Chapter 393 You Know I Miss You, Amanda

Amanda blinked and found herself entranced by the man’s deep, black eyes. Was she truly

that cold and distant, always keeping him away? In the meantime, Elias seized the

opportunity presented by her momentary silence and attempted to break down her

defenses. His handsome face inched closer as though he was about to kiss her lips.

Noticing this, Amanda yielded and closed her eyes while anticipating

his kiss.

Elias smirked when he knew he was about to succeed. However, just as their lips were

about to meet, the bedroom door swung open abruptly, and Aiden’s voice interrupted

them. “Mommy! Daddy! What are you playing? Why didn’t you include me? Hmph!”

Aiden rushed into the room, bringing a gust of cool air along with him. Amanda

instinctively moved away from Elias and pushed him aside. Meanwhile, Elias felt annoyed

by the untimely interruption caused by this little brat, and he closed his eyes helplessly. If

Aiden weren’t his child, he might have been tempted to throw him out.

Climbing onto the bed, Aiden nestled into Amanda’s embrace. “Mommy, I want to sleep

with you guys. You never include me in your games. That’s not nice!”

“Baby, your daddy and I weren’t playing. We were discussing something important.”

Amanda’s face flushed. She realized that it was impossible to avoid such awkward

situations with a child around.

-Elias expression soured as he pinched his son’s cheek and gritted his teeth. “You came at

the perfect time,

didn’t you?”

“What are you doing?” Amanda swatted the man’s hand away, recognizing his dubious

intentions.

The unfulfilled Elias looked frustrated as he stood up and said, “You two go to sleep. I’m

going out for a bit. He didn’t feel like sleeping anymore. Amanda couldn’t suppress her

laughter as she held her baby in her arms and watched the man leave angrily.

“Why are you laughing, Mommy?”

“Nothing. How about I tell you a story?”

“Okay!”

After closing the bedroom door, Elias planned to step outside for a smoke before returning

to his room to take a shower and sleep. With a cigarette between his lips, he strolled

through the garden and noticed that Crispin had driven off. Going out so late, huh?

Remembering what Amanda had mentioned about the video in Crispin’s possession, Elias

realized that destroying that video would render Crispin useless, leaving him without any

means of resistance. After discarding his cigarette into the nearby ashtray, Elias returned

to the villa. Without knocking, he entered Crispin and Stephanie’s room.

As soon as he stepped inside, he found Stephanie on the bed and looking at him with a

fearful expression. “Elias?”

“Why are you still here? Didn’t Crispin take you with him?” Elias thought that both Crispin

and Stephanie had left, not expecting her to still be there.

“I.. I didn’t want to go with him. Why are you here?” Stephanie couldn’t face Elias after

“I heard that Crispin has a video of you. Do you know where he keeps it?” Elias inquired.

“I… I saw it on his phone, but he said he had multiple backups… Stephanie was initially

startled, for she hadn’t expected Elias to already know about this. Undoubtedly, Amanda

must have informed him.

Noticing a nearby laptop, Elias asked, “Is this Crispin’s?”

“Yes…”

Elias opened the laptop and tapped on the keyboard with his slender fingers, and his dark

eyes focused on something.

Stephanie couldn’t comprehend what he was doing. After a few minutes, the man stood up

and glanced at her. “Just be patient and wait a few more days.” With that, he turned

around and left the room.

Stephanie hesitated to speak, but now, she had no face to shout and yell at this man. She

had brought all this upon herself, after all.

Upon returning to his room, Elias switched on his computer and began hacking into

Crispin’s laptop while searching for all the backups of that video.

It wasn’t until midnight that he had gone through all of Crispin’s accounts and deleted

every video that could be found. He couldn’t be bothered to watch them one by one,

especially the ones involving Crispin and Stephanie. He wasn’t interested at all.

Meanwhile, after soothing her baby to sleep. Amanda decided to go to the kitchen and

pour herself a glass of water. As she passed by Elias’ room, she entered almost

instinctively. She only wanted to see what the man was up to, but unexpectedly, she

heard the sound of running water from the bathroom. It turned out he was taking a

shower.

As Amanda was about to turn around and leave, the sound of running water ceased, and

the bathroom door swung open. Elias emerged, wearing only a towel around his waist. His

short hair was dripping wet, and a faint mist enveloped his handsome face. “Why are you

here?”

A smile formed on his handsome face when he spotted her, for nothing could be more

surprising than

this scene.

“I just happened to be passing by and wanted to see what you were up to. Aiden is asleep,

and I was going to get some water…”

“Oh?” Elias teased her as if he didn’t believe her excuse.

“You should go to sleep. I’m leaving. I have to wake up early tomorrow.”

After Amanda finished speaking, she turned to leave. However, Elias suddenly pulled her

into his arms, and they tumbled onto the soft bed.

“What are you doing-

He pinned her down and spoke lazily. “I was planning to take a shower and go to sleep, but

you just had to come knocking at this moment. It seems rather intentional.”

I didn’t do it intentionally. Don’t be unreasonable. I came to check if you were asleep. You-

Mmh!”

Amanda’s words were cut off as he forcefully kissed her lips. This time, there was no

interruption from that little brat. It was a tender and lingering kiss filled with reluctance.

“Are you out of your mind? This is the Allegra Villa!” She couldn’t believe this man was so

shameless. She tried to get up, but he pulled her back.

“So what? This is my room, and your son is fast asleep. No one else will come in.”

“I don’t want to!”

Amanda was determined, but the man got up and walked over to lock the door, then

embraced her slim body tightly. “Now, can you feel at ease? No one will come in.”

“Why are you acting this way-

“Amanda, you know how much I miss you. She was speechless upon hearing that, but she

knew it too. When he was in Esmos, he would call her every day, but he barely brought up

The next morning. Amanda slept deeply and nearly forgot about her promise to take Aiden

out to play. When she finally woke up, it was already past 10.00AM, and the man beside

her had disappeared. Amanda held her dizzy head and sat up as she felt sore all over her

body. Following that, she put on her robe and left the room. As she was about to go back

to her bedroom to freshen up, Aiden suddenly came to her mind!
