Chapter 362 Where’s the Child?
One of the men immediately gave Satan an update. “We lost them, Boss.” At the same time, Barbie rushed over to Hades with her update. “I didn’t see the boy anywhere, Boss!”
“What?!” Hades shot her a look of terror. “I’ve looked everywhere, but the child is nowhere to be seen. Sasha doesn’t know anything about it either—she has been searching for the boy since a while ago. However, she did mention that your brother sent his men to take a look at the boy a few days ago,” Barbie replied.
Thud. Hades’ heart sank into the pit of his stomach upon Barbie’s mention of his brother. Satan is a vigilant man—he must have suspected something when I stopped him from entering the bridal chamber a few days ago. Hades clenched his fists tightly.
If Jamie falls into Satan’s hands, Satan is going to turn the young boy into a weapon for his own benefit. I have no idea what to do now. I wouldn’t be as concerned if Jamie were just Pierre’s son, but Jamie is also Selena’s flesh and blood.
I have to do something. He immediately pulled his phone out to send Selena a text. ‘I’ll help you find your son. Don’t worry.’ He figured that he owed Selena an explanation since he was the one who brought the child over. He thought that it was the right thing to do.
…
Meanwhile, Selena, who was on the plane, heaved a sigh of relief after she received the text from Hades. ‘Thank you,’ she replied hastily. Pierre narrowed his eyes when he saw her. “What is it? Why are you smiling like that?”
“Hades said that he’d help us to find Jamie. He’s a reliable man—we can trust him,” she replied. Pierre’s expression darkened when he saw the smile on her face. “You seem to know him very well,” he muttered.
She immediately realized how she might have said the wrong words. “I… That’s not true… I just—”
She took a gulp of her own saliva. “W-What is it?” Am I not allowed to yawn? She instinctively took a step back as he walked toward her, and this went on until he finally trapped her in a corner. She quickly pressed her palms against his chest. “Stop it.” She sheepishly lowered her hands when she realized that she didn’t have the strength to push him away at all.
“Who do you think you are?!” He roared fiercely. His eyes were bloodshot—she didn’t know if it was because of his anger or if he was just tired.
“I… I just thought…” she mumbled.
“You just thought that you were going to find your son on your own, because you were the one who lost him, right? You thought that you would be able to convince Hades to let go of you and your son! But your assumptions were wrong, so you decided that you would just get married to someone else and find a chance to bring your son back, right?!” he shouted.
Precisely so! That was exactly what I had planned! Selena thought. She had indeed expected herself to be able to convince Hades. Furthermore, if she failed to persuade him, she figured that she would just find a way to leave with Jameson once they got married.
