Chapter 373: Being Domestic

Elijah's movements were taut and precise as he headed to the door. Looking through the peephole, he discovered that nobody was there, however, he hadn't mistaken the bell that rang moments ago. So his finger curled around the trigger, not really pulling, but there, just in case.

And then, in one swift motion, he unlocked the door, kicking it far open and waiting for his opponent to strike first, but all he saw was someone standing up immediately and his gun was already aimed at his, no, her... head?

"Adele?" His eyes expressed shock and then, he lowered his weapon, exhaling loudly through his nose. He had been seconds away from blasting her head off.

"Geez, that was scary," Adele pointed out his unexpected "welcome". She stared at him suspiciously, wondering why he was all tensed up and Elijah upon sensing that, offered an explanation immediately.
