Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 344

Fortunately, Stanley had gone to stop Isai from attacking Sharon in time. After Stanley's disappearance, for some reason, Isai turned a blind eye to Sharon.

After that, Liam had thought that the incident of that year had all passed, but who would've thought that Isai set his eyes on the twins now?

No matter how things went between the adults, Isai shouldn't have dragged the kids into this! The children had nothing to do with it!

Liam sat in his chair and pondered quite a while before he stood up and grabbed the keys, hurrying off to the Jones' villa.

He hadn't returned to the villa for a very long time ever since Isai locked Ember up here. Besides, back then, his mother had passed away here. He was afraid that if he came back often, it would remind him of his mother's death, and he might end up killing Ember out of anger.

The Jones' villa was quite an old estate. Upon entering the house, Liam's thoughts returned to when he was still a kid and he remembered how unwelcome he felt when he was just sent here. Gradually, he became a little timid, and he often hid in the corner to play alone.

One time, when he was scolded by his mother for being naughty, he ran sadly to hide under the bed, and then fell asleep for some reason. When he woke up, he saw Ember holding a dagger and there was blood dripping down from it, whereas his mother was lying in a pool of blood...

The past was too painful. Liam had to take a deep breath to calm himself down and told himself that he wasn't here to find trouble with Ember. He had other things to take care of.

"Where's Isai?" Liam asked the cleaner in the living room the moment he entered.

Seeing him, the cleaner was stunned for a moment before answering, "Sorry, I don't know."

"What about Oscar?"

"He seems to have gone out at noon. He hasn't come back yet."

Liam raised his eyebrows. Did this mean that Isai didn't bring the two children here? Where could he take them then? Could it be that he was really deranged and wanted to do something to the twins?

Just as Liam was hypothesizing, there was the sound of an engine roaring outside the door. When the footsteps approached, he turned around and saw that Stanley was here as well.

With a grim look, Stanley was enveloped in a layer of chill from the darkness.

Seeing Liam, he asked directly, "Where are they?"

Liam must've heard it on the phone as well, which was why he'd rushed over to the villa too.

However, before Liam could say anything, Ember, who heard the noises, came down from the stairs. She was surprised to see both of them present and asked, "Why are you both here?"

Liam just narrowed his eyes and gazed at her, then looked away.

Meanwhile, Anthony, who was standing behind Stanley, came up and hurriedly said, "Lady Ember, Sharon and the two children are gone."

"What?" Ember was shocked and she held on to the handrail.

Liam turned to Stanley with a frown. "Sharon is missing as well?"

"Jimmy had gone to Sharon's company, and her colleagues said that she didn't go to work at all."

Liam could sense the grimness in Stanley's voice.

Meanwhile, after regaining her senses, Ember immediately asked, "What's going on? How could they all be missing at the same time? Who did it?"

Liam sneered. "Who else could it be? Of course, it's Isai."

"Wh-what?"

Shocked, Ember felt a wave of dizziness coming. In the past few years, Isai hadn't done anything to Sharon. She thought that he had given up, but she didn't expect that he would involve the two children now.

Liam frowned. "Since Isai isn't here, where could he take Sharon and the kids?"

The most important thing now was to find them, but there were no clues at all.

Desperate, Liam turned to look at Stanley, who had been standing silently by the side and radiating a cold aura. Liam could feel a chill run down his spine.

Judging from his expression, Liam could tell that he was extremely angry right now.

"Ahem." Liam cleared his throat and asked in a low voice, "What are you going to do?"

Stanley glanced at him and said, "You may leave."

Liam was taken aback. "What do you mean?"

"Isai will come back sooner or later. When he comes back, it will be his death." Stanley's expression was icy and grim. "If you don't want to get involved, then leave as soon as possible."

On the other hand, there was a vehicle driving quietly on the road— Seamus and Sadie sat in the back seat. Curling up next to Seamus, Sadie tugged at her brother's sleeve and asked, "Seamus, do you feel something wrong?"

Children had always been sensitive, and even Sadie, who had always been careless, could sense it.

Seamus touched his sister's head and comforted, "Don't worry. I'll protect you."

Upon hearing that, Sadie was relieved. Since her brother had always been much reliable than her, she was sure that he could think of a way to escape from danger.

After driving for a long time, the car finally stopped and someone opened the door for them. It was an old man, who looked at them with a smile. "You guys are here!"

Earlier, Sadie was so nervous because she thought they had met a bad guy. But seeing that the old man didn't seem to be like one, she let down her guards and came out of her brother's arms, asking, "Who are you?"

Isai waved at her and said, "Let's get out of the car first. I'll take you to dinner."

Hearing that, Sadie happily got out of the car.

Seamus was speechless when he saw that his younger sister had become careless again.

Isai led the two children into the house and asked Oscar to bring them some fruit. Sitting aside, he looked at the twins with meditative eyes. It was his first time being with the kids face to face. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

"Wow, your house is huge!" Sadie looked around the house that was several times bigger than theirs, then stared at Isai with her doe eyes. "Mister, are you staying here alone?"

Isai nodded and said, "Yes, I live here alone. Why don't you two come accompany me more often?"

Sadie went quiet. Then, she took a peep at her brother and slowly walked over to his side, grabbing hold of his hand.

Seamus held his sister's hand and looked at the old man sitting on the sofa, saying politely, "Mister, our mommy often exhorts us that we shouldn't stay overnight outside, so we should better head home now. Could you please send us back?"
