Larry was missing?
Hearing his words, Wendy's face darkened.
When they parted in the daytime, she personally took Larry to Uncle Lee's car. She also saw with her own eyes that Mercedes- Benz drove out of her sight. Moreover, when she arrived at the corporate office to make an appointment for an interview, Larry even called her and softly told her that he was home.
In addition to the time when he was picked up by her by accident at the airport, Larry was accompanied by Aunt Lee every time he went out. Even when he was in the mall last time, he sneaked away because he saw her. He can't just disappear for no reason.
Wendy swallowed a mouthful of saliva and also became worried.
When Charlie's phone vibrated, Charlie had already thought that if it was Madge who's calling him, he'd turn it off like he did last time.
Later, he saw that it was Aunt Lee who called, so he picked it up.
In the line, Aunt Lee first asked if Larry would be with Miss Lim. He glanced at Wendy and replied that Larry did not, because he's with Wendy now, and he immediately had a bad premonition. Sure enough, Aunt Lee's voice was urgent, saying that his son was missing. Charlie took two big steps to the side and frowned. "Aunt Lee, tell me what's going on!"
"I have been cooking in the kitchen. When I finish and go upstairs, the young master is not in the room! Mick and I have searched in the villa for a long time. The attic and the underground cellar have all been searched, but we haven't found the young master!"
"How could he have disappeared?" Charlie put one hand on his waist and felt very puzzled.
"I don't know either. Everything was fine during the day, but Miss Gray came by in the evening!" Aunt Lee recalled and continued, "She said that she came to send toys to the young master and accompanied him for a while. Later, she seemed to have received a phone call and left. After Miss Gray left, the young master looked unhappy. He broke the toys sent by Miss Gray and ran back to the room... I thought that he was staying in the room, but I didn't expect that he would disappear!"
"And just now I found that the gate outside the courtyard was opened, and the gap is just enough for him to pass. The young master must have sneaked out! I guess he might have gone to find Miss Lim, but you just said that he didn't..." Aunt Lee said at this point, and her tone became more and more anxious. "Mick and I are looking around the villa now. Sir, do we need to call the police?"
"Of course!" Charlie replied in a low voice.
Hanging up the phone, Charlie pulled the open collar of his shirt, anxiously pacing while calling the police station. Wendy walked up quickly and asked nervously, "Charlie, what's wrong with Larry? Is he really missing?"
"Yes..." Charlie nodded, with a serious look on his face.
"Could he be hiding somewhere?" Wendy thought it was possible.
"Aunt Lee said that she has searched for the whole villa, but didn't find anything!" Charlie shook his head and frowned. "Aunt Lee said that he might have run out to look for you secretly. I also have the same speculation. This child is very solitary and only close to you."
Both the apartment building and the villa were near the river, not too far away from each other and usually ten minutes away by car.
Hearing what he and Aunt Lee said, Wendy also felt that it was likely.
Although Larry was a little, he had an amazing memory. When she first returned to the country, Charlie had only sent her back to the hotel once and Larry was able to go to the hotel to find her again. And when she moved to the apartment building, he could also find her.
But unlike every time, Larry ran out on his own this time.
Without Uncle Lee and Aunt Lee's company, no matter how intelligent he was, he was just a child who was not yet four years old. There were too many unknown and dangerous factors. What if he met bad people...
Wendy didn't dare to think further. "Charlie, let's find him as soon as possible!"
As she was saying, Charlie had already rushed to the entrance.
When the elevator door opened, the two of them almost ran out of the apartment building. Wendy did not get in the Land Rover, but held her cell phone and said, "Let's split up and call at any time if we find him!"
"Okay!" Charlie nodded and started the engine.

Hate deception and Abby and Dylan take the cake ,ugh...
NO!!! Tina belongs with Wilson…. Let Dylan and Abby get together...
Wow, once again the villain messes up the true love, Abby needs to go back abroad. And Tina’s true identity as the daughter of Bill Ambrey needs to be exposed! Then the families can “convenience marry” !! Abby is a witch....
Too bad Wilson can’t figure out that his and Tina’s ex’s and his cousin Desmond are conniving creeps!...
Anthea is so stupid, lying and leaving the man who loves her more than life itself. 🤬...
She deserves to be unhappy, being with someone she doesn’t love because of resentment for the exact thing she is doing, hopefully she ends up with no one. Calvin is a wimp and doesn’t love her, just wants a wife to please his family....
So the same basic story as Simon and Addy but stupid Emily is going to marry him! What a hypocrite! Ugh...
Emily gets more stupid every chapter, when did she pickup Calvin as a fiancé!!?? This story line is awful….very sad to do to Simon what she “thought” he had done but didn’t. She is truly a dumb woman. Simon never loved or really even cared for Addy….what the hell is she doing with someone she doesn’t even know or like/love. Awful 😢...
Emily is a fool, don’t let go of the man who truly loves you. Let go of the past, of which he did nothing but help someone who saved his life, and be happy with him… he is your soulmate....
Nothing like cutting off your nose to spite your face Emily. Just stupid! Ugh 😩...
