Chapter 400

Amanda was captivated by his flawless profile, but the words she spoke next seemed to hang in the air. laden with unspoken tension. “I heard that the paternity test you did doesn’t match with Aiden.” Her voice tinged with discomfort as if she struggled to catch her breath amidst the weight of the revelation.

Elias’ pitch-black eyes slightly widened, then darkened. Who told you that?”

“That Lawrence… Aren’t you even a bit suspicious?” She couldn’t help but stand up for herself, a sense of surprise washing over her as she realized he had no intention of addressing the matter.

Always Be with You

“Why are you so sure? Aren’t you afraid that I might have betrayed you?” Amanda’s expression was earnest and she didn’t seem to be joking.

As Elias gazed upon her current expression, a chuckle effortlessly escaped him. “Even if I give you ten times the courage, you wouldn’t dare.”

“What makes you think I wouldn’t dare? Why are you so certain?” She didn’t like his confidence, which even bordered on arrogance.

The man breathed a profound sigh as his slender fingers caressed her cheek tenderly. Tm only certain that Amanda from four years ago wouldn’t dare. As for the current you, I can’t say for sure.”

She felt a subtle surprise washing over her as his words puzzled her initially. However, after a brief moment of contemplation, a flicker of realization illuminated her expression.

Four years ago, Elias was confident that Amanda’s love and loyalty ran deep for him. However, the tides of time had brought about significant changes, and he had caused her immense pain. Nevertheless, if she were to betray his trust and stray from their path, it would send his world into a chaotic whirlwind of panic and despair. For him, the once-overflowing love she had shown him four years ago now seemed to have waned, a poignant realization that he couldn’t escape blaming himself for entirely.

With a genuine and solemn gaze, she inquired, “Are you saying that I don’t love you enough now and that I might do something to hurt you?”

Then, he chuckled lightly. “Although I couldn’t bear it, you have the right to do so because I hurt you too deeply.”

At this vulnerable moment, Amanda’s heart seemed to melt. As she curled her fingers, she discovered a side of Elias she hadn’t anticipated behind his invincible facade, he, too, experienced moments of vulnerability.
