Chapter 388 Jealousy

Soon, Elias flipped out and rose from his seat. “Damn it! How dare he get so close to my son!”

“That’s why I brought this matter up to you guys so that we can all think of a solution together. What should we do now? That guy seems to think that Aiden is his son, but that’s impossible. You, of all people, should know that, Amanda replied helplessly. After all, she had already explained to Symeon countless times but to no avail, because the man still insisted that he was Aiden’s father.

A question suddenly flashed through Elias’ mind as he turned around and looked at Amanda. “Why does he keep thinking that Aiden is his son? Did you get in touch with him when you spent those few years in Esmos? What happened between the two of you?” Elias was overwhelmed by a sting of pain at the thought of that possibility.

“How am I supposed to know that? I only heard about him when I was in Esmos, and that was all! There was no chance for us to get in touch with each other. Furthermore, why would a big and prestigious family like the Lawrences be interested in a rookie lawyer like me? What are you talking about?!” Amanda was annoyed because she didn’t expect Elias to doubt her, although the real purpose of bringing that matter up was to discuss the matter with him.

As the atmosphere began to grow a little tense and awkward, Yacob stood up and interfered with a fake cough. “Miss Bailey, you said Mr. Lawrence presented a DNA paternity test report to prove his biological relationship with Mr. Aiden, but since we all know that’s impossible, that means that report must be fake, which begs the question-who counterfeited that report?”

“That’s what I thought as well. There must be a mastermind behind all this, and whoever that is must have led Symeon to me. Furthermore, he insisted that the lady he slept with four years ago was me, claiming he had conducted a long investigation before he found that out. Then, he said he had been

observing my life as a single mother over the past 4 years, even hoping I would go to him with our son one day, but I came back to Cludan instead. Thus, he made his move and came for me.”

Amanda carefully recalled every word Symeon said, thinking there was nothing she had missed. It seems that Symeon was already sure Aiden was his son in the beginning, but why? As she got more and more engrossed in telling her story, she unknowingly forgot about Elias feelings.

As Elias’ face darkened more and more, Yacob, who was afraid a conflict would happen, quickly gave an excuse and left the area, “Um. I think I should check on Mr. Aiden. He is probably hungry now or something.” He finished his words and walked away.

In the meantime, Elias sniggered in a jealous manner, fixing his gaze on Amanda’s expression as she tried. hard to recall every detail. Then, the lady snapped out of her trance and asked, “What’s so funny?” Deep down, she couldn’t understand why Elias would snigger because his wife and son were in potential danger.

“So, you said Symeon had been observing you for the last four years, right?” In fact, Elias had no idea where Amanda was in those four years. Besides, he didn’t know what Amanda was doing and was unaware of their son’s existence, which was what made him even angrier when he thought about the possibility that Symeon had been watching his wife all this time.

Amanda couldn’t refute Elias’ argument. What he says kind of makes sense… Nevertheless, the man’s jealousy got the better of him shortly after. “If there was really nothing between the two of you, then why did he say that you were the woman he slept with four years ago?!” Elias gritted his teeth, questioning his wife angrily.

“H-How am I supposed to know that? I…” Amanda didn’t know what to say, wondering what Elias was doing. Why is he interrogating me like I’m being tried?

“What are you talking about, Elias?! You, of all people, should know whose son Aiden is. Don’t you think so? Why would you doubt me for that?! I didn’t sleep with any other man in those four years, and when we divorced, I was already pregnant! I was pregnant when I left the country. Before we divorced, I was crazy over you, but you wouldn’t even look at me. So, do you really think I had time to do something like that? Where is the trust you have in me?!” Amanda was in a rage, thinking she shouldn’t have brought that matter up with Elias because that would only make her more anxious and angrier.

Amanda’s words were like a bucket of cold water splashed at Elias. Yeah, Aiden is my son, and I know that. We did a DNA test to confirm that. Furthermore, before Amanda and I divorced, she did everything she was supposed to as a dutiful wife, not to mention the fact that she didn’t do anything wrong to me at all. Therefore, there was no way she would have slept with any other man in those four years. At the thought of that, Elias laughed at himself for his foolishness and meaningless rage, finding his fickle emotions a little ironic. He then walked closer to Amanda to hug her, speaking in a deep voice. I’m sorry. I lost my mind….”

“Don’t touch me! I shouldn’t have brought this matter up to you. The reason I’m telling you all this is that I don’t want to face that man alone, but at the same time, I was also afraid that you’d get the wrong idea about my relationship with Symeon after hearing my story. If you’re going to misunderstand one way or another, then I should have kept this to myself in the first place! I don’t need your help to protect my son!” Amanda turned around and stomped off without looking back.

Elias then seized Amanda’s wrist and pulled her into his arms, refusing to let her go, no matter how hard. she struggled. “I’m sorry, Amanda… Listen to me. I. I was just jealous.” In the end, the man confessed and admitted his jealousy.

While Amanda reacted with a cold grunt and continued to ignore the man, Elias had his arms wrapped. around her and said, “I was busy in Esmos in the past few days, but whenever I was free, I would think of you, and I couldn’t help it. Then, when I came back, the first thing I heard from you was that news before we even had a chance to share an intimate moment. So, I just couldn’t help but succumb to my emotions. After all, I can’t stand imagining Symeon watching you in the shadows in those 4 years.”

“What’s your point? I didn’t know he was watching me either. I didn’t even know his existence to begin with.” Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Alright, I get you. It was my fault, Amanda. I’m sorry. Please talk to me, would you?” Elias hugged Amanda tightly in his arms, afraid that he would lose her once again.

In fact, Amanda would hate to get mad because it was hard for her to stand up to Symeon alone, which was why she needed Elias to help her. After all, Aiden was indeed their son.

“Don’t worry. I’ll protect you and our son and keep you both from anyone who would harm us. Believe me, okay?” Elias whispered gently in Amanda’s ear, his breath tickling her ear.

Amanda was helpless. “Alright, I got you. Now, let me go. Your breath is making my ear really ticklish.”

As Amanda tried to push the man away, Elias tightened his arms around even more, chuckling. “What about now?” He then kissed her earlobe and added, “I miss you, Amanda. I miss you so much.”

Is this how a man who’s in love behaves? Such a sweet talker. Amanda shoved the man away, her face blushing in embarrassment. “Stop it right there. Your flirtatious words aren’t going to work on me.”

“What is your desire then? I can do anything to please my beloved wife. Elias smiled mischievously.
