Elias’ Crimes and Punishments of Romance

Chapter 25 Elias Erected a Tombstone for His Son

“Mom….” Tears welled up in Amanda’s eyes when she saw her mother’s tombstone.

“This is proof that my child existed,” Elias muttered as he fixed his profound gaze on the empty tombstone, rendering Amanda speechless.

You’ve got to be kidding me! She, on the other hand, didn’t like this idea. After all, the little brat was alive and kicking at home. You… This… He…
