Come Into My Arms novel Chapter 557

Hobart thought of Patrick and Amelia's weird expression when they talked about Maryanne. He could not help but ask, "What is the time now in Seattle?"

Maryanne paused for a moment before saying, "Huh! It's late at night."

Hobart emphasized, "What is the time?"

"Eleven o'clock?" Maryanne answered in an uncertain voice.

Hobart asked suspiciously, "Maryanne, are you really in Seattle?"

Maryanne replied quickly, "Of course, why would I lie to you? I couldn't find the clock just now so I couldn't tell you the exact time!"

Hobart forced himself to reply, "Alright then."

Maryanne asked worriedly, "Hobart, what's wrong with you? Why are you sighing?"

Hobart said, "Maryanne, if anything happened to you, please don't hide it from me. Just tell me and I'll help you solve it."

Maryanne smiled. "Alright! It's getting late. I'm going to bed. Remember to help me send regards to dad

and mom. Don't let them worry about me."

Hobart responded with a 'sure' and hung up the phone.

Hobart stood still on the spot and thought for a while. Then, he made a call to home.

The person who answered the phone was the maid who was in charge of taking care of Maryanne's diet. "Young master? What can I do for you?"

Hobart said, "Go to Maryanne's bedroom immediately and look for her America passport."

"Okay, please wait a moment." After a while, the maid said on the other end of the line, "Young master, I've found it."

Hobart's heart sank even further when he heard that. Maryanne had lied to him? She had never kept a secret from him!

Hobart tightened his grip on his phone. It was only when the maid called him a few times that he came back to his senses. "Then keep searching to make sure did she take any other passports?"

However, the maid's answer was the same...

"Young master, Ms. Maryanne didn't bring any of her passports." After a pause, the maid asked with concern, "Young master, did something happen to Ms. Maryanne? Please don't scare me."

Hobart thought to himself, "Don't ask me. I don't know what had happened as well." After comforting the maid with a few words absent-mindedly, Hobart ended the call.

The next second, a thought flashed through Hobart's mind. The news of Maryanne having a vacation to relieve her anxieties was told by Milton. Then, would Milton know the inside story?

Hobart decided to ask Milton.

Hobart raised his phone again and dialed Milton's number.

The call was only connected after a while. Hobart asked impatiently before Milton talked, "Milton! Tell me where my sister is! Tell me everything!"

His loud voice made Milton stunned. After a while, he said, "She is in Seattle..."

Hobart felt angry when he heard this. Were they hiding something from him?

"She didn't take her America passport with her and you tell me she is in Seattle. How did she get there? Did she go there illegally?"

Milton did not know what to say.

Hobart said angrily, "We didn't call the police when she was missing that night because we trusted you. Don't tell me that we've trusted the wrong person?"

Milton took in a deep breath and said, "We're living together now!"

Hobart's mind went blank. "What did you say?"

Milton said in a low voice, "Maryanne and I decided to live together before getting married. However, I was afraid that uncle and aunt wouldn't agree, so I didn't tell you immediately. I hope you can understand."

Hobart who had come back to his senses was stunned. "You... you guys..."
