章節 574: His Life Was In Her Hand

"Hey, are you okay?" Elijah asked Adele who had been oddly quiet since their ride to Marcel's place. 

But there was still no response from her and it wasn't until he touched her arm that she roused from her reverie, startled. 

"What?!" Adele was flustered, her hands already on the gun at her side thinking they were ambushed or something. However, when she saw the concerned look on his face, she managed to calm down. 

She wiped her face with her palm, intentionally ignoring the intense look Aziz was giving her. Her attention was divided and he was definitely going to question that.

"A penny for your thoughts?"

Just as she thought.

"No, it's nothing. I'm fine. It's just that I think I'm overworking myself these days." She lied, hoping that was enough to divert his attention.

Well, what else was she going to tell him anyway?

Hello, Aziz, I have something to tell you, and the truth is that I'm carrying your baby. 

Is that it?
