Chapter 1033 Catch Her (2)

Elliot's eyes narrowed, a hint of a smile playing at the corners of his lips. He pretended not to notice her and took a sip from the glass in front of him.

"I won't pursue this any further since it's your first offense," he said, his deep gaze fixed on the woman standing next to him.

"Don't you want a drink? Pour yourself one," he added.

Rose hesitated for a moment before declining. "No thanks, I don't drink."

Elliot's sharp eyes bore into her as he spoke slowly. "It's not that you can't drink, it's that every time you do, your whole body breaks out in hives."

Rose was taken aback by his words and stood there stunned. He was right - every time she drank she would break out in hives all over her body but never noticed because she was always too drunk.

In the past Elliot had helped soothe her discomfort with medicine whenever it happened... Rose tried to push those memories aside and refocused on Elliot's penetrating gaze.

Feeling flustered, Rose quickly changed the subject and made an excuse to leave so she could go help their child take a shower before bed. As she left Elliot behind at the table lost in thought staring at his glass with deep contemplation...

At midnight, Rose quietly slipped into Elliot's bedroom, hoping he was sound asleep after taking some sleeping pills earlier that night.

She stood still listening for any sounds coming from inside until finally hearing only steady breathing coming from within...

Relieved that Elliot had fallen asleep already thanks to her pills working well enough as planned, Rose confidently approached his bed with fingerprint tape ready for sampling.

But just as she began collecting his fingerprints, Elliot rolled over towards where Rose knelt beside him...

His arm which had been hanging off the side of bed now pulled back up against himself making it impossible for Rose to get around without waking him up or getting caught!

Frustrated but determined nonetheless, Rose climbed onto Elliot's bed carefully inching closer towards him trying not disturb or wake up this man who seemed so peaceful while sleeping...

Elliot's expression remained tranquil, and the constant furrow in his brow finally relaxed in his slumber.

Rose was close enough to him to hear his breath. She glanced at his sleeping face just for a moment before quickly averting her gaze.

As she was about to apply the tape to the man's thumb, Elliot, who had been sleeping soundly, suddenly rolled over and pressed the woman beside him under him!

He squinted slightly and sniffed the familiar scent on the woman beneath him, his lips unconsciously curling upwards.

He hadn't held her like this for too long...

Rose was suddenly embraced by the man, and her pretty face was instantly filled with a look of astonishment.

His warm breath brushed against her ear, causing her ears to turn crimson and her cheeks to blush.

She reached out and gently pushed the man on top of her, but he didn't budge.
