What neither Brayden nor Leon knew was that while they were arguing in the office that day, there was a pair of ears pressed against the doorway, listening to their conversation with perfect clarity, and at the moment, the owner of those ears was sitting on the leather couch, uncomfortably comfortable lighting a cigarette.
Blue smoke exhaled from his mouth and filled the air, he crossed his legs in a leisurely manner, the phonograph beside him flooded with the colors of the years, constantly turning and playing a Russian classical music “Red Plum Blossom”.
“Jayden, why did you have to make this news so big.” He flicked off the cigarette ash, “Brother, I’m not bragging, you’re really good at this, even Brayden and Leon got wrapped up in you.”
Jayden’s mouth turned up as he took a sip of the green tea on the table and continued to listen to what the man had to say, “Jayden, why do you think you’re going to all this trouble, it’s not like you haven’t put that woman down after all these years.”
“What do you mean should not, she is an unbearable weight in my life, if I put her down, why would I fly back here from abroad on purpose?”
The man waved off his cigarette: “I can tell you as a brother, that Dolly is not only married, but she has a child. You are not short of money, you are a university professor at a young age, a well-known bachelor in the medical field, why do you have to hang yourself on her tree?”
Jayden drank the tea in his hand in one go.
“You, ah, or too young, people in this life can have a favorite person is not easy, can have a chance to go after the person you like, even more difficult.”
“What, you still plan to break up the two people?” The man raised his eyebrows: “Even if you give people two to get away, but the child that is indisputably true ah, you can really be so generous, so generous as to accompany the woman together, for others to raise the child?”
Jayden didn’t say anything back to him, but instead laughed at his words.
…
“Leon, take a drink of water, don’t sit there alone.” Skyler held a glass in his slender hands and stood timidly behind Leon.
Leon’s hair was tousled and disheveled, and she hadn’t seen this hopeless look on him since she had known him.
“Leon, say something, okay, I’m worried … about you like this,” Skyler saw Leon ignoring her and went up and gently patted him on the shoulder.
“Skyler, we shouldn’t have hidden this from the boss, knowing that we couldn’t hide this kind of thing from him at all, but we chose this stupid way. You know what? The boss looked at me this morning with such disappointment, after we both survived the army, the boss has always trusted me so much, but this time he is really desperate.”
Skyler is also full of guilt, if it wasn’t for her initial hesitation, Brayden and Leon wouldn’t have gotten their relationship so strained now.
The only doubt in her mind was that, according to Dolly’s character, how could she do such a thing to make others misunderstand and make Brayden furious?
Skyler reached out and hugged Leon, who smelled so different from the sunny scent she had when she first met him, and Leon was sad for her.
The two of them are also just married, did not expect to encounter problems so soon, despite the emotional crisis of the friends around, but the relationship between each other can be said to be more than biological siblings.
“… sorry master, madam, it was young grandmother who came here, she said she wanted to take the young master out in the sun, she is the young master’s wife, I see nothing wrong with her taking the child …” The nanny stood in front of them cowering.
Talia was so anxious that she was sweating: “No one answered the phone, she had no problem with the child, but how come she couldn’t bring it back?”
Otto also took the phone and called Brayden, but the line was always busy, and Otto, who has always been very good-tempered, was furious.
He rolled up his sleeves and threw the phone at the sofa: “Busy, I don’t know what I’m busy with all day long, my own son doesn’t care!”
“Do you think he will have a fight with Dolly, this Dolly a angry, take the child away?” Talia frowned and tugged his shirt twice, a sad face: “What if Dolly takes Orion away and won’t let us see him? Orion is the Kirkland Family’s child!”
“Okay, stop it, it’s giving me a headache. Did Dolly’s phone call come through yet?”
Talia was so anxious that she was about to cry: “No, no, just now there was no answer, and now the phone is directly off!”
Otto’s brow knitted tighter and suddenly he reacted, “Leon! Call Leon!”
Skyler patted Leon’s shoulder: “It’s okay, I believe that as long as we truly love each other, we will definitely get through whatever difficulties openly.”
The calm between the two was shattered by a phone ringing, Leon brought the phone to her and the two looked at each other before pressing the answer button, “Hello, is this Uncle Kirkland?”
“Leon, are you with Brayden right now? Do you know where the two of them have taken the baby?”
Leon heard, the whole heart hangs: “I’m not with the boss, what’s wrong, what happened?
Talia grabbed the phone and said, “Dolly doesn’t know where she took Orion, did she and Brayden have a fight, how come she didn’t come back with the baby? Could something have happened out there?”
Leon thought of those evil people before the hateful face threatened in front of Dolly, he also knew that the industry rivals are numerous, want to destroy their relationship countless people, at this time do not dare to put the inner doubts out, a side of Skyler also gulped uneasily.
“Don’t be anxious and don’t worry, I will definitely mobilize all the forces I can, and I will bring the child back safely and securely for you!”
Leon said so, and did so, he contacted all the spare police officers in the police department, pulled out the security camera footage of this villa area that day, and saw that Dolly was indeed carrying the child out of here that day.
Leon followed Dolly’s whereabouts that day and pulled out street surveillance along the way, finally locking in on Dolly’s place of residence.
He was about to go to the house with Skyler to try to persuade Dolly to go home when he suddenly received a call from Brayden.
Brayden told him on the other end of the phone that Dolly had returned and asked him to stop following Dolly’s whereabouts immediately. Both Leon and Skyler were confused.
If the investigation is stopped, does it mean that the misunderstanding between the two people is cleared? If the misunderstanding is cleared, then why Dolly still hasn’t returned with Orion Kirkland?
