Elias’ Crimes and Punishments of Romance

Chapter 6 Make Sure You Get Back Together

guys divorced! Didn’t you promise you wouldn’t divorce him no matter what happened?” When Elias saw how worked up Howard was, he was at a loss for words. It was as though Amanda was the Winters Family’s real granddaughter while he was picked up from somewhere. “Grandpa, I’m sorry… I let you down.” Back then, she had promised him that she would not divorce Elias no matter what happened, but the sc*mbag had gotten another woman pregnant! What was she to do besides divorcing him? “Amanda, tell me the truth. Did this b*stard force you into divorce? You’re a good child, and I know that brat’s character very well, so tell me the truth!” Howard looked at her anticipatingly because he refused to believe she would renege on her words. Elias narrowed his eyes at her as if warning, “Watch what you say!” Since she did not want anything to do with him, she did not want to agonize the innocent Howard either. “Grandpa, we broke up on good terms. I don’t love him anymore, nor does he, so we divorced. None of us forced the other.” She smiled while saying that, hoping he could find peace with this information. Unexpectedly, he suddenly roared, “That’s impossible! Have you forgotten your promise to me? You said you’d love Elias forever and will still love him even if he doesn’t love you back. How could you change your mind so suddenly? I don’t believe you! That brat must’ve forced you into getting a divorce. Did he tell you to say that too?” “Grandpa… That’s not it.” “Amanda, have you begun lying to me as well? You’re not like that. You loved Elias to death, so why would you change your mind so quickly?” He could not accept Amanda’s explanation because it was a lie. At his boiling point, Elias argued, “Grandpa, can you be more reasonable? You didn’t believe me when I said we broke up on good terms. How are you still so stubborn after Amanda told you the truth?” “You b*stard! Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to! Unless you anger me to death, that clown will never join the Winters Family! The only daughter-in-law we acknowledge is Amanda!” He did not forget to pat her hand, adding, “Don’t worry. He can’t do anything to you with me here. I will get you guys back together someday.” Amanda was at a loss for words when faced with Howard’s stubbornness. Tired of pretending, she decided to tell the truth. “Grandpa, we can’t get back together anymore. The child he and that woman had should be turning three soon, and you can’t expect me to become a stepmom, right? I can’t do that, so I’m sorry.” Remembering when Elias brought that woman home with the pregnancy news, she did a rough estimation and assumed the child might be the same age as Aiden. When Howard heard her, his eyes widened, and his jaw dropped. Similarly, Elias’ face instantly fell, and he pursed his thin lips. “A child? What child? Where did that come from? Did you and that clown have a child?” Howard glanced at Elias, unconvinced. Elias denied it, but his helpless visage sold him out. “No.” “You b*stard! I’ll ask you again. Did you have a child with that woman? How could such a woman bear the heir to our family?” Howard screamed his accusation, pointing his walking stick at his grandson. Suppressing his rage, Elias attempted to defend himself again. “We didn’t have a child together!” “If you dare to get that clown pregnant, I’ll never forgive you. I…” Howard only spoke half his sentence before losing his footing and falling to the ground. “Grandpa!” Elias’ obsidian eyes filled with shock as he ran over to catch Howard’s body.
