Chapter 125 Unless You Die Kneeling Here

Amanda inhaled deeply and got out of the car. Selina hastily rushed to her side with an umbrella Amanda... I've persuaded him for a long time, but he refuses to get up: Who's this guy?"

When Elias saw her while kneeling in the rain, his dark eyes lit up.

She simply stared at him as she said expressionlessly, "He's my ex-husband."

"What? Is he your ex-husband? I thought he was one of your admirers. But he's really cute..."

This was Selina's first and only impression of this man. The man was undeniably tall and handsome and his entire being exuded an extraordinary elegance. Frankly, it was the first time she had seen such a beautiful man in real life.

Amanda could help but roll her eyes. "He's not that cute. You only think that because you haven't seen that many cute guys." She didn't want to admit that Elias was a gorgeous man even though he was definitely stunning. If he wasn't born into a rich family, he would be discovered by a scout and debuted as a celebrity.

"So, what are we going to do now?" When Selina caught sight of the affectionate expression on Elias' face as rain poured down on him, she felt a little sorry for him.

Amanda took the umbrella from her hands. "Run along now. Let me handle this."

"Okay. Is Aiden in the car? I'll bring him into the house since it's raining so heavily."

She twirled around and started toward the car when Amanda grabbed her. "No, I'll bring him back in a few minutes. Go home and wait for us in the house.”

Although Selina didn't understand why Amanda was behaving so strangely, she nodded and turned into the villa. The rain fell like a deluge of water, and it was extremely terrifying as thunder roared and lightning cut across the night sky in frightening flashes of light.

Amanda held the umbrella firmly as she came to a stop in front of Elias and looked at his beautiful face. Even though he was soaked, he was still as sexy as ever.

"What on Earth are you doing? How is this behavior worthy of your status as the young master of the Winters Family? Get up.”

In all honesty, it was a rather shocking sight to see this man kneeling in front of her. Moreover, this guy was none other than Elias Winters, and he actually hung his head, set aside his arrogant pride, and prostrated himself before her. Although he was clearly on his knees, his aura was still so powerful that no one would dare to suggest that he was down and out.

"Why are you silent? Do you plan to kneel here forever?" Raindrops pelted on the umbrella that she was holding unforgivingly, causing their conversation to be somewhat disrupted by the heavy droplets.

Elias raised his head and gazed at her beautiful face. Then, he said in his husky voice, "You said that you'll forgive me and give me a chance if I kneel before you. I've done it. What about you Amanda was at a loss for words as her ears were filled with the pitter-patter of the heavy rain Her heart was in a mess as she thought, What should I do? I've already agreed to Simon's proposal, but Elias is doing this now... Even if Elias finally knows the truth, it's already too late. Everything's too late

"You don't have to do this, Elias, Go home. It doesn't matter whether I forgive you or not, and neither do I want to forgive you because I've already agreed to Simon's proposal."

After the words left her lips, Elias' head snapped up and his eyes were filled with shock as he shouted angrily, "What did you say? Who allowed you to agree to that?"

Amanda jumped in bewilderment in the face of his furious reaction. Even though this man was kneeling before her and utterly humbled, his aura was still as terrifying as ever. "Why can't I say yes to him? I'm just your er-wife. If we're going to be specific about it, I'm an ex-wife that you had never once favored before today. Don't you think that you're stepping out of line?" She immediately lost her temper when he started being all bossy and demanding. Does he think that he's the center of the universe!

"Turn down his proposal," he growled.

"Why should I reject him? Go home, Elias. You can get any type of woman you want. Now that you've seen Grace for who she is, your tastes should be marginally better." She felt that she should draw a clear line with him now. After all that she had been through-the disappointments that happened time and again-the last thing she wanted was to repeat the same mistakes.

"Don't make decisions for me. I know what I want!" Elias held his fists so tightly that his knuckles were crackling loudly. How dare that scumbag get ahead of me and propose to her? Does he think that he's good enough? If he wasn't kneeling right here trying to get into Amanda's good graces again, he might actually beat Simon up. Proposing to my ex-wife... How dare he!

"What do you want, then? You just can't stand to see others doing well, can you? I begged you to love me in the past, but you wouldn't even take a look at me. Now that we're already divorced and therefore, not related to each other, you want me back so desperately. What do you take me for? I'm a human with opinions and feelings of my own!"

"I know that you still hold a grudge against me for that slap. I'll stay on my knees until you forgive me. You should head in. Don't catch a cold. You don't have to be bothered with my existence here." His voice sounded so determined even though the sound of rain falling on the asphalt interspersed his declaration, as though he really planned to kneel here until the end of time.

"What's the point of you doing this, Elias? I've already agreed to someone else's proposal. Why will I ever forgive you? Do you think that that slap was the only wrong you did to me? There are so many more things listed on that list!" Frankly, she was close to losing her mind at this rate. If this man spent the night here, he would definitely fall sick tomorrow. Why is he so obstinate? she thought in frustration. Suddenly, her lips twitched into a cold sneer as she hissed, "Unless you kneel to your death here, neither 1 nor my dead baby will ever forgive you!"

Baby... Instantly, Elias felt that he had fallen into a bottomless abyss. The baby was the only topic he had no courage to bring up because he was the one who caused its death. If only I had trusted her back then and brought her to the hospital for a blood test. If only. Then, the child is probably three years old

He could plead for her forgiveness for everything else, but he couldn't lift his head high when it came to the baby. He had no right to ask for her forgiveness. So, he gradually lowered his head. and stared at the ripples on the ground caused by the splattering rain. His jaw tightened, and his fist balled up tightly.

Meanwhile, in the car, Aiden was becoming unsettled because he really needed to use the bathroom urgently. Unfortunately for him, his mother was off doing something and still hadn't picked him up after such a long time. Eventually, due to his desperation, he decided to toss caution to the wind and unlocked his seatbelt. After he maneuvered himself out of the child's seat, he immediately opened the door.

While the air between the two adults slipped into a dead silence and all they could hear from this world was the sound of the rain, a baby voice broke the silence in Elias' dark world, remarking in confusion, "Mommy, why is this man kneeling here?"

A stupefied Amanda widened her eyes, looked down, and saw her son wrapping his arms around her legs. Why Why did he come out? She instinctively snapped her head toward Elias, trying to gauge his reaction.

Elias jerked his head up the instant he heard a child's voice. When he saw the scene before him, especially the little boy standing before him, his eyes were filled with unspeakable shock.
