After hanging up the phone, Rex commends Adair to the housekeeper and nurse and tells them to take
good care of him. Then after saying goodbye to his grandparents, Rex leaves alone.
Amber Café is a well-known coffee shop with high-quality ingredients and professional coffee makers.
Many people like going there, so it is crowed now in the day.
Rex feels confused about why Vivian chose such a place. Because considering her condition now, she
will not like such an environment. But he doesn’t think too much. He knows how desperate that woman
wants him, so what he needs to do now is to meet her there and stop her from sending out those fake
photos of Lily.
But Rex is surprised to find that Vivian doesn’t show up in the café at all. To be more accurate, Vivian
didn’t plan to meet him at all. After hanging up the phone, she rushes to drive to his grandparents’
house. Her hands grasping the steering wheel are slightly sweaty, and she keeps checking her phone,
afraid that Rex may call her.
She must arrive at his grandparents’ house before Rex reaches the café.
Vivian never dares to drive at over 100 mph, but now she travels at over 120 mph. She grits her teeth
and steps on the gas, with the car speeding on the broad highway like an arrow from a bow.
It only takes her twenty minutes to drive from home to his grandparents’ house. However, she doesn’t
directly enter the neighborhood. Instead, she pulls over at an inconspicuous place by the roadside and
hides at a turning. Then she takes out another phone and dials the telephone number of his
grandparents’ house.
After several rings, the telephone is picked up by the nurse.
“Hello?”
Vivian’s heart is beating fast and she looks at the entrance of the neighborhood. She holds down the
panic in her heart and tries to speak in a steady voice, “Hello, I am Adair’s teacher from kindergarten,
and may I speak to Audrey?”
Audrey is the name of Rex’s grandma. In all these years, for the sake of Rex, few people dare to call
her by this name. So, the nurse is a bit shocked before moving the telephone farther from her mouth,
“Please wait a minute.”
A while later, an old voice comes from the other end of the phone, “Hello?”
“Hello, Ms. Wu, I am Adair’s teacher from kindergarten. Mr. Rex asked to me hand you the admittance
paperwork for you to sign just now. Are you available now? I am at the entrance of your neighborhood.”
Vivian says all of this in one breath, afraid that something may go wrong.
Hearing this, Audrey pauses and then asks in surprise, “You are Adair’s teacher?”
She knew from Rex before that he had chosen a kindergarten for Adair. But back then he said it was
still under discussion. So, it is settled now?
Vivian’ fingers grasping her phone tightened up, “Yes, it is just an application paperwork which needs a
fingerprint from Adair. I have brought it with me so that you can have a look.”
“Are you at the entrance now?”
“Yes, you just need to take Adair to the entrance.” Vivian raises her waist and looks at her watch,
“Because I have to go to other places later, please hurry.”
After all, Audrey is quite old now. Therefore, when she hears this, she doesn’t suspect anything. She
thinks nobody will know about this kind of thing beside Adair’s families, so she answers, “Okay, please
wait, and we will start off now.”
After hanging up the phone, Audrey waves to Adair and says to him, “Come on, let’s go outside.”
Adair is playing with a bubble machine in the yard. But the yard is too small for him to play, so he
wanted to go outside a long while ago. Now hearing what his great grandma says, his eyes are
lightened up, “OK! Yeah!”
The nurse is a bit worried, “Should I arrange a car for you?”
“There is no need. It’s just a few steps. We can walk.” Audrey waives her hand. Though she is quite
old, her physical condition is still pretty well. And it pleases her to spend more time with Adair.
After all, the nurse is a servant. She can’t stop them from going out alone and can only watch them
leaving.
It is not a long walk from their villa to the entrance. They keep talking while walking, and soon they
arrive. Adair is very thoughtful and grasps Audrey’s hand in case she would fall.
At the entrance, watching the empty street, Audrey is about to mumble. But at this moment, the phone
in her hand rings up. It is the number before, and she picks up, “Hello, teacher. We are at the entrance
now. Where are you?”
Vivian is behind them and has already seen what is going on. But she is not in a haste and pretends to
ask in confusion, “Haven’t you seen me? I am at the right of the entrance.”
Audrey looks at the right but still sees nothing.
“I didn’t see you...”
“Are you still far from me? How about you walk forward for a few steps. The security doesn’t allow me
to park at the entrance and they don’t allow me to go in either. I am just a few steps forward.” Then
Vivian reaches her head out and watches them.
As expected, Audrey is walking forward. But she keeps holding Adair’s hand.
Vivian slightly bites her lip. This is not going to work. She can’t get them to separate. So, she needs to
think of other ways.
While she keeps asking Audrey to walk forward and tries to figure out how to separate them, an
opportunity suddenly comes!
Adair lets go of Audrey’s hand because he wants to play. He holds the bubble machine and circles
around on the spot. Audrey stops and waits for Adair, but she keeps looking around trying to find the
“teacher”.
Finally, here comes a chance. Vivian’s heart is beating very fast and she can’t hold down her
excitement. Her voice is almost trembling, “Keep walking, just a few steps away!”
Hearing what she says, Audrey feels like she can see her at the next second. So, she doesn’t think too
much and keeps walking. At this moment, Vivian gets in the car, steps on the gas and drives next to
Adair at a fast speed.
Adair is playing with his bubble machine, and Audrey is still looking ahead trying to find the “teacher”.
Vivian gets off the car and seizes Adair’s collar before lifting him up in the air and shoving him into the
car.
Adair screams and Audrey turns around immediately. When seeing Vivian, Audrey freezes for a
moment, during which Vivian gets on the car and locks it.
She steps fully on the gas and the car dashes out like an arrow shooting from a bow. When Audrey
regains her consciousness, she can only see the back of the car which soon disappears in her sight.
Greatly shocked, Audrey cries out and her eyes turn red before she can start talking. She can barely
hold her phone. She dials several wrong numbers before getting in touch with Rex, “Rex, something
went wrong. Adair, Adair, was abducted by Vivian!”
At this moment, Res just pulls over before Amber Café. He receives Audrey’s call when he is about to
get off the car. Hearing what Audrey says, Rex freezes up and cold sweat starts oozing out of his back.
His face turns pale and coldness rises up in his eyes, “Where are you know?”
