Chapter 480 Will You Imprison Me Again?

Simon also approached and couldn't help but greet, "Aiden, do you remember who I am?"

The little one with red, teary eyes in the video chat suddenly widened them and joyfully shouted, "Mr. Simon, it's you!"

Upon hearing this long-lost term of address, both Amanda and Simon exchanged a stunne look, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

Nevertheless, Simon smiled and greeted little Aiden, "Yes, it's me. I heard you were crying. You're a man. You can't cry so easily."

"I didn't cry... I was just afraid that Mommy wouldn't answer my calls. I was afraid somethin happened to Mommy."

Amanda handed the phone to Simon, gesturing for him to chat with Aiden for a while.

Simon took the phone casually and began chatting with the little guy, his laughter tender. and affectionate. "Really? So, you were worried about your mommy, huh? That's very good of you. She lost her phone but quickly got a new one and called you after getting a new SIM card. She wasn't avoiding your calls, alright? Don't be upset anymore."

Watching Simon patiently talk to Aiden on the side, her guilt toward him deepened. She owed Simon so much kindness. How could she ever repay it?

Just then, the doorbell outside rang, and the housekeeper hurriedly walked out of the kitchen, saying, "I'll answer it."

A few seconds later, the housekeeper came running back, her face filled with fear. "Mr. Nicholson, the person outside says he wants to discuss work with you. It was a pre-arranged appointment, but as soon as I opened the door, he barged in aggressively-"

Before she could finish her sentence, the living room door was kicked open from the outside. Amanda was startled, her body trembling uncontrollably. She turned to look, her face filled with shock as she stared at the intruder.

Meanwhile, Aiden was still shouting from the other end of the phone. "Mr. Simon, when will you take me out to play? You said you would take me out to play last time, but you never did. You're lying to me..." Simon furrowed his brows and said to the little guy, "I have something to attend to here, so I'll hang up now I'll call you back tonight. Be a good boy and eat and sleep, okay?"

With that, he hung up the phone and stood up, looking at Elias, who had suddenly barged in with a fierce and menacing look, looking like he would go on a killing spree at any moment

Mr. Simon?

The use of this term made Elias clench his fists tightly, his knuckles cracking.

So, that child is really Amanda and this b*stard's?! So, my suspicions were right! I got into the car because I read the paternity test!

Seeing Elias' terrifying and ominous appearance, Amanda stepped forward and said, "Ple. don't cause a scene at Simon's house. I asked for his help. I escaped because I wanted to ca my son. He hasn't been able to reach me for two days. He missed me-"

Alas, before Amanda could finish her words, Elias roared, "Whose son is he? Yours with th b*stard, isn't he?! You keep insisting that the child is mine, but what about that paternity te you and this wild man his parents? You kept saying that the child is mine! What about the paternity test? And take him out to play?! Explain it to me! I demand a valid explanatic

After his furious outburst, Elias' head started to ache again.

Just at this moment, Rosie and the bodyguard, who caught up from behind, also entered th

room.

"Eli!"

"Mr. Winters!"

The two shouted in unison, but the man didn't even turn around to look at them.

At this moment, Elias was consumed by anger, wishing he could strangle Amanda right ther and there. However, this was Simon's house, so he had to restrain himself.

Amanda shivered under the yelling but quickly regained her composure. "It's not what think at all. You'll understand everything once you regain your memories."

Standing beside them, Simon was utterly confused, unable to comprehend the meaning of their conversation. He had no knowledge of Elias' amnesia due to the car accident, so Elias" words made no sense to him.

Suddenly, Elias felt his brain lacking oxygen, and his body became unsteady.

Rosie rushed to support him immediately. "Eli, are you okay? Let's go back to the hospital. Your body can't handle this stress-

However, before she could finish her words, Elias pushed her away, and she fell into the arms of the bodyguard.

Upon seeing Rosie, Simon became even more perplexed. He couldn't help but ask, 'Rasic? Weren't you in a mental hospital When did you get our? And wasn't Elias always despising

you? How did you two reconnect?"

Simon's words deeply wounded Rosie, and she angrily retorted, "Shut up, you two-timing couple! If it weren't for you, Elias wouldn't be like this, and he wouldn't have-"

"Shut your mouth and get out!" Elias couldn't take it any longer and yelled at Rosie, who wa standing behind him.

Rosie stood frozen in place, staring blankly at Elias as she wore a grieving look.

Silence filled the air as traces of tension lingered.

Elias took two steps forward, his pitch-black eyes boring into Amanda as he enunciated, "Amanda, come here. You are still my legal wife. You have no reason to be with other men. I'll give you another chance. Come back to me right now."

Amanda hesitated and didn't dare go over. She knew that if she returned to Elias, given his current state of amnesia, he would surely imprison her again, which would lead to Aiden. losing contact with her again. Who knew what would happen then?!

Meanwhile, Simon stepped in and spoke on her behalf when he caught her indecision. "Although I don't know what has happened between you two, please rest assured that there is nothing improper between Amanda and me. She caught a high fever from being in the rain last night, nearly 104 degrees, and only just recovered this morning. She needs rest and should not be jostled around. Let her stay for two more days before returning."

However, Elias did not pay attention to Simon or acknowledge his words. Instead, he fixed his eyes on Amanda, waiting for her response. Seeing that she had not taken a step forward, he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll give you one more chance. Come over here and come home. with me immediately! This is our family matter, and we don't need outsiders interfering!"

"If I go

back with you," Amanda asked uncertainly, "will you still imprison me? Will you cut off my contact with the outside world?"

"Of course! Even if you're my wife, you must face the consequences of your wrongdoing. Your previous act of kidnapping Rosie was over the line. I cannot turn a blind eye to it." Every word Elias said felt like a needle piercing Amanda's heart, hitting the mark.
