Elias’ Crimes and Punishments of Romance

Chapter 94 The Listening Device

Elias took a few steps forward and stopped before her. “I wasn’t trying to hide the sound of my footsteps when I walked here. It’s just that you’re preoccupied with your thoughts.”

His honesty left her speechless as she indeed wasn’t paying attention to her surroundings earlier.

“What are you doing here?” Elias repeated.
