Elias’ Crimes and Punishments of Romance

Edith couldn’t help but say, “Are you guys overthinking things? I believe that Crispin truly loves Steph, and I only hope that he’ll treat her with sincerity. There’s nothing else I ask for.”

“You have a point.” Amanda stopped dwelling on the topic. She knew she couldn’t persuade Edith, event though the woman was her mother.

On the other hand, Jack fell deep in thought.

When Stephanie returned to her room upstairs, she plunged onto the bed and buried her face in the pillow before bawling her eyes out.

She felt that everyone was mocking her, especially Amanda.

Both of them were from the Allegra Family. While Amanda found one of the wealthiest men in the country, Elias Winters, Stephanie ended up with a poor guy, Crispin Coyote. Even the wedding was fully paid for by the Allegras.

As such, it was only natural that she was frustrated.

Crispin soon entered the room and closed the door.

However, he didn’t go over and appease her in a hurry, unlike what he would usually do in the past. Instead, he slowly sat down on the bed and watched as the woman’s shoulders trembled.

Since they had gotten the marriage license, he could be considered part of the Allegra Family. As such, he just had to act normally.

Also, Stephanie had been repeatedly throwing a tantrum in the past few days, so his patience was running out.

She felt the man sitting on the bed, but he just wouldn’t placate her. Burning with rage in an instant, she lifted her head from the pillow and bellowed. “Get lost! Stop annoying me!”

“What’s the point of being sad, Steph? Let bygones be bygones. Since we now have the marriage license, we’re a legally married couple. You should stop thinking of the past,” Crispin said perfunctorily.

Stephanie was even more enraged upon hearing that. She pushed the man away and barked, “What makes you think you can speak to me like this? Do you seriously
