Chapter 213: Don't Laugh

Adeline sat by the window of the bathroom, as she watched Elias fill the large bathtub in her bedroom. She didn't need to know why they were using this bathroom, instead of his. She knew his violent temper led to broken furniture. But she wanted to hear it from his own mouth.

"What happened to your room?" Adeline asked whilst Elias touched the water to check the temper.

"I don't know," Elias responded with a shrug. "Maybe a tornado went through it."

Adeline stared at him with a blank expression. He lifted his head and smirked. Seeing her irritation, he winked.

"Elias, that temper of yours—"

"Only comes out when I fear losing you, darling."

Adeline's lips curled downwards. She peered at him through her lashes, and he was watching her the entire time. His hands were preoccupied with unscrewing the bath bottles.

"That is not a good thing," she said.

"Then don't leave me. Simple as that," he responded.
