Chapter 372
Sunshine was surprised to see Felix frowning. She gently smoothed the furrow between his eyebrows and asked, “But you’re not happy!”
Felix shook his head. He wasn’t unhappy but didn’t know that his parents had divorced. Divorce meant that his parents were no longer together.
Even though Felix was now living abroad with Esther, he still greatly missed his father. He had even naively hoped that his parents would get back together one day.
But now that they were divorced…
After placing Felix and Sunshine in their booster seats, Esther turned to Benz, who had been. silently playing with his phone. “Benz, let’s go.”
Benz opened the passenger door and got in, fastening his seatbelt.
Esther drove Benz to his detective agency. “Benz, thank you for coming with me.”
Before Benz got out of the car, she handed him a check. She had assumed it would take a long time to find Pixie’s whereabouts, but the matter had been resolved faster than she had expected. Even so, she still gave Benz the compensation he deserved.
“Ms. Quill, I haven’t done anything, so I shouldn’t accept this check,” Benz said. He was a hobbyist detective, not a professional.
Esther insisted on giving the check to Benz. “If you don’t want to accept it, you can donate it to charity.”
Benz took the check from Esther and said warmly, “It was a pleasure working with you. Shall we exchange contact information?”
“Sure.”
Benz went upstairs. He watched Esther’s car drive away but couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong. He had been happy for Esther to find Pixie so easily, but it all seemed too convenient. He sensed a conspiracy.
Just as Benz was about to turn away, he noticed a blue Citroen following Esther’s car. He retrieved his motorcycle’s keys and ran downstairs to follow the car from a distance.
When he saw an opportunity, he sped up and blocked the car’s path. The car screeched to a halt a few meters in front of him.
Benz took off his helmet and walked up to the car.
