Elias’ Crimes and Punishments of Romance

Chapter 94 The Listening Device

Before Yacob could get out of the car to open the door for Elias, the latter already pushed the door open and walked toward the forest.

What is Amanda doing here? It’s getting dark.

Elias walked into the forest with questions in his mind. He began to look around for Amanda.

“You nearly scared me to death! Don’t come up behind me without making a sound!”

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.
