My Husband Wants Me Dead (Esther and Bradley) novel Chapter 400

Chapter 400 

“It’s quite similar,” Esther replied. 

While Esther and Anna were busy, the children remained well-behaved in the castle. Esther made sure to video chat with Felix and Sunshine every other hour, spending about ten minutes to ensure they were behaving. 

Their work occupied them until around 10:00 p.m., and then Anna drove Esther to the adoptive family’s house to retrieve Pixie. 

As they approached, Anna noticed that the villa on the mountainside was completely dark. When they stopped the car in front of the villa’s gate, a drunken man stumbled out and scrutinized their vehicle. 

After confirming that Anna was the one who had been there earlier, he slurred, “Sir and Madam went on vacation!” 

The news hit Anna and Esther like a bombshell. They had previously suspected the family’s intentions, but now they were certain that Pixie was in great danger. 

“Alright, thank you.” 

Anna forced a strained smile and drove Esther to Benz. 

“Hey, ladies.” 

Upon seeing them, Benz casually poured them each a glass of whisky. 

“Benz, I have a new job for you,” Esther said eagerly. “I need you to investigate the recent situation of the children adopted from Maria Church and their adoptive families.” 

Anxious that Benz might decline the task, Anna urgently added, “Benz, we need your help. This investigation is of utmost importance.” 

“As a matter of fact, I’ve already been looking into Pixie’s whereabouts,” Benz said, handing over the information he had gathered to Esther and Anna. “I received a commission before you arrived.” 

Esther carefully examined the information detailing the situation of the children adopted from Maria Church in recent years. It included the adopting families, their social status, and follow-up issues. 

“You said you received a commission. Who commissioned you?” Esther curiously asked. 

“Felix and Sunshine.” 

Benz explained the process of Felix and Sunshine commissioning him. 

As Esther listened, her heart ached. Clutching her chest, she realized with anguish she had been neglecting Felix and Sunshine lately. However, these two super adorable children didn’t blame her. Instead, they were helping her in their own way.
