Elias’ Crimes and Punishments of Romance

Elias didn’t deliberately ignore Amanda’s call earlier in the day. He had been dealing with Rosie, who was a nuisance, and wanted to sort that out before talking to Amanda. Now, Amanda wasn’t picking up his calls, and he was at a loss about how to make amends when he returned home later. The thought of it was giving him a headache.

Just then, his phone rang, and he thought it might be Amanda, so he quickly answered it. However, it was Taylor on the other end, and Elias couldn’t hide his disappointment.

“What do you want?” Elias asked, his voice filled with helplessness.

“How did you upset my sister today? She looks down as if she’s lost her motivation.”

“That’s what I want to talk to you about. Please take care of your sister from now on. I’ve repeatedly told her that there can be nothing between us.

“You have to look out for your sister. In any case, I must prioritize caring for my wife and children.” After stating this, Elias ended the call, choosing not to elaborate further.

Desperate, he called Amanda again, but she still ignored his calls. Consequently, he sighed. and prepared to go home after work to address the situation.

After returning to Winters Estate, Amanda lounged on the couch and played with her phone.

Suddenly, her phone rang, and she assumed it was Elias, but it turned out to be Boris calling. “What is it?” she asked.

“Mrs. Winters, Mr. Winters has returned and is looking for you.”
