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
Dominic turned his head and heard Alessia say, "The road ahead is all rural roads, without surveillance." Ahead, three roads diverged in three directions. Without surveillance, there was no way to confirm which road the woman took with Elle. If they chose the wrong road, it would delay the time to rescue Elle. What Elle might encounter during this delay was something neither of them dared to imagine as parents. The car fell into silence, the atmosphere oppressive. Neither Alessia nor Dominic spoke at this moment. Suddenly, Dominic took a deep breath and turned the steering wheel to the left. Alessia closed the computer and looked at Dominic. Dominic said, "We've come all the way here. If we continue left, we'll head to Niagara escarpment." Niagara escarpment? Alessia thought for a moment and quickly re
Sisca's heart sank. Had the police been called? Did that mean the police were already on their way to her house? She had been so careful about kidnapping Eleanor, how did she get caught? It seemed that she couldn't bluff her way out of this anymore! Now, she could only gamble and beg Dominic. Tears welled up in Sisca's eyes as she looked to Dominic for help. "Dom, how could Miss La Rosa scare my dad? My dad is an honest and upright person. Miss La Rosa's daughter's disappearance really has nothing to do with us. Please help me." Dominic glanced at the fragile woman in front of him and walked towards Alessia. Alessia lifted her head coldly, waiting for Dominic's next move. Her daughter had not been found yet. Was this man going to favor Sisca, as she had feared in the car?
Alessia's eyes grew cold. If it were just her, she was confident she could avoid Sisca's attack, but she was holding the unconscious Eleanor, which made her movements limited, and she couldn't be sure. However, as a mother, even if she couldn't avoid it, she had to try. Alessia instinctively hugged Eleanor tightly, pressing her little head against her chest and moving her body to the side. By doing this, even if she were pushed down the stairs, it would greatly reduce the possibility of Eleanor getting hurt. Fortunately, what she feared did not happen. Just at the critical moment, when Sisca was about to hit her, Dominic acted. Dominic was agile, without any hesitation. He raised his leg and kicked Sisca in the side. Sisca was like a tattered kite, brushing past Alessia's back and crashing into the opposite wall, then slidin
The space in the room was already small, and Alessia's and Dominic's eyes met unexpectedly, then awkwardly looked away. Just moments ago, it didn't feel hot outside, but now, with the air conditioning blowing in the room, it felt even hotter. Something had to be done to break this awkward atmosphere. Alessia pursed her lips and took Eleanor's hand, "Elle, Mommy will wash your face for you." Eleanor looked up at Dominic, then at Alessia, blinking her big eyes. She always felt that Daddy and Mommy were acting strange, but as long as they could be together, it didn't matter! Eleanor playfully bit her finger and asked her mommy, "Mommy, can't Daddy wash his face with us?" Washing faces together was just like taking a bath together in her ears. Of course, she couldn't wash her face with Dominic... Alessia's
When their skins touched, both of them suddenly woke up. They had crossed a line, and their actions just now seemed immature, completely out of character for them.However, neither of them, as people who had never deeply loved before, understood that sometimes true feelings, regardless of personality or reason, could emerge.It was as if everything fell into place naturally, as if it was fate.Just as Alessia and Dominic were thinking about how to resolve this awkward situation, the bathroom door was pushed open."Daddy, mommy, it's time to eat!" Eleanor's childish voice rang out.Not far from the room, the landlady was arranging the dishes on the table. She turned her head along with Eleanor and saw the man pinning the woman against the wall in the bathroom, cupping her face, a suggestive sight."Oh! Daddy and mommy are kissing, you can't look!" Eleanor quic
