Chapter 465 Elias Gets Jealous
Amanda forced a bitter smile, not wanting to bring up the matter. It’s hard to put into words. Besides, she didn’t want Simon to laugh at her after she told him the story.
I have something to take care of. Let’s talk another time. I have to go”
Amanda had been avoiding Simon’s gaze, not wanting to say another word. After all, I don’t have the right to talk to him, and I probably deserve it.
He could tell something was wrong with her, so he reached out to stop her. “Are you avoiding me? Although we can’t be lovers, we were good partners and good friends once. Can I not even talk to you
now?”
“I-I’m busy. Let’s talk another day, okay?”
Clearly, she was feeling uneasy, so Simon couldn’t bring himself to pressure her further. He withdrew his arm. “You’re trying to avoid Elias seeing us together, aren’t you? He’s the winner now. Why would he be afraid of me, especially when I’m out of the game?”
His words carried a hint of self-mockery.
Amanda was stunned momentarily, but she was no longer facing away from him. After all, she could run, but she couldn’t hide.
“It’s not what you think, Simon. Elias isn’t that kind of person. How about this? Let’s find a place to sit and talk. We shouldn’t talk on the roadside.””
Simon smiled. “Sure. That’s a good idea. Besides, I owe you a meal. I’ll make up for it tonight. Therefore, allow me to treat you to dinner.”
Dinner?
Amanda looked up at the sky and belatedly realized that it had turned dark. I can’t believe I spent the afternoon wandering on the streets. The time sure passes quickly!
At the same moment, a car passed them. The pair didn’t notice that Elias was sitting inside the car.
Meanwhile, Elias looked out of the window of his car with a gloomy expression. He happened to spot the pair on the street. He couldn’t help but furrow his brows as he fixed the handsome man and the beautiful woman with a stare.
Is that what Amanda did when she said she loved me? By allowing another man to touch her in public? Who is that man? Is she cheating on me?
Elias was enraged by the thought. It turned out his wife was a promiscuous woman. To think they weren’t divorced yet fueled his anger.
In the clubhouse, Simon brought Amanda to a private room to ensure they could eat with privacy
The waiter served them the dishes and left the room immediately, leaving the two in awkwardness.
Amanda focused on eating, not feeling like communicating with Simon, even if it was just making eye
contact

ou seem down lately. Do you mind telling me what happened?”
Elias noticed the troubled look on Amanda’s face at first sight when they met up. He had been trying to ask her but didn’t find the opportunity.
Amanda paused for a moment before looking up with a smile. “You think so? But I’ve been doing well recently.”
“If you don’t want to talk about it, that’s fine.” Simon didn’t want to push her, so he changed the topic. “By the way, how’s Aiden doing recently? Has he adapted to the local kindergarten? I passed the kindergarten several times but never saw him playing outside.”
Amanda’s expression darkened at the mention of Aiden. She just kept eating without answering.
The change in her expression didn’t go unnoticed by Simon. He asked with a frown, “What’s wrong? Did something happen to him?”
“No!” Her head snapped to him, and she explained, her voice uncertain. “Nothing happened to Aiden. He’s fine. He has been staying at home all this time. Everything’s fine.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes, that’s right. Nothing happened. You’re hungry, aren’t you? Let’s dig in. We should leave after the meal. I don’t feel like staying here.” Amanda continued eating. Even though she had no appetite at all, she forced herself to eat.
Simon was puzzled. “Why don’t you want to stay?”
“I’ve told you. I’ve been busy recently…”
Simon fell silent, but he knew Amanda was only making up an excuse because he hadn’t heard of her doing any job recently. After failing to reach out to Amanda, their client came to him instead.
He stared at her without saying a word, causing her to fidget in her seat. She felt that she shouldn’t befriend Simon anymore. It’s best to cut ties with him.
“Excuse me. I’m going to the restroom.” Then, Amanda got up and left the private room.
Simon sat alone in the room. He looked at her plate, which was still full of food. He could tell Am no appetite, yet she kept stuffing food into her mouth.
His intuition told him that something had indeed happened, but she refused to tell him.
Amanda walked toward the restroom just to avoid Simon’s prying gaze. She didn’t know why she felt guilty when she was meeting his eyes.
It’s as if I’ve wronged him.
The next moment, Amanda froze in place before she turned the corner. Her eyes widened in shock as she stared at the man who walked toward her.
It’s Elias’ What is he doing here? Is he meeting up with his clients?
Elias caught sight of her as well. He walked straight up to her and accused, “How dare you accuse me of

cheating when you re meeting another man in a private room here? What are you two up to?”
His words were laced with jealousy. Anyone could see that he was jealous, but he thought otherwise.
Amanda got angry at his harsh words. “Stop talking nonsense! I’m just having dinner with a friend!”
“Having dinner? What’s the need to do that in a private room? I bet you two are having an affair.” Elas sneered, his voice full of disdain.
“Watch your mouth, Elias! You’re making a groundless accusation! I wouldn’t have chosen only to have dinner here if I cheated on you. I could’ve slept with him now.”
As soon as she finished speaking. Elias felt anger swell within him. He grabbed her chin and pinned her against the wall. “Sleeping with him? Have you f*cking forgotten that you are still my wife? You’re not sleeping with him!”
“Oh? Now I’m your wife? Then, why are you entangled with Rosie? Don’t tell me you’ve fallen for her.”
The two started another round of argument. Since they were burning with anger, neither one was willing to back down.
Amanda didn’t want to argue with Elias, nor did she want to provoke him, but she couldn’t bear it
anymore.
Tightening his grip on her chin, Elias spoke through gritted teeth. “I’ve told you many times. She was the first person I saw when I woke up. No matter how much I used to dislike her, she had done nothing wrong since I woke up. I don’t need to treat her like an enemy.”
Amanda sneered. “I bet you have ulterior motives. After all, you lost your memory and don’t remember anything. You can do whatever you want. Who am I to blame you?”
“Amanda! I warn you, mind your words. I’ve told you that I’ll investigate the matter. Once I find out the truth, everything will go back to normal.” Elias finally let go of her chin, but his eyes glared at her.
She sprinted down the stairs but suddenly remembered her pregnancy and slowed down. Clutching the test strip in her hand, she wondered what Elias Winters' reaction would be once he heard the news.
Yet, when Amanda was halfway down the stairs, she saw two figures in the living room—Elias and a sexy woman. Slowing down her steps, she held the handrail tightly and felt her heart sink. That was because she saw her husband and the woman behaving affectionately as though they were a smitten couple.

My spouse and i were really fortunate when Emmanuel managed to carry out his studies through your precious recommendations he had from your own web page. It is now and again perplexing to simply continually be giving freely information which many people could have been selling. And now we consider we have the website owner to thank for that. Most of the explanations you’ve made, the easy blog menu, the relationships you aid to create – it is all powerful, and it’s really making our son and us imagine that the subject is interesting, and that is exceedingly essential. Thanks for all the pieces!
