The Devilish Assassin Meets The Angelic Detective - Volume 2: Their Paths Cross Again Chapter 482 482: Fears And Uncertainties

Erick didn’t work overtime today. He wanted to go home early and accompany his wife. Elle also went home early. She couldn’t focus on her work. Her mind was still absorbing everything she had discovered today about her family’s death.

Erick wanted to comfort his wife. He knew that Elle was having a hard time. Hearing the unfortunate stories about Phantom’s family, Mr. Carter’s Family, and Elle’s family, Erick couldn’t help but feel the rage inside his heart.

He felt mad and sad at the same time. He wanted to do something for them. He had sworn to himself today that he would do everything that he could just to bring justice for their family who died unjustly in the hands of the Dark Knight Organization.

When Erick reached home, Elle was already in his room, lying on the bed but her mind was occupied by something. Erick put his things down and approached Elle. He bent down and kissed her on her forehead.

“Oh, hubby, you’re here.” Elle sat up to give him a peck on his lips. But Erick grabbed the back of her head. Instead of just a smack kiss, Erick kissed Elle deeply and passionately.

After Erick broke the kiss, Elle giggled and said, “What a sneaky husband I have here.”

Erick also chuckled. Then he pinched her nose. “Wait for me, wifey. I’m just gonna change my clothes.”

After a few minutes, Erick came out of his bathroom wearing a plain white t-shirt and blue trousers. He also took a quick shower to freshen up. Then he climbed the bed, joining his wife.

“Dad and Mom are the ones cooking dinner tonight, let me cuddle you here for a while,” Erick informed Elle as he gathered her in his arms.

Elle just nodded at him in agreement. She badly needed this. His warm hug was soothing her troubled heart.

“How do you feel today?” Erick asked Elle. Erick didn’t need to elaborate. She knew what Erick was referring to.

Elle grabbed Erick’s hands which were wrapped around her body. “Honestly, I’m not feeling good. I’m thinking if I am not pregnant and I am not your wife, I will immediately infiltrate all the hideouts of the Dark Knight Organization and plant explosives in their hideout. I’m thinking of going wild and killing all of them. I don’t care anymore whether I live or not.”

Erick felt saddened when he heard that. If he was mad right now, how much more his wife? He could understand her. He knew where she was coming from that’s why she said those words.

Elle pinched her hand and said, “Hey, are you not going to say anything? Are you not going to scold me?” Elle looked up while pouting.

Erick was leaning his back on the headboard of the bed while Elle was leaning on his chest as he was hugging her from behind.

Erick let out a soft chuckle after seeing Elle pouting at him. “I don’t have to scold you. Besides, When did I scold my wife? I never did, even once.”

“I thought you don’t want me to kill?” Elle asked him as if she was a child asking for reassurance of her parents.

“Yes, I don’t. But I know you just want to vent your anger and frustration, that’s why you said those words. You will not do it. You’re my wife now and the mother of our little Lee,” Erick gently rubbed her flat stomach.

Elle smiled at him faintly. “But I’m glad that I learned the truth now behind my father’s death… the story behind my family’s death. We finally found the answer.”
Then she frowned. The worry and fear resurfacing in her dark eyes.

“Erick, be careful. I’m starting to be afraid of your safety. I don’t want you to be hurt. My Dad died because of his job. Because he was fulfilling his duty.” Elle shared her troubling thoughts with him.

“Don’t worry, Wifey. I can protect myself. How can I protect you and our children if I can’t even protect myself? Nothing bad will happen to me, so don’t be afraid and don’t stress yourself too much. Don’t think about negative thoughts. It’s not good for you and for our baby.” Erick said, consoling his wife.

“By the way, how’s father?” Erick was referring to Phantom.

Elle sighed deeply before answering him. “I think he is trying his best to calm down. I could feel that he was furious and at the same time, he was blaming himself for what happened. I wanted to comfort him but he wanted to be alone for now. I just asked Brother Yu and Brother Yan to monitor him.”

“We never know, he might also thinking of attacking the Dark Knight Organization’s hideout,” Elle could only sigh helplessly.

“Oh, like father like daughter. The two of you are thinking about the same thing.” Erick made a joke to lighten the atmosphere. Elle was also worried about Phantom.

Elle just rolled her eyes at him.

“By the way, how’s the thing going in your office?” Elle changed the topic.

Erick remembered Rose’s suspicion. “We are focusing on your father’s case and Senator Mondragon’s case. April and Bryan are still on vacation. Rose also talked to me this afternoon.”

“What did she say?” Elle asked with intrigue. She sensed the changes in Erick’s mood when he mentioned it.

“She’s suspecting Allen as the traitor among our team. She observed Allen’s strange action and behaviors lately.” Erick informed Elle.

She frowned after hearing that. Elle was not sure. But as of now, she didn’t think that Allen was the traitor.

“What do you think about it?” Elle asked him expectantly. She wanted to know Erick’s opinion and assumption regarding this matter.

Erick heaved a deep sigh. He placed his chin over her shoulder and hugged her tightly before answering her.

“I still trust my team. I think Allen is not a traitor but I could feel that he is troubled by something. I think he is hiding something from the team,” Erick shared his thoughts to Elle.

“Hmm, alright. Then why don’t you test him first? After that, you can also confront him. You are one team now. Aside from that, he is also your friend.”

“Yeah, that’s true. Thank you, wifey. Don’t worry. I will do that.”
