As Elias leaned closer to Amanda and his handsome face loomed before her, he spoke in a deep and cold voice. “So? Are you afraid of what I might do?”
“Me? No! I’m just reminding you to watch your words and actions!” She struggled to retract her hand, but the man’s grip only tightened.
His anger was uncontrollable now as he growled through gritted teeth, “Amanda, are you ignoring my words? I told you to stay away from that father and son. And what do you do? Not only do you not stay away, but you also get closer to them. Are you just using me for your own gain? You are going to turn your back on me now that you’ve found the kid?”
With how terrifying Elias looked, Amanda felt as if he was going to get violent anytime now. Suddenly, she desperately tried to retract her hand out of fear. “When did I turn my back on you? Stop accusing me!”
“Then stay away from that father and son! Do you hear me? Do you think I’m someone you can u throw away? You will die horribly if you play games with me.” The man made a point with his w pitch-black eyes were locked on her.
She suddenly felt a chill down her spine.
This man was terrifying when he lost his temper, suffocating her as if she were plunging into the boundless darkness.
“Elias, don’t you think you are asking for too much? You want me by your side, but you don’t want to up taking care of Grace. No woman can tolerate that!”
After saying this, even Amanda herself was somewhat surprised. I… care about these things? I thought I didn After all, I don’t even know what relationship it is I have with Elias now. He forced me to sleep with him a few times four years ago, but why am I starting to care that he is taking care of Grace?
Elias’ pitch-black eyes flickered slightly, and he asked in a deep voice, “Are you jealous? Do you Then, why don’t you speak up? Why are you acting like you don’t give a sh*t about it?”
“I’m not!” She turned her head away, not wanting the man to see the look in her eyes.
“I’ve told you before that I don’t love Grace. I just owe her, that’s all.”
mind?
The man explained once again even though he used to dislike explaining himself. Although he hadn’t realized it yet, it seemed that he had somewhat changed because of Amanda.
After hearing Yacob’s narrative last night, Amanda had a rough idea of why Elias treated Grace with such
care.
However, she just couldn’t accept the fact that there was an entanglement between Elias and Grace. What he did for Grace far exceeded what love was supposed to be.
“It’s none of my business. After all, we’re already divorced. I seriously don’t understand you. Grace is beautiful, she loves you very much, and she is obedient to you. Why can’t you just try to live a life with her?” Amanda voiced her doubts. Does he only want what he can’t have?

“There is no particular reason. I just don’t love her.”

“But you didn’t love me either four years ago. You wouldn’t have been so cruel to me otherwise, no?” Amanda reminded him earnestly.
Four years ago, Elias showed no affection for her, or he wouldn’t have been so indifferent to her feelings and treated her with such ruthlessness and cold-bloodedness.
Elias stared at her with a gloomy expression for a while. “Looking back now, I might have loved you then.”
Flabbergasted, Amanda thought that she heard him wrong. “What did you say?”
The man fell silent for a few seconds. “I thought I didn’t love you four years ago, but now I realize that I must have loved you. Why would I have married you if I didn’t? I have no intention of marrying Grace now. Even though there are many reasons for me to marry her, my heart is against it.”
A speechless Amanda was almost amused by his logic. What kind of reasoning is this?
She then commented, “You married me four years ago because your grandfather forced you, didn’t you? It seemed like you didn’t want to marry me back then. You did it just to fulfill your grandfather’s wish in case you regret it if he passed away.”
The man sneered. “No one can force me to do something I don’t want to do. Even if my grandfather was on the verge of death back then, I wouldn’t have agreed to such an absurd request. By agreeing to it, it meant that I didn’t dislike you back then. I even thought it was possible for me to marry you.”
