I could still see anger in Noraâs eyes. She stayed silent for several seconds, then lowered her head and
stared at the phone in my hand. âCall Holden now. I need to see it with my own eyes,â she said in a
commanding tone.
I forced a smile. Her worry was totally unnecessary. It was just a phone call. I would not go back on my
words.
Immediately, I called Holden to put her mind at rest. After explaining the matter, I gave them each
otherâs contact numbers.
Nora looked at Holdenâs name on her WhatsApp contact list and her expression softened. However, it
was only for a split second as she soon returned to her usual cold demeanor. Casting a quick look at
me, she put away her phone, turned around, and got into the car. âThis isnât the end.â
With that, she closed the car door with a bang and sped off.
Perhaps it was because I had the same experience of losing a child. Her neurotic behavior made me
feel for her.
Only the people who had experienced it would know how torturing it was to search for a lost child. In
the first half of her journey, she had been forced to work together with Nathaniel. I hoped that she
would meet a good person for the remaining journey.
After Nora left, I kept waiting for Nathaniel to appear, but one day had passed, and I heard nothing from
him.
The only thing that I could do was to comfort myself that it was normal. Nathaniel was always
unpredictable and acting out of the norm.
Despite that, when the phone rang that night, I still sprung forward to answer it. When I saw that it was
John, I lost my balance and slumped on the couch.
Looking down, I saw that my ankle was swollen. I rubbed it for a while, hoping to alleviate the pain
before answering the call. âHello?â
âWhat took you so long?â John sounded a little anxious.
Afraid that he would be worried, I took in a deep breath and replied calmly, âThe phone is in the room. I
just came up.â
Fortunately, he did not grow suspicious as he changed the topic naturally. âNathaniel didnât leave his
villa for the whole day.â
âIs that so?â I sat up from the couch. âThis is out of my expectation.â
âThis man tends to waste time on an insoluble or insignificant problem once he starts to brood over it.
Itâs not necessarily a good thing.â
Thinking of Ashtonâs strange behavior last night, I hurriedly interjected, âYou sent someone to follow
Ashton, right? Did anything happen to him today?â
âMy dear sister, donât you know that heâs the safest person in the world right now? As long as youâre
still in love with Ashton, Nathaniel will keep him alive. Why do you need to worry about him?â uttered
John jealously. He was probably angry at Ashton again.
Left with no choice, I could only tell him what had happened last night. âHe didnât reply to me after that.
How can I not worry about him?â
âYou asked for it. You should know Ashton better than anyone. Itâs not even the first time he has done
something like this. Thereâs no need to feel nervous.â
Roasting Ashton was probably one of Johnâs greatest sources of entertainment, but I was not in the
mood to play along with him. âJohn!â
âFine. Thereâs nothing special. Except for hanging out with Lucas and the gang, he only went to the
Notary Office. Then, he stayed at Summerâs club and never left.â
âWhy did he go to the Notary Office?â
âI donât know. Maybe he went there to deal with business matters. What else can he do there?â
That was true. No matter what, Ashton was still the legal person of the company. It was not weird for
him to be there in person when dealing with company matters.
After that, John brought up some other news that he had found out before hanging up.
Audrey had already fallen asleep in the bedroom. After spending the whole day waiting for nothing, I
felt frustrated, so I poured a glass of red wine and leaned against the couch.
Eventually, I fell asleep.
