Shane stretched and said, "There are only a few places Dominic can go. He can either go abroad, Jacqueline's mother’s hometown, or your mother’s hometown.
These are the few places that are safest for him."
"Hometown..." Yvonne said in a low voice and her eyes flickered.
A few seconds later, she calmed her expression and lifted her chin slightly. "Okay, I'll ask someone to find out. However, I still can’t figure it out. Six years ago, Henry lost his memory, and everyone thinks I'm dead. Why did Jacqueline send Dominic away?"
At that time, Dominic and his daughter shouldn't have to worry that anyone that might retaliate against them.
"Well... I don’t really know, but Jacqueline and her father were probably afraid that Henry might regain his memory someday." Shane guessed.
Yvonne laughed lightly, "Maybe. I’m done."
Shane put down the glass of water in his hand and asked, "Shall we go now?"
Yvonne did not answer but looked at the quiet Theo instead.
Theo noticed the look in her eyes, so he raised his head and glanced at her.
After reading what Theo was trying to see through his eyes, Yvonne stood up and said, "Let's go, Theo wants t o go back too."
"Okay. It's late now, it's time to go back." Shane nodded and got up too.
The three of them left the dining room together.
Yvonne handed Theo to Shane before going to the front desk to settle the bill.
After that, the three of them got out of the restaurant and went to their car on the side of the road. As soon a s they got into the car, Yvonne saw something and she narrowed her eyes.
"Wait a minute, don't start the car just yet," Yvonne said to Shane as she looked out the window.
Shane turned to look at her in confusion. "What's the matter?"
Yvonne did not answer.
Shane noticed her strange behavior so he looked in the direction of her gaze. When he saw the three figures not too far away, he was shocked.
"They left around the same time too," Shane said lightly as he released the steering wheel and leaned back on the seat.
The corner of Yvonne's mouth curved upwards coldly. "Yes, but fortunately we came out first."
Fortunately, they got out earlier and got in the car. Otherwise, Henry would’ve seen Theo already.
Since she looked similar to how she used to look, and Theo looked so similar to Henry, it would be easy for people to tell that they were mother and son.
But the image of the three figures walking side by side outside looked like an eyesore!
It made her especially unhappy seeing how Henry was holding Jacqueline's daughter, and she didn't know how Theo would react if he saw it.
As Yvonne thought about it, she looked away and turned to look at Theo beside her instead.
"Theo, look outside." Yvonne pointed out the window.
Theo’s gaze followed her finger, and when he saw the scene, there was no expression on his delicate face. H e calmly looked away and continued to lower his head and play with his Rubik's Cube. It was as if everything else was less interesting than the Rubik's Cube in his hand.
This made Yvonne feel a little disappointed.
She was disappointed that Theo was not angry at all when he saw that his biological father was being kind to another child. 2
She wished that Theo could express his emotions and sadness. That would at least show that Theo's autism was getting better, but it didn't happen. Theo's reaction was very calm.
This also showed that Henry was really useless and had no effect in regards to Theo's condition! 3
Shane understood why Yvonne did what she did.
He was also silently observing earlier.
He secretly sighed, and he didn't know whether he should pity Henry or sympathize with him.
Henry's wife who once loved him so deeply now wanted revenge. Moreover, his biological son had no feelings for him.
Hmm... Henry seemed to have quite a miserable life!
"Let’s go, Shane. There's nothing to see," Yvonne rolled up the car window and said to the man in the driver's seat.
Shane gathered his thoughts and regained his senses. "Okay, sit tight."
After he said that, he pulled the gear and stepped on the accelerator.
The car moved forward and stopped in front of Henry's car.
Henry was bending over to fasten Anna's seat belt when he suddenly heard a honk behind him as if it was done on purpose.
