When Old Sir said he wanted to go back, Jas Black subconsciously began to walk back, but it took him a few ters to realize sothing was wrong. He stopped dead in his tracks as it dawned on him that he hadn’t co out alone. But in just those few minutes, where had Jane Sampson and the Great General disappeared to?
Jas Black quickened his pace and headed ho, convinced that Jane Sampson and the Great General had gone back.
Upon arriving ho, Jas searched the living room first but found no one; then he went upstairs, only to discover that Jane and the Great General weren’t there either.
So, Jane Sampson and the Great General hadn’t co back?
Or were they hiding in so corner of the house?
Jas returned downstairs, his face clouded with concern, and asked, "Where is she?"
"Who?" Old Master Black, who was watching TV, asked casually.
"Jane Sampson," Jas replied, and after saying that, he added, "And the Great General."
"Didn’t you just take them out for a walk? I just saw you co back alone. Where are Jane and the Great General? Don’t tell you lost a woman and a dog on a walk? You took them out, and now you’re asking us to find them?" Old Master Black laughed heartily, "I’m not worried about the Great General; it knows the way ho. If it gets lost, it can find its way back, but if your wife gets lost, that might really be a problem."
"Jane Sampson didn’t bring the Great General back?" Since Old Master Black had helped Jane before, Jas regarded his words with so suspicion. He turned his head to see Oliver Black and his wife looking on as if watching an amusing disaster unfold. Jas then chose to crouch down and ask the handso little boy, "Did your aunt co back just now?"
"Auntie and the Great General haven’t co back since uncle took them out," the little boy answered earnestly.
"Hm," Jas patted the little boy’s head and swiftly turned around to leave the house again.
Jas was surprised that Jane had found a chance to escape but hadn’t taken the Great General with her to sneak back ho first. Could she really be walking the dog alone in the residential community?
In 15 minutes, Jas had looked around near ho without finding anyone. He then called Jane’s mobile phone, but it was constantly showing that she was already on a call.
Jas stood under the tree, frowning. Who could she be on the phone with for such a long ti?
Peter Gingery?
At the thought, Jas dialed Peter’s phone number without hesitation, but to his surprise, Peter’s line wasn’t busy. After only a few seconds of ringing, Peter picked up.
"Hey, Brother? What’s up?" Peter’s voice sounded lazy, probably because he was taking a nap.
"Were you just on the phone with your sister-in-law?" Jas still asked.
"No," Peter replied, confused, "I’ve been taking a nap, haven’t been in touch with her today. What’s up?"
Jas was about to say it was nothing and hang up, but at the last mont, he changed his mind and added, "I’ve been trying to call her, but it’s been busy this whole ti."
This additional comnt, followed by Peter’s casual guess, imdiately caused Jas’s face to darken.
"It’s been busy? Maybe Jane has blocked you," Peter blurted out, clearly still groggy from sleep, "I said sothing wrong last ti and upset her. She blocked for a week. Every ti I called her, I got a notification saying the line was busy."
Peter was about to say a bit more when, the next second, the only sound coming from the phone was a buzzing dial tone.
