Chapter 63 Spending the Night with Him.

It was the afternoon when Elias and Amanda arrived in Calcheth. He had someone start a

detailed search according to the coordinates from the location tracker. Meanwhile, she

hoped to join the search party but could only stay with him and wait.

After a few hours of looking, it was almost dark, and they finally found the hotel Dick was

at this morning. all thanks to the phone he had left there.

Suddenly, Elias’ phone began vibrating, and Amanda immediately sat upright while

looking at the phone, hoping they had found her son. He glanced at her with his cold eyes

and answered the call. “Speak.”

“Mr. Winters, we found something, but it’s just a phone. The kidnapper is quite sly and

seems to have found out we were tracking his location, so he deliberately left his phone in

the hotel. According to all the hotel’s security footage, that car has left toward the

highway. So, they might be in another city by now. He’s just toying with us.”

“Let’s move.

“Yes, sir!

After he hung up, Amanda looked at him expectantly. “What happened? Did they find

him?”

“They did.”

She immediately felt relieved and smiled but did not expect the man to dampen her spirits

the next second. “They found a phone, and that car is probably headed to another city. We

have to move now.”

Her smile froze as she almost broke down uncontrollably. “What is that kidnapper trying to

do? He didn’t call to ask for a ransom or even try to contact us. Instead, he brings Aiden

everywhere. What is the meaning of this?”

She could not wrap her head around what the kidnapper was thinking. Don’t kidnappers

abduct people for ransom? But this kidnapper is bringing Aiden everywhere and says he

will contact me in three days. What is he up to?

Elias narrowed his eyes. “Maybe this isn’t about the ransom.”

“Are you saying…“ Amanda seemed to have realized something, but she was unsure if

they were thinking about the same thing.

Then, he explained, “How many cases have you and Simon done, and how many people

have you offended? Maybe it’s someone out to get back at you. All the signs the

kidnapper is showing don’t seem like he’s out for money.”

What he said was true, and it shocked Amanda so much that she turned ashen. She had

accepted countless cases throughout these years and offended many rich and powerful

people. There were even some that vowed to kill her.

It was even so for Simon because he had sent many convicts to jail, and if those people

thought Aiden was Simon’s son, it was reasonable for them to want to kidnap him.

The more she thought about that, the more she became terrified and began following

Elias’ idea, thinking of possible suspects who would want revenge against her. Little did

they know that the person who

kidnapped Aiden was the seemingly weak Grace.

“Come on. It’s getting late” Elias looked at his watch and did not finish his dinner before

grabbing his coat, ready to leave.

Amanda followed suit, feeling somewhat sorry for him. He had not slept since last night

and was constantly worried, ordering the bodyguards to search for Aiden Though he said

he would sleep on the way here, he did not catch a wink and merely closed his eyes.

Once they got inside the car, he seemed tired and massaged his temples, but his eyes

were still focused on the laptop on his lap as he tapped on the keyboard.

Amanda sat beside him and fastened her seatbelt. There were several times when she

wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, she could not help but ask, “Are you

tired? Why don’t you take a nap if you are? You haven’t slept since last night.”

“I’m fine. It’s nothing.” Elias’ eyes remained focused on the moving target on his screen.

He had already tracked down the car’s movements,

“Okay…”

Maybe it was because she took the fever medicine last night and had a night’s sleep that

caused her to stay energized. However, he had not caught a wink. Could his body stand it

if this persisted?

Suddenly, she heard the sound of even breathing beside her and looked over. She saw

Elias’ eyes were closed while leaning against the chair, seeming to have fallen asleep

immediately, exhausted. Like father. like son, that was something he had in common with

Aiden. The kid could also fall asleep immediately, which she was thankful for because it

saved her the time and effort to coax him to bed.

The car shook slightly, and Elias’ head slowly fell onto her frail shoulder. She lowered her

head to glance. at his handsome face inches from his and noticed his beautiful nose and

sexy lips.

From her angle, she noticed Aiden looked like a miniaturized Elias and was growing to

become more similar to him. That realization struck a faint smile on her.

She then used her head to steady Elias’ head on her shoulder so he could sleep more

comfortably. Then, she turned to look outside the window, praying and hoping the

universe would protect Aiden from harm. Also, she wished she would be able to see her

baby soon.

Three hours later, they finally arrived at the city where the car was.

The vibration from the phone woke Elias up. When his eyes shot open, he saw a snowy-

white neck before him and smelled the familiar sweet scent belonging to Amanda. He sat

up straight and answered the call. “Speak.”

The bodyguard who called told him something, and she heard him mention a few areas in

the city before letting the bodyguards continue their detailed search. Then, he hung up.

As he had a headache after waking up, he rubbed his temples, asking. “Why didn’t you

wake me up?”

“You were exhausted, so I didn’t want to.”

Spending the Night with Him

“Let’s wait at the hotel Elias glanced at the driver in front.

The driver replied. Okay, Mr. Winters”

Amanda seemed confused. “We’re going to a hotel?”

“It’s getting late, and they need time to search. They might be able to find him before

dawn, so let’s wait at the hotel’

“Oh…” He was right. It was almost 9.00PM, and a detailed search was tedious, so the

driver drove them to a national chain hotel under Winters Enterprise.

When they arrived at the hotel, the receptionist told them. I’m sorry, but there aren’t any

double rooms left. There is a VIP suite, though.”

Since Winters Enterprise was popular in every industry they were involved in, it was not

surprising that their hotels were fully booked as well.

Then, we’ll have that. Elias spoke, but Amanda muttered something, feeling quite uneasy

because she was slightly scared to stay in the same room as that man.

He had forcefully slept with her at the pool party that night… but there was no other

option because that was the only room left.

When she and Elias arrived at the VIP suite via the elevator and entered the room, they

froze after hearing a woman’s affectionate groan coming from next door. The atmosphere

between them instantly became more awkward.

The woman’s moans rose and fell, seeming to be enjoying herself….

Amanda looked at the man beside her and noticed his helplessness as well. How… was

she going to spend the long night with him?
