Chapter 520 I Wasn’t Trying To Protect That Woman

The air was tense. It seemed a fight was about to break out.

Both of them were consumed by anger, and neither was willing to compromise,

“Answer my question first. If you won’t answer, why should I?” Amanda didn’t want to

indulge. him and his bad habits, especially now that he had regained his memory. There

was no need. for pretense anymore.

Elias clenched his fists tightly, struggling to maintain control. It looked as if he would

confront Symeon and teach him a lesson for daring to seduce his woman in the next

moment.

Suppressing his anger, he said in a deep voice, “Fine, I’ll tell you. I wasn’t trying to protect.

that woman. I don’t even know her. Everything I did was to oppose Symeon because I saw

him mistreating her. I decided to mess with him, that’s all.”

Trying to rid himself of any doubt, huh? Amanda couldn’t help but let out a sneer.

“What are you laughing at? Don’t you believe me?” Elias felt uneasy witnessing her

mocking laughter. He disliked Amanda treating him like this.

They were husband and wife, so why was Amanda always siding with Symeon?

Amanda looked at the man standing by the bed. “Do you think I would believe what you

said? When did you, Elias Winters, become so compassionate and just? I never knew you

had such virtue in you before.”

“Whether you believe it or not, it’s the truth. And what about you? Why did you look for

him? Could it be that you truly have feelings for him?” Elias became consumed with

jealousy at the thought of Amanda staying by Symeon’s side with their child while he was.

unconscious. There was a possibility that they might develop feelings for each other, and

he couldn’t bear it.

He would never allow his woman to have feelings for that perverted Symeon!

“Since I don’t believe a single word of what you said, I don’t see the need to answer your

question.” Amanda stood up and prepared to leave the bedroom.

As she passed by the man, he grabbed her hand and asked, “Where are you going?”

“Once we can be honest with each other, then we can share a bed again.” After saying

that, Amanda shook off his hand and was about to leave.

Elias was genuinely furious. He couldn’t bear it any longer and shouted at her retreating

figure, “Why won’t you believe what I said? It’s the truth! If you don’t believe me, ask that

woman! She was being choked by Symeon, almost dying. Could I just stand by and do

nothing?”

“With Symeon’s personality, he cares more about his reputation than anything else. How

could he possibly choke a woman at a party? Come up with a believable lie, will you? If

you say Symeon was flirting with that woman, I might believe it.”

After saying that, Amanda left the bedroom without looking back.

Elias looked at her departing figure in disbelief. “Amanda! Who are you married to, huh?

How well do you know that scoundrel? What makes you think he wouldn’t do such a

thing?”

Amanda ignored him and walked toward the staircase.

The man caught up with her, gripping her delicate shoulders. I’m talking to you! Answer

me!”

“Stop being unreasonable!” She felt that Elias was deliberately changing the subject,

diverting her attention.

“Who are you calling unreasonable? Do you think I’m being unreasonable now? Then, who

do you think is the perfect man in your eyes? That scoundrel?”

Elias was now blinded by jealousy, wishing he could kill Symeon for sowing discord

between him and his wife.

“Let me go!”

“I won’t let go! Tell me, why did you go looking for Symeon on your own? Did you realize

you fell for him only after you returned to me? Did you develop feelings for him during

your time in Esmos?”

Elias tightly held Amanda’s shoulders, staring into her eyes, hoping to find a clue.

Amanda turned her head away. “Elias, you’re not thinking straight right now. Let’s talk

again once you’ve calmed down. I’m tired. I need to sleep.”

“Amanda! Have you learned to keep things from me now? I’m your husband. Why are you

treating me like this?”

The man’s anger was evident, looking to erupt any moment now. But he had to restrain

his temper because the person in front of him was the woman he loved.

“And what about you? Aren’t you also hiding things from me? You regained your memory a

long time ago but never bothered to tell me. You just want to see me anxious and spend

all my time around you. Do you find it satisfying?”

Amanda vented all her frustrations.

The man was slightly taken aback. “You noticed?”

“Surprising, isn’t it? Did you think I would never find out? You thought you could tell me

when you felt like it, and I would be deeply moved?”

“You misunderstand, I didn’t mean that! I’ve only recently regained some memories, and

there are still many fragmented things I can’t remember. I just wanted to wait until 1 fully

regained my memories before telling you”

Before the man could finish speaking, Amanda ruthlessly interrupted him, “Enough, don’t

explain anymore. I don’t want to hear it. At the end of the day, after you lost your

memory, you started to distance yourself from me emotionally. You have to admit that you

don’t trust me as much anymore.”

“How can I trust you if you don’t tell me?” Elias was on the verge of collapse. Why is it so

difficult to communicate with women?

“I said, let’s talk again once you’ve calmed down.”

Amanda removed the man’s hand from her shoulder and went downstairs.

This time, Elias didn’t chase after her. Not because he didn’t want to, but because he felt

dizzy, and his head was beginning to throb.

It had been many days since he had a headache after returning to the country, but now it

was happening again. He had a hard time steadying his feet as well.

Placing one hand against the corridor wall, he watched Amanda’s figüre descend the

stairs. step by step. Forget it. I’ll talk to her again after tonight.

No matter what he said now, Amanda would not want to listen. He didn’t have the energy

to explain anymore.

Amanda went to the garden alone and felt a sense of loss when she realized the man

didn’t continue chasing after her.

What’s wrong

with me? She didn’t want to get angry at Elias just now, but she couldn’t control her

temper. Just last night, they were being so intimate and affectionate to each other. How

did they become enemies now?

Suddenly, she heard some movement from the garage. She glanced over and saw Elias

driving a sports car out.

She felt even worse now, a suffocating sensation in her heart.

He actually drove away.

Tears uncontrollably welled up in Amanda’s eyes. She didn’t want Elias to leave, but she

couldn’t bring herself to reconcile with him.
