Never Tired of Mr. Leon's Love novel Chapter 258

”Lulu, it’s time for dinner. Lulu…”

Cillian knocked on the door, but there was no response. His heart skipped a beat. Without any hesitation, he reached for the doorknob and pushed the door open.

Inside, he found a cluttered table with scattered draft papers and a lonely laptop sitting on top. Lucy was nowhere to be seen.

Cillian felt a pang of anxiety, but before he went into full panic mode, someone tugged at the hem of his clothes. He turned around and saw that it was a little girl with short hair.

He recognized her. It was the landlady's child who often stuck around Lucy. Britney stared at him with her large eyes as she said, “Sir, I forgot to tell you that Ms. Lucy went out to the garden.

"She saw that you were busy with work, so she didn’t want to disturb you. She asked me to wait until you were finished with work to let you know so that you wouldn’t worry too much.”

Cillian did not bother addressing the fact that the kid called Lucy 'Ms. Lucy' but him 'sir.'

Hearing that Lucy went out for a walk eased his worries a bit, but after a while, he felt that something was not right.

He crouched down and asked, “When did Ms. Lucy leave?”

“I’m not sure, but it was probably around noon. Maybe at one o’clock?”

The child replied, tilting her head as she tried to recall what time Lucy left. Hearing this, Cillian’s heart sank.

Uh-oh. The weather was nice today. Britney said that Lucy left around early afternoon, which meant that she left around one or two o’clock.

However, the sun had already set, which meant that at least five or six hours had passed since then. Lucy would not have been out in the garden for that long.

This would not do. He had to go find her. Cillian stood up shakily, but he suppressed his worries and asked Britney, “Do you know which garden Ms. Lucy went to?”

Britney shook her head and added, “We only have one garden. Just go out the door and keep turning right. When you pass by a café, keep going straight.”
