Apocalypse Rebirth: Beauties Surround Me

Chapter 141: why don't you both stay

However, Grace had assumed that Katherine had already slept with Elijah. Katherine, on the other hand, hadn't expected Grace to choose the same approach as her. The two of them felt awkward for quite some time.

Finally, Grace broke the silence. "I saw you leaving this villa this morning. Why did you come over here tonight?"

Katherine's expression became even more embarrassed at Grace's question. "Last night... um... I..."

Katherine stumbled over her words, unsure of how to explain.

"What happened to you last night? Didn't you have fun? Are you missing men again?" Grace teased.

"No, that's not it. I waited all night and he never showed up!" Katherine blurted out.

Grace burst into laughter, but then quickly caught herself. "So, you and Elijah... haven't yet?"

She stared intently at Katherine's sensual figure as if trying to see through her.

Katherine nodded sheepishly.

"If you've awakened your ability, why did you still come here? Are you... really that eager for a man?"

"When I went back this morning, I happened to run into Elijah... I told him I'd be waiting for him tonight..." Katherine muttered softly.

Wait a minute! It's not like I'm the only one who came over. Why does it seem like I'm the only one here for an affair?

Seeing Grace in her skimpy nightgown, Katherine felt emboldened.

"And what about you? You came over too! Humph, it's not just me who's eager for a man!"

"Hold on!" Grace ignored Katherine's retort, her attention drawn to Katherine's murmured words just now.

"Are you saying... Elijah will come back tonight?"

"He... probably will!" Katherine replied uncertainly.

"Then... you keep waiting. I'll go back first!" Grace immediately stood up and rushed to the door.

"???" Katherine's gaze followed her, puzzled.

However, as Grace opened the door, a figure appeared at the doorway. Unable to stop, she crashed into the person's arms.

Elijah caught Grace, feeling the smoothness of her skin in his hands as he lowered his gaze to her.

The neckline of Grace's nightgown was low, offering a captivating view of her curves.

"...Elijah!" Grace exclaimed, a mix of panic and shyness, trying to pull away from his embrace.

"Where are you going, Grace?" Elijah didn't let go but instead took a step forward, closing the door behind them.

"I... I was going back!" Grace looked at the closed door, feeling Elijah's warm hand around her waist and smelling his masculine scent. Her face flushed with embarrassment.

"I'm back now. You don't need to leave. In fact, I have a gift for you..." Elijah's warm breath tickled her ear as he whispered.

It sent shivers down her spine, making her heart race.

"But... Katherine is still here..." She found an excuse for herself.

Elijah looked at Katherine, who was shy yet curious beside the bed, and chuckled softly. "Then... why don't you both stay?"

With that, Elijah lifted Grace and carried her to the bed.

"Ah!" Grace gasped softly, then was gently placed on the bed...

Olivia emerged from the bathroom, still steaming from her shower. Her skin was smooth and radiant, glistening with moisture.

She walked to the closet, selecting a fresh outfit before returning to the bed. Just as she lay down, she absentmindedly activated her ability, only to be startled.

Fiona's bedroom was empty, leaving only Fiona. Had Elijah gone back?

Muttering to herself, Olivia's curiosity peaked, and she unconsciously glanced towards the other villa nearby, just about 20 meters away, still within her ability's range.

Soon, on the second floor of the neighboring villa, she spotted a familiar figure in the shadows. It was Elijah!

But the next moment, Olivia's eyes widened, her mouth dropped in unconscious surprise, her face contorted with shock. Because Elijah wasn't alone.

Though the distance was far and she couldn't make out the details, the intimacy between the two was unmistakable. Just after expanding her perception, Olivia knew what it meant!

But more crucially, beside them, there was another human-shaped shadow. Judging by its position, it was in one of the rooms.

"What... what's going on?" Olivia felt like her head was about to explode. She had a hunch.

"No, I have to tell Daisy!" A thought flashed through Olivia's mind. "This Elijah is too much of a jerk. I can't let Daisy be kept in the dark! And I need to confirm the identities of those people!"

Olivia clenched her fists. "But how do I confirm?"

She struggled, carefully considering a clumsy method. All the sisters on the island lived in two villas. If she sensed them all, she could see who wasn't in their room, narrowing it down, even if there might be some errors.

Olivia started immediately, focusing all her senses on each room. Shadows formed by clusters of red or green light appeared in her perception.

"This is Fiona's room, someone's there! This is Hannah's room, someone's there too! This is Grace's room... hmm, no one! Next to it, Katherine's room is also empty... Jasmine Auntie's room has someone!"

Besides Daisy, the people in this villa were the ones she knew the best. She hadn't expected to find out so quickly.

But fearing that Grace and Katherine might be out for other reasons, she didn't jump to conclusions, continuing her observation.

There was no one within 50 meters.

Olivia shifted her focus to Elijah's villa. "In the basement, there are five human-shaped shadows emitting red light, those few zombie girls. In the two rooms on the first floor, someone's there, should be Lily and Sophia. On the second floor, someone's in the farthest room, not sure who. The adjacent room also has human-shaped shadows emitting red light, probably Abigail..."

Olivia had asked Daisy about Abigail, so she remembered this beautiful cosplay zombie sister distinctly.

Apart from these rooms, there were only three people and two people in the last two rooms respectively.

In the room with two people, both were sitting cross-legged, probably meditating! One of the shadows was very familiar to her, Daisy.

The other shadow should be Charlotte?

Case solved! Olivia hadn't expected those two to be Grace and Katherine.

Just then, the shadows in Elijah's room began to shift.

...

For the sake of reporting to Daisy, Olivia continued to observe the process until 2 a.m. Then she took another shower, changed clothes, and fell asleep in a daze.

She didn't sleep well that night. She kept dreaming of two aunts in desperate and tragic situations, mentally broken. She also dreamt of herself being less vigilant and walking into that villa.

Huh?

In the next moment, Olivia suddenly felt chilly, her clothes vanished into thin air. Then, a man approached—it was Elijah!

...

Olivia woke up abruptly from her dream, looking around. She found herself lying on an unfamiliar bed, fully clothed, with no man around.

"It was just a dream..." Olivia muttered. "Sigh, I shouldn't use my ability recklessly on the island!"

The young girl sighed. Otherwise, even taking a shower would become unbearable! She recalled the scenes from her dream, a slight blush tinting her cheeks. Feeling uncomfortable with the dampness of her clothes, she looked outside. The sky was already turning pale.

Deciding to get up, she grabbed a fresh set of clothes and headed back into the bathroom...
