Chapter 382

"How did you know I was here?" Miranda asked, raising an eyebrow.

Elian smirked, "Finding you was a piece of cake, wasn't it, wifey?"

Miranda had grown immune to Elian's casual use of "darling or wifey" at this point.

It seemed like she heard it so often that she couldn't even be bothered to roll her eyes anymore. Elian seemed to know exactly how to handle her.

There was something almost mischievously charming about the way he signaled her over.
