After eating lunch, Armand left.
In City B…
In the Miller family…
Boyce had been missing for nearly a week now. Mrs. Miller and Officer Miller started to believe that Boyce may have died.
After all, the situation was so dangerous. The search had lasted for six days.
“Wendy, will you just stop thinking about him? Give up.” Mrs. Miller tried to persuade her daughter. She sighed, “You just don’t have the destiny to be with him. For the first time, it was you who didn’t want to and you two did not work out. The second time, he is gone. If you’re destined to be together, you’ll be together since the first time. Let’s just find another suitable person, okay?”
Wendy was annoyed, “Mom, can you stop it?”
“I’m saying this for your own good…”
“I don’t need it.” Wendy stood up and took her bag after she said this. Then, she went out.
“Wendy…”
“Stop it, just let her go. As soon as she’s back, you started to nag. Not to mention her, I felt annoying too.” Office Miller felt a bit tired.
Mrs. Miller felt that she was right, “I did it for her own good, didn’t I?”
“Okay, okay, just stop it.” Officer Miller pinched the bridge of his nose wearily. He did not want to listen to any nonsense anymore.
“Where do you think she will go?” Mrs. Miller was a little worried.
“She’s an adult. Don’t worry too much.” Officer Miller said earnestly, “If you control her too much, she will be unhappy. Just leave her alone and let her do whatever she wants.”
Mrs. Miller felt that children’s affair should still be decided by adults, even though Wendy was already an adult. As she opened her mouth and wanted to speak, she was scolded by Officer Miller, “If you say another word, get out of here.”
He was mad too.
Mrs. Miller covered her mouth and started crying.
Officer Miller got up irritably and went into the room. He would not have to be annoyed if he did not see her.
Wendy went to the villa after she went out.
When she arrived at the entrance of the villa, Wendy parked the car at the curb. She did not get out of the car immediately but lowered the window to look at the villa. She found that Armand was not in City B, and Cormac was not in a hurry as before.
Did he give up, or was there something else going on?
She gently rubbed her hand on the steering wheel and pondered the possibilities of this matter.
In the end, she could not figure out what the key point of the matter was, and decided to find out from Loredana and Cormac. She put the car keys in her bag, pushed the door open and got out of the car, and walked towards the villa.
When she reached the door, she raised her hand and rang the doorbell.
It wasn’t long before someone came to the door. Coral stood at the door and asked, “Who are you looking for?”
“I’m looking for Mr. Mendelsohn and his wife. Are they in?” Wendy asked.
“Please wait a moment while I inform them.” Coral didn’t let her in. She had never seen this woman before, and Cormac had explained that no one she didn’t know could be let in.
After what happened last time, Amanda was not in a good state of mind. They were afraid that if a stranger came into the house, it would affect her mood.
“Okay, please hurry up. It’s hot outside.” Wendy said.
Coral nodded, and as she closed the door, she asked, “What should I call you?”
Wendy replied, “My last name is Miller. You can call me Wendy.”
“Okay.” Coral closed the door and headed upstairs.
There was no one in the house but Loredana with Amanda. Jayden and Kevin had gone to the old house with Andrew, and Cormac was not home either. Lucy was in their house as a nanny when the incident happened and they need to be held responsible. Cormac went to negotiate with Lucy’s family to settle the matter, and only Loredana was at home with Amanda.
In the room, Amanda was lying in Loredana’ arms and didn’t say anything. She just grabbed her collar and was afraid that she would disappear.
Even when she was asleep, she would still grab her collar.
And she woke up several times throughout the night.
She was extremely upset inside.
Coral was afraid of alarming Amanda, so she gently pushed the door in and asked in a whisper, “Is Simona asleep?”
Loredana said no.
Coral whispered, “There’s a lady downstairs, whose last name is Miller, looking for you. Do you know her? Should I let her in?”
Loredana hadn’t been in the best of spirits the last few days. At first, she was worried because Boyce’s whereabouts were unknown, and now she was worried about Amanda, fearing that it would cause her psychological damage and be affected mentally. Combined with the growing months of pregnancy, she also got tired easily.
Hearing that her last name was Miller, Loredana hadn’t reacted to who it was. After all, they had only met each other once. She was half lying on the bed, with Amanda resting on her arm. Her arm was a little numb and she moved her body, “Did she say what she was doing here?”
Coral shook her head, “She only said she came to see you guys.”
“Just tell her I’m not available for visitors right now,” Loredana said.
Coral said yes, “I’ll go down and get rid of her.”
Loredana nodded and Coral walked out of the room. As she closed the door, Loredana asked, “Did she say what her name was?”
“She said her name was Wendy,” Coral replied.
Wendy? Wasn’t that Boyce’s girlfriend? She rubbed her forehead. So it was her. But what was she doing here?
After all, she was Boyce’s girlfriend, and it wasn’t good for them to shut the door on her.
“Coral, let her in.”
Loredana sat up from the bed, and Coral saw that she was struggling to pick up Amanda, so she came over and tried to hold her for her. But as soon as she touched her, Amanda wrapped her arms around Loredana’ neck and held her tighter, fearing that she would let her go.
Loredana patted her back and whispered soothingly, “Good girl, I’m not leaving. Just let go of your hand. I can barely breathe.”
Amanda loosened up a little but continued to hold her very tightly, fearing that Coral would hug her.
Loredana stroked her daughter’s hair. She knew it was the shock that made her this way, and her mind needed careful care, “Coral, you go down first. I’ll go down later.”
Coral nodded.
