Alaric gently brushed his fingers across Emerald's face. "This person must know you very well. That means the apartment you're staying in is no longer safe. Ember, during this time, you have two choices: come with me to the penthouse or go back to my house. Even if we live together, I can't be with you for 14 hours a day, and the safety of your apartment can't be guaranteed."
His expression and tone were far more serious than before. This matter was about Emerald's life, and Alaric wasn't going to give her any choice.
"Then let's go to the penthouse, and you can take me home to get my things."
"Good."
Alaric noticed the relaxation in Emerald's expression and gently pulled her into his arms. "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
