“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?”

“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.

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.
