Reginald was stunned.
He stopped and scooped up Lochlan with one hand, striding in the direction he pointed, and a group of bodyguards saw them and rushed to follow, but Reginald turned around and yelled angrily, “Don’t follow me!”
If Josephine was really here, she would be scared and run away immediately when she saw this scene.
He stared back at his son sitting on his arm, “Are you sure it is your mom?”
Lochlan nodded firmly and said in a childish tone, “It’s exactly the same as the picture Daddy’s been looking at.”
Reginald’s heart was inexplicably touched, the bottom of his eyes flashed with awkwardness. He moved fast forward, and eyes kept searching around. Regan followed him, “Who are you looking for?
I’m sending extra men to search…”
“Josephine!” Reginald shouted out her name menacingly, his shadowy eyes anxiously sweeping back and forth throughout the marketplace, but he did not see the familiar figure.
Regan hesitated for a moment, nodding. He understood his intention of not letting his bodyguards follow up, and then he joined Reginald for the searching.
But they walked around the market for a long time, but didn’t even find a shadow, let alone a living, breathing human being.
Regan sighed lightly and looked at Lochlan, “Lochlan is growing up and knows to look for his mother. Three years ago, Miss Josephine left with your young daughter, and there was no trace at all in three years. How could she appear in such a small countryside?”
Reginald’s footsteps stiffened, his eyes filled with gloom. He lowered his head to stare closely at Lochlan, and Lochlan was instantly frightened by his intense gazes. He was so scared that he hurriedly lowered his head, his tiny shoulders shrinking.
Reginald turned his head, his eyes swept the marketplace once again, and the corners of his mouth curled into a cold smile. He said with sarcasm, “Regan, am I an idiot?”
Regan looked up and replied seriously, “You are one of the most powerful people I’ve ever seen in this world. Although Mr. Dominic is still holding a grudge against Josephine, I believe you will be able to take the reins of the Barnes family and no one will threat you again.”
Reginald sneered to himself, powerful? Was he so powerful that he failed to find his wife and daughter in three years?
Let her leave with hatred for him and disappear from this world completely?
He walked back coldly without speaking a word, and Regan held Lochlan’s small hand and followed.
The market inspection went smoothly as Reginald expected. Dominic was attracted to this whole plot of land and its market potential for a long time, so he ordered Reginald to come and inspect it personally. Reginald didn’t expect his parents went abroad again at this time, so Dominic simply asked him to bring his son Lochlan along with him.
However, this kid was extremely naughty from the first day. He avoided the bodyguards and escaped to the market when Reginald and his business partners were in the meeting, and Regan was busy with writing down Meeting Minutes.
Josephine was standing in front of a vegetable stall, carefully selecting vegetables her daughter loved. Once she finished, she took the bag and was about to leave, her skirt was suddenly pulled from behind. Josephine turned around and saw an incredibly beautiful little boy.
He looked as older as her daughter, dressed in a black trench coat that didn’t fit his age. He had short hair, and stared at her with dark and round eyes all the time.
Her mind boggled for a moment.
It seemed that she’d seen those eyes somewhere before.
She bent down and covered his little hand and was about to pull him up, but the little boy clutched her skirt stubbornly and wouldn’t let her go. He looked at her and called out, “Mom.”
Josephine’s fingertips trembled hard when she touched his hand, and the shopping bag in her hand almost fell onto the ground.
