Holly Andrews glanced at the woman on the bed and reminded Noah Phillips, "Noah, you’ve probably heard the saying, ’A girl changes significantly by the ti she’s eighteen.’ Simply put, a person’s appearance changes with age. A five-year-old girl’s looks will change dramatically by the ti she grows up. So, how do you know this woman is your childhood sweetheart?"
"Do you know how many years I’ve spent looking for her?" Noah didn’t directly answer Holly’s question, asking one in return.
"I know, a long ti."
It was no secret that Noah Phillips had a childhood sweetheart; those who knew him were aware of it.
"A full fifteen years!"
Noah Phillips looked at Sienna Johnson and slowly recounted the hardship of his search. "After my parents took back from the Orphanage, the first thing I did was ask my father to bring Baby ho too, but my family wasn’t willing. Later, I tried many thods, and they finally had no choice but to agree. However, by the ti they went, Baby had already been adopted by soone else."
Holly Andrews asked, "With your family’s influence, shouldn’t it be easy to find an adopted little girl?"
Noah Phillips smiled bitterly. "What if they didn’t truly want to find her?"
"You can’t be serious!" Holly hadn’t expected Noah’s parents to feign compliance, promising their son they would look for Sienna Johnson while not genuinely searching at all.
"Then don’t you hate your parents? If it weren’t for them, you two really would have been ’childhood sweethearts.’"
Noah said magnanimously, "They are my parents, my biological parents. How could I hate them? They were only trying to do what was best for , even if, in my eyes, it wasn’t truly for my benefit."
The sun rose, its light falling on Sienna Johnson’s face, making even the fine hairs there visible. Noah Phillips gazed at her, his eyes filled with intense emotion.
"Holly..."
"Hmm?"
"You have to cure her soon, because..."
"Because of what?"
"I want to marry her."
Holly Andrews choked on his own saliva, staring at Noah Phillips in astonishnt. Noah had been mature and level-headed since childhood—sensible and intelligent. He was the perfect child growing up and beca the perfect adult. As Noah’s friend, Holly had felt imnse pressure since they were young.
"Um, do you even know this sleeping beauty on the bed? And have you asked her if she’s willing to marry you?" Boss, where on earth does your confidence co from? Holly thought.
"I’ve investigated. She’s never been married. Her previous fiancé was rely part of a family alliance; she didn’t like him. What’s more, her ex-fiancé has already married her sister who is not related by blood."
Noah Phillips held her hand. It was scraped and wrapped in gauze. Her nails were smooth and rounded. He looked at her with heartache, speaking gently, "Baby, you have to get better soon. I’ve co to find you as we agreed. You need to get better quickly and keep your promise. You said you’d marry when I ca to find you."
「A month ago, the Desmond Family in Abyanabad.」
When Adrian Desmond wanted to call Walter Klein, he realized his phone was missing. He then rembered he had been looking at a photo of Sienna Johnson on his phone when lanie Carpenter ca in, and he’d casually placed the phone on a chair. Later, flustered by lanie, he forgot to take his phone when he left.
Adrian Desmond returned to the nursery and saw lanie Carpenter holding his phone. Adrian asked discontentedly, "What are you doing with my phone?"
lanie Carpenter pressed the "delete" button, and the recent call record with Sienna Johnson vanished completely. Her heart pounded, but she didn’t feel she had done anything wrong. That woman shouldn’t have existed in the first place. Since she had left, she should never co back.
"Oh, it’s nothing. I saw that you forgot your phone, so I thought I’d bring it to you," lanie replied nonchalantly.
lanie Carpenter walked over and handed the phone to Adrian Desmond.
"Sixth Brother, here’s your phone."
Adrian Desmond looked at the phone, then at lanie Carpenter, took the phone, and said, "I don’t like other people touching my phone."
"I understand. It won’t happen again," lanie replied obediently.
Adrian Desmond took the phone and turned to leave. It wasn’t until much later that Adrian realized how much he had missed in those re ten minutes or so. So very much.
「Bluzell City,」
Lucas Robertson had been searching for Sienna Johnson all this ti, but she seed to have vanished from the face of the earth, impossible to find.
Kiki cried in front of Lucas Robertson, making him extrely frustrated. For the first ti, Lucas found won to be troubleso. If it weren’t for Curly Baby being there, he would have walked out imdiately.
"Can you please stop crying?"
"I’m going to cry! I’m just going to cry!" Kiki cried. "Lucas, you still haven’t found Mai, and you won’t even let cry!"
Lucas Robertson reassured her, "Don’t worry. I will definitely bring Miss Johnson back."
"I don’t believe you. It’s been a month, and you still haven’t found her. Curly Baby is so pitiful; she’s so young and can’t see her mother."
Lucas remained silent.
"SOB, SOB... Curly Baby is just like now," Kiki wailed.
"Stop crying! There are no tissues left." Lucas handed Kiki the last tissue. Kiki, disregarding her image, blew her nose right in front of him. Lucas was thoroughly disgusted.
Kiki was a beautiful woman, and people often said that a beauty still looks pretty even when crying. But when Kiki cried, she looked awful.
"Mai, where did you go? WAH..." Kiki continued to sob.
Curly, who was sleeping, was awakened by the noise. Seeing Kiki crying, the little one seed very unhappy about being disturbed. Her lip trembled, and she burst into loud wails.
The big one and the little one, a pair of crybabies, made Lucas’s head throb.
"Alright, both of you stop crying! I’ll go look, I’ll go look, okay?"
Kiki stopped crying and asked with a choked voice, "Really?"
"Would I dare lie to you?" Lucas Robertson said through gritted teeth.
Kiki bead at Lucas. "Brother Lucas, thank you! You’re such a good person."
Goosebumps erupted all over Lucas. "Just call Lucas, please."
"Wait a mont!"
"What for?"
