Darcie's expression eased, “Don't say things like that. Just talk to me before making any decisions next time. Don't take matters into your own hands. I know you have good intentions, but what you did might end up causing trouble for Jaylene.”
The man responded, "I understand.”
Darcie was about to say something more when the door suddenly pushed open, startling her. Jaylene rushed in and said, "Mom, Trevor is safe!"
Darcie glowered at her, "Where are your manners? How could you barge in here without knocking?”
Jaylene apologized but still felt very happy. She walked over to hold Darcie's hand and said excitedly, "Trevor wasn't in the private plane. He took a commercial flight back instead. I knew that such bad things would never happen to him.”
She paused momentarily before asking, "Mom, why are you not surprised?"
Darcie said helplessly, "Your dad called and told me about it already.
"Why didn't you tell me? I've been crying for so long,”
Jaylene complained as she glanced at Darcie’s phone. *Mom, who are you talking to on the phone?’ she asked curiously.
Darcie remained calm as she said flatly, “An old classmate.”
As soon as she said that, the person on the other end said,”Hey, Jaylene.”
Jaylene was taken aback. That man's voice carried an
indescribable emotion, making her feel strangely uneasy.
However, she politely responded anyway, “Hello, mister."
That man paused for a moment, and his breathing became heavier. He did not speak for some time.
Jaylene asked after the silence, ‘Mom, what is your classmate's last name? How should I address him?”
Darcie did not answer that question but said, "Go downstairs and tell Sandra to prepare some dishes that Trevor likes. They're coming back in a while to have dinner with us.”
Jaylene looked a little confused but did not ask any more questions. Then, she turned around and left.
Darcie looked at her phone and found out that the call had not been disconnected yet. After a moment of silence, she said, "Just wait for a bit longer. When the time is right, I'll tell her everything.”
The man uttered a disappointed “okay” and remained silent for a long time before saying, "I saw her at the place you were living with her last time. She has grown so much."
Darcie's face darkened, "You came to our neighborhood?”
"I-I was just passing by.”
The Saun family lived in a guarded neighborhood, so it was impossible for him to just casually pass by their house.
Darcie's blood boiled with anger, but she managed to hold herself back, "Don't do this anymore. What do you expect us to do if the security guard catches you?"
The man said hoarsely, "I just miss my child so much.”
"I'll send you pictures of Jaylene later. We talked about this before. Whatever we do, we have to put our child first.”
"I know,” the man responded.
Darcie then said something to make the man feel better before ending the call.
She contemplated and decided to make a call to her friend in Mystonia, just in case...
Stella was the one driving. Everyone thought she would head straight back to the Saun residence, but she detoured to Vinci Rivera.
Once they arrived, she turned to Keegan, who was sitting in the front passenger seat. She said, "Mr. Kane, you can go now.”
Keegan was at a loss for words. He then looked at the closed gates of the building and pursed his lips, "Today is a holiday.”
“Oh,” Stella said flatly. “That's great. It's a good time for you to work peacefully. Don't you love working overtime?”
Wenham and Trevor exchanged glances, each seeing the same thought in each other's eyes—Keegan was in trouble.
Keegan kept quiet for a while before saying, "I want to celebrate New Year too.”
Trevor and Wenham were both speechless.
