Chapter 240: Important part of my life

Tristin stepped out of the car and walked toward the entrance.

‎A moment later, the door opened.

‎Maria stood there.

‎Her eyes widened slightly.

‎"Mr. Tristin."

‎"Maria."

‎He glanced behind her.

‎"Is Alexander home?"

‎The smile on Maria’s face disappeared.

‎"No, sir."

‎Tristin frowned.

‎"When will he be back?"

‎Maria hesitated.

‎Then she lowered her gaze.

‎"I’m not sure."

‎Tristin immediately sensed something was wrong.

‎"What do you mean you’re not sure?"

‎Maria looked conflicted.

‎Finally, she stepped aside and allowed him inside.

‎The villa felt strangely empty.

‎As if someone had taken all the warmth out of it.

‎Tristin sat down while Maria brought him tea.

‎Only after setting the tray down did she speak.

‎"Sir has been away for almost a week now."

‎Tristin froze.

‎"A week?"

‎Maria nodded.

‎"Yes."

‎His brows furrowed deeply.

‎"A week where?"

‎Maria looked uncomfortable.

‎For a moment, she debated whether she should say anything.

‎Then she sighed.

‎"He’s searching for Mrs. Alicia."

‎Tristin stared at her.

‎

‎"What?"

‎"Mrs. Alicia left."

‎The words hit him like a brick.

‎Maria lowered her head.

‎"She left the villa over a week ago."

‎"And sir has been searching for her ever since."

‎The room fell silent.

Tristin slowly leaned back against the couch.

He had been following everything that happened between Alexander and Alicia, but he had no idea she had actually left.

Though he wasn’t exactly surprised.

Everyone in the Blackwood family knew the marriage had been arranged by Rosaline.

Alicia might have endured everything because of the old matriarch, but now that Rosaline was gone, it was only natural that she would finally choose herself.

What didn’t make sense was Alexander.

Judging from everything that had happened, Alexander had never seemed particularly attached to Alicia.

If anything, most people believed he had only stayed in the marriage out of obligation.

Then why was he suddenly so desperate to find her?

If there was one thing Tristin knew about Alexander, it was that he never allowed his personal life to interfere with business.

Yet now he had disappeared for nearly a week.

Ignored the company he had spent years building.

For the first time, it all made sense to Tristin.

Alexander wasn’t avoiding responsibility.

He was chasing after his wife.

A wife Tristin had once believed meant very little to him.

Yet now he had abandoned an entire empire just to find her.

Maria looked worried.

‎"Mr. Tristin..."

‎He looked up.

‎"Have you spoken to him recently?"

‎Maria nodded.

‎"yes, we made phone calls."

‎"And?"

‎Maria’s expression darkened.

‎"He doesn’t sound like himself anymore."

‎Tristin fell silent.

‎Outside, the evening sun slowly dipped below the horizon.

‎

‎For the first time, he realized the situation was far more serious than what he thought.

Tristin asked Maria to inform Alexander of his visit whenever he returned and eventually left the villa, a sense of helplessness weighing heavily on him.

As he stepped outside, he paused for a moment and glanced back at the house.

The villa stood quietly beneath the fading evening light, looking far too empty for a place that was once filled with life.

Tristin quietly thought about how serious the situation have become.
