The person wore a black trench coat. His stature was tall and slender, his features exquisite, and his looks were stunningly handsome. The aura around him was powerful, making one feel an urge to bow down in reverence.
Raina was taken aback upon seeing him: "You... why are you here?"
"The weather is bad today, it’s raining, so I came to pick you up."
Raina instinctively glanced at the sky, wanting to say, it’s just a light drizzle, hardly noticeable as rain, isn’t it?
"Okay." Raina got into the car with Elias Hawthorne, hesitated for a moment, and couldn’t help but ask, "How did you know I was here?"
"Because I wanted to know."
Upon hearing that, Raina was instantly displeased: "You make it sound nice, but isn’t it because you’ve been investigating me."
Elias laughed softly: "Absolutely not, I just happened to learn that Jonah Rivers had some trouble recently, so I went to The Celestial Alliance. When I didn’t find you there, I guessed you might be here."
"You’re quite good at guessing." Raina snorted coldly but didn’t dwell on it further.
Thinking about what Elias said, even he had heard about Jonah Rivers’ trouble, so it seemed this matter was not that simple.
Did Jonah offend someone?
That seemed obvious; Jonah, despite appearing easygoing in her presence, was actually rebellious. It would be strange if he didn’t offend someone.
What puzzled her was who Jonah had offended, that they sent such a weakling to kill him. Wasn’t that just a joke?
"Don’t engage in such dangerous things next time." Elias suddenly opened up beside her.
Raina was momentarily stunned, rendering her speechless, thinking, how is this considered dangerous? It’s just a normal occurrence.
In The Umbral Zone, even ordinary people live on edge, not to mention members of Nightfall, who all live on the edge of danger.
She was already extremely lucky to get out unscathed.
Seeing Raina remain silent, Elias thought she was worried about Jonah, so he reached out to brush aside the hair scattered on her cheek: "If you’re concerned about Jonah’s situation, you can tell me. After all these years of him looking after you, I should repay him somewhat."
Raina was instantly displeased: "When did he look after me? It was clearly me taking care of him."
"Yes. You took care of him." Elias paused, then assertively said: "But from now on, you’re not allowed to, only I have the right to take care of you."
Raina grumbled in dissatisfaction: "Isn’t that too domineering?"
"No." Elias cupped Raina’s small face: "Raina, we are husband and wife, a relationship closer than parents, siblings, or children, understand?"
Raina was slightly taken aback, instinctively looked up, and when she gazed into his eyes, she was suddenly stunned.
She saw seriousness and an intense, lava-like passion in his deep, dark eyes.
Raina suddenly felt her heart pounding in her chest, beating furiously.
She felt something was getting out of control.
No. This content belongs to novelFirｅ.net
It was already out of control, and this made Raina a bit fearful.
At this moment, the phone suddenly rang. Raina took it out immediately—it was a call from Pip Finch.
"Orion... um... earlier, my big brother... the Lord of the Dark Tower came, and in my excitement, I blurted out. Seems like I said something I shouldn’t have... You’re not fighting now, are you?"
The latter question was asked cautiously.
Raina suddenly understood. So it was thanks to this fellow that Elias caught her red-handed today.
