Elias’ Crimes and Punishments of Romance

Chapter 113 I Did It on Purpose

“Amanda, do you have to do this? I’ve explained to you many times that there’s nothing between Lunabelle and me anymore. Why won’t you believe me?” Simon demanded through the phone, clearly sounding a little peeved.

Strange, why is he angry? Amanda wondered, perplexed.

“What does me going on a blind date have to do with whether I believe you or not? Regardless of your relationship with Lamabelle, I’m still going to go on blind dates.”

This should make things clear enough, right? She had already completely abandoned any thought of considering Simon’s idea of a loveless marriage, and she would much rather marry a stranger she had no feelings for than consider him as a candidate.

There was a long pause on the other end before he said, “Are you implying that you won’t consider me no matter what? That you’d rather marry an untrustworthy stranger than try things out with me? Am I really that unworthy of you just because I have an ex-girlfriend?”

Simon had no idea where he had gone wrong to make Amanda so against marrying him. However, Amanda laughed. She closed her book, planning to make things clear with him.

“Simon, it’s not what you think. I just think that the two of us know each other too well, so we aren’t suited for marriage. Besides, you and Lunabelle clearly still haven’t let go of each other, so why are you tormenting each other like this? It isn’t easy to find true love in life, so don’t let your happiness go just for a moment of spite. I’m telling you this as someone who’s been through this before.”

“What do you mean, know each other too well? Isn’t that the point of marriage? Can you marry someone you don’t know at all?”

Simon had no idea what she was thinking, or how her mind worked.

“No, well… I can’t explain everything to you in such a short amount of time. Anyway, don’t think about only marrying me when you don’t love me. I’ve had a divorce and a child, while you, on the other hand, have a chance at finding happiness, so why would you sabotage yourself like that?”

Deep down, this was a fact that displeased her. Simon’s suggestion of a loveless marriage was just like telling her he was planning to give up on himself, and he settled for her just so the people around him would stop urging him to get married.
