Chapter 535 Mr Winters Is a Good Husband

Amanda began to feel a bit hesitant. She regretted agreeing to this meeting and thought she appearedpetty.

Someone had saved her husband’s life, and now she was about to question their intentions. It feltinappropriate.

Just then, the office door was pushed open, and Jean, the secretary, entered with Casey.

“Mr. Winters, Miss Carter is here,” Jean announced.

“Alright, please prepare a cup of coffee for Miss Carter,” Elias instructed.

“Of course.”

Jean exited the office and closed the door behind her.

With Jean gone, the two women finally had a chance to take a good look at each other.

Amanda sized up Casey, who was indeed beautiful, with striking features and a captivating demeanor.Amanda hadn’t seen such a stunning woman in a long time.

Casey, on the other hand, was shocked and somewhat panicked when she saw Amanda.

She’s the woman Symeon talked to outside the kindergarten! He was only words away from confessinghis feelings to her. So, this is the woman he likes, who also happens to be Elias’ wife?!

Casey’s mind went blank. She had promised Symeon that she would help him pursue this woman, buthow could she do that now? Elias was her savior. How could she ruin his happiness? That wouldn’t beright! She would be punished by the heavens!

She felt completely incapable of carrying out her promise.

The atmosphere in the room became tense. Elias remained silent, and Amanda felt that Casey’spresence was enough to ease her worries.

She could tell that Casey was a sweetheart. So, she decided to break the ice and stepped forward,extending her hand to Casey. “Hi, Miss Carter. I’m Amanda, Elias’ wife.”

Casey, still in a state of shock, couldn’t snap out of it for a while until Amanda called out to her again,saying, “Miss Carter? Are you okay?”

She turned to look at Elias as if to say, “Have we frightened her?”

Elias wore a slight smile while speaking in a deep voice, “Miss Carter, my wife just wanted to

get to know you. There’s no other intention behind this meeting, so please don’t be afraid.”

Casey finally regained her composure, feeling embarrassed. “Um, I… I’m sorry. I was just lost inthought. You’re very beautiful, and I feel like I’ve seen you somewhere before.”

She reached out and shook hands with Amanda.

Amanda raised an eyebrow slightly and said, “Really? Well, it’s not surprising. We all live in Imperia, soit’s possible we’ve crossed paths before. Please, have a seat, Miss Carter.”

At that moment, Jean brought in three cups of coffee and placed them on the coffee table. She thensmiled and left the room.

Casey took a seat on the couch and watched the sweet and affectionate scene between the Winterscouple across from her. She suddenly felt overwhelmed with guilt.

“I wanted to thank you. My husband had a car accident a while back, and he hasn’t fully recovered yet.He fainted this time, and it was thanks to you that he was taken to the hospital. Otherwise, I don’t knowwhat might have happened.”

Amanda smiled warmly, and Elias, watching his wife’s profile, couldn’t help but smile too. His Mrs.Winters knew how to handle social situations, and the fact that she hadn’t made Casey uncomfortableindicated that she had let go of any suspicions.

Casey had been watching Amanda closely and replied, “It’s okay. After all, Mr. Winters also. saved mylife once.”

“Oh, by the way, I heard that it was because of Mr. Lawrence that you were in trouble last time. Do youhave any connections with Mr. Lawrence? Why was he bothering you?” Amanda inquired, wanting tounderstand the relationship between this woman and Symeon. Symeon didn’t seem like someone whowould resort to violence against a woman without

reason.

Obviously, the couple had completely forgotten what Mary had said about Dulcie’s biological motherwhen they were abroad, so they had no idea that the Casey before them. was Dulcie’s mother.

“I… I don’t know him, and I have no idea why he would treat me that way.” Casey replied. She had nointention of revealing the bizarre events that had transpired since she herself hadn’t fullycomprehended how she ended up with a daughter and a man in her life yet.

She couldn’t help but replace it somewhat amusing that she and Symeon had both developed an interest inthe Winters couple. What an odd situation it was.

“That’s really strange. I know him to some extent, and I didn’t think he had a penchant for mistreatingwomen. It’s quite despicable,” Amanda mused, lost in thought.

Casey felt uneasy hearing that. She had expected Amanda to reject any association with Symeon, butinstead, she had acknowledged it. Moreover, Elias seemed oblivious to any affair between Amandaand Symeon, making her feel even more awkward for him.

“Mrs. Winters, do you really know Mr. Lawrence? Are you close?” Casey asked deliberately, trying tonudge Elias, who remained expressionless, into action.

Amanda smiled gently. “We’ve met, but we’re not very close. His daughter and attend the samekindergarten, so we’ve crossed paths a few times.”

my son both

Elias, listening intently, furrowed his brows. “His daughter also attends Royal InternationalKindergarten? Who allowed that?”

Amanda chuckled. “Who needs your permission to attend any kindergarten? Besides, Aiden knowsDulcie; the two kids can play together.”

Elias’ face darkened slightly. He had no interest in having his son play with Symeon’s daughter.

Casey noticed that Amanda seemed to be covering up her relationship with Symeon quite well, andElias didn’t seem to have any suspicions. She felt a pang of sympathy for this man.

The three of them engaged in an awkward yet harmonious conversation for about an hour. Casey usedthe excuse of having other commitments to leave early, and Amanda offered to walk her out. Elias had

a meeting to attend, so he let them. go ahead.

Amanda and Casey walked toward the elevator in the company corridor. After hesitating for a while,Casey decided to wake Amanda up. “Mrs. Winters, Mr. Winters is a good husband. I hope you twohave a long and happy marriage.”

Implicitly, she meant that Elias was a great guy, and Amanda should stop eyeing other men, or shemight regret it sooner or later.

Amanda naturally sensed that there was something odd about this statement and asked with a smile,“Miss Carter, what do you mean by that? I’m not quite sure I understand.”

“It’s nothing. I just think that Mr. Winters is a very good man. He’s loyal to you and hasn’t done anythingto betray your trust. You don’t have to worry. But…

“But?” Amanda looked at the woman in front of her, feeling like she was being deliberately reminded ofsomething.

Casey smiled faintly. If a woman can replace a lifelong partner, she should never let go. Otherwise, she’llregret a deeply. Til be going now, Mrs. Winters. You don’t need to see me

With that she entered the elevator, leaving Amanda standing there feeling puzzled.
