Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 803

After running away for a few steps, Elaine thought of something and hurried back to the bedside. Taking the key from Vincent, she unlocked the bedroom door and ran outside.

Downstairs, she met Morgan, who asked suspiciously, "Miss Jacob, why are you coming down again?"

"Oh, Vincent had fallen asleep and he wished to be alone." Elaine took a deep breath and continued, "Anyway, I'm worried about my brother. He's at home by himself, so I wanna go back and check on him."

Hearing that, Morgan let down his guard. "I see. Shall I ask the driver to send you home?"

"Sure, could he take me downtown as well?"

"You going downtown alone, Miss Jacob?"

"No, my brother is coming as well because I gotta take him to the station so he could go back to school soon. It's not good for him to skip too many classes."

"That's right." Morgan nodded. "But I gotta ask Mr. Bradbury for permission first." "Ah, but he doesn't like to be bothered when he's asleep. He told me to go to you if I need anything."

With a pair of innocent-looking eyes, Elaine then added, "Morgan, do you not trust me?"

Morgan smiled. "It's not that. Please wait for a moment. I'm going to look for the driver."

"Thank you."

Elaine let out a sigh of relief.

At the same time, at the airport in Beachmarsh City

The first thing Howard did upon getting off the plane was to call home, but no one answered the phone.

"Urgh, Elaine! Where did you go again?" He then put away his phone and stopped a cab to go back.

Originally, he could have finished his work in three days, but there was an unexpected event, so he had to stay for another two days.

During his business trip, he called home more than once, but Elaine never answered it.

Although he didn't take it seriously at first, he grew a little worried now.

Right now, he just wanted to go home as soon as possible to see what was going on.

In the cab, he even began to wonder if Elaine was frightened by his words earlier.

So she decided to avoid him these days.

When the cab arrived at his place, Howard called the landline again, but no one picked it up still.

Sighing, he put away his phone and opened the door. Instantly, he noticed that something was wrong at home as it was deadly quiet.

Also, the coffee table in the living room was in a mess.

Howard frowned and started to wonder if Elaine was away in the last few days.

Otherwise, she would have cleaned the table up.

"Elaine?"

Closing the door, Howard called towards upstairs.

But no one answered him.

So he put down his luggage and went straight to the second floor.

Upstairs, a chair was overturned and a cup was broken to pieces on the floor. Seeing that, he began to have a bad feeling.

"Elaine!"

Howard searched everywhere but Elaine was nowhere to be seen.

Where did she go?

Gradually, his heart sank, but he refused to think about the worst.

He sat on the sofa and took a few deep breaths. Then, thinking of something, he quickly took out his phone to make a call.

The first person he phoned was Sharon. She was taking a nap with Simon when she got his call. "Hey, what's up?"

"Have you seen Elaine these past few days?"
