Adrian nodded in understanding before he surprised her with his words, "While I was coming back home, I noticed a car following behind me."

Erika's heart skipped a beat at the thought that her family had started looking for her.

"But unfortunately for them, they couldn't keep up with my speed and I lost them," he added, shattering all of Erika's hopes. "They thought they could follow me and get to know where I kept you. Hmm, they probably wanted to fulfill Ethan's last wish before he died, which was to snatch you away from me."

He raised his hand and placed it on Erika's cheeks. The latter controlled herself to not beat him to a pulp at that moment.
