Aaron and Wendy went to find Rita together. They even wanted to turn the whole city upside down to look for her, but they didn't see any trails.
In the end, Aaron turned to Frank for help. Frank must have a way to find his wife. He was a playboy who always liked to have fun everywhere. He had a lot of friends, so it was the best way to ask him for help to look for somebody.
Frank was dumbfounded when he received the phone call from Aaron.
'Oh my God! Aaron comes to me for Rita. How could I give him his wife? Doing magic? Oh, come on!' He couldn't tell Aaron the truth about what happened last night. What did he say? To tell him that he was cuckolded? Or his wife was cheating on him?
Frank was at a loss for words. He had no choice but to answer the phone.
"Mr. Aaron, what can I do for you?"
"Rita is missing. Hurry up and find her for me."
Frank pretended not to understand the truth. "What? Your wife is missing again? Why do you quarrel with each other every day? And she always ran away from home after your quarrel, didn't she?"
"What are you talking about? We didn't quarrel."
"No quarrel? No fight? Then why is she missing? Seriously, why do you always ask me to find your wife every time? Do you have nothing else to call me?" Frank pretended to be impatient. In fact, he was scared to death in his heart. If he told the truth to Aaron, he would die miserably! Surely!
"Why are you being so overreacted?" Aaron said in a cold voice. "I asked you to find my wife. She is missing now. Why are you so emotional?"
"Am I being emotional? I am not! Come on!" Frank chose to act nothing seriously. "You ask me to find your wife, right? Hahaha, I'll do it right away."
"Well, hurry up and find her as soon as possible."
"By the way, why does she disappear every day? Aaron, did you hit her or abuse her at home?" Frank was very flustered from the bottom of his heart now. It was really difficult for him keep the secret.
"Fuck! Mind your words!" Aaron now was getting impatient! "Go and find her now."
Frank sighed in his heart. It was really difficult for him that he didn't know how to tell the whole thing to Aaron. But it was not a good idea for Rita to tell him directly. After all, it should be Nina who should take the blame yesterday. If Nina hadn't taken her out for fun in a muddle, she wouldn't have been taken away by Pitt, let alone the later incidents.
Frank felt really frustrated. He hoped he had never met those people before. Could he pretend not to know them and be a stranger, walking away from all this mess?
