Can't Let Go novel Chapter 181

“Dad...no... Don’t leave me don’t leave Laura...”

Boom! There was a sudden clap of thunder.

The little one who was tucking in her bed was waken and gave out a exclaim, “Dad...”

It was dream. It was Dream again.

The small hand of hers wiped tears stains on her face.

She dreamed of the very night when her father left again.

It had already been ten days since her father was gone..

But she still couldn’t accept this fact.

The door was knocked. A low and masculine voiced echoed from the other side of the door, “Miss, is anything alright?”

“No, I’m fine...” Laura Su replied in a hurry.

“Okay. If you need anything, just let me know!”

The sound of that man’s footsteps faded away.

Laura glanced around the room with her big, wide－open and tearful eyes. A sense of terror suddenly stroke her.

She huddled herself up, and and curled up to the bedside.

This was not the Su family.

This was the Huo family in Austral City,

the richest man in the city－－Uncle Huo’s family...

Uncle Huo...

She had never had the chance to see that mysterious guy thought she had been here for three days.

Butler Pan had told her to call him Uncle Huo...

Well...

He must be an old guy!

The moment just before her father’s death, he made a phone call.

Soon after his father’s funeral was well finished,

she was sent to Austral City and was kept in this huge and isolated mansion...

The pouring rain just didn’t seem to stop outside her window.

While she couldn’t fall asleep this night.

She picked up her mobile phone with a cartoon shell. It was 1 a.m. in the morning...

Her stomach rumbled.

Okay...

Her belly was protesting.

She recalled that she didn’t eat much last night.

She didn’t like this place for she had to obey so many rules here.

Butler Pan had said that she was not allowed to speak during the meal.

He had also noted that no phone when she was eating.

Of course, no sound could be made at the table...

But she was used to talk with her dad when having meals.

She also liked to watched her favorite cartoon with her dad at the table.

What’s more, she preferred to smacked her lips to attract her dad’s attention...

But now...

Tears welled up in her eyes. Her lips twitched as if she wanted to restrain from bursting into tears.

Out of a sudden, she just failed to hold them back...

After a while, the girl stopped crying as she felt her belly was aching.

Hungry, she’s really hungry.

She got out of the bed barefoot, opened the door and was about to see what was like outside...

For an instant, a maid appeared from nowhere.

“Miss, what would you like?”

Laura was shocked and “Bang”, she shut the door.

She really didn’t like this place.

There were maids everywhere in this giant castle.

she felt that she was being watched 24 hours a day.

Soon, the door was knocked once again.

“Miss!”

Butler Pan called from the other side of the room door.

Laura slightly frowned her eyebrow, traipsed to the door, looked out and smiled awkwardly to ask, “Uncle Pan, are you calling me?”

“Miss, what do you want?” Butler Pan inquired patiently.

“Gu——”

Before she had the chance to reply him, her belly was protesting loudly.

Suddenly, she felt embarrassed that her face flushed.

Then Butler Pan said accordingly, “So you must be hungry. Let’s go to the kitchen. The chef is here. What do you wanna have?”

On hearing this, the girl beamed and walked out of her bedroom, “I want noodles!”

But Butler Pan frowned and said, “Miss, you forgot your shoes!”

Laura looked down, stuck out her tongue and dashed back to wear her shoes.

Then she just followed Butler Pan downstairs.

“Uncle Pan, it’s too late. Why chef’s not sleeping at this moment? Does he have to be on duty?” The girl asked curiously.

Butler Pan still held the iconic calm expression and replied slowly, “Because Mr Huo is having his meal downstairs.”

“Ah, so Mr Huo is hungry...”

She was suddenly stuck, stooped stepping down the stairs and gazed at Butler Pan.

“Uncle Pan, are you saying... Mr Huo, no, Uncle Huo... is having his meal downstairs?”

“Correct!”

Laura was speechless for a moment.

“Are you alright, Miss?”

Butler Pan saw her stop and bite her lips as if she was pretty anxious.

“No, nothing. I’m just... curious about Uncle Huo having meal late at night...”

“Mr Huo’s always busy. He has lots of business meetings and banquets. He couldn’t have his meals on time. So the kitchen will prepare his midnight snack everyday in case he would be feeling like eating some one day.” Uncle Pan explained evenly.

“Well...” The girl answered in a little voice and continued to follow him downstairs.

But numerous doubts were occupying her mind when she was going down.

She was desperate to know what that custodian uncle was like.

Did he have potbelly? Middle－aged? Or very easy－going?
