Chapter 363
After returning to the mountaintop villa, I personally made some chicken soup for Dexter.
Both Ashton and Xan ignored me as they were busy playing. I ignored them as well, knowing that they couldn’t do anything much with their current abilities.
I got up to the attic and raised my brows when I looked at the keypad lock. Evidently, the two of them had sneaked up and tried to crack the code while I was away.
Unfortunately, they still couldn’t crack the password to the second door.
"Sophia." Dexter instinctively loosened the chain around his neck when he saw me coming up. He had clearly locked himself in upon hearing the outside commotion.
I could handle the two rascals outside, yet a single chain couldn’t keep Dexter contained.
I knew I couldn’t truly keep him contained unless he was willing to stay.
In reality, I was also taking a gamble.
"Is your neck hurting?" I deliberately asked with raised brows.
Dexter lowered his head, looking diffident as he hummed a reply.
"I’ll remove it for you." I walked over, unlocked the keypad lock behind his neck, and removed the chain. Dexter stopped my hands with his own. He softly said, "Just keep me locked, Sophia."
