Elias’ Crimes and Punishments of Romance

Chapter 348 I Only Want Amanda

Jack didn’t want to mistreat the poor young man and cleared things up straight away. “Crispin, you’ve heard everything and we haven’t intended to take advantage of you on purpose. I haven’t taught my daughter well, so just act as if we’ve never brought up your marriage if you mind it—”

Before he could finish, Crispin burst out, “I’m willing to! Mr. Allegra, I’m willing to marry Stephanie. I will always want to marry her no matter what she has done, I can’t live without her.”

Stephanie’s tears rolled down her cheeks as she stared at the man before her. Is there a man willing to accept such a ridiculous thing?

Jack and Edith were stunned too since they assumed Crispin had only been after their family wealth. It seemed now that he really loved Stephanie to his core.

“Kid, are you really willing to marry her? Can you accept what has happened? Jack didn’t understand. After all, how could a man stand being cheated on, especially by a woman he loved?

Crispin had to make his performance as perfect as possible, so he faked a look of hurt and

disappointment. “I can’t, nor can I accept it. But, I can’t stand living without Stephanie even more and can’t live without her, so I want her.”

Ha! His words could make the people of Cludan tear up.

Both Amanda and Elias looked disgusted upon hearing that. It was so cheesy and nauseating: Crispin really would say anything to be a son-in-law to the Allegras..

“Stephanie, do you want to marry me?” Crispin asked as he looked at Stephanie sincerely.

At that point, Stephanie looked at a cold-looking Elias, whose gaze contained a hint of scorn, and then at Crispin, who only wanted her. Anyone would know what choice to make here.

And so, Stephanie gave up completely on Elias and shut her eyes. “I want to marry you!”
