Chapter 62 No One Can Have It

• "This place is beautiful," Adelaide says so softly that Egil can barely hear her. He watches her carefully as she walks through the site, step by step.

• Adelaide is so absorbed in looking at some of the many books on the shelf that she suddenly feels her husband's hand clearing her neck and placing something cold there. The touch of Egil's fingers makes her emit a low moan that doesn't go unnoticed by him.
