The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 517

Chapter 517 So, Elias Has Regained His Memory?

“Go away! I told you to sleep on the bed, but I never said you could touch me! Back off!”

Amanda struggled incessantly, trying to push away the man who was tightly holding onto. her, but she couldn’t budge him no matter how hard she tried.

“But you’re scared now. How can I, as a man, leave my wife alone?”

Elias held her in his arms and whispered in her ear, “I’m just holding you. I won’t do anything to you. But if you keep struggling like this, I can’t guarantee that I won’t do something.”

She was speechless. As soon as he said this, Amanda really dared not move anymore.

Seeing her suddenly quiet down, the man chuckled softly, lightly kissed her earlobe, and said, “Be a good girl and go to sleep.”

Originally, he did have some intentions after getting on the bed, but he thought about it and decided against it. After all, he didn’t want to make Amanda angry.

Of course, so long as he wanted, he could get his way with her, even if Amanda would get mad at him. She could never stop him. Nonetheless, he wanted her to submit to him. willingly when she was in a good mood.

“Sleep, my foot. How can I fall asleep after you told such a terrifying story? Do you think. everyone is as fearless as you and can sleep in a haunted house?”

Amanda put herself in his shoes and thought that if she lived in such a haunted house, she definitely wouldn’t be able to sleep and would probably get sick from fear.

Seeing her scared like this, Elias felt a bit sorry for her, so he couldn’t help but tell her, “Stop thinking about it and go to sleep, because it’s all made up by me.”

“What? Made up by you?”

Amanda looked incredulous and broke free from the man’s embrace.

The man couldn’t help but laugh when he saw her shocked expression and nodded. “Who knew I was such a good storyteller? I managed to deceive you with it.”

“Elias! Did you make up such a terrifying story just to get on my bed? Do you have nothing else better to do?”

“But if I didn’t do that, you wouldn’t let me get close to you at all.”

“Do you think I’ll let you get close to me now that I know?” Amanda’s face turned cold, looking like she could explode at any moment.

Elias knew that he had no hope of sleeping on the bed tonight, so he sighed softly, then lifted the blanket off himself and got up to leave. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Amanda watched his back and asked, “Where are you going?”

“To sleep on the couch. What else? Or are you letting me sleep on the bed?” Elias, with his tall figure, stood by the bed, giving a sense of security.

Amanda awkwardly said, “You… You can sleep on the bed. However, as a punishment, you can only lie next to me, but you must not get close to me. Don’t even try it. Now come here!”

Although the story was made up, she already felt a sense of fear that couldn’t be eliminated in a short time.

She would still be afraid to sleep alone on the bed.

Elias paused for a moment, then smiled. “So, even if it’s made up, you’re still scared?”

“Enough nonsense from you. Get on the bed and sleep. Otherwise, you can sleep on the floor!”

This way, she wouldn’t be afraid of something crawling out from under the bed.

Elias immediately returned to the bed and pulled up the blanket. “Then, I choose to sleep on the bed. If you can’t sleep and feel scared, I don’t mind letting you sleep in my embrace.”

“No need!”

“I mean, if you have a nightmare, you can crawl into your dear’s arms, which will always be open for you.”

“Shut up, Elias, you’re so annoying. I’m going to sleep.”

The only response she got was a low chuckle from the man.

Elias had already anticipated that in the middle of the night, Amanda would be frightened by a nightmare and crawl into his arms to seek comfort.

Amanda closed her eyes and ignored the man behind her.

After a while, she fell into a deep sleep, but she also had a strange and terrifying dream.

In the middle of the night, Amanda woke up from the dream, panting heavily, her eyes filled with fear, and she was covered in cold sweat.

Instinctively, she turned around and crawled into the man’s arms, placing her arm around. his waist, instantly feeling safe.

At the same time, the feeling of fear in her heart gradually faded. away.

She knew it was just a dream, but she still felt scared after having a nightmare. The sensation

was too real.

Amanda held onto the man tightly, but she didn’t know that the corners of his mouth were almost reaching his eyes.

The man gradually tightened his long arms, embracing her tightly, and his chin rested on top of her head. “Don’t be afraid, darling, I’m here.”

Amanda’s body stiffened. She didn’t expect this shameless man to be awake.

She wanted to push him away, but he held her even tighter.

“If you’re scared, why push me away? Isn’t that what I’m here for?”

“Elias, you shameless man! This was all intentional!” Amanda really wanted to bite him.

“It was intentional, but I also intentionally wanted you to hold onto me.”

She was at a loss for words.

Elias lifted her angry little face and slowly leaned in, kissing her. Amanda wanted to resist, but the man kissed her deeper and more passionately.

The next day, in the morning.

Amanda woke up at noon and felt like she had been tossed around by Elias last night.

She didn’t expect to let that despicable man have his way with her. Wasn’t she angry? How did it turn out like this….

Amanda sat up, dragging her sore body to the bathroom to freshen up. After changing her clothes, she planned to look for something to eat.

Her stomach was growling. She had been feeling hungry since the middle of last night, plus their lovemaking session lasted until ungodly hours as Elias refused to let her off.

She sat down in the dining room, and the kitchen was serving food.

All of a sudden, her phone rang, and Amanda glanced at it. It was Elias calling, probably

wanting to tease her.

Amanda answered the phone and placed it by her ear. “Why are you calling? Checking if I’m awake?”

“My dear wife is so clever. Have you slept enough?”

“No! I’m replenishing my energy and will continue sleeping after eating!”

A chuckle came from the phone. “Sure, sleep as much as you want. I’ll wake you up when I come back. In the afternoon, I’ll have Yacob pick up the kids from school.”

“Hmph, I don’t want to talk to you.”

“By the way, tomorrow is your birthday. Is there any place you wish to visit? Let me know.”

Birthday? She almost forgot herself. There had been too many things happening recently.

“Let’s talk about it later. I need to eat. I’m too hungry. Goodbye.”

“Okay.”

After ending the call, Amanda sensed that something was amiss.

My birthday? Did Elias actually remember my birthday? Isn’t he suffering from amnesia?

Amanda’s eyes gradually filled with astonishment.

Last night, Elias mentioned his time studying abroad. Even though it was fabricated, he actually recalled studying abroad.

So, has Elias recovered his memory?

As she contemplated on this, tears welled up in her eyes. She grabbed her phone and attempted to call Elias, but received no response after several tries. He was likely occupied.

However, the mere thought of him regaining his memory caused Amanda’s heart to race, almost bringing her to tears uncontrollably.

This is wonderful! Elias has finally regained his memory!
