"Well, tell me, what did they follow up?"
Matthew sneered when he listened to the man's report on the other end of the phone, his eyes were scornful and treated those reports with contempt.
"They've already found out that the woman in the car is not Ms. Cox. Andrew Bask and his followers were investigating the place where Ms. Cox went missing rigorously. Mr. Scott, should we take action?"
"No rush, it'll be interesting to see how good they can be."
"Yes, Mr. Scott."
"Tell me immediately if there is any change and remember to delete the call log completely."
"Yes."
"Send more people to monitor Andrew's actions, and you all must never expose yourselves."
"Got it, Mr. Scott!"
The phone was hung up, it was six o'clock in the morning here, and the sun had just risen.
Since the season here was the transition from late spring to early summer, dawn always appeared very early on this beach.
Matthew woke up early and received an emergency call.
On the other hand, a woman, who was still asleep, was lying on the bed alone. She slept on her side like a noble ragdoll which would curl itself up into a little ball when it slept.
As mentioned in the book, these kinds of people generally felt insecure, and they were lonely deep down inside.
Her long hair was like beautiful seaweed, hanging down on the king-size bed where she slept alone.
He walked over, looking at her who was still in her dream, he couldn't control his lips to approach her face and gave her a gentle kiss on the forehead.
Only when he kept having physical contact with her, he could better understand how it felt like to own her – it was very comfortable.
Today was the first day, which was rather meaningful. After all, she had promised him by herself yesterday.
Sarah stayed asleep until nine o'clock, she didn't wake up automatically, but was awakened by the loud sound of the waves.
"You're awake?"
"...Yeah."
In front of her, his figure was standing there/ He had prepared breakfast for her and just waited for her to wake up.
It seemed that he had spent a lot of time on it.
Sarah's consciousness was still in confusion, rubbing her eyes and looking at him, her vision was blurry.
Her messy long hair fell over irregularly and stuck on the corner of her mouth; her baby hairs stuck up disorderly while there was still a glazed look in her eyes.
"Didn't sleep well?"
Sarah shook her head, "No."
She touched her neck, wondering if her habit was too terrible. Sleeping alone, she was engulfed by a feeling of emptiness without the body wall that would suddenly lean against her back as ever.
Matthew walked over to her and the cup and facial cleansing brush were all ready for her, she didn't need to take even a step.
"I'll do it myself," Sarah felt that she was not so fragile, and she was also not really used to being treated like a useless person.
Matthew didn't insist on it, just looked at her quietly.
Sarah noticed a glimmer of light unexpectedly glittered in his eyes which were cold and lonely all the year round.
His look was soft, not as frosty as before.
She didn't know whether to laugh or cry. In short, the process of brushing her teeth and washing her face was done with his "help".
"Are these all your cooking?"
On the dining table, there were all her favorite dishes, why would he know her taste very well?
Sometimes she would wonder whether Matthew paid too much attention to her or she didn't pay enough attention to him.
"By the way, I want to tell you one thing."
Sarah stopped the movement in her hands and looked at him silently with her eyes slightly cautious.
Matthew looked no different, "Go ahead."
"Can I have a check-up for my baby? I haven't paid much attention to him, I want to know if he is healthy and safe."
At this moment, he only looked toward her. His thin lips were stained with the paste, and the tip of his tongue licked it away softly. His movement was soft and slow, unintentionally making him look elegant and handsome.
He smiled, "Can."
