Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 304

Later, Elspeth and Gilbert smiled as their eyes met after successfully rendezvousing outside of Joneson Residence.

“You don’t have to dig yourself a hole to get out, do you?” Elspeth was out of breath from all the laughing as she removed a bunch of weed from Gilbert’s head.

“Do you think I’d have done so if it weren’t for the people looking for me from above? How would I dare climb over the walls?” Gilbert grumbled, beyond livid.

The two had just arrived at their vehicle when a thought struck Elspeth. “By the way, how did you know she didn’t live there alone?”

Instead of answering her immediately, Gilbert got into the car, started the engine, and smiled. “Now, this is what you don’t know. Didn’t you notice how the young woman’s clothes fit her perfectly? They were spotless too. She obviously has someone looking after her.”

“I’m surprised. For a big guy, you’re pretty detailed.”

Gilbert rolled his eyes in response. “What, do you think everyone’s slapdash like you? When do you suppose we’ll be able to find your mom like that?!”

“Shut it!” Elspeth glared at him, displeased with his words.

Gilbert might have said so, but he actually approved of Elspeth deep down.

She was the best hacker in the world, after all. There wouldn’t be anyone else more meticulous than her.

Then again, watching the young woman flip out was entertaining.

While the man let his thoughts wander, his companion had long fallen silent. He looked over to the front passenger seat and found that Elspeth had drifted to sleep while leaning against the window.

As he listened to her even breathing, impulse overtook his mind, and he freed one hand to caress her hair.

“How about putting your trust in me, Elspeth? I’ll protect you.” He chuckled under his breath and swallowed his love into his belly.
