Chapter 491 Seems to Have Seen Madam’s Figure

Early the following morning.

Rosie woke up promptly with the first rays of daylight, her determination clear. It was to

prepare a hearty breakfast for Elias.

However, as she finished her morning routine and stepped into the kitchen, she overheard

the chef murmuring that Elias had already left Winters Estate and he might not return to

the mansion all day.

“It’s not even 8 a.m. yet. Where could Eli have gone? To the office?” Rosie couldn’t help

but

ask.

Beside her, the chef shook his head. “I’m not sure. Mr. Jones mentioned that Mr. Winters

seemed to be searching for someone, but I’m not privy to the details.”

Finding someone?

It must be Amanda!

Rosie clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. Hadn’t the hypnosis worked last night? Why

is he still so fixated on finding Amanda?

She left the kitchen and immediately dialed her psychologist. Once the call connected, she

unleashed her frustration, “Is your hypnosis even work? Why did he wake up so early to

search for that woman? Why isn’t he focused on me? What’s your explanation for all of

this? If your hypnosis is causing this, you better not continue, and don’t expect to receive

the remaining payment.”

The psychologist on the other end of the line replied calmly, “Don’t rush to blame me. Just

tell me if that man spent the night with you.”

“He did, but so what? It hasn’t stopped him from seeking out that woman.”

The more Rosie mulled it over, the angrier she became. If she had known this would be

the outcome, she wouldn’t have consulted this psychologist. It seemed utterly useless,

and she had squandered a significant sum of money.

“Well, isn’t that sufficient? It is already yielding results. You can’t expect me to erase his

memory of that woman, right? His life will go on, and he’ll continue with his

responsibilities. However, his attitude toward you has changed, and that’s the desired

effect. With these changes in his attitude, you can develop a deeper connection with him,

understand?

Rosie narrowed her eyes. “How do I cultivate that?”

“Miss Rosie, you’re not one to be clueless about love. Must I really school you in this?

Staying by his side is your priority now. As long as you’re with him, he won’t develop any

aversion toward you. He may come to see you as considerate. Regarding the bell I gave to

you, refrain from using it haphazardly. It can disrupt a man’s mental state, possibly

hallucinations and nightmares.”

Upon hearing the psychiatrist’s advice, Rosie felt reassured, a smile gracing her lips.

So, that’s the way of it.

Nevertheless, Rosie retained her haughty demeanor as she retorted, “Very well, I’ll give it

a shot. If he still refuses to accept me, I will hold you accountable. You won’t escape my

scrutiny!”

With that declaration, she promptly terminated the call.

For a prolonged moment, Rosie stared at Elias‘ contact number on her phone before finally

mustering the courage to dial it.

The call was answered. A masculine voice emanated from the other end, inquiring.

“What’s the matter?”

“Eli, I originally intended to prepare breakfast for you. Why did you leave so early? I heard

you have a busy day ahead. Could we possibly share dinner tonight? It’s been a while

since we’ve had a meal together.”

that

After conveying her request, a profound silence hung in the air, making Rosie doubt

whether she would receive a response.

Yet, just as she was losing hope, Elias‘ voice broke through, saying, “Sure, meet me at

Paradise Night Club tonight. I’ll be there.”

“Great! I’ll be there on time!”

Upon ending the call, Rosie nearly leaped with elation. Her heart brimmed with joy!

It appeared that Elias‘ attitude toward her had indeed undergone a significant change, and

she was determined to seize this opportunity.

First, she would indulge in a beauty treatment and don an exquisite dress before

rendezvousing with Elias later in the evening.

In the evening.

In recent days, Elias had scoured tirelessly for any sign of Amanda, his frustration

mounting.

There was no record of her leaving the country, and it seemed she hadn’t even departed

from Imperia. Yet, he remained unable to uncover any trace of her whereabouts.

Inside the club, he downed one glass of wine after another, attempting to drown his

sorrows in alcohol.

Then, as if on cue from the previous night, that international call rang again. Without

hesitation, he answered, greeted by the same youthful voice.

“Mommy!”

“Aiden, it’s daddy.” He couldn’t bring himself to break the news of Amanda’s absence to

Aiden. He feared it would haunt the little one’s dreams.

“Daddy, where’s Mommy? I want to talk to Mommy.”

“Mommy’s not feeling well, Aiden. We need to let her rest for a couple of days, okay? Can

Daddy chat with you instead?”

“What’s wrong with Mommy? Is she sick? I really want to talk to her! I don’t care!” Aiden

grew increasingly anxious. His reliance on Amanda had been a constant since he was a

toddler, and the thought of her being unwell distressed him deeply.

Elias hadn’t expected such strong affection from such a young child. It underscored the

close bond Amanda and Aiden shared in their daily lives.

With patience, he comforted Aiden on the phone. “Don’t worry, your mommy’s just tired.

from work, so she decided to sleep early. I’ll make sure she calls you tomorrow, okay?”

“Okay. Since Mommy’s sleeping, let’s not wake her up. Daddy, when are you and Mommy

bringing me back home? I miss home.”

His heart softened instantly upon hearing this sentence, tinged with a touch of pain.

Elias replied, “We’ll come to get you as soon as Mommy is feeling better, okay?”

“Yay! I’ll wait for you here! I promise to be good and listen to Mr. Yacob.”

Aiden’s well–behaved nature tugged at Elias‘ heart. He couldn’t help but smile and good;

wait for me to pick you up. Make sure to go to bed early.”

“Mhmm.”

After ending the call, the smile vanished from Elias‘ face, and he fell into deep

contemplation.

He had to find Amanda quickly and uncover why Aiden had ended up in that mysterious

mansion in New Montana.

Suddenly, the door to the private room swung open.

The man glanced up and realized it was Rosie.

Although he had no particular interest in her, an inexplicable impulse urged him to be

more cordial.

“Eli, I didn’t expect to find you here.” Rosie adopted an innocent and naive expression,

pretending to be a gentle, unassuming figure as she walked into the private room.

“Yeah.”

“Why hasn’t the food been served yet? You’ve already had quite a bit to drink, and it’s not

good for your health,” Rosie remarked. Her gaze fell on the wine bottles spread across the

table as soon as she entered. It appeared that he had already emptied half a bottle.

Elias replied nonchalantly, “It’s fine. I’m not in a good mood, so I thought a few drinks

might help.”

Suddenly, his phone buzzed, and he answered the call. The bodyguard on the other end of

the line sounded excited as he reported, “Mr. Winters! Our team seems to have spotted

someone who looks remarkably similar to Madam at the Dream Nightclub. Would you like

to check it out? I’m on my way there.”

“I’ll be right there! Wait for me!” After speaking, Elias promptly stood up and glanced at

Rosie. “You can have your meal alone as I have something important to attend to.”

Watching his anxious expression, Rosie felt a pang of disappointment. She retrieved the

small bell the psychiatrist gave her from her bag. Though she wasn’t supposed to use it,

her determination outweighed her reservations.
