Louise felt a bit apprehensive inside, but she had to go. She had already guessed that Brian knew about Grace's missing child.

Louise didn't know his thoughts, but she could see that he seemed to be in a bad mood.

But what was the use of being in a bad mood? Austin had already been abandoned, and he should never see her again.

Thinking of this, Louise couldn't help but feel secretly pleased.

During the meal, Brian was clearly distracted. Louise asked tentatively, "Brian, what's wrong?"

Brian looked up at her, paused for a moment, put down the food that he hadn't eaten much of, and looked at her. "Grace's child is missing."

Louise had already guessed that he might mention this matter, and she had already prepared her reaction, widening her eyes in shock.

"How could she be missing? Isn't the child still very young, not even able to walk yet?" Louise put down her fork, playing the shocked expression with great detail. Brian stared at her face for a while but couldn't see any flaws.

"Is she alright?" Louise asked.

Brian frowned. "What do you think?"

"The child is gone. She must be worried to death. Has she called the police? Has anything been found?"

Brian shook his head.

Louise was secretly delighted. It seemed that nothing had been discovered.

They had made thorough preparations before their actions, specifically avoiding surveillance cameras, making it as difficult to find as looking for a needle in a haystack.

Just as she was feeling pleased with herself, Brian suddenly spoke, "The child was found near Sevetin Park."Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Louise's mind froze instantly.

What? They found her?' she wondered.

She looked up at Brian abruptly, and it took her a while before her expression changed from shock to joy. "Really? That's

great news!"

Brian stared intently into her eyes and said slowly, "On the day the child disappeared, you were at Sevetin Park." Louise's fingers curled slightly, but her facial expression remained normal. "Brian, are you suspecting me?" Brian looked at her for a long time, unable to say a word. He didn't know who to believe either.

His eyebrows were tightly knit as if he were facing a difficult choice.

Louise could see that he was suspecting her, but perhaps he felt in his heart that he shouldn't be questioning her in such a

manner.

She took the initiative, erying out in grievance, "Brian, in your eyes, am I such a vicious woman? I admit that your past with Grace has always bothered me, but I could never harm a child! I swear. If I harmed her child, may I die a terrible death! Is that enough?" Hearing her resolute words, Brian instantly felt that he must have been wrong about her.

He quickly apologized to her. "I'm sorry, Louise. I haven't been sleeping well these past few days, and my mind is not clear. That's why I said such things."

Louise, hearing his guilty tone, played up her grievance even more.

Brian explained, "I didn't mean to doubt you. It's just..."

"Did you not mean to doubt me? If you didn't doubt me, then why are you asking me like this? You first said the child was found near Sevetin Park, and then you deliberately mentioned that I was at Sevetin Park that day. Are you trying to imply that I had something to do with the child's disappearance?"

"I'm sorry, Louise. I was wrong." Brian didn't offer any more explanations.
