Chapter 2018
Rosalynn paid the bill, then made her way over to Wayne.
Seeing Wayne on the phone, she slowed her steps.
Noticing her approach, Wayne spoke into the phone, “I’ll send someone to pick you up, otherwise my wife will blame me for making you bike.” “Alright.”
The call ended. Wayne quickened his pace to meet Rosalynn halfway. “The kid’s back at H City. Ableson will pick him up tomorrow for lunch with us. He even brought you some local delicacies.”c2
“What kind of delicacies?” Seeing Wayne so cheerful, Rosalynn couldn’t help but join in the laughter.
Despite all his efforts, Mike hadn’t been able to find any leads related to the young boy.
At least meeting him would provide some clues.
If he turned out to be a good kid, then Wayne’s fondness for him would mean they’d see more of each other in the future.
Taking Rosalynn’s hand in his, Wayne dropped his gaze in thought, “He didn’t say much, just that it’s something delicious.”
“Have I ever told you that your foster mother’s hometown is in the same town? But since her parents’ generation, they no longer resided there,” Rosalynn said, squeezing Wayne’s hand, “You might have gone with them when you were little.”
Wayne stared blankly ahead.
After pondering for a moment, he shook his head, “I don’t remember.”
“You and this kid have some deep ties.” Rosalynn said softly.
“I think so too.” Wayne agreed, nodding.
He wanted to say that when he first met the boy, he even saw a semblance of Cory in his face.
But after running the thought through his mind, Wayne didn’t say it out loud.
In his heart, Cory and Ivy were irreplaceable.
“I need to do some research and dress up a bit for tomorrow. I have to make you look good in front of your friend,” Rosalynn said, laughing. Looking at Rosalynn, Wayne couldn’t help but smile with adoration.
On the flight back to H City, Rosalynn was seriously going through her phone, looking at some decent restaurants, especially ones suitable for children. Wayne must’ve been tired. Not long after boarding, he leaned on Rosalynn’s shoulder and drifted off to sleep.
By the time they landed in H City and arrived at Moonlit Lake, it was already one in the morning.
