Chapter 64 A Strange Atmosphere

“I’ll take a shower. You can rest for a while.” Elias took off his coat, making his way toward the bathroom, not wanting to listen to that woman’s heinous howling.

Amanda nodded and sat on the bed somewhat helplessly. Then, she took out her phone, which had been switched off for a full day. She wanted to turn it on and see if the kidnapper had contacted her but felt disappointed after seeing no calls from them.

However, there were dozens of missed calls and numerous text messages from Simon.

Biting her lip, she knew he was worried about her, but she could not help but feel angry when she remembered how he chose to call the cops.

Suddenly, her phone began to ring. It was a call from Simon, but it was too late for her to turn off her phone. It continued to ring as though it would not stop until she picked up the call.

After hesitating. Amanda answered the call and placed it to her ear. Before she could say anything, she heard Simon’s anxious voice yelling, “Amanda! Where have you been? Why did you run away like that? Is it because I called the cops? My rationality told me we should call the cops because that’s the quickest way to find Aiden. His voice sounded tired and raspy as if he had not slept all night.

“Simon, I’m fine. We might be able to find Aiden soon, so don’t worry.”

“Amanda, where are you? Please come back. I’m worried something might happen to you…”

Since she could not reveal too much to Simon, she waited until he finished and hung up before deciding to keep her phone turned off. At that moment, the bathroom door opened, and Elias came out with a white towel around his hips. His wet hair was stuck to his forehead as he looked at her sitting on the bed.

“Your turn.”

Amanda was silent, thinking, why do I feel like the atmosphere’s a little strange?

Now that Elias had finished his shower and asked her to take hers, what would happen next? Would the appropriate progress not be that they sleep together?

It was then the woman’s moan sounded from the room beside them again in crescendo. It was… simply outrageous.

“F*ck this…” Elias could not help but curse. How was anyone going to sleep tonight?

Meanwhile, Amanda bowed her head, wanting the floor to swallow her whole. That was the only room left, so there were no other options. How were they going to get past tonight?

Suddenly, she noticed the television on the wall and went to grab the remote. Then, she turned it on and increased the volume, successfully covering most of the moaning from the room next door. “Here. You can’t hear it anymore, right? You can go to bed now.”

Elias glanced at her and retorted, “How am I going to sleep like this?” He leaned against the bed and began making calls, arranging for his men to search specific places.

After looking at the busy man, Amanda quietly entered the bathroom. It had been a tiring day for her as well, and since it was a hot summer day, she felt uncomfortably sticky and needed a shower.

After carefully locking the door, the stood behind it for a while, worried that Kitas might barge in again like last time. Though she thought he might not do it again, she had indeed witnessed how ruthless he could be back at the pool party. Despite her cries, he did not care about ber feelings and forced himself on

her

She stood at the door for a long while waiting When it sounded like Elias was not moving around, she felt relieved and began removing her clothes. Then, she stood under the shower, letting the warm water hat her body

Outside the bathroom, Elias lay in bed after hanging up the phone, listening to the sound of running water from the bathroom, and began imagining the scene of the woman’s body under the shower Her curvy figure and snowy-white skin.

Then, he could not help but be reminded of the night from the pool party Four years ago, he could not remember when he dept with Amanda or how she got pregnant with that child. However, he remembered how her reluctance transformed into enjoyment while lying under him. This time, he knew who he had slept with and remembered every detail of it.

A smile smeared across his lips, drowning in utter reminiscence..

Suddenly, the bathroom door opened.

Amanda came out wearing a bathrobe wrapped tightly around her while staring vigilantly at Elias on the bed It was like she was entering dangerous territory.

Her gaze annoyed him. What’s the meaning of this? Does she think I’m a pervert or something?

Td suggest you stop looking at me like I’m a pervert. I don’t like that.”

She was taken aback and stammered, ‘I I’m not. You’re being oversensitive.”

“Isn’t it because I slept with you last time? Is sleeping with your ex-husband something difficult to accept?*

Is that something a sane human would say? Amanda did not want to argue with the scmbag because he was unreasonable. However, she needed his help, so she could only endure it. Just go to sleep. I’ll

call you if a call comes in.” She wanted to coax him to sleep like how she would with Aiden. This man was simply

annoying

I can’t sleep. Elias replied.

about to ask why, the woman next door began moaning again. It was growing louder with

softly, “Is it that good? We can still hear her through the loud TV…”

that, Elias scoffed and teased her. “You screamed even louder than her last time. Was it that good?”

Amanda’s eyes widened as her face instantly turned pink. Does this sc*mbag have to be so direct? With an angry expression, she gnashed her teeth, demanding. “Elias! Shut up now!”

Once she finished speaking, they heard screams coming from the room next door again. It was so

aying that she felt her head was alonut to exploate

While looking at her angry expression, Elias smiled even brighter. He then lay on the bed and closed his eyes, speaking slowly. “Don’t forget what you promised me I’m going to bed Remember to wake me up it

there’s a call

Afterward, he fell asleep instantly again.

Amanda looked at the sleeping man, whose handsome face displayed his vivid exhaustion She kept quiet and tucked the man in the bed before sitting quietly on the couch and staring at the phone, afraid she might miss a call.

At the same time, Dick brought the child and found a hotel for the night, and Grace’s call arrived as promised. Hello, Miss Murphy. Yes, we’re here in a city called Folkshield and heading toward a rural area. You must know that it’s hard to drive at night, right? But I’ll get rid of him before sunrise, so don’t worry” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

She ordered from her end, “Remember. You must leave him in the poorest and most secluded village, where no one would think to look.”
