Chapter 18 I'm Angry! I'm Sad!

• When Grace noticed the look of frustration on Elias' face, she panicked a little. "Okay. I'll trust you! But… Wasn't it hard for you to hold yourself back last night, Elias? How did you control yourself?" Grace asked in a cautious tone. She didn't want to make him angry. It wasn't that she didn't trust him—it was simply that she couldn't trust Amanda! That was the perfect chance for Amanda to reconnect with Elias. Why would she give up on such a good opportunity?
• "I took a cold shower," Elias muttered flatly. Grace felt a lot more relieved after hearing his explanation. She knew him well enough to know that he wouldn't bother to explain himself if he had slept with Amanda—he would've just admitted to it instead. Elias wasn't a man who liked explaining himself, after all.
• A smile surfaced on Grace's face as she walked over to Elias. "Do you still feel the effects of the drugs now, Elias? Do you feel better…?" she asked bashfully.
