But the best guest room was directly above Jared’s bedroom.
"Alright, let’s have so food first. I didn’t eat anything before rushing back," Titus said, carrying Timmy to the dining table.
He paused midway, "Sister-in-law, you haven’t eaten yet, right? Why don’t you join us for a bit?"
"No need, I’m not hungry," lody Thorne said as she walked upstairs, but worried about Timmy, she hesitated and walked back, "Never mind, I’ll eat sothing. It saves the housekeeper from having to reheat it later."
lody sat down and imdiately pulled Timmy close to her, silently eating her al.
"Here, Timmy, have so of this," Titus offered Timmy so at, his gentle gaze filled with affection.
"Thank you, Uncle," Timmy obediently ate the dish Titus had given him.
"Sister-in-law," Titus tried to place so food in lody Thorne’s bowl.
"I don’t like eating food others pick for ," lody declined coldly without looking up, her tone stiff with her inability to hold back her emotions.
Titus retracted his chopsticks to his own bowl without saying more.
After the al, lody Thorne imdiately took Timmy upstairs and locked the door of Timmy’s bedroom from the inside.
The series of actions made Timmy look at her curiously, "Why do we have to lock the door in our own house?"
He still didn’t know that his father had disappeared.
"What if soone around us wants to harm us?" lody didn’t ntion nas, "Keeping the door closed will make it a bit safer."

Her intelligence must have been eaten by a dog in her anxiety, having to be taught by Timmy.
"Alright, I’m joking. Let’s sleep," lody Thorne reached out to ruffle his little head.
"Okay, tell a story," Timmy held out a storybook expectantly towards her.
lody told four or five stories in a row before Timmy finally fell asleep, but she couldn’t fall asleep at all.
lody took out her phone, staring blankly at Jared’s number. She typed a ssage, deleted it, typed it again and deleted, finally succumbed to drowsiness, eyes closing, and she didn’t even know what ssage she sent before dozing off...
In the middle of the night, she heard a lot of footsteps heading upstairs, waking her. She plugged ear muffs into Timmy’s ears and then opened the door.
She saw people going up and down the stairs, appearing nervous.
lody’s lips tightened as she walked upstairs, curious to see what Titus was up to.
With Harold’s people around, he should be cautious, shouldn’t he?
Standing at Titus’s door, she overheard the conversation inside,
"We’ve searched almost everywhere in Crestfall, but given our limited manpower, we haven’t been able to search accurately. It might take a few more days to find him."
"Which places haven’t been searched accurately yet?" Titus stood up, his fists clenching tightly, veins bulging on his arms, struggling to maintain control, even though all the plans seed flawless,
