it hurt your heart?” He deliberately provoked her.
Amanda shouted angrily, “Of course, I’ll go! It’s because he hasn’t seen me! If he sees me, he’ll remember everything! Even if he has amnesia and doesn’t remember who I am, he will still love me!”
Taylor pitied her seeing her uncontrollable emotional outburst and shook his head helplessly. “Alright, let’s make a bet. If you don’t say anything and he still has that chemical reaction called love when he sees you, then I’ll believe that you two are truly in love. No matter how much my sister cries and screams, I’ll definitely take her away and leave you two alone.”
“It’s a deal!” Amanda was betting on the love between her and Elias.
“But if Elias doesn’t remember you at all, and doesn’t have any feelings for you, then you’ll have to walk away. You’ll have to admit that the reason you were able to return to this man isn’t because he likes you, but because you gave him a child. He wanted you because he wants a child and that is all.” Taylor’s words pierced Amanda’s heart. It was a dangerous gamble..
If she couldn’t make Elias fall in love with her again in his amnesiac state, she would be completely out of
his life.
Seeing her hesitation, Elias drawled out his words. “Are you scared? I’m surprised that you are capable of fear, Now that Elias doesn’t remember who you are, it’s impossible for him to fall in love with you. Don’t forget that he’s never looked straight at you before you divorced him. Admit it. He doesn’t really like you. he just wants to keep the child by his side. That’s why he accepted you.”
“That’s enough! Shut up! It’s not like that!” Amanda had never been confident about remarrying Elias for this reason. She was afraid that he wanted to remarry just to keep Aiden, so she reluctantly accepted him.
She was uncomfortable to be faced with Taylor’s provocation. But a voice popped into her mind. ‘Don’t believe him. Elias loves you. That’s why he wanted to remarry’
“Sure We’ll see.”
Arianda wiped away her tears and just glared at Taylor silently.
