Elias’ Crimes and Punishments of Romance

“Amanda, what did you just say to me earlier? I’m afraid I didn’t catch it. So, repeat it.”

He held her tightly, and there was no hiding the threat in his tone. Unfortunately, or perhaps. fortunately, she could clearly read the underlying message in his eyes: If she dared to say it again, he would take her right here!

“Let me go! Stop acting like a lunatic!”

“So, you do know that I’ll lose my temper! And whose fault is it? It’s all because of you! Amanda, tell me, are you not satisfied until you have successfully driven me mad?”

Elias held her beautiful chin, forcing her to look straight into his eyes.

She glanced around fearfully and felt relieved that there was no one nearby. Of course, no one could be here. Still, she was afraid that the servants passing by might overhear their conversation.

“Let go of me! This is a hot spring!”

“So? This is still the Winters Estate. Just who dictates the terms that I can’t turn into a stark raving lunatic in the confines of my own home?” Elias was getting frustrated. He realized that it was useless, no matter how much he apologized or explained himself. Thus, he could only resort to using force to get her to see reason.

“You’re being unreasonable!” Amanda didn’t want to waste her breath on him. They couldn’t communicate at all.

The man felt his lips curl into a sneer as he gazed at her speechless appearance. “What now? So, you’ve finally felt the frustration that I’ve been plagued with? I’ve kept explaining myself over and over again for the past two days, but did you listen? No! I’ve told you so many times. that I have no thoughts about any other woman. But no, you refuse to believe it. Now, you’re accusing me of having an emotional affair. Just when did I do such a thing? Explain it to me. clearly! Help me understand!”

The man seemed to have truly been driven mad. He needed to lay everything out tonight. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to get a good night’s rest at all.

Amanda, who was forced to look at his irritable yet frantic appearance, couldn’t help the chuckle that fell from her lips. She didn’t know why she found his situation funny, but she just did. As a result, she failed to restrain the laughter that bubbled within her.

“What are you laughing at? Do you find my current state amusing?”
