Crises in Love novel Chapter 519

When it was time for Monique and Probert to come down for breakfast, Monique was bouncing with energy, darting straight over to Camilla.

"Aunt Camilla, where's Fidelia? Why isn't she down for breakfast yet?" she chirped, oblivious to the tense atmosphere.

We all froze, especially Camilla, who looked like she was on the verge of tears.

Monique was a clever girl. One look at our faces and she knew something was off.

"What's wrong?" she demanded, her playful demeanor vanishing.

No one spoke. She turned to me, "Mom, what's going on? Tell me!"

I gathered my thoughts before speaking gently, "Fidelia... she went out last night on her own and hasn't come back yet."

"On her own? Why would she do that?" Monique persisted, sensing the gravity of the situation. "Is she upset about something?"

At a loss for words, I glanced at Camilla, who remained silent. After all, to have such a thing happen less than 24 hours after her arrival was embarrassing.

Monique caught our silence and guessed she had hit the nail on the head. After a long pause, she quietly took a seat at the dining table.

Probert shot Monique a concerned look before joining his sister in eating breakfast. I noticed him whisper something to Monique, who promptly shot him a glare, causing him to focus intently on his meal.
