Chapter 329 I Really Will Bite You

Meanwhile, Rosie was having dinner alone because she had no one to dine with her. Poking in boredom at the food in her bowl, she asked the maid next to her, “What kind of dinner party are they having over there? Why can’t I be a part of it?”

The maid replied, “It seems that somebody from the Allegra Family has come over to see Mr. Aiden. That’s why they’re having dinner together.”

“The Allegra Family? You mean Jack Allegra?”

“Yes, it’s him.”

Rosie had absolutely no idea about the cause and effect behind this. Puzzled, she asked, “Is Jack Allegra on such good terms with the Winterses? Why would he come over to see that little brat? What does that boy have to do with him?” The Jack Allegra she remembered wasn’t a kind and amiable person; he was calculating in every way and as treacherous and cunning as a fox.

Glancing behind her to ensure no one was around, the maid whispered, “I listened for at moment just now. Miss Bailey seems to be a daughter of the Allegra Family, and they’re discussing which day to announce it to the public.”

Rosie nearly jumped to her feet in shock. “What?! What did you say?! How could Amanda Bailey be a daughter of the Allegra Family?!” Amanda Bailey is the Allegra Family’s daughter? Isn’t she the daughter of that penniless gambler? How could she be the Allegra Family’s heiress? I remember that Stephanie Allegra, the heiress of the Allegra Family, is still in school. How could she have already given birth to a child?

The maid shook her head. “I don’t know the details, but from what they were saying, it didn’t sound like a joke. That would explain why the Allegras came to see Mr. Aiden. If Miss Bailey is indeed their daughter, Mr. Aiden would be their grandson.”

All of a sudden, Rosie felt somewhat panicked. Her biggest source of pride had been her family background, which matched that of Elias perfectly, while Amanda was just a slum- born ugly duckling who wasn’t even good enough to stand by his side. If Amanda is really a daughter of the Allegra Family, her family would be of a higher class than mine! Wouldn’t that make her and Eli a perfect match made in heaven? She stood frozen in place, unable to come to her senses for a long time. Didn’t God make me a bone marrow match for that little brat to help me? Why would He give that temptress such a big surprise?

After dinner, the Allegras sat in the garden for a long while before leaving.

Aiden had fallen asleep in Amanda’s arms and was carried back to his bedroom by Miriam to

sleep. At this moment, only Amanda and Elias were left in the garden. The moon shone brightly, while the scent of flowers filled the air.

It had been a long time since they had enjoyed such a peaceful and comfortable atmosphere. In the past few weeks, their nerves had been stretched thin. They had been in a constant state of tension and panic, feeling as though their hearts were going to give out on them.

Amanda gazed up at the pitch-black night sky as a gentle breeze caressed her soft, long hair. “It’s been a long time since we’ve been in such a state of mind.”

The man beside her seemed to have had a few drinks. He was tipsy, his gaze unfocused as he stared at her profile. “Why did you agree to it? I remember that you didn’t seem to want to return to the Allegra

Family before.” Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Amanda raised the corners of her mouth to form a smile. “You probably didn’t look into it before, but Stephanie was part of the reason why I went missing as a child. Even an idiot can. see that she doesn’t want me to come back, so I’ll come back despite her wishes.”

Stephanie? thought Elias. Indeed, he hadn’t looked into how Amanda had gone missing all those years ago. He had only taken that photo of Stephanie to surmise what she would’ve looked like as a grown- up.

“It’s getting late, and I’m sleepy. Time to go to sleep,” said Amanda before standing up. She was about to leave with no desire whatsoever to pay any attention to the man behind her.

However, Elias protested, “Don’t you care about me anymore? I’m a bit wasted, and I need. you to help me up.” His voice was deep and seductive, with even a hint of flirtation. Of course, only Amanda could hear him speak in such a voice because it was only in front of her that he would reveal his true self.

Amanda let out a sneer before turning to look at him. “No, you don’t need me. I won’t put my head in the lion’s mouth anymore. Go back on your own by leaning against the wall.”

Elias was speechless. A lion’s mouth? Am I that scary? His eyes narrowed. Leaning back in his rattan chair, he raised his chin slightly, asking, “Am I that scary?”

“What do you think? I’m covered in hickeys you left behind! What do you think about that?!” replied Amanda, growing angrier as she spoke. Now that nobody was around, she really wanted to bite this man. Because of him, she dared not wear any revealing clothes in front of her son. She had to cover herself up because this man had left his marks all over her body in a domineering fashion!

To her dismay, however, Elias burst out laughing in a cheerful voice, eyeing her up and down. as if undressing her with his gaze.

This made Amanda deeply uncomfortable, as though she had been taken back to the night when the man had pressed himself on top of her. “Don’t look at me! Stop it!” She covered her

chest with her arms.

Elias laughed even harder, though. “So what if I’m looking? Are you gonna bite me?”

“Do you

think I wouldn’t dare to do that?! Just you wait, Elias Winters!” Amanda flipped out at once. After glancing around to make sure that nobody else was there, she instantly lunged at the man.

However, Elias’ good-looking face had fondness written all over it. In a laid-back manner, he opened his arms, welcoming his woman into his embrace.

groan

Jumping into his arms, Amanda bit fiercely into his shoulder until she heard a muffled of pain from him. Her lips curled into a smile. Good that you know it hurts. However, just as she was about to get up and leave, the man’s long arm tightened around her slender waist, while his other hand pressed her head to his chest.

Struggling in vain, she swore furiously, “Let go of me!”

The man’s voice was charmingly husky. “Keep on biting if you want. It doesn’t hurt that much. In fact, it makes me more sober.”

Amanda replied, “I think you’re crazy. I really will bite you to death!”

“Just admit it-that you can’t really go through with it. You can’t bring yourself to be cruel to me,” said Elias with a laugh, totally unconcerned by her warning.

Amanda bit into his other shoulder without saying another word. This time, she didn’t hear him

groan; he seemed to have prepared himself for this. She then bit into his shoulder a few more times, only to hear him say in a seductive voice, “How about we go back to our room to bite each other? It’s not safe here; someone might see us.”

“Elias Winters! Don’t you have any sense of shame?! Even I’m embarrassed by you!” chided Amanda. How can he still behave like this despite already being a father? How dare he actually flirt with me! Pushing him away abruptly, she got up and ran away, looking like a princess fleeing. in a panic.

This time, instead of stopping her, Elias watched her disappear into the distance with at smile. He murmured softly, “So you really are a princess, huh…” I’ve got to work even harder to be a good prince, then. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be good enough for this princess, he thought. I have to speed up the process of regaining control of my company. Tomorrow, I have to talk to Jack Allegra about this. This sly old fox is so absorbed in reuniting with his daughter. He’d better not forget about battle for power.
