Raina was too lazy to turn on the light, so she stumbled over and collapsed onto the large bed.
Then the next second, she jumped up: "What is that!"
As her voice fell, she saw a blurred figure sitting up in the bed.
Raina became more cautious: "Who! Who are you!"
The next second the switch was flipped, and the room was suddenly bright.
Raina could clearly see the person who had been sleeping in her bed.
The man wore a black robe, the thin silky fabric clinging to his body and accentuating its graceful contours and curves. The collar of the robe was slightly open, revealing a delicate collarbone and a honey-colored chest.
Above was a stunningly handsome face, his hair slightly disheveled, no longer retaining the usual stern coldness, almost vibrant and alluring.
Elias Hawthorne looked at Raina with an extremely calm expression and said in a gentle tone: "You’re back."
The man’s tone was too normal, too calm, just like the most ordinary couple in the world.
Raina instinctively nodded: "Hmm, I’m back."
Just after speaking, Raina felt something was off. She reacted, shockingly saying: "Why are you in my room? Didn’t you leave?" Read complete version only at NoveI-Fire.ɴet
After shouting, Raina suddenly realized, gritting her teeth: "Pip Finch! How dare you deceive me! Watch me not beat him to death!"
Just as she turned around, her wrist was caught.
Raina struggled but couldn’t break free, her face turned cold: "Elias Hawthorne, are you going to stop me?"
"Of course not." Elias’s big hand enveloped Raina’s small hand, his voice gentle: "I don’t want your hand to hurt, I’ll help you beat him tomorrow."
Raina couldn’t help but snort: "If I’m not mistaken, Pip Finch tricked me because of you."
"I promised to let Dante accompany him in fights."
Dante is one of the rare experts in The Umbral Zone, it’s needless to say the benefits Pip Finch gets from regularly facing such a master.
For Pip Finch, who loves brawling, nothing could make him happier.
However, Raina was even more annoyed, angrily saying: "So ungrateful, he sold me out just to have a few fights."
Raina’s angry roar turned soft towards the end.
Elias suddenly leaned over, his deep, dark eyes surrounded by boundless tenderness, like seawater, making one uncontrollably drown: "Raina, I finally found you."
As his words fell, he suddenly held her tightly, his warm breath spraying on the top of her head, his voice gentle and full of emotion: "I’ve been thinking about you these days, longing for..."
Raina couldn’t help but be stunned, and then couldn’t resist cursing Elias Hawthorne in her heart for being cunning.
Wasn’t he too cunning?
He actually used the beauty trap on her.
What’s worse, at this moment, she was almost defenseless.
At this moment, at this second, Raina could no longer deceive herself.
In fact, she did care before.
When she was kidnapped by The Crimson Blade Hall and sensed strong hostility from the people with Elias, the feelings at that moment were indescribable.
However, she kept telling herself it was nothing, betrayal and abandonment during interests are expected.
She convinced herself and planned to use this to escape.
Nevertheless, no matter how she convinced herself, her heart was ultimately unwilling.
She was unwilling to have no one willing to do anything for her.
Even Claire North had a Beau Shelby willing to do everything for her.
But she forcibly ignored this unwillingness.
Until she received a call from the third brother, knowing Elias Hawthorne disappeared searching for her.
At that moment, she was worried about Elias Hawthorne’s safety, yet felt basely happy, the unwillingness lingering in her heart vanished.
