Chapter 839 It's Been A While

Ashley instinctively turned around.

Elias caught up to her and pulled her into his arms, his eyes unusually bright. "I called you honey', and you responded!"

Ashley couldn't understand why he had followed her. "Aren't you embarrassed? We're in the middle of the street. Let go of me."

"Why would I feel embarrassed hugging my wife?" Elias said as he bent down to kiss her.

Ashley instinctively pulled away.

Elias was aware of her own psychological barriers and didn't force her. Instead, he gently pecked on her lips.

Ashley held her breath. Eventually, she relented.

"I have my reasons for meeting Beathan. Stop overthinking it," she reassured Elias.

Elias hadn't realized that he was so easy to appease. He instantly felt satisfied upon hearing her words.

Then, he pulled out a listening device from his pocket and tucked it under her shirt collar. "I need to hear your conversations. If anything happens, I can come in and get you out." "He's under police surveillance right now. He wouldn't dare try anything," Ashley said. "You never know. It's not like he never thought about taking you by force," Elias said. Ashley didn't care much and allowed Elias to set up the device.
