Bradley tasted the strong liquor, and suddenly, a hint of blood spilled from his lips.
Blankly stared at the alcohol in the glass. He smashed it onto the floor, creating a loud “clang” as it shattered,
mixing blood with the potent liquor.
Seemingly oblivious, Bradley entered the room, opened a medicine bottle, poured some pills out, and took it with
bottled water. He then threw himself onto the bed, closing his eyes shortly after.

At the motel.
Logan and Esther each opened a bottle of mineral water.
Esther asked, “Did they go to the bar just for a drink?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLogan and Esther observed that the men at the bar didn’t interact with anyone.
Using binoculars to check the windows opposite, Logan said in a deep voice, “I don’t know.”
In theory, they shouldn’t be doing reconnaissance unless it was necessary.
Logan didn’t ask about Bradley and Esther’s relationship. He wasn’t concerned about his temporary partner’s past.
As long as Esther didn’t affect his work, he wouldn’t say anything, even if she had ten boyfriends in a day.
“Logan, can you tell me about the case we’re investigating?”
Logan glanced at Esther indifferently. “No.”
Esther didn’t press further but sat beside Logan, playing with her phone. Today was Jacob’s birthday, and she was
supposed to sing “Happy Birthday” to him. She had to leave upon receiving a last-minute message.
She messaged Xara, but there was no reply. She glanced at the time on her phone and began playing without
waiting for Xara’s response.
Logan looked at Esther leisurely and couldn’t help but feel a headache. He wondered if she was really suitable as
his partner and if Gabriel was getting senile, just casually assigning such a person to him.
No! Logan suddenly shivered, thinking about how his family had been urging him to get married. They wouldn’t
arrange such a unique blind date, right?
Logan didn’t dislike marriage, but the nature of his work was too dangerous. If he got married, his significant other?
He couldn’t bring any harm to an innocent person.
Esther was on her phone for a while and felt a bit sleepy. She looked at Logan and said, “I’ll switch with you in two
hours.”
Not trusting a newbie like Esther, Logan coolly refused, “No need. Just sleep.”

Esther looked at Logan and said frankly, “Logan, I know you look down on me, but… since we’re partners now, we
should be more honest with each other.”
Logan checked the time on his watch and said, “You can sleep for another hour and 58 minutes.”
Esther was taken aback for a moment before getting into bed. As for having an unfamiliar man in the room, she
didn’t pay any attention to him.
The person who had taught her had said that there was no distinction between men and women during tasks.
Everything was for the mission.
Logan heard Esther’s light breathing after a while. Her sleeping posture was very proper, with folded hands on her
abdomen. However, there was a hint of indescribable sadness on her face.
For the first time in Logan’s life, he felt curious about a woman.
At that moment, he still didn’t know that when a man became curious about a woman, he wasn’t far from falling in
love!
