Chapter 420 - 420: Already Suspected Them

The next morning, Elle immediately headed straight to Erick's house. It had only been one night that they didn't see each other but Elle missed him already. Erick felt the same way. Since they got together once again, he wanted to be with Elle all the time.

When Erick opened the door, Elle immediately threw herself at Erick, hugging him tightly.

"I missed you so much, hubby." She mumbled in his ear.

After saying that, Elle gave him a peck on his right cheek. But Erick was not yet satisfied with that kind of morning greetings from Elle. So Erick held her face, tilting her chin upward to give her a hungry and passionate morning greeting kiss.

They kissed each other until they were both out of breath. "Good morning, wifey. I miss you so much." Erick pulled her once again closer to his body, engulfing her with his warm embrace.

"Are you leaving for work now?" Elle asked him, eyeing Erick who was already wearing his detective's uniform.

Erick glanced at her with a radiant smile on his face. "Nope, I still have one hour to spend my time with you, Wifey. Come, did you eat breakfast already?" 

"Yes, I had my fill before I left Father's place," Elle replied.

"Father?" Erick asked her with a slight frown on his face.

Elle nodded and explained, "My foster father, the one who saved me, my master. did you forget?"

"Yeah, I remember. How's your reunion with him and Charles?" Erick asked her expectantly.

"It was great. I had fun. I'm so happy to see them once again."

Erick bobbed his head, raising his hand to caress Elle's face. "I know they were overjoyed the moment they saw you alive."

"Erick, let's go inside. I have something to tell you."

With that, the husband and wife entered the house while holding each other's hands. Erick's parents just went to the market to buy some things needed in the house. So Elle and Erick were the only people at home as of this moment.

They sat down on the sofa in the living room. Erick made her sit on his lap while he was hugging her from behind. Elle held his arms that were wrapping her body as she leaned on his strong hard chest.

"What do you want to tell me?" Erick asked her, placing his chin on the top of her right shoulder while smelling her sweet scent.

"I already knew the identity of the new Catseye." Elle directly said, not beating around the bush.

"Hmm." Erick could only make that sound as he continued nuzzling his nose on the crook of her neck. He didn't interrupt her.

"The two Catseye are the two people closest to me. Charles and my foster father."

Erick was not surprised to hear that. He already suspected them at the beginning of the case.

"Why are you not talking?" Elle asked, pinching his arm.

Erick didn't flinch. He just let out a soft chuckle. "I suspected them already. Go on. I think you still have more to say to me."

Elle just chewed her lower lip. Erick was right, she still had a lot to say.

"The hostage-taking incident... that Catseye was Charles. I already knew so I helped him escape. I'm sorry for interfering with your job. I was the one who suggested to use me as his human shield because I know that snipers were scattered around the area."

"Aah," Elle grunted as Erick suddenly bit her neck. As always, this was her punishment from him.

"Bad girl needs to be punished... Tonight." Erick said to her meaningfully.

"You punished me already on the same night, didn't you?"

"This one is new. The last punishment was all about breaking your promise of waiting for me."

Elle could only sigh deeply. "What are you going to do now? Don't worry, this time I won't interfere with your work if ever you will chase after them. Edson Tyler is still alive but Father won't release him in the meantime."

"Okay, I understand. I already have a plan. I will use this Catseye's case to reveal what happened to your family 18 years ago. Instead of going after them, my priority now is to unfold the truth and connect the dots. Revealing the crime of Edson Tyler, Alfonso Ramirez as well as the other members of the Los Molasses Gang will be the main focus of this case now. The reason why Catseye is targeting them is because of the brutal crime of massacring your family."

"But... after that, I till have to chase after Charles and your Foster Father because of the crime they committed. I'm sorry, wifey."

Elle squeezed Erick's arm. "I understand. You don't have to apologize. How about me? What are you going to do with me?"

"I will imprison you, forever. And... you will need to serve me. Give me a ton of lovely and handsome children... little Elle and Erick's junior." Erick said matter-of-factly.

Elle couldn't help but giggle because of Erick's last remarks. He was shameless as ever. She didn't know if he was joking or not. But he sounded very serious while saying that.

They were still in the middle of their conversation when suddenly they heard the ringing of the doorbell. Someone came to visit them. Because if the people outside were Erick's parents then they didn't need to ring the doorbell since they had the spare key to Erick's house.

Elle got off his lap while Erick stood up to welcome the person outside. He was a little bit surprised when he saw that the person was none other than but Mr. Carter. He just visited them yesterday so he didn't expect that he would also come today.

"Hello, young man! Good morning!" Mr. Carter greeted him with enthusiasm.

"Mr. Carter, good morning! I didn't expect to see you today but I'm glad you drop by once again. Please come in."

"Yeah, I came here because I have something to give you."
