Chapter 854
On Sunday morning, Lewis came over early and gave Wendy two tickets for a big Tinseltown sci-fi movie that had just hit the cinemas."If you're feeling bored, you can take Aster to the movies."This movie was quite popular recently. During weekends, the theaters for that movie were always packed. Wendy had wanted to watch the movie with someone before, but she was unable to get tickets."Fantastic!" She happily agreed and leaned down to hug Aster and give him a kiss. "Come have fun with Godma later! I'll take you to eat the best food there is!"Although Larissa was worried about Wendy's health, she also hoped that her friend could go out and do something to distract herself.While Aster was looking for his bag in his room, Larissa quickly grabbed her son and instructed him to take note of several things."Godma's not feeling very good. Be a good boy when going out with her, walk properly, and don't run. Don't jump on Godma, and watch over her. Don't let her eat random things. She

Lewis was a workaholic. Larissa was the same. They did not put down their work even when lunchtime rolled around. They simply ate instant noodles while they worked.Larissa's phone suddenly rang. When she saw that it was Aster, Larissa panicked and answered the call at once."Mommy—" Aster was crying as he called out to her.Larissa's heart began to pound. She felt more worried than ever. "What's wrong?" Her voice was trembling."Godma's missing!" Aster sobbed as he tried to say everything clearly.Larissa walked out of the study at once. Seeing that something was wrong, Lewis followed too."Don't cry." Larissa comforted him. "Tell Mommy properly what happened."Aster took several deep breaths to calm down."Godma and I were eating, and then she said she wanted to go to the toilet and would come back. She told me to wait for her at my seat."Aster had already texted Larissa about it before they ate. He even snapped a picture of the restaurant."And?" Larissa had no time to
Chapter 856
Lewis arrived at the restaurant before someone called the police. After he paid, he picked Aster up and pulled Larissa out of the place.Now that the situation was under control, the people in the restaurant kept looking at them though, and their quiet discussions kept going.Aster's emotions calmed down slowly after they were in the car. His wailing changed into sniffling and hiccuping. He held Larissa's hand and refused to let it go.Lewis did not rush to start the car. He took some tissues and gave them to Larissa to clean herself and Aster up. They had cried so hard that their eyes were red. Their faces were wet with tears and it actually looked kind of scary."Try calling Wendy," Lewis said to Larissa, who dug for her phone while hugging Aster.Wendy's phone remained unanswered like yesterday. But this time, she had her phone with her, so it was impossible for her to not have heard the ringtone."Why don't we call the police?" The ringing in the phone made Larissa's fear com

Larissa did not dare to think how she was going to tell Wendy's parents in Caldor if anything had really happened to Wendy.…After an hour had almost passed, Lewis' phone call came. It was rather late. Larissa quickly answered and asked desperately, "Did you find her?""Not yet," Lewis said.What little hope that had appeared died immediately. Larissa's shoulders slumped and she seemed to have lost her soul. Her voice was also dull. "Oh …""I looked at the surveillance footage in the mall. After Wendy left the restaurant, a man followed her to the toilet. When she came out, the man was with her. They must know each other. I've taken a picture and I'll send it to you now." The moment Lewis said that, Larissa's WhatsApp got a notification.Larissa tapped into Lewis' picture. He had snapped the picture from the surveillance camera screens. There was a male and female couple in the picture. The woman was Wendy, as for the man …Although there was only a blurry side profile, Larissa
Chapter 858
Larissa kept trembling. She could not be bothered to think where Edmund had found out that Wendy was pregnant. She dug her nails hard into her flesh, using the pain to force herself to be calm."You …" She gritted her teeth, her throat tight. "What do you want to do exactly?""I want to meet up with you," Edmund said.Larissa gripped her phone very tightly as she asked him, "If I meet with you, will you let go of Wendy?""Of course." Edmund agreed very readily. "But—" His dragging out of the message caused Larissa to hold her breath. "You can only come alone." Edmund's voice became cold. "If I found out that you've called the police, or that someone's following you secretly …"Edmund laughed evilly. "You don't want to know what I'll do to Wendy.""Fine!" Larissa could not be bothered to think. The only thing in her head right now was to save Wendy from Edmund. Even if she had to lose her life for this, she did not care. After all, this happened because of Larissa herself."I'll

Edmund carefully showed only half his face. He kept looking behind Larissa. Once he was certain there was no one else, he unchained the door and opened the door fully."Get in," he said, but Larissa did not move."Where's Wendy?" she asked. "Tell Wendy to come out, and I'll go in.""Wendy's not here," Edmund said.Larissa immediately backed up to be out of Edmund's range. "Since you don't keep your promises …" She turned around to prepare to leave, but the doors on the right and left of Edmund's room opened to let out several men in black suits. They surrounded her.Larissa only realized that she had fallen into Edmund's trap. The men caught Larissa and tied her up. They locked her in Edmund's room.The small room was messy as hell, and there was a stinky smell in it.Seeing Larissa's frown, Edmund let out a creepy ass smile. "Relax, we won't stay here for long. Just bear with it a little longer."He leaned down to pinch Larissa's chin with two fingers. That face that looked li

Larissa did not know what Edmund had gone through to be so weird. Suddenly, he had a new, additional aura of an evil creepy fucker—or maybe he was always like that, but he hid it well last time.The creepy pervert killers Larissa had seen on TV gradually merged with Edmund's face. She held her breath and gritted her teeth, which only barely allowed her to not show her fear.Feeling how tense Larissa was, Edmund only smiled more. It seemed like the more uneasy she was, the more excited he was."You're scared of me, sweet girl." Edmund used a tone of certainty.Larissa looked down and said nothing. Her hands, which were tied behind her back, gripped the bed sheets beneath her tightly."I really wanna take a picture of you like that and let Kevan see it." Edmund's finger kept stroking her whole face."He must feel really bad to see his darling woman in trouble and fear, hmm?""Darling woman?" Hearing this, Larissa raised an eyebrow and said mockingly, "Isn't Kevan's darling woman

"Since you don't wanna know—" Edmund let go of Larissa, straightened up, and took care of his clothes. "Then I'll answer the call outside."Larissa was afraid that he would see the desperate need in her eyes, so she forcibly looked away from Edmund. "Do whatever you want," she said indifferently."Tsk." Edmund confidently left the room.After that, one of the black-suited men entered the room and stared emotionlessly at Larissa. He warned her. "Don't even think of escaping!"Although the guy looked dangerous and fierce, he did not have the same sort of oppressive feel that Edmund had.Larissa raised her bound legs and asked, "Tell me how the hell I'm supposed to escape?"The man huffed and looked away. He ignored her after that.Larissa talked to him though. "How much is Edmund paying you for this? I'll give you double—for both you and your 'friends.' Could you please let me go?"The man glared at her and shouted, "Shut up!"Larissa ignored that though. "I mean it." She contin
