章 593: Her, Her Baby, And Her Career

There was nothing but tense silence between Adele and Aziz as they drove back home. She was the one behind the heels while Aziz sat beside her on the front seat and hadn't said a word since they stepped out of the base. 

Elijah stared at her and though he had the words waiting to be said at the tip of his tongue, a look at Adele's clenched jaw made him reconsider. She had her gaze fixed on the road and refused to look at him. Adele was mad at him, Elijah didn't need a prophet to explain that to him. He failed her today and it wasn't intentional. 

However, he was mad at both himself and Marcel. Elijah wasn't mad because Marcel hit him, rather it was because he hurt Adele. Seeing Adele in pain at that time made something snap in him and he had been close to losing everything, exposing his identity as Elijah if it meant he plowed Marcel's pretty boy face with punches.
