He did not want to answer this phone call.

However, if he did not answer, it would be as if he was hiding something from the little girl. Just when he just

brought the little girl back, Jeremy did not want any misunderstandings to make her angry. If he couldn’t see her

tomorrow and she ran away again, it would be troublesome.

So, the man directly answered the call on speakerphone.

From the other end of the phone, Anya’s voice trembled with a crying tone, sounding flustered and panicked.

“Jeremy, where are you?”

“At home.”

“Jeremy, do you have time to come over? I need you.”

“Not convenient.”

Anya heard the man’s resolute refusal but did not give up. She pleaded while crying, “Jeremy, I know it’s not good

to disturb you like this all the time, but now Joey is missing! Wuwuwu! I searched everywhere I could, but I can’t find

him anywhere. I don’t know what to do now! Jeremy, do you think something happened to Joey?”

Upon hearing this, Jeremy’s brow furrowed. The child was missing?

Beside him, Corinne finished half a bowl of noodles, put down her chopsticks, and casually interjected, Go and take

a look. After all, that child was adopted by you and Miss Anya together, Mister, you also have a share of the

guardianship responsibility.”

Jeremy did not respond to Anya’s tearful cries over the phone. He simply hung up and gazed deeply into Corinne’s

eyes. “Little girl, you have to believe that child.”

Before the man could finish his sentence, a slender finger pressed against his lips, silencing him.

Corinne looked at him calmly. “Mister, you don’t need to explain. I understand, and I won’t get angry.”

Jeremy hesitated for a moment, feeling touched by the young girl’s understanding.

Corinne continued, “However, you need to carry me upstairs first so I can change clothes. I want to go. with you

and see what’s going on.”

Jeremy gently lifted her, holding her in his arms. “Alright, you’ll accompany me.”

He cursed himself inwardly. Why did he fear her anger and choose not to tell her about adopting the child? If he

explained it properly, she would have understood and wouldn’t have left without a word.

This young girl had a broad-mindedness when it came to right and wrong. It was he, as a grown man, who

narrowed his perspective.

As he carried her out of the kitchen, Corinne lazily wrapped her arms around Jeremy’s neck. “Mister, this is our last

chance. From now on, you can’t keep anything from me, or else I will truly never forgive you!”

The man ran his large hand through her hair. “Alright, I promise you that there will never be any more secrets

between us.”

“That’s more like it!”

After changing their clothes, they left together and got into the car, heading toward the Riveras.

However, not long after their car left the vicinity of Holden’s estate, a black van emerged from a nearby

alley in the darkness, quietly following them from behind.
