But... Now?
What did she do? Did she take his words to heart?
Henry's expression became gloomier.
Harriet picked up food for him, "I saw that Rufus was still hiding when he went in. He was very close to Arya..."
"Do you know Rufus?"
"I heard Arya call him that." Harriet reacted quickly.
Henry had no appetite to eat before, and now he had lost his appetite at all. He stood up, pulled out his chair, and walked towards the study. Harriet followed him, "Henry, why don't you ask Rufus about his relationship with sister-in-law, or ask him to stay away from her? After all..."
Henry didn't want to hear anything, "Leave me alone."
Harriet stopped as soon as she saw his expression. Now Henry obviously didn't want to talk to her.
Anyway, she had planted a seed of doubt in his heart.
In the hospital.
Arya had just laid down when her phone rang. It was Caspar who called and asked if she had seen Alice.
"I don't know." She had been taking care of Ryan all this time. She even didn't go to the company. She had never seen Alice, nor had she received a call from her.
Arya asked, "Did you two fight?"
Caspar also knew that Ryan was still in the hospital and didn't say anything about Alice's divorcing him.
"No, it's okay. I'll hang up first."
Arya answered and hung up the phone. She didn't believe Caspar. It didn't sound like he was fine but rather anxious.
Thinking about the last time he said that Alice was infertile, she probably guessed why.
So she called Orlando and asked him, "Do you know where Alice went?"
Orlando was holding the phone in one hand and the glass in the other. He was about to clink a glass with Alice. When he heard Arya's question, he paused.
He looked at Alice and asked Arya, "Did Caspar call you?"
Arya said yes.
Orlando looked at Alice as if he was asking for her opinion.
Alice shook her head, indicating him to say nothing.
Orlando nodded and replied to Arya, "I don't know where she is now.
Arya stood at the window, obviously not believing Orlando's words, because he could not answer right away.
"Put Alice on the phone."
