Chapter 297

Elysia explained, “Arcanum House is too far away. We found a new place to stay. We’re moving in tomorrow.”

Phoebe asked, “Is it in Royal Bay?”

Phoebe nodded. She didn’t care where Royal Bay was as long as she could stay with Elysia.

Back in their little house, Elysia lay on the bed. Every time she closed her eyes, Zane’s handsome, bewitching face and his deep, magnetic voice popped into her mind.

In the courtyard, Elysia paced back and forth alone. The moonlight stretched her shadow long and thin, making her feel lonely. She didn’t know how much time passed before her racing heart finally calmed down.

Meanwhile, in Royal Bay, Zane was feeling restless and hot. After getting up and taking a cold shower, he finally felt better.

He thought, ‘Elysia is really something. Doesn’t she know I have zero resistance to her? If I hadn’t kept that fire in check, who knows what would’ve happened?‘
