A—fter teasing her for a while, the man finally entered the bathroom satisfied. Elizabeth Jones's tightened breath finally relaxed.
She sneakily walked to Joshua Wayne's two bedside tables, opened the drawer and searched, but he didn't put the phones inside. She frowned, and tried to imagine where Joshua Wayne could possibly hide.
Would it be in his cloakroom? Elizabeth Jones slipped into the cloakroom, opened quite a few drawers to take a look, but did not find her phone.
"No way, did he throw it away?" Elizabeth Jones looked confused.
Just as she was lost in her thoughts, a faint voice came from behind her. "What are you looking for?"
Elizabeth Jones jumped in shock and turned around. She saw that the man was wearing only a white bath towel and her short hair was still dripping water.
"No "It's nothing!" Elizabeth Jones nervously clenched her fists, her pair of beautiful eyes wildly flashing.
Joshua Wayne took a towel and wiped the water droplets that had landed on his handsome face. His dangerous black eyes narrowed: "Are you looking for your phones?"
Elizabeth Jones's heart was stuck. No way, is this man a god? He can even guess out what I am thinking. "Yes, can you return them to me now?" Since he knew it, Elizabeth Jones could only admit it.
Joshua Wayne walked step by step until he was in front of her. It was unknown whether it was because his handsome face was stained with water droplets, causing people to feel cold.
"Do you have news of your aunt?" A flash of light passed through Joshua Wayne's eyes, and he stared at her even more closely.
Elizabeth Jones bit her lower lip and shook her head: "No, I just wanted to see if she would send me any messages!"
Hearing her words, Joshua Wayne turned around and walked towards his study.
Elizabeth Jones pressed down on her chest with one deep breath. She hesitated for a second, but still followed him quickly.
Inside Joshua Wayne's study, there was a safe deposit box. The man stood in front of it, and quickly typed in a string of codes. The door of the safe was opened, and Joshua Wayne took out two mobile phones and placed it on the table: "Take a look!"
"Can I really look?" Elizabeth Jones was in disbelieves, she had actually given it back to her so easily.
"As long as you promise, you won't lie to me anymore. You will not keep any secret between us forever." The man's voice was very soft, giving off a feeling of sincere trust.
Elizabeth Jones was startled, she held the phones in her hand, then suddenly put it down: "Forget it, the phone should be in your custody, only then will you be at ease!"
"Weren't you looking for them?" Seeing her pick them up and put them down, Joshua Wayne's beautiful eyes darkened.
Elizabeth Jones looked into his eyes gently: I originally wanted to look for him, but now I don't!
"If you have your aunt's whereabouts, tell me back, right?" Joshua Wayne's voice was low and hoarse, making people unable to bear to go against him.
Elizabeth Jones's heart was thumping nonstop.
She had just seen her aunt outside the residential complex. Should she tell him?
But what if she was mistaken?
Yes, I must be dizzy. That can't be my aunt's. She knows that it is very dangerous at home, so it's impossible for her to come back.
"I don't know where she is right now. I also want to find her as soon as possible." Elizabeth Jones sighed softly. Thinking about how her aunt had been missing for so long, she felt uneasy.
Joshua Wayne walked in front of her, and lightly lifted her fair chin as he said this. "You've gotten skinnier recently!"
