Alessia didn't go back to the front stage but stayed backstage, watching.
The two little ones had participated in big shows abroad before, so now, when they stepped onto the stage and started strutting their model walks, they exuded a full presence.
Christian was lively and cute. Even when he reached the middle of the stage, he didn't forget to blow kisses and send out heart shapes, just as he said, captivating the audience below.
Eleanor, on the other hand, was relatively shy, but her unique sweet temperament and adorable appearance also won the hearts of many people.
"Wow!! Elle is so obedient and adorable! Truly my niece! Chris is not bad either, although a bit exaggerated, he's quite cute," Bianca, sitting in the audience, cheered as if it were New Year's.
For the first time, Dominic watched his son and daughter's performance, and his heart melted. The corners of hi
It was already half past six, and several cars were heading towards X Villa. Among them was Riley. Jessie said she would come after the event ended. After an hour's drive, the cars parked at X Villa, and everyone got out of the cars one after another. It was already evening, and it was cool. From the balcony of the viewing rooms, you could see the lights of thousands of households. The three kids had different levels of excitement on their faces. Christian and Eleanor were happy because this was the first time they had gone out so far since returning to the country, and they were staying overnight at the villa tonight. Christopher was happy because he could play with his parents and siblings. The whole family was neat and tidy, as if Mom and Dad had already reconciled. However, n
Bianca suddenly turned her head. If Riley's mention of Alessia and Dylan's good relationship was unintentional the first time, this was already the second time. A while back, there were rumors online about Alessia and Dylan being high school sweethearts, causing quite a stir. Riley couldn't possibly be unaware of this. Bringing it up now seemed like deliberate mischief. Bianca glared at Riley, but he just smiled gently and continued, "Ladies first, or should Mr. Frost go first?" Bianca's eyes almost popped out of her head. She and Jessie were playing this game with the purpose of setting her brother up with her sister-in-law. With Riley's attitude, it seemed like he wanted to pair her sister-in-law with Dylan. How could that be allowed! Bianca was angry, but she had to abide by the rules of the game. Dylan, who outwardly app
Dominic glanced at Alessia, knowing that she was doing this on purpose. However, it wasn't something he couldn't talk about. He looked into the distance, as if recalling and regretting, "It was at the beginning of sophomore year. I met her on an online forum, and we agreed to meet at the end of the semester. But she stood me up, and afterwards, she never logged into the forum again." Everyone's first love happened quite early, but they hadn't expected Dominic to be even trendier, having an unsuccessful online-to-real-life relationship. Alessia raised an eyebrow, feeling a bit smug. However, she quickly realized something. The time Dominic mentioned was when he went to Niagara Escarpment alone and encountered the landslide. Moreover, Sisca's brother died because of that incident. Last time, she asked him why he went to Niagara Escarpment. &
Under Dominic's arrangement, the two groups acted separately. Under a big tree, Bianca hung up the phone and looked around. She realized that unconsciously, she had walked to a secluded place away from the crowd. Bianca was about to walk to a brighter place to wait for Dominic when she saw three drunken men walking towards her. Bianca ignored them and moved on. But the men's voices of discussion came from behind her. "Hey, there's another beauty here, she's really pretty!" "Hehe..." After the discussion, there was a series of suggestive laughter. Just by the sound, you could imagine how lecherous these men looked. Bianca felt disgusted. If it weren't for Christian missing, she would have definitely knocked their teeth out with her hig
Eleanor turned her head and saw a woman standing under a big tree, waving at her. Eleanor didn't approach but asked cautiously, "Who are you? How do you know my name?" Sisca was wearing a uniform from X's inn, with a black mask covering half of her face. She gently said, "Of course, I know your name because your brother told me. He asked me to bring you to him!" Eleanor's name was something she had learned after spying all night. Eleanor blinked her pretty eyes and asked, tilting her head, "Auntie, did my brother only ask you to call me? Is the place where my brother is very mysterious and beautiful? Is he planning to surprise me?" "Yes, the place is mysterious and beautiful, and he wants to surprise you. Hurry, come with me, or you'll be late." Sisca nodded, her tone becoming softer. She had thought it would take some effor
"Grandma, someone's here to see you!" Christian looked towards the door. Evelyn tucked the convenience paper into her pocket, and her lackluster eyes also turned towards the door weakly as she stood up. She had been hiding on X Hill, could it be him coming again? Seeing Evelyn getting up, Christian hurriedly went up to support her, volunteering, "Grandma, I'll go open the door!" Evelyn's eyes softened, patting Christian's little chubby hand, "Go ahead!" Christian flashed his white teeth and dashed over on his little legs. The room door opened, and standing outside were the innkeeper and a group led by Dominic. Dominic's face was as cold as if someone owed him ten million, plus three drunken thugs accompanying him. No matter how you looked at it, they didn't seem friendly. Evelyn hurried over, wanting t
Security Office. The surveillance footage from the villa was quickly retrieved, but after reviewing all the videos, there was no sign of Eleanor being taken away by anyone. There were also no suspicious individuals captured on the surveillance. "How is it possible that there's no trace left?" The duty manager was on the verge of tears. "Mr. Carter, I really didn't mean for this to happen. There was an urgent matter at the front desk that needed my attention. If I had known Miss Eleanor would disappear, I wouldn't have let her go alone." It was too coincidental that there was no footage and that the duty manager was occupied with something. Unless Elle's disappearance was planned by someone! Alessia and Dominic suddenly exchanged a glance, almost simultaneously thinking of this possibility. "Manager, what exactly happened at the front desk that req
Alessia didn't refuse.At this moment, the tacit understanding between them seemed very natural, as if they had cooperated countless times before.Dominic accelerated the car, while Alessia sat in the passenger seat tapping on the computer, analyzing the surveillance footage to efficiently track down the woman.On the other side,In the car, Eleanor, lying on the back seat, blinked her eyes and slowly woke up.She opened her beautiful eyes, looking at the unfamiliar car and the back of the woman who had abducted her, without crying or making a fuss, appearing calm, almost unlike a child.Eleanor sat up carefully and slowly, her gaze gradually shifting towards the window.On the dimly lit road, with no street lights, they relied solely on the moonlight and the car's headlights to illuminate the way. The trees and grasslands were constantly
