Chapter 63 Spending the Night with Him.

It was the afternoon when Elias and Amanda arrived in Calcheth. He had someone start a detailed search according to the coordinates from the location tracker. Meanwhile, she hoped to join the search party but could only stay with him and wait. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

After a few hours of looking, it was almost dark, and they finally found the hotel Dick was at this morning. all thanks to the phone he had left there.

Suddenly, Elias’ phone began vibrating, and Amanda immediately sat upright while looking at the phone, hoping they had found her son. He glanced at her with his cold eyes and answered the call. “Speak.”

“Mr. Winters, we found something, but it’s just a phone. The kidnapper is quite sly and seems to have found out we were tracking his location, so he deliberately left his phone in the hotel. According to all the hotel’s security footage, that car has left toward the highway. So, they might be in another city by now. He’s just toying with us.”

“Let’s move.

“Yes, sir!

After he hung up, Amanda looked at him expectantly. “What happened? Did they find him?”

“They did.”

She immediately felt relieved and smiled but did not expect the man to dampen her spirits the next second. “They found a phone, and that car is probably headed to another city. We have to move now.”

Her smile froze as she almost broke down uncontrollably. “What is that kidnapper trying to do? He didn’t call to ask for a ransom or even try to contact us. Instead, he brings Aiden everywhere. What is the meaning of this?”

She could not wrap her head around what the kidnapper was thinking. Don’t kidnappers abduct people for ransom? But this kidnapper is bringing Aiden everywhere and says he will contact me in three days. What is he up to?

Elias narrowed his eyes. “Maybe this isn’t about the ransom.”

“Are you saying…“ Amanda seemed to have realized something, but she was unsure if they were thinking about the same thing.

Then, he explained, “How many cases have you and Simon done, and how many people have you offended? Maybe it’s someone out to get back at you. All the signs the kidnapper is showing don’t seem like he’s out for money.”

What he said was true, and it shocked Amanda so much that she turned ashen. She had accepted countless cases throughout these years and offended many rich and powerful people. There were even some that vowed to kill her.

It was even so for Simon because he had sent many convicts to jail, and if those people thought Aiden was Simon’s son, it was reasonable for them to want to kidnap him.

The more she thought about that, the more she became terrified and began following Elias’ idea, thinking of possible suspects who would want revenge against her. Little did they know that the person who

kidnapped Aiden was the seemingly weak Grace.

“Come on. It’s getting late” Elias looked at his watch and did not finish his dinner before grabbing his coat, ready to leave.

Amanda followed suit, feeling somewhat sorry for him. He had not slept since last night and was constantly worried, ordering the bodyguards to search for Aiden Though he said he would sleep on the way here, he did not catch a wink and merely closed his eyes.

Once they got inside the car, he seemed tired and massaged his temples, but his eyes were still focused on the laptop on his lap as he tapped on the keyboard.

Amanda sat beside him and fastened her seatbelt. There were several times when she wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, she could not help but ask, “Are you tired? Why don’t you take a nap if you are? You haven’t slept since last night.”

“I’m fine. It’s nothing.” Elias’ eyes remained focused on the moving target on his screen. He had already tracked down the car’s movements,

“Okay…”

Maybe it was because she took the fever medicine last night and had a night’s sleep that caused her to stay energized. However, he had not caught a wink. Could his body stand it if this persisted?

Suddenly, she heard the sound of even breathing beside her and looked over. She saw Elias’ eyes were closed while leaning against the chair, seeming to have fallen asleep immediately, exhausted. Like father. like son, that was something he had in common with Aiden. The kid could also fall asleep immediately, which she was thankful for because it saved her the time and effort to coax him to bed.

The car shook slightly, and Elias’ head slowly fell onto her frail shoulder. She lowered her head to glance. at his handsome face inches from his and noticed his beautiful nose and sexy lips.

From her angle, she noticed Aiden looked like a miniaturized Elias and was growing to become more similar to him. That realization struck a faint smile on her.

She then used her head to steady Elias’ head on her shoulder so he could sleep more comfortably. Then, she turned to look outside the window, praying and hoping the universe would protect Aiden from harm. Also, she wished she would be able to see her baby soon.

Three hours later, they finally arrived at the city where the car was.

The vibration from the phone woke Elias up. When his eyes shot open, he saw a snowy-white neck before him and smelled the familiar sweet scent belonging to Amanda. He sat up straight and answered the call. “Speak.”

The bodyguard who called told him something, and she heard him mention a few areas in the city before letting the bodyguards continue their detailed search. Then, he hung up.

As he had a headache after waking up, he rubbed his temples, asking. “Why didn’t you wake me up?”

“You were exhausted, so I didn’t want to.”

Spending the Night with Him

“Let’s wait at the hotel Elias glanced at the driver in front.

The driver replied. Okay, Mr. Winters”

Amanda seemed confused. “We’re going to a hotel?”

“It’s getting late, and they need time to search. They might be able to find him before dawn, so let’s wait at the hotel’

“Oh…” He was right. It was almost 9.00PM, and a detailed search was tedious, so the driver drove them to a national chain hotel under Winters Enterprise.

When they arrived at the hotel, the receptionist told them. I’m sorry, but there aren’t any double rooms left. There is a VIP suite, though.”

Since Winters Enterprise was popular in every industry they were involved in, it was not surprising that their hotels were fully booked as well.

Then, we’ll have that. Elias spoke, but Amanda muttered something, feeling quite uneasy because she was slightly scared to stay in the same room as that man.

He had forcefully slept with her at the pool party that night… but there was no other option because that was the only room left.

When she and Elias arrived at the VIP suite via the elevator and entered the room, they froze after hearing a woman’s affectionate groan coming from next door. The atmosphere between them instantly became more awkward.

The woman’s moans rose and fell, seeming to be enjoying herself….

Amanda looked at the man beside her and noticed his helplessness as well. How… was she going to spend the long night with him?
