True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1766

Ernest frowned and said coldly, "I know what I'm supposed to do. Don't be a busybody."

Pedro remained silent for a short while. Finally, he decided to keep quiet and left quickly.

If he couldn't persuade Ernest, he decided to do his best to take good care of Leah before she left.

With that, Pedro went to the villa next door.

Soon enough, he arrived outside the guest room on the second floor and knocked on the door.

He couldn't hear any sound coming from inside the room.

Pedro frowned and knocked on the door again. This time, he called out, "Miss Winston, are you alright?"

However, his question went unanswered.

Pedro continued anxiously, "Miss Winston, I'm worried about your safety. I'll open your door now, alright? If you can hear me, just answer me and let me know that you're fine. I'll leave you alone after that."

Still, silence greeted him.

Pedro had no choice but to open the door.

When the door opened, he found that there was no one in the room. The bed looked untouched, and Leah's luggage and backpack were all gone.

Leah herself was also nowhere to be seen.

On the bed, a note was addressed to Pedro. It read, "Mr. Butler, I have to leave now. Thank you for your kindness, but I don't think I can bear to stay here any longer."

He gripped the paper in his hand and hurriedly shouted at the people downstairs, "Where is she? Where's Miss Winston?"

The people who were stationed at the door were also stunned. They didn't know how Leah had disappeared from sight just like that.

Pedro immediately sent someone out to find Leah. After that, he looked through the security footage and discovered that Leah had crawled out of the window. After grabbing her luggage, she took the long route and left.

She dragged her luggage out of the window with great difficulty. She looked determined to leave.

When Pedro saw that she had walked out of the villa and disappeared, he became anxious.

Back in the living room, he ordered everyone available to look for Leah and even gave Alex a call.

"Mr. Logan, please come over and help us. Miss Winston is missing. I really hope nothing bad happens to her. She came all the way here by herself! If something bad happens to her, how will we explain it to her parents?"

"Who is Miss Winston?" Alex asked in confusion.

"Master Ernest's girlfriend. They had a fight and eventually Miss Winston decided that she wanted to leave," This was the first time Pedro had seen such a strong-willed girl. He sighed, "She even climbed out of the window. What a tough cookie."

"I'll be there in a minute," Alex did not understand what was going on, but it sounded like something had gone really wrong. As such, he hurriedly made his way over.

When Ernest heard the news, he was dumbfounded.

Pedro passed Leah's note to him and frowned, "Master Ernest, you need to drop that prideful act of yours. She won't come running back to you. She has to maintain her own pride as well."

As soon as Ernest saw the note, he froze.

He held the paper in his hand and stood stiffly with pursed lips. He did not move for a long while.

Everyone was busy trying to track Leah's whereabouts. Even Liam and Maria noticed the commotion and went downstairs to see what was going on.

They saw that Ernest was standing still in the middle of the living room while everyone around him was bustling about. Everything seemed out of place.

Ernest's face had turned ashen.

"What happened?" Maria asked Pedro.

"I'm not too sure myself," Pedro glared at Ernest and continued, "All I know is that Master Ernest had a quarrel with Miss Winston. After that, Miss Winston wanted to leave tonight, but I thought that it wouldn't be a good idea since it's the dead of night at the moment, so I got her to stay in the guest room over at the villa next door. She somehow managed to climb out of the window with her luggage. I've never met such a determined girl like her before. She's really tough, isn't she? I have to say, I admire her courage."

"Alright, stop singing praises about her. Do you think it'll help? What if something happens to her?" Maria asked seriously.

Pedro sighed, "Well, I already got a few people to go look for her."

He was pretty upset that things had come to this despite having played no part in this.

Suddenly, Ernest seemed to have snapped back to his senses and ran out of the door.

Pedro muttered angrily, "Oh, so he's finally going to do something about this. Gosh, all of this could've been prevented if he had just gone to look for her earlier! I did everything I could to advise him, but he wouldn't listen to me! What a stubborn mule."

Liam turned to look at Maria.

Maria did not spare Liam another look. She hurriedly gave Leah a call.

Fortunately, Leah picked up the call.

Leah's soft voice greeted her, "Hello, Maria."

"Leah, where are you?" Maria asked anxiously, "I'm really worried about you. Even Pedro and Ernest are worried as well. Ernest even ran out to look for you."

"I'm fine. I'm going to board the plane in five minutes," Leah replied, "I'm going to switch my phone off after this. You don't have to worry, I'm just going to fly back home and I'll call you once I've landed. I'll let the others know as well once I've reached Northern City safely."

"Leah, what happened between you and Ernest?" Maria asked, feeling that something was off.

"We broke up," Leah remarked casually.

Maria was stunned.

"You've broken up?"

"Yes, we have," Leah let out a little chuckle at that, "Don't worry about me. I thought it through and decided that it's the best decision I could make."
