The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 64 A Strange Atmosphere

“I’ll take a shower. You can rest for a while.” Elias took off his coat, making his way toward the bathroom, not wanting to listen to that woman’s heinous howling.

Amanda nodded and sat on the bed somewhat helplessly. Then, she took out her phone, which had been switched off for a full day. She wanted to turn it on and see if the kidnapper had contacted her but felt disappointed after seeing no calls from them.

However, there were dozens of missed calls and numerous text messages from Simon.

Biting her lip, she knew he was worried about her, but she could not help but feel angry when she remembered how he chose to call the cops.

Suddenly, her phone began to ring. It was a call from Simon, but it was too late for her to turn off her phone. It continued to ring as though it would not stop until she picked up the call.

After hesitating. Amanda answered the call and placed it to her ear. Before she could say anything, she heard Simon’s anxious voice yelling, “Amanda! Where have you been? Why did you run away like that? Is it because I called the cops? My rationality told me we should call the cops because that’s the quickest way to find Aiden. His voice sounded tired and raspy as if he had not slept all night.

“Simon, I’m fine. We might be able to find Aiden soon, so don’t worry.”

“Amanda, where are you? Please come back. I’m worried something might happen to you…”

Since she could not reveal too much to Simon, she waited until he finished and hung up before deciding to keep her phone turned off. At that moment, the bathroom door opened, and Elias came out with a white towel around his hips. His wet hair was stuck to his forehead as he looked at her sitting on the bed.

“Your turn.”

Amanda was silent, thinking, why do I feel like the atmosphere’s a little strange?

Now that Elias had finished his shower and asked her to take hers, what would happen next? Would the appropriate progress not be that they sleep together?
