Elliot's tone was casual, but he was speaking the truth.
Nathaniel shifted the topic, asking, "What kind of business is Nana attending? Is she in Deltsburg?"
Elliot instantly retorted, "She's my wife. That's none of your concern, is it?"
Nathaniel chuckled. "Of course. I was just curious. Don't read too much into it."
Elliot gave Nathaniel a warning look as he adjusted his uniform sleeve. Then, he left without saying more.
Nathaniel hugged Callum closer and headed back to the car.
As he closed the car door, one thing became clear to him: Sheena had a secret.
However, he was unsure if Elliot was aware of it.

After several hours on the plane, Tommy arrived at Vraeyce's capital airport, feeling drowsy.
This place was economically underdeveloped, with most of its people living in poverty and lacking education.
Moreover, it was a remote country with no valuable natural resources like minerals or diamonds. Hence, Vraeyce resembled the rural areas of Froania with its simple, traditional houses.
Since the country had little commercial value, international business tycoons avoided investing here, and its tourism industry was nearly nonexistent.
The wealthier locals had already moved abroad, leaving the country sparsely populated.
Tommy first booked a room at a local guesthouse. Then, through various contacts, he managed to reach the leader of a gang.
"This morning, a woman named Sheena Lawson flew in from Froania. Her phone is off, and I can't reach her. I need you to find her location," Tommy said, placing a stack of money on the table.
It was 30,000 dollars in cash.
In Vraeyce, that was a substantial amount.
The man took the money with a knowing smile, responding in clumsy, broken English, "Money's good, no problem."

The novel is too abusive it spoils the joy of reading it. I hate the punishment part between sheena and Eliot....
