I Will Always Believe In You
Witnessing Stephanie’s intense reaction, Crispin became even more convinced of his thoughts.
Stephanie had undeniably developed feelings for someone else.
She had fallen for Elias, her very own brother-in-law.
Under Crispin’s unwavering gaze, Stephanie felt uneasy, and her attempts at explanation. sounded
feeble even to her ears.
With anger in her voice, she yelled, “I’ve already said nothing is going on! Stop spreading rumors! I
would never steal a man from my sister. Even after their divorce, such thoughts never crossed my
mind!”
In truth, these words served as reminders for herself, a constant warning to resist the allure of Elias.
Crispin revealed a faint smile. “Steph, I trust you. I will always trust you.”
However, concealed beneath that smile was an insatiable greed that knew no bounds.
Whether Stephanie loved him or not was of lesser importance. What truly mattered to Crispin was
becoming a son-in-law of the esteemed Allegra Family by any means necessary.
“Crisp, you….”Stephanie suddenly found herself at a loss for words, overwhelmed by guilt.
“Steph, I believe every word you say. Don’t worry. Even if they investigate me, I won’t expose you. It
has nothing to do with you, after all,” Crispin assured her.
Stephanie remained silent as her gaze fixed upon him.
This only deepened Crispin’s conviction that Stephanie was now guarding herself against him. In any
case, she didn’t wish to marry him, and that was something he could not accept.
He needed to come up with a plan to expedite their marriage. The more it was delayed, the slimmer
their chances of getting married.
Determined to take control of the situation, he seized Stephanie’s hand and began to lean in for a kiss.
However, she deftly evaded his advance.
“Don’t do this. It’s not good if my family catches us. I’ll go back first,” she exclaimed, turning around and
running away
As Crispin watched Stephanie’s panicked figure sprinting away, a cold chuckle escaped his

lips. “It doesn’t matter whether you love me or not. I will definitely become your husband. You have no
other choice.”
As Elias returned to the Winters Estate, he gazed upon the vast property, only to find it incredibly dull.
Boris, the butler, approached him from behind. “Mr. Winters, would you like to have a meal, freshen up
with a bath, or maybe indulge in a relaxing soak in the hot springs first?”
Elias cast a glance at Boris. “Didn’t Rosie take a dip in the hot springs today?”
Boris clarified the situation. “Not every day, Mr. Winters. She did so just last night.”
“How has her health been lately? When does she plan to go home?” Elias inquired further. The peculiar
circumstances of both him and Rosie residing at the estate piqued his curiosity.
Boris responded bluntly, “I’m not entirely certain about Miss Momsey’s health condition, but her
temperament has been quite volatile lately. She’s been quick to snap at the staff, and we’ve had to
replace the helpers who attend to her multiple times.”
Elias scoffed disapprovingly. “Did I bring her here solely to discipline my helpers?”
Boris maintained a stoic silence in response.
“Help me pack a few clothes and send them to Galaxy Bay. I’ll be staying there for a few days,” Elias
requested.
“Yes, Mr. Winters.”
Elias nonchalantly slipped his hands into his pockets and cast another glance over the estate. There
was a peculiar sense of absence as if something were missing-perhaps the incessant noise caused by
that little brat, Aiden.
“Mr. Winters, would you like to have dinner as well? I’ll have the helper prepare your clothes
immediately.
“Yes, but keep it simple and fast.”
“Understood
Then, they made their way toward the villa.
After arriving at the dining hall, Elias pulled out a chair and seated himself. The atmosphere felt oddly
hushed and carried a sense of solitude. Normally, the presence of his son would disrupt his meals, but
now the space seemed vacant and deserted.

Soon after, Boris entered with a hearty serving of food.
“I specifically requested to keep it simple,” Elias remarked, reaching for his utensils.
Boris chuckled softly. “The late Old Mr. Winters had instructed us to take good care of your daily needs,
especially when it comes to your meals.”
Grandpa…
Elias momentarily paused while reaching for a plate. A faint smile played at the corner of his mouth.
“Alright, then. You may leave now,” he commented.
Boris nodded and left the dining hall.
Just as he exited, Rosie hurriedly burst in. Boris greeted her politely, “Miss Momsey, is there something
I can assist you with?”
“Where’s Eli? Is he planning to stay outside?” Rosie inquired impatiently, hastening to clarify the
situation. Finally, I have this perfect opportunity. Amanda and that little brat have both moved out of the
estate, but now Eli is going to leave as well. What’s the point of me being all alone in this estate?
“It is Mr. Winters’ affair, and we do not have the right to inquire,” Boris responded.
“I’m asking you where he is right now!” Rosie didn’t wish to waste time conversing with the butler. She
wanted to speak with Elias directly.
Boris swiftly replied, “He’s having his meal in the dining hall.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Rosie immediately made her way toward the dining hall.
Boris glanced at her hurried figure. Shaking his head helplessly, he murmured to himself, “Dealing with
this stubborn girl is best left to Mr. Winters himself.”
It was because Rosie only displayed her gentle and charming side when in Elias’ presence while
behaving like a madwoman in front of others.
Rosie briskly entered and caught sight of Elias, who was leisurely enjoying his meal. Instantly, her
anger dwindled by half.
Elias lifted his gaze slowly and inquired, “Do you need something from me?”
Rosie composed herself and asked, “Why are you also choosing to stay outside? You don’t want to be
around me, do you?”

Elias chuckled softly. “You’re overthinking. I’ve been rather occupied lately, so I’m staying closer to the
company. If you wish to indulge in the hot springs, feel free to do so as much as you desire. Once
you’ve had your fill, I’ll have Taylor come to take you home.”
“You’re leaving, so what’s the purpose of my remaining here all alone? I…” As Rosie spoke, she
realized she might have said too much and abruptly halted.
Elias laughed and met her gaze. “Did you truly believe I was unaware of your intentions? You saved my
son’s life, and I am indebted to you. I will grant your every request, except for the one thing you desire.
It is beyond my ability to fulfil it in this lifetime. So, do not waste your time on me.”
“How do you know you can’t grant my request? You won’t know unless you try.”
Having already breached that barrier, Rosie no longer wished to continue the pretense. It was better to
be direct.
“Because I don’t want to, and I have no desire to attempt it. Is that reason sufficient?” Elias responded
firmly.
Silent tears welled up in Rosie’s eyes. Much like in the past, Elias had resolutely rejected her once
again.
Her emotions plummeted to the depths as she uttered, “I’ll gather my belongings and leave. You don’t
need to leave. This is your home. I should be the one leaving.”
After saying that, she turned around and left the dining hall, each step feeling as heavy as if bearing the
weight of a thousand pounds.
“Wait.”
Rosic stopped in her tracks, a glimmer of hope shining in her eyes. She anticipated Elias was about to
intervene and stop her. With a hopeful smile, she turned back toward him.
However, Elias merely wiped the corners of his mouth, rose from his seat, and stated, “You may stay
here for as long as you wish, using your status as the savior. I’ve been occupied lately, so I doubt I’ll
return.”
