Elias’ Crimes and Punishments of Romance

After returning home to the Winters Estate, Amanda discovered that Aiden didn’t need her company at all as he was busy imitating his kindergarten teacher, giving a lesson to Yacob.

She shook her head with a smile, feeling somewhat helpless. Thus, she went to her bedroom, showered, and finally applied skincare products at the dressing table. Suddenly, her phone rang again, and it was Elias calling.

Amanda wanted to pretend not to see it, but not only did the phone receive calls, but it was also bombarded with incessant WhatsApp messages.

Had this man gone crazy during his hospital stay?

Annoyed, she answered the phone. “Elias Winters, are you out of your mind? Why are you calling so many times and sending so many messages?”

“It’s because you haven’t replied to me.”

She could hear a hint of grievance in his tone, as if he were a neglected housewife.

“Honey, can you listen to my explanation, please?”

“Explanation for what? What you said were heartfelt words, not lies. What is there to explain? I should thank you for your honesty, which made me see myself clearly. I used to think I was the most beautiful in your eyes, but it turns out you are quite rational. It’s nice to know. I’m relieved.” Amanda’s every word was dripping with sarcasm. Elias was not a fool and could naturally hear it.

“Amanda, you not the truth.”

I will always be the most beautiful in my eyes. What I said was just out of anger,

“Huh… Elias, don’t you find yourself quite insincere? It’s too late to say these things now! Besides, even if someone is more beautiful than me, what’s wrong with that? Why can’t you admit the fact?”

Elias fell silent on the other end of the phone because he realized that whatever he said now would be wrong, even his breath.

She asked impatiently, “Do you have anything else to say? If not, I’m hanging up. I want to sleep. I’m tired.”
