Both Leila and Melissa lost their appetite. They took a few bites and went back to their own bedrooms, as if some monsters were chasing them
When she was in her bedroom, Leila remembered something which was interrupted by Melissa just now. She took out her phone and dialed a number.
"Hello, Benjamin. Can you help me look for a girl? It isn't like looking for a needle in a haystack. I will text you three locations. Can you do me a favor and go to those places?" Leila asked sincerely.
"Leila, we're friends. Sure, I will be glad to help you. Text me later. And remember to send me a picture of the person you are looking for so that I can recognize her." Benjamin said yes to Leila, which made her breathe a sigh of relief. She needed to find Shirley in three days. It would be an impossible mission if she did it on her own, since time was limited. She decided to ask for help.
"Thank you so much, Benjamin. I will text you now."
"No problem. It's just to lift a linger."
"I really appreciate it, Benjamin. Please call me if you have any updates. She's a missing child from my relatives. We're very worried now." Leila exaggerated it, trying to make Benjamin be serious about this.
Benjamin was startled. A missing child was a big issue. He fully understood Leila's anxiety and worry, so he assured Leila from the other end of the phone, "I promise, I will try my best to find the kid and bring her back to you as long as I find her."
Leila still couldn't fall asleep after she hung up. She felt like she couldn't breathe as this issue had been weighing in her mind.
She tossed and turned until midnight.
At midnight, Leila was so anxious that she got up and sneaked out from her bedroom.
She tiptoed to Sheryl's bedroom. She opened the door easily and slipped into it.
It was very dark inside. Wind shook the curtain against the window. Leila walked to the window in darkness and opened the window very carefully. The bright moonlight shone through the window and into the bedroom. Leila got to study Sheryl under the moonlight.
Sheryl was sleeping. She looked quite and paleness didn't reduce her beauty at all. Her skin was as smooth and white as milk. Her lips were perfect and her eyelashes were thick and long, like a baby doll. She had the cutest button nose. Her neck was as slender as an axe rod and below it were her sexy collarbones.
Sheryl was like the sleeping beauty.
However, the more beautiful and peaceful Sheryl was, the more eager Leila was to destroy her.
Leila was jealous of Sheryl's beauty. She wished that Sheryl could disappear in this world forever so that Sheryl could not distract Charles' attention any more.
Sheryl used her pretty face to seduce Charles! Leila got angrier and angrier. Why could Sheryl sleep tight here. Why could she have two wonderful kids? And why could she enjoy all Charles' love and care?
