Chapter 0120
As Sam was heading out of the restaurant, he bumped into Hansel, who was just showing up for breakfast. Hänsel frowned as he discreetly scanned the area, but Miranda was nowhere in sight.
Ingrid caught him searching and played it cool. “Dear, are you looking for something?”
Hansel shifted his attention to her and said, ou shouldn’t have insisted on coming with that injury on your leg.”
“Sure, I could’ve had breakfast in the room, but I’ve been cooped up too long. I need to stretch my legs and get some air, or I’ll start to mildew,” she replied, playfully sticking out her tongue.
Hansel hummed softly in response. “What would you like to eat?”
“A sandwich and some milk. Thanks, dear.”
By noon, Hansel had scoped out all four restaurants on the island but still hadn’t spotted Miranda. In the afternoon, he took a stroll along the beach, but she was nowhere to be seen.
After dark, Hansel caught sight of Winter at a restaurant on the island that served Bartovian food, but Miranda was still missing.
What made it even more baffling was that, apart from his quick run–in with Sam that morning, he hadn’t seen him around since.

He walked over to Winter. “Miranda left her shawl with me at lunch.

Could you pass it along to her?”
Winter was on a date with a good–looking fellow and didn’t quite catch
Hansel’s words. She blurted out, “Lunch? That can’t be right! She
headed off-”
She stopped short, realizing she’d almost spilled the beans. “Hansel, are you fishing for information?”
Hansel’s look turned piercing. “Where did she head off to? Back to the country?”
Winter rolled her eyes. “Why do you care?”
