Chapter 14
By the time Angie got in the car with a big bag of souvenirs, Melanie had learned almost everything about the Vision Museum.
“When did you leave, Melanie? We’ve missed a lot!”
“The museum covers about 108 thousand square feet so we can’t see everything in a short time.”
“Don’t you want to find out what kind of collection they’re looking for?”
“I’ve figured it out.”
Melanie handed her a file and started the engine.
“Tell the Creative Department to prepare according to this.”
Angie took a look at it and was surprised.
“You haven’t seen all the stuff in the museum. How did you know what they wanted?”
“I’ve seen it online. This museum’s collection is very diverse, but what they have in common is that they are all vintage.
“Therefore, collections that are old but of excellent quality are sure to appeal to them.”
“Great. I’ll do what you say.”
Angie was glad that she had finished the task so easily.
Suddenly, Melanie’s phone rang.
As soon as she picked up the phone, she heard Gary Quinn’s worried tone.
“There’s an emergency, Mela. Elias‘ missing.”
“What? Elias is missing!”
Melanie braked suddenly and almost threw Angie out of the car..
“Don’t worry, Mela. Luke went out with him so he should be fine,” Gary comforted her on the phone.
Even so, Melanie felt very anxious. After all, Elias had never been out alone!
Angie was not surprised to know that Elias was out alone.
“Don’t underestimate Elias, Mélanie. He’s the smartest among the three kids. He’s good at acting cute to get what he wants. I guess that he must have gone out to buy candies.”
“I don’t think so. We have candies at home. Even if he had to go out, he shouldn’t have closed the tracker!”
Angie hurriedly took over the phone and clicked on it. Soon, she felt nervous too.
“What is he doing? I can’t track him.”
Melanie was so anxious that she began to look for Elias while driving.
She felt extreinely regretful.
She thought that she should have brought them to the museum or sent them back to the island earlier.
After a long search, she still couldn’t find Elias and Luke.
Melanie thought about it for a long time and thought that Elias couldn’t have been kidnapped.
After all, the kids were new to Beloris and no one knew them.
Tell Roy and Sam to put more effort into finding him, and I need you to check the traffic footage to see whether you can find him, Angie.”
If it didn’t work, she could only call the police.
Although Zerivia was quite safe, she felt no place was safe but her grandfather’s island after what happened in Solustria.
She must find Elias as soon as possible, or she would never be relieved.
At the same time, however, Elias and Luke were standing at the gate of the Lambert Manor.
“See, Luke? No. 1 Cloud Avenue exists.”
“Yes.”
“Does daddy live here, Luke?”
“I don’t know.”
“The data says it’s here. It should be correct.”
“Yes.”
“Mommy would be so happy that I’ve found Daddy, right?”
“I’m not sure.”
“Will Daddy recognize me, Luke?”
“Yeah.”
“How can I see Daddy?”
“No idea.”
“Let’s wait here. Luk
Daddy will come home soon!”

“OK.”
Soon, a luxury car showed up on Cloud Avenue.
Roderick lowered his head and stared blankly at his hands in the car.
He was still thinking about it when he held Melanie in his arms and smelt the fragrance on her body.
“Look, there’s a child in front of us.”
Richard Harris slowed down.
“Is it Noah?”
“I don’t think so. There’s a sturdy guy beside him. He looks like a killer.”
Bill Keaton laughed at him. “Bullshit. No killer dares come here!”
Richard was not convinced.
“I’m not lying. This guy looks quite strong. I’m afraid that you’re not his match.”
“Are you stupid? Killers don’t act like killers.”
As Bill spoke, he also looked out of the window.
“What a lovely boy. He looks beautiful.”
Bill was interested in Elias, so he said, “Stop the car!”
Richard stopped quietly.
Roderick, who sat in the backseat, was still immersed in his unexpected meeting with Melanie and her smell in the museum. He was obsessed!
She was still the girl he used to know seven years ago. Even prettier than before.
She didn’t recognize him.
She didn’t even know him at all.
She didn’t recognize the man who had an unforgettable night with her seven years ago.
Roderick rubbed his forehead, lost in his thoughts. He didn’t notice at all that the car was stopped.
“Who are your parents, kid? Why were you standing in front of the car? It’s dangerous!”
Bill looked at Elias. He quite like this little boy.
“I’m looking for Daddy!” Elias said with his big bright eyes.
“Your daddy?”
Bill looked at Richard in confusion and asked, “Who’s your daddy?”
“I don’t know.”
Elias looked a little upset.
“I haven’t seen Daddy since I was born.”
Elias‘ distressed and aggrieved look almost melted Bill’s heart.
He got out of the car hurriedly and tried to hug Elias, but was stopped by Luke.
“Get in the car, Bill. We should go. Richard honked to urge him.
Bill looked at Elias reluctantly, glared at Luke, and got in the car. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
Seeing the luxury car drive into the manor, Elias took Luke’s hand.
“I don’t think Daddy is in the car, Luke.”
“Yeah.”
“Will I find Daddy today, Luke?”
“I don’t know.”
“If daddy is in the car, he’ll recognize me at first sight, won’t he?”
“Yeah.”
“Look, Luke. Here comes another car! Will Daddy be in it?”
“I’m not sure.”
Elias raised his hand and waved it vigorously.
In the car was Jennifer, who followed Roderick home.
Ever since she heard that Roderick had a girlfriend, she was so excited that she lost sleep at night.
She kept asking Roderick about that girl but got nothing from her stubborn son.
Having no choice, she asked her two daughters to follow Roderick with her.
Unexpectedly, she bumped into him and Melanie in the museum.
Roderick, who couldn’t touch women, held a girl in his arms.
More importantly, he didn’t have an allergy after he did so.”
That was great news for her!
And she had to figure out what was going on!
13:51 Sat, 2 Mar GFR
Jennifer was so excited that Roderick would have a girlfriend and married soon because that meant. she could have a grandson.
“I can’t believe this, Rachel. Roddy is going to have a girlfriend!”
“Don’t jinx it, Mom. Roddy hasn’t said anything about it!” Rachel said while driving.
“So what? I can’t believe that there’s a girl out there who’s not obsessed with Roddy,” Jennifer said with an expectant smile.
“I’ll tell them to have a baby soon after they get married. I’m looking forward to seeing my grandson.”
“That hurts, Mom. Isn’t Noah your grandson?” Emma said, pretending to be mad.
“It’s different. Noah is your son, after all.”
Jennifer looked a little gloomy.
“Do you want to see your brother stay single for the rest of his life?”
Jennifer wiped her tears while she was speaking.
Panicked, Emma hurriedly hugged her to comfort her.
“I was just kidding, Mom. Why are you suddenly sad?”
