Chapter 190 - Pillow Talk (1/2)

Elle was lying on her bed, examining the ring on her ring finger. Her lips held a faint smile and her eyes twinkled with joy as she remembered what transpired this afternoon.

Erick's sudden marriage proposal utterly astounded her to the point she almost freaked out. But seeing him felt so horrible, she found her courage to say yes and accept his proposal.

She couldn't stand to see his hurt expression so she took a risk once again by making this decision. She was glad she did that as she saw the overwhelming happiness in the face of her beloved man.

After they ran away from the Cafe, Erick brought her immediately to a jewelry shop and he bought a ring for her. She wondered what happened to him that caused him to act like this.

Erick was acting so weird that day. Everything was off about him but she decided not to ask him for the moment. She would prefer to talk to him at their home tonight.

After buying the ring, he dropped her back to the Cafe. Before leaving, he hugged and kissed her again. He was very reluctant to leave. However, in the end, he had no choice but to go back to their headquarters.

The smile on her face faded and her expression became troubled when she recalled her conversation with Phantom and Charles at the Cafe. Before she left the Cafe, they talked about Erick's marriage proposal.

{ ”Are you sure about this? You looked so scared just a while ago after hearing his proposal.” Charles asked her. He sounded worried about her. }

{ ”I admit that I was a little bit hesitant at that moment but I already made a decision. I will not change my mind about this.” Elle truthfully answered him. }

{ ”I support you no matter what decision you will make. I will not object to your marriage. All I care about is your safety and happiness.” Phantom softly said to her. }

{ Charles sighed deeply ”What are you going to do with your identity? What name will you use to register your marriage with him? Besides, there are requirements you need to comply with. Remember, you are pretending to have amnesia.” }

{ Elle forgot to consider those things and now Charles just reminded her. Elle felt like she was having a headache now. }

{ Elle massaged her throbbing temples. ”Why I didn't think about it. I can't use my real name. So it leaves me no choice but to use the identity given to me by Master Phantom. Besides, I already told him my name as Elle Claveria before.” }

{ Phantom let out a soft chuckle. ”You don't have to worry about that. Even if he will look into your identity as Elle Claveria, there will be no problem. Elle Claveria has no link with Catseye.” he reassured them. }

{ ”Will you still pretend to have amnesia?” Charles asked her again. }

{ ”Yes, I have to. I can't tell him that I didn't lose my memories. I don't want him to ask me about Skull Gang's motive for hunting me. Or else he might see through my lies once he investigates further my connection with them. I am afraid he will be able to connect the dots and find out that I am Catseye.” }

Knock! Knock!

Elle was pulled out in her deep thoughts when she heard the knock outside her door.

”Come in,” she said, allowing Erick to enter.

Erick opened the door and entered her room. He was carrying a folder in his right hand. He paused for a moment when he met her gaze. There were some emotions hidden in his eyes as he stared at her.

'I can't confront her about the letter. This is not the right time. I am afraid that she might run away from me once again if she finds out that I already knew the truth. She has no amnesia.'

He was able to conceal his worries as he greeted her with a bright smile.

”Care if I join you?” Erick asked her as he pointed the bed. He walked towards her as he put down the folder on her bedside table.

Elle smiled at him and shook her head. ”Nope, come here, lie beside me.”

Erick gladly accepted her offer as he climbed on her bed to join her. He used his arm as Elle's pillow as he cuddled her.

”Can I sleep here tonight?” Erick asked her again.

”Sure, why not. This is our first time sleeping together here in my room.” Elle giggled from that thought.

”Yeah. I like it here. I can smell your fragrance all over your room.” he murmured.

Erick's body grew warm from the inside out as he nuzzled her neck, preparing to bite her. Sensing his motive, Elle tilted her head to give him more access.

His breath was hot against her skin sending a shiver on her spine. He started to plant feather-like kisses on her skin, giving her small and gentle bites as his hot mouth traced her sensitive parts.

Then, he found her lips with his own, kissing her harder, deeper, with a fervent need. Elle couldn't stop herself from brushing her fingers across his chest as she drowned herself at the moment.

'If she didn't lose her memory then it is true that I am her first kiss. She said before that I am the one who stole her first kiss.' Erick was rejoicing from that thought.

”I'll never have enough of you.” he murmured.

He deepened the kiss, nibbling at her full lower lip. Elle met his aggression with her own, tasting and savoring him. Seconds later, they broke the kiss, gasping for breath.
