Chapter 515 Coaxing Her
Amanda was momentarily taken aback and snapped, “Who let you in? Get out! I said I will sleep in my son’s room from now on!
Get out!”
Elias’ expression soured, but he managed to keep his temper in check, not wanting to upset. Aiden. He calmly took her hand and
suggested, “Let’s discuss this outside so we don’t disturb our son. Besides, he needs to bathe, and the nanny is waiting.”
She was speechless and thought, This man surely knows how to come up with excuses.
Their son chimed in with a touch of teasing. “Daddy, Mommy is mad at you. You should calm her down. It’s not easy to soothe
her when she’s upset.”
“Aiden Bailey, hush!”
“Oops... Mommy, you don’t look pretty when you’re angry.” Aiden then playfully stuck out his tongue before retreating to the
other side of the bed.
Elias gently held Amanda’s wrist and urged, “Don’t be upset with our little guy. It’s my fault. Please, let me explain. Remember,
we agreed not to argue in front of our child?”
She found herself at a loss for words as he skillfully used her words against her.
“Aiden, be a good boy and let the nanny help you with your bath.”
“Okay, Daddy. Remember to coax Mommy, or she’ll get even angrier,” Aiden advised.
Elias smiled helplessly and replied, “I know.” He then led Amanda back to their master bedroom. She quickly pulled away from
his arm and sat at the dressing table, ignoring him.

He studied her annoyed expression and searched for the right words to ease her noticed her mood seemed slightly better now
that they were back in the bedroom.
Then, he took off his suit jacket and tossed it on the bed, loosened his tie, and sat at the edge of the bed. He looked at his wife
and asked, “Honey, are you not going to talk to me?”

However, she remained silent as her hands idly toyed with the cosmetics at the dressing table.
Elias chuckled lightly, loosened his shirt collar, and got up. He approached Amanda from behind and gently placed his hand on
her shoulder. “Sorry, I messed up. I’m ready to face whatever punishment you choose.”
“Go away. I don’t want to talk to you right now. In fact, I don’t want to speak to you until next month. You can sleep on the couch,
and I’ll take the bed.” She got up and headed to the

bathroom, not giving him a chance to respond.
He stared at the closed bathroom door, realizing that sleeping on the couch wasn’t an option. He had a wife to share a bed with,
and the thought of sleeping alone was unthinkable.
The sound of running water echoed from the bathroom. As Elias heard it, he couldn’t help. but picture Amanda showering inside,
making his Adam’s apple bob nervously. How could I possibly sleep on the couch with that image in my
head?
Ten minutes later, she emerged from the bathroom wearing her pajamas. Her hair was partially dried, her skin flawless, and her
slender figure alluring in the lightweight sleepwear, radiating an irresistible charm.
“I’ve finished my shower. Now, it’s your turn. But remember, you’re sleeping on the couch tonight. No wandering thoughts, or else
I won’t forgive you.” She lay on the bed and picked. up her phone to pass the time.
He looked at her with longing eyes and spoke hoarsely, “Honey, don’t be so hard on me. I haven’t done anything unforgivable. I
hung up your call to prevent Rosie from getting angry at you.”
“Enough. I don’t want to hear any excuses. Don’t attempt to talk your way out of this, or I won’t forgive you.”
Elias approached the bed, and the scent of Amanda’s shower gel wafted through the room, tantalizing his senses. “I messed up.
I promise not to hang up your calls again, okay?”

“Stop talking and go take your shower.” She saw through his intentions but intended to give him a lesson.
“After my shower, can I sleep on the bed?”
“Forget it! The couch is your only option tonight, or I’ll sleep in the other room. You decide.”
Observing her resolute stance, he let out a resigned sigh. Then, he removed his shirt, revealing his toned chest and abs, and
headed to the bathroom.
Meanwhile, Amanda couldn’t help but steal a glance at Elias’ chiseled physique and couldn’t help but wonder, Is he using his
muscular charm to entice me? Unfortunately for him, I won’t fall for
this.
After hearing the sound of water running in the bathroom, she couldn’t help but scoff as she scrolled through her Twitter feed.
Later, he emerged from the bathroom, draped in just a towel around his waist, his wet hair clinging to his forehead.

Without looking at him, she warned, “Don’t come any closer, and don’t provoke me.”
Still, he tried to coax her, “Honey, please let me sleep on the bed. A grown man like me squeezed onto that couch can’t possibly
get a good night’s sleep.”
“Then, sleep on the floor.” She briefly flashed a smile, and as she looked up, she inadvertently caught sight of his gleaming abs
before quickly averting her eyes.
“Sleep on the floor? Amanda, do you have to be so merciless? Haven’t I apologized enough?”
“No, I’m just not pleased. I want you on the floor. If you don’t want to, head to the next room. We absolutely can’t share the bed
tonight.”

Elias finally grasped the seriousness of the situation and reluctantly agreed, settling for the couch. He understood that Amanda
was determined to make him uncomfortable that night. His handsome face tensed briefly before he turned toward the couch. “If I
have to sleep here, let me stay in your room.”
She couldn’t help but crack a faint smile, swiftly concealing it from his view.
This standoff persisted until midnight, with Elias tossing and turning restlessly on the couch, unable to fall asleep.
Watching the man’s restless form, Amanda, who couldn’t sleep herself, furrowed her brow. “Why are you fidgeting so much?
You’re keeping me awake.”
“Honey, this couch is too uncomfortable. I can’t stretch out; I can’t sleep,” he pleaded, his tone. softening as if he sought some
compassion.
However, she scoffed and said, “Then, sleep on the floor since there’s plenty of space there.”
Elias gazed at Amanda, who was tucked into the bed, a cunning smile playing on his lips. He was well aware of her greatest fear,
and under the current circumstances, he didn’t feel guilty about employing a small ruse. “Honey, something is moving next to
you. What did you put there?”
Her eyes immediately widened, and her entire body tensed. She didn’t dare to make a single.
