After coming out of the prison, I looked up at the gloomy skies. It had been over a month since the sun last came out.
The weather had been cloudy all the while with occasional rain and snow. It was horrible.
However, after the new year, spring would arrive soon.
I glanced at my watch and realized it was time to meet Louis at the Irushean restaurant in the southern suburbs.
When I arrived, John was there. He was parking his car when he spotted me. Raising a brow, he remarked, “You’re early.”
I shrugged. “The same goes to you.”
His lips curved up into a smile. “Uncle Louis told me to come earlier to order the dishes so Mr. Bauman could enjoy dinner with us.”
Oh, I see.
We went upstairs and ordered the dishes before entering our private room.
The vintage-themed room was decorated elegantly. There was a wooden screen at the entrance.
As I was staring at the screen, John told me, “This Irushean restaurant is famous for its vintage decoration.”
I nodded in acknowledgment and took a seat. As I seemed disinterested, John asked, “What’s with Savini?”
Ah, right. I’ve nearly forgotten about that man. “Send someone reliable to Centurion Garden in J City to meet up with Savini’s wife. Tell her to come to K City to visit Savini with the stuff he left with her previously,” I told him.
John lifted his eyebrows in silent assent. “I thought he’s useless to you now? Why did you visit him in prison?”
I rest my chin in my hand, feeling slightly exhausted. “I want to ruin Cameron’s reputation.”
He scrunched up his brows and squinted. “Did Cameron come to you?”
My silence gave him the answer he wanted.
Sighing, he suddenly queried, “Letty, have you ever thought of finding your biological parents?”
His sudden question caught me off guard I thought about it and shook my head. “No. It has been years. They abandoned me in the first place, so that means I wasn’t important to them. Besides, Grandma brought me up. I only need to remember her.”
John pressed his lips together and tried to sound me out. “If you run into your biological parents one day, will you reunite with them?”
