Chapter 216 Listen to Me, I’m Engaged to Stephanie

“Amanda! Listen to me!” Elias shouted angrily.

However, Amanda was in no mood to entertain a single word from him. “What else do you want to say? I’ve no interest in listening! Save your sweet words for your soon-to-be-engaged fiancée and future father- in-law!”

Although pleased to see her angry, Elias felt a twinge of heartache. He gently held her cheeks, causing her to become still. “Please, calm down. Things aren’t as they seem! Can you let me explain?”

She was stunned, and her gaze fixed blankly on the man..

“Listen to me, alright? I’m engaged to Stephanie, but it’s not what you think! I-” He was about to explain. his plan to her when the sound of the elevator doors opening in the underground parking garage interrupted them. Looking up, he saw Jack walking out, and he decided to stay silent.

“You want to say something? Then, say it! What exactly is going on? Say it! Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance!” Amanda’s anger grew as she noticed Elias abruptly falling silent.

Meanwhile, Jack was here to witness how Elias would handle the situation. Aware of his cunning. intentions, Elias released his grip on her hand.

Losing her balance, she took two steps back before looking at the man standing before her in bewilderment.

It would be preferable if you’re willing to entrust Aiden to me, but if not, I won’t insist. The decision is yours to make.” As Elias spoke, he felt a suffocating sensation in his chest, as if a heavy stone were crushing him. However, he knew he had to say that to gain Jack’s trust.
