Sebastian did not expect that the call would connect, but no one picked up. "Sir, we can contact the police to pinpoint the location of her phone," one bodyguard suggested."Hmm, I think so too."Natalie was his sister. The police would surely help him to look for her, but he had never thought that locating her was such a simple matter. He just provided his identity card and proof of Natalie and Dean's relationship, and the police immediately helped him locate the position of Natalie's phone.The location showed that Natalie's phone was in a rural and remote area surrounded by hills.Once he got the exact position, Sebastian and his bodyguards went there looking for Natalie."She would dare to escape to such a remote area. She sure is bold!" One bodyguard mocked."I guess us coming to Aryadelle to look for her must have scared her." Sebastian leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes, resting. "But her phone is on. I suspect something must have happened to her. If not, she

Sebastian was not familiar with Holly, but from their messages, he saw a name that made his eyes brighten— Ivy.Ivy was Elliot's and Avery's long-lost daughter.They had been in Ylore, looking for her, and that was how Natalie had set them up. They had almost died in the suburbs of a foreign country!After going through Natalie and Holly's messages, Sebastian could roughly guess Holly's identity.He was overjoyed. He felt as if he had just won a jackpot. The first thing he thought of doing was calling his father and giving him the news. His father would surely be very happy.After this thought appeared, he felt sad! He clearly hated his father and wanted to kill him. That way, no one could call him useless anymore. No one would use the Jennings family fortune to force him into obedience.However, why did the first thought he have was one which involved pleasing his father? He had just gotten a very important lead. He could have told Avery. If he wanted a reward, Avery would s

To make matters worse, Elliot was particular about cleanliness, so he kept grumbling, wanting to wash his hair.Avery had to find a way to wash his hair. Her phone rang, but she was in the bathroom, so she did not hear it. It was Robert who had brought her phone to her. If Robert had not given her, her phone, she would not have heard it ringing nor would she have answered the call. "I'm returning to Bridgedale tomorrow," Sebastian said, waiting for Avery to understand what he was trying to say.Avery placed the call on loudspeaker mode and put it to the side. She continued washing Elliot's hair. "Have you found Natalie?""No," Sebastian said lightheartedly. "Are you free tomorrow? Why don't you treat me to a meal? Aryadelle is your territory."Avery noticed Elliot tensing and she rejected Sebastion without a moment's hesitation. "I'm not free tomorrow. Elliot has just gotten discharged. I have to be with him. I can treat you to a meal when I'm in Bridgedale next time."A sen

Avery sounded calm as if they were discussing an inconsequential matter. "Have you thought this through?""Does this need thinking about?" Avery asked in return.Elliot shook his head."Don't shake your head. Have you forgotten that you have head injuries?" Avery sighed.She understood how Elliot felt. After going through so many incidents together, it was easy to understand the other person's heart. "What about next Monday? Hayden said that he is leaving on the weekend. We'll head to the Civil Registry Office on Monday. We'll get Hayden to come along." Avery was reluctant to be apart from her son."If you want Hayden to stay with you for a few more days, we can go to the registrar next Monday, instead of this Friday." Elliot understood what she was trying to do, so he made that suggestion."I can't force Hayden to stay with me just because he listens to me. This will affect his studies. Do you know how tired Hayden usually is? The things he learns in a year is something stud

"I never thought that she was living under our very noses, but if she does not know anything about Ivy and her whereabouts, she is no use to us either." Sebastian thought back to how Avery viewed him, and he grew upset. "Who would have thought that Holly Blanche knew everything.""This person is no ordinary person. She even survived Elliot and Avery without giving in to their demands…" Dean looked at Natalie's phone and narrowed his sly eyes. "Natalie could easily get her over to her side. Should I say that Natalie has some good tricks up her sleeves or that Holly has no vision? If I were her, I would surely pick Elliot.""Dad, maybe Holly feels Natalie to be more trustworthy," Sebastian said. "Right now, the most important thing is to contact Holly.""Sebastian, handle this. Take Natalie's phone and meet up with Holly. Whatever Natalie is paying her, we can double it. We have to get her on our side." Dean was excited when he said that. "If we can locate Ivy and get to her before E

Hayden was a little baffled about having to keep the marriage certificates.Other children handed things to their parents for safekeeping; why was it the other way around in his family?Hayden was a minimalist. He carried all his important belongings with him in his bag.His bag only had his laptop and mouse. If his parents gave him their marriage certificates for safekeeping, he had no choice but to place them in his bag.He would have to deal with the emotions that would stem from taking their marriage certificates to school, daily. "Hayden, have you bought your tickets?" Elliot was in a good mood, so he mustered up the courage to chat with his son."I bought a ticket for tonight." Hayden placed their marriage certificates into his bag before passing the camera to his mother. "The photos I took might not be good."Avery accepted the camera and casually browsed through a few photos. She praised him and said, "As long as you took it, it will look great.""No matter who takes

After Avery selected the tea, she turned to Elliot, "Elliot, do you know what language this is? It seems like it's in Italian.""You're right. It is Italian."Avery heard the certainty behind his answer and said, "You understand Italian?""I've learned a little in the past, but I haven't used it for many years. I have forgotten most of it already." Elliot placed the menu in front of Hayden so that he might choose what he wanted. "Why did you learn Italian? I thought you majored in architecture?" Avery was shocked to find out that he knew Italian. She had seen his bookshelf, and there were many foreign books in their original languages, but she had thought that he had bought those books just to complete his collection and for superficial reasons. She did not think he understood what they meant. "Back then, it was because I liked an Italian architect, so I bought her book. Since I didn't want to read a translated version of the book, I had to learn Italian," Elliot said.Hayden
Chapter 2246
Elliot had thought that Avery insisted that he profess his love to her in Italian because she understood the language."What's the point if you don't understand what I said?" he said sheepishly."Of course, there's a point. I can tell how sincere you are from your tone and your eyes. Besides, Italian sounds elegant. It sounds even better when you say it. It's pleasant to hear even if I don't understand what you are saying."Avery had given him her full attention, and his embarrassment dissolved when he realized that."Mom, do you want to know what he said?" Hayden asked.She was stunned for a moment, before asking in surprise. "Do you know what he said? I thought you said you don't understand Italian?""I don't, but my phone has a translation function and I recorded him as he spoke." Hayden clicked on the application and instantly translated what Elliot said into their language."Avery, I'm glad that I met you. I look forward to every day that I get to spend with you. I love you
