Adopted to Biological? Keep Your Golden Child Scapegoat Out novel Chapter 26

Chapter 6

Sloane felt pure joy exploding in her chest.

So my text this morning was for real-I’d actually LEFT.

She tried to hide her smile, putting on a worried face instead.

“Finding her is definitely more important. Go ahead, Blake.”

Even though she was telling him to go find me, Sloane was secretly hoping Blake would never track me down.

Blake paused. He hadn’t expected Sloane to be so understanding, and guilt flickered across his face.

“Take care of yourself and the baby. Once I find Meredith, I’ll take you to Europe in a few days.”

With that, he rushed off.

On the drive home, he kept dialing that number he knew by heart, but all he got was the same cold automated message.

“Sorry, the number you’ve dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later.”

After a dozen failed attempts, he finally gave up and floored the gas pedal. The car shot down the road like a bullet.

When he got home, Blake realized the house was even emptier than the staff had described. Even the bathroom only had one toothbrush cup left-his.

He was losing his mind with panic.

Meredith had taken every single thing that belonged to her. What did this MEAN? Was she planning to leave him?

All the staff stood before him, trembling. One brave soul stepped forward carefully.

“Sir, did you and Mrs. Donnelly have a fight? Maybe she’s just upset and left to cool off?”

“IMPOSSIBLE!”

Blake sat on the couch all night like a statue.

He couldn’t figure out why I would just disappear without warning.

Just when he was about to call the police, his assistant rushed in with a phone.

“Mr. Donnelly, this is Mrs. Donnelly’s phone. We found it on the side of the road.”

Blake’s heart jumped into his throat.

The side of the road? Had enemies kidnapped Meredith?

He forced down his panic with shaking hands and turned on the phone.

When it unlocked, a text message stared him right in the face.
