Yannie's brow furrowed upon hearing his question.
Only then did she recall and tell him that Luna had invited them over to meet with Joshua's cousin.
Thomas did not answer immediately.
After a while, he furrowed his brow and looked at the time.
"Where are we meeting them?"
Looking at the family tree, Sean was the son of Joshua's aunt.
Theoretically speaking, this 'nephew' was counted as Thomas' relative, too.
When Thomas was young, he remembered hearing about Joshua's aunt from his aunt that had
mentally regressed.
Even after his aunt had gone crazy, she remembered that Joshua's aunt was a kind and gentle person
who treated her very nicely.
Since they could not locate Riley and had no further information about Denise for the time being, it did
not hurt for them to go to meet Sean.
"You...want to go?"
Yannie looked at Thomas with surprise, unable to believe her ears.
"I thought..."
She thought he would be angry and reject meeting Joshua's cousin.
"Thought what?"
Thomas gave Yannie a helpless look.
He pulled her into his arms and pressed her head to his chest.
"You thought that I'd reject the meeting and blame you, right?"
Yannie bit her lip and remained silent.
In the end, she nodded.
She...did think so.
He sighed helplessly and patted her head.
"What's in that little head of yours? Am I that fierce?"
She pursed her lips and nestled in his arms to feel the warmth from his chest.
"Yeah..."
"I guess I didn't treat you well enough."
Thomas smiled and cocked up his head to look at the far distance.
"When we find Riley back...I'll make it up to you and her."
At least, he would only let them leave when he had atoned for his sin.
"Okay..."
Yannie closed her eyes and listened to his breathing.
For some reason, she felt safe.
After a while, she pursed her lips and said, "Hey...Do you think Denise would treat Riley badly?"
"No,"
Thomas answered resolutely.
"You saw it too.When Denise and Tina were planning to kidnap Riley, they appeared together.However,
until the very end, Tina is no longer associated with Riley, so Denise must've kept her away
somewhere properly.
"She knew how important Riley is to me.If she knew Tina was in prison, she'll treat Riley nicely—if
she's capable of rational thinking, of course.Using Riley in exchange for my forgiveness is her last
resort."
It slightly comforted Yannie and gave her some security.
If things worked out as smoothly as Thomas said...Riley should be safe and in a good place for the
time being.
"Let's go meet Mr.Lynch's cousin now, then we can focus on looking for Riley.We can also ask his men
to aid us."
"Okay."
Thomas smiled.
He held Yannie's hand while getting into the car.
"Give me the address.We'll go over there now."
In a private room in a five-star hotel in Saigen City.
Luna was surprised to see Denise entering the room together with Sean.
"Why are both of you together?"
"We'd been together for the whole day now."
Denise smiled awkwardly as she sat down across from Luna.
"I've seen today's news.Mr.Lynch, you're very powerful and have good taste."
Luna furrowed her brow vehemently.
This was not the time when she wanted to hear compliments.
"Denise, do you know Thomas is coming later? Why did you come here? Are you not concerned for
your life?"
