Natalie Wheeler saw that it was Jasper Milton was calling her. After hesitating for a while, her anger got the best of her and she declined the call.
Eli Wayne turned to Natalie and smiled to change the topic. “Since you don’t have to go to work anymore, let’s go on a trip. I’ve thought about it, our usual travels are nothing more than looking at the mountains and the sea. Since we have more time, let’s go somewhere special. I’m thinking of the desert and icy mountains.”
“Let’s go to Chile then. It’s the country closest to the South Pole, and there is a desert in the north. It’s also close to Argentina, so we can go there too.” Natalie suggested. She also wanted to go on a relaxing trip. She felt depressed, especially after whatever that had happened with Jasper.
“Argentina is famous for its beef, gems, football and tango, isn’t it?” Eli asked excitedly.
“Well, it’s a country with a strong national culture.” Natalie said with a smile.
Back then, she was locked up in the ward and she thought that she would die for sure. She wanted to see things that she had never seen before, so she often watched programs that introduced the different countries all around the world. Hence, she knew a little about them.
“You know a lot. We’ll set off tomorrow. I’ll take my baby with me and come back after a few months. I’ll pay for all the expenses. Hahahaha, Sean is not around, so I don’t have to listen to him. This will definitely make him angry.” The more Eli thought about it, the happier she was.
Natalie saw that Eli was in a good mood, so she also smiled. However, there was a bitterness in her heart that she refused to show. She did not want to worry Eli and stop her from having fun.
Her cell phone rang again. Seeing that it was still Jasper, she frowned and answered the phone.
“Is Dante with you?” Jasper asked directly.
Natalie paused and digested Jasper’s words. Suddenly, a surge of anger rushed into her brain. Her eyes widened in surprise and she asked worriedly, “Did Dante disappear again?”
“He’s not with you? If he’s with you and you’re purposely not telling me, I will sue you for abduction.” Jasper said coldly.
“You are Jasper Milton. Would I dare to abduct your child?” Natalie angrily hung up the phone.
“What’s wrong?” Eli asked worriedly.
Natalie looked around and said worriedly, “Dante is missing. I am worried that something bad might happen to him. Let’s not sing now. Let’s look for him together.”
“Oh, okay. Let’s split up and look for him. We’ll call each other if either of us finds him,” Eli said frankly.
“Okay, Dante, Dante.” Natalie shouted and walked toward the restaurant again, but she did not see Dante.
She asked a passer-by, “Hello, have you seen a seven-year-old boy? He’s about 1. 35 meters tall, wearing a white short-sleeved shirt.”
“No.” The passerby shook his head.
Natalie asked all the way to the restaurant, but there was no sign of Dante. She went to the fishing place to ask, fearing that Dante might have fallen into the lake.
“Hello, have you seen a seven-year-old boy? He’s about 1. 35 meters tall, wearing a white short-sleeved shirt. He’s very handsome.” Natalie asked the man who was fishing.
The man shook his head.
Natalie’s eyes became dim. She raised her head and saw Jasper, who also came over to look for Dante.
There was anger in her heart. She rolled her eyes at Jasper, turned around, and wanted to leave. After thinking for a while, she took a deep breath, turned around again, and walked toward Jasper.
“This holiday center is very big. I’m afraid that we will take a long time with just us. The longer it takes, the more dangerous it will be for Dante.
But there are many security guards here. There should be photos of Dante on your mobile phone. Please find the security department and ask them to search for him too. If Dante is found, call me,” Natalie said coldly.
“You care about Dante very much.” Jasper looked at Natalie suspiciously, as if he was making an observation.
Natalie scoffed. “Although I don’t know the specific reason for your dismissal, I do like this child very much. I don’t want anything to happen to him. When I find him, I will call you. Don’t worry, I won’t abduct him.”
Jasper looked at Natalie with a serious look.
The reason why he dismissed her was that she was too similar to Stella Grace.
Her voice was similar, her personality was similar, and even her experience was quite similar. Because they had so much in common, he was instinctively cautious toward her. He was afraid that she was sent by someone with ulterior motives.
Dante was Stella and his child, so he didn’t want to make any mistakes.
Natalie was like a time bomb to him. He could not take a risk on her.
“Then I’m afraid l have to trouble you.” Jasper said coldly and turned around.
Looking at his thin back, Natalie was so angry that she didn’t set off immediately. She grabbed the mud on the ground, threw it at Jasper, and hit him on the shoulder.
Jasper frowned and looked at her with a mean look in his eyes.
Natalie patted the mud off her hand and raised her chin. “Since you are no longer my boss, I don’t have to endure your bad temper.”
She turned around and went looking for Dante. It was more important than being angry with Jasper.
Jasper patted the mud off his shoulder and frowned even harder.
Her temper was exactly the same as Stella’s. She usually looked gentle and weak, but when she was angry, she was very strong, sharp, and tough. She didn’t show mercy to others even when she spoke.
Because she was so similar, it made him even more resistant. But she was right. He should head to the security department. The more anxious he was, the more disoriented he became. At least the surveillance videos would be useful.
An hour later, Natalie, who was still looking for Dante, received a call from Jasper. “Dante is not in the park. You don’t have to look for him here.”
Natalie was even more worried. “It will be even more dangerous if he left the premises. Do they have surveillance outside too? The road surveillance should show which direction he went, right?”
“Before he left, he said that he wanted to go home. I thought that he really wanted to go home, but now I think he meant he wanted to go back to his home in H City. I will find him. Thank you for your hard work.” Jasper said coldly and hung up the phone.
Natalie was worried and was still uneasy. She called Eli and said, ” Eli, stop looking. Dante is not here. Let’s meet at the gate.”
After a while, Eli ran over, panting. “Where is the kid now? Have you found him?”
Natalie looked at Eli with reddened eyes and shook her head. She was sad and said, “Dante said that he wanted to go home before he left. The home he said should be his hometown in H City. If Dante was happy with Jasper, he would not have wanted to go back to the mountains… He must have been unhappy staying with Jasper.”
At this point, Natalie’s eyes deepened.
“Don’t you know Jasper? He’s quiet, cold, and stern. He’s used to being high and mighty. No child will like him.” Eli comforted her.
“Eli, I’m sorry. I won’t be in the mood to travel before Dante is found.” Natalie said apologetically.
Eli hugged Natalie and said, “I understand. If something happens to my baby, I will definitely not have the mood to travel and have fun either. Let’s go. I will send you back to the hotel first.”
