Crossroads Confessions by Deirdre Augus novel Chapter 257

Chapter 257 

Molly called the Wellingtons residence, and Sandra from Breeze Villa answered. She was fairly polite, making Molly feel that this lady was the most warm–hearted person in the Wellingtons.

“You mean Mrs. Well..” Accustomed to the old title, Sandra awkwardly corrected herself, “You mean Ms. Reed is m

Though she didn’t like the Wellington family, Molly spoke as pleasantly as she could, knowing she needed their help, “Yes, that’s right. She’s stilli fully recovered and has been very weak. I’m worried that something might happen to her if she wandered off. The last time she left, she went straight to Wellington Villa I just wanted to check if she might have gone there again this time. Sandra, could you please ask the guards at the gate? They should know. 

“Hold on. I’ll check for you.” Sandra responded positively 

Hearing her willingness to help. Molly sighed in relief. 

The Wellington family always felt unapproachable, making every request feel like a humbling experience. This bitter feeling made her wish for a simpler life among regulars. 

“She hasn’t come by Sandra quickly reported back. 

Stephanie hadn’t gone to Wellington Villa Molly hoped she wouldn’t seek out Dominick again. 

Still uncertain. Molly hesitated. “Could you ask Dominick…. 

Before she could finish, Sandra had already anticipated her request and declined. “Ms. Snuggleton, I’ll help as much as I can, but we servants have no right to interfere in Mr. Wellington’s business” 

Molly listened and fell silent. She didn’t want to make things difficult for Sandra, but her refusal was disheartening 

In a low, slightly mocking tone. Molly murmured, “I remember Stephanie and Dominick haven’t officially signed the divorce papers yet so quick to sever ties were they afraid she might cling to the Wellingtons! 

Sandra was taken aback at her words. It was true that the divorce wasn’t finalized yet, but from what she had heard lately, Stephanie was unlikely to stay because Dominick was highly resistant to having a “stranger around. 

“What’s going on?” A woman’s voice called out from the entrance of Breeze Villa, catching sight of Sandra with the phone, her expression puzzled. Sandra looked up, surprised, and greeted. “Ms. Isaac,” 

Molly heard this clearly. Her anger surged upon hearing the name again. Hayley was like an unwelcome ghost haunting her thoughts

“Never mind. Thanks, I hang up now” Unable to control her emotions, Molly’s cone turned cold Without waiting for a response, she hung phone. 

Sandra listened to the dial tone from the phone, her expressi 

-expression growing somber, 

“Who was that just now?” Hayley walked over with her usual grace. Living in the guest room of Wellington Villa’s main house, she already seemed like the lady of the house. 

Sandra responded honestly, “It was one of Ms. Reed’s friends.” 

“Molly?” Hayley guessed immediately. Stephanie hardly had any friends 

“Yes.” Sandra looked at her and, remembering something, softened her voice and asked, “Ms. Isaac, are you going to see Mr. Wellington? Could you pass on a message!” 

“What is it?” Hayley, always smooth in her interactions, saw a favor being asked and smiled generously. She said, “Just tell me what’s going on. I know Dominick has been in a bad mood lately, but don’t worry. I’ll talk to him. If it’s nothing serious… 

“Ms. Reed is missing. I wanted to ask if Mr. Wellington has any news, Sandra explained. 

Hayley’s smile froze. “Stephanie is missing? Her tone was incredulous. 

“I don’t have all the details. Ms. Snuggleton called and mentioned that Ms. Reed hasn’t been feeling well. She’s worried something might happen to her if she’s out wandering around,” Sandra said. 

Having seen Stephanie love with the Wellingtons for almost a year, especially in Breeze Villa, Sandra had developed a soft spot for her. Hayley’s forced smile

o leave. 

Sandra watched Hayley’s elegant figure ascend the stairs, feeling a pang of discomfort. Maybe it was because Stephonic had once been in this house. After all, they were different.

“Ms. Isaac, Mr. Wellington isn’t in the study. He’s in the nursery on the third floor. Sandra called out, remembering. 

‘Dominick is in the third–floor mursery Hayley continued up the stairs with composure, though her steps were slightly heavier. 

Breeze Villa’s third floor nursery was over 2000 square feet, decorated in whimsical colors, filled with cartoon plush toys, and lined with rows of crystal–clear wind chimes. It was a lovingly prepared nursery, now eerily quiet and cold 

The window was open, and sunlight streamed in, bringing warmth. The light highlighted Dominick’s tall silhouette, standing by a pale blue wardrobe and holding two identical baby outfits, Twin outfits. 

“What’s the matter?” he asked as he heard footsteps approaching without turning around, his deep voice even and calm. 

Seeing him gaze intently at the tiny clothes in his hands, Hayley paused at his words. Sandra’s message hovered on her lips but remained unsaid, 

Teasingly, she said, “Can’t I come see you without a reason?”
