Mag-log inBlake's POV
Noah blinked his big eyes and quickly walked down. Patricia immediately put him on her lap, pinched his face, and then pinched his arms. "Noah, you're so thin. Don't you like eating?" Noah immediately shook his head and said, "Patricia, I'm not thin at all. I don't want to become chubby. That way, no girls will like me!" Patricia was instantly amused by Noah. She pointed to me and said, "See? Noah is the younger version of you. He already knows that he has to be a ladies' man at such a young age!" I didn't remember saying such naive things when I was a kid at all. "I called Leo. Maybe he'll be here later." I said. "Really?" Patricia was excited. "I haven't seen him for quite a long time." Emerson pulled a long face. "He doesn't have to be here if he doesn't want to. No one is begging him to come here." Patricia looked at Emerson a little crossly and said, "It's all your fault. Why did you quarrel with him back theOver ten hours later, Leo and a small group of men walked out of the international airport in Germany.Leo looked exhausted, but he adjusted his expression and asked in a low voice, "Did you find anything? Do you know which direction she went?""Yes. She flagged down a taxi after leaving the airport and headed in that direction," The assistant immediately replied.Leo had used his contacts to check the airport's security footage to determine Sunny's destination.A black SUV pulled up. Leo rested his fingers against his lips, his gaze fixed on the window. Even though he had tracked her this far, Germany was huge. How was he supposed to find Sunny?Besides, Sunny was clearly trying to hide from him, which would make the search even harder."Damn it! Is she trying to drive me crazy?" Leo cursed under his breath, feeling like his heart was being torn apart.She didn't even say goodbye. No, she just ran away secretly.Was she really that weak? Did she have so little faith that he could sol
At that, Tabitha's face instantly turned white with anger. She slammed her palm on the table. "Why won't you listen to reason? Are you even my son anymore?""Mom, I'll listen to you on anything else, but I want to decide my own marriage. Since I'm with her, I can't just abandon her."Cedrick stood his ground, sticking to his choice.Tabitha was livid. Her face was pale green, and she was visibly shaking.Could Cedrick really ignore his family just because he found a mate?Benjamin was stunned by his mother's sudden table slap. His hand, holding the menu, froze in mid-air.Eda sighed internally. Cedrick really was a stand-up guy. Jessica was lucky.For a man to argue with his mother over a woman, his feelings must be sincere."Fine, I won't argue with you, but you won't talk about marriage without my permission," Tabitha said angrily, a hint of genuine hurt in her voice.She thought about the son who had never talked back
"All right, let's go. It's almost time," Benjamin said gently.Eda was only three months pregnant, and her bump wasn't showing yet.She still wore her professional suits. Her presence and poise were stronger than most people's.However, her makeup was lighter than before. She had stopped wearing heavy makeup, making her look much fresher.Benjamin stood beside Eda. They looked like a perfect match.When they walked out of the company together, they still attracted many envious glances.Benjamin brought Eda to the reserved restaurant. Tabitha, Benjamin's mother, had already arrived.She didn't have much else to do, so she was enthusiastic about everything."Tabitha!" Eda walked over and greeted her warmly."Eda, you're here. Hurry, sit down! Don't stand," Tabitha was very kind to Eda."Sorry to keep you waiting!" Eda said as she took a seat.Tabitha looked her over and quickly noticed something wrong. "Eda,
The two assistants didn't dare breathe, afraid of Leo's wrath.Leo gripped his phone so hard the veins bulged on the back of his hand. It looked like he wanted to crush his phone."Great. She had the nerve to break up with me unilaterally. How capable of her!"Leo gritted his teeth, mumbling to himself. His eyes flashed red—with anger."Boss, is there anything we can do?" one assistant asked, his voice shaking."Have someone look up Sunny's departure records. Hurry!" Leo forced himself to calm down and decided to handle it rationally.He would absolutely not allow Sunny to break up with him without his consent.It was a total insult to his pride."Yes, sir, I'll arrange the search immediately." The assistant nodded quickly.Given their professional connections and the vast influence of the Royal Pack, finding Sunny's exit records wouldn't be difficult.Ten minutes later, the assistant reported the findings.
"Leo, when you first came in, you asked if Sunny was here. Were you looking for her?" The old woman was sharp and caught on immediately.Leo nodded. "Yes, I am. We had a disagreement. Do you know where she usually goes?""I don't. Our landline broke recently. She called me a while ago using a neighbor's cell phone. She said she was doing great and even sent me a lot of things. She's such a sweet girl!"The old woman couldn't grasp how frantic Leo was. She just kept talking about how much she missed her granddaughter.After finishing his coffee, Leo suddenly decided to leave.Since Sunny wasn't here, he needed to find her somewhere else.He felt sure Moira was hiding something."I have an urgent matter. I promise I'll come back to have dinner with you and Sunny next time. I have to go now!" Leo said. He reached for his wallet, pulled out a card, then thought better of it. He quickly headed toward the door."How much cash do you
Leo gripped the note tightly. As his assistant drove, looking a little spaced out, Leo smoothed the paper out and checked the directions again."Sunny, you are NOT allowed to leave!" Leo repeated the phrase over and over in his mind.He'd always thought he was in control of this relationship. He believed Sunny could never escape his grasp.But now, he felt none of that confidence.He realized no one could dominate in love.Sunny looked fragile, yet Leo was far more invested in this relationship than she was.She probably couldn't grasp how desperately a person who had been lonely for a long time would cling to that sweet, warm feeling once they finally tasted it.It was like a fish needing water—a frantic, almost insane craving."Boss, we're taking the exit now. We didn't take a wrong turn, did we?" The assistant still looked bewildered."No. Exit here, then navigate again," Leo ordered in a low voice.The black SUV turned off the freeway and sped towards its destination.They were su
