novelxo Chapter 1543
Faye continued throwing questions at Sebastian, "What are you going to do?"
"Faye, what do you think I can do? Yvette has been wronged so greatly! I must get to the bottom of this matter as I don't want to make wrong accusations! But I assure you, I'd never let the perpetrator slip past me."
Faye was a little worried. "Don't act rashly before getting your facts right."
Patting Faye's shoulder, Sebastian said, "We've been together for so many years. You should know me the best. Have you ever seen me acting out? Our daughter has been wronged. I just want to seek justice for her."
Sebastian had always been a man who went by the book. He never had any ulterior motives on his mind. For the past few decades, he and Faye had been working diligently to earn a living and managed to accumulate some wealth. Therefore, Faye knew what kind of person he was.
However, she was still worried. "Sebastian, I just can't help feeling that something's not right."
Sebastian comforted her by saying, "I've already asked Fynn to come back. They both are close and have been inseparable since they were young. I'm sure when Yvette sees him, she'll spill everything to him."
Faye leaned on Sebastian's side and said, "Hope so. I truly hope that nothing happened to her last night. I just wish things would go back to how they were before..."
But people were bound to change with time. No one would remain the same forever...
Initially, Vanessa was planning to take her leave after breakfast. However, seeing how reluctant Silvia was to part with Lawrie, she decided to stay until lunch.
When they were finally leaving, Silvia climbed into Julien's car. "Julien, do you mind if I tag along? I want to send Vanessa and Lawrie home as well."
Even if he disagreed with it, Silvia was still adamant on coming along. She wanted to spend as much time with Lawrie as possible.
Julien replied, "I don't mind at all."
Of course, he was not telling the truth.
Silvia already had Vanessa and Lawrie to herself for the whole night. It was the same that morning too. Now that Vanessa and Lawrie were finally leaving, Silvia still insisted to tag along. Needless to say, Julien's dissatisfaction toward Silvia was beyond words.
However, since Silvia was his elder sister-in-law, Julien had no choice but to give in.
"Relax, Julien. It seems that I've rubbed you the wrong way. All I did was to sleep with your wife and child for a night. We didn't do anything else."
"What are you talking about, Silvia? How did you rub me the wrong way?"
Taking advantage of the situation, Silvia said, "Well, if that's the case, I have decided to stay with Vanessa and Lawrie for the next few days, so that I can spend time with them." Julien was rendered speechless.
Why couldn't Jayden just take care of his wife? Didn't he know he was hurting another family by letting Silvia loose like that?
Seeing no response from Julien, Silvia continued, "I'll take your silence as a yes."
Julien said through gritted teeth, "It's been a long time since Jayden and you are back in Chatterton Town, why don't you spend some time sightseeing with him instead?"
"We've been to all the fun spots in Chatterton Town, what else is there to see?"
The reason she had dragged Jayden to Chatterton Town earlier was because she missed Larry. Now that there was Lawrie as well, Silvia was overjoyed. How would she think about Jayden? Upon hearing the words 'fun spots', Lawrie chimed in, "Auntie Silvia, are you going to bring me to somewhere fun?"
Embracing him in her arms, Silvia said, "Where would you like to go, Lawrie?"
"Wherever you bring me will do, Auntie Silvia."
"Let's go to the amusement park then." As Silvia spoke, she took out her phone and called Karen Joy. "Karen Joy, I'm thinking of taking Lawrie to the amusement park. Why don't you bring Larry over so that both of them can play together?"
As a result, instead of heading home, they made a detour to the amusement park.
Seeing that Julien was trying to mask his dissatisfaction, Vanessa gave his hand a nudge, saying, "Julien, why don't you go to work? I'll stay here with Silvia and the kids. Don't worry, I'll watch them closely. We'll be fine."
"I'm worried because of Silvia."
Silvia's personality was similar to Mia's. They were both fearless and loved stirring up trouble. Julien was afraid that Silvia would poorly influence Vanessa, tainting Vanessa's kind and innocent character. "Why?"
"Because..." Before Julien could finish his sentence, he changed the topic. "Just be careful, okay? Call me if anything happens."
"Okay," Vanessa nodded. Seeing that he was about to leave, she quickly reached out to him. "Where are you going after work?"
"Home," Julien answered briefly.
"Alright." Vanessa was a bit disappointed.
"I mean, our home." Watching the disappointed look on her face, Julien laughed. He reached out and pinched her cheek. "I'll be going back to our home in Mangrove Bay, not Secret Garden." Vanessa broke into a smile. "What would you like for dinner?"
"Anything will do."
Vanessa teased, "What if I serve you grass, would you also eat that?"
"I don't mind if you're willing to eat together with me."
After talking for a long while, they finally parted ways. Shortly after Julien left, Vanessa received a call from him. "Vanessa, you still haven't given me an answer regarding what I asked you last night." Vanessa didn't understand what he was referring to. "What are you talking about?"
"Will you marry me?"
"You should get back to work. I'm going to play with Lawrie." After saying that, Vanessa hung up immediately. Did he expect her to agree to marry him without even planning a proper proposal? He had just asked her casually the night before. And now, he was proposing to her over the phone. His actions showed no sincerity at all. She must be out of her mind if she said yes.
Vanessa glanced toward the direction where Silvia and the kids were. Silvia was having a good time with Lawrie and Larry. Vanessa couldn't help lamenting how unfair the world was. How could God be so cruel to let someone who adored kids so much be infertile?
"Has Julien left?" Silvia turned around and asked.
"Yeah, he went to work." Vanessa added, Silvia, can you keep an eye on the kids? I'm going to the washroom. I'll be back in a jiffy."
"Sure, take your time. I'll take care of them. No worries." With that, Silvia continued having fun with the kids. However, after a long time, she realized Vanessa still had not returned from the washroom. Bringing the two kids along, Silvia went to the washroom nearby to look for Vanessa. There were a lot of people in the washroom, but Vanessa was nowhere to be seen.
Failing to find Vanessa, Silvia dialed her number. However, the call went to voicemail.
Silvia had a bad feeling. She made a call to Julien in a hurry. "Julien, is Vanessa with you?"
