Chapter 564
Del Orphanage. Dean's office.
Brayden sat on the sofa, reading a file in his hand.
He read it very carefully, every word on every page.
The Dean sat beside Brayden, who was being solemn. Finally, he said, "All the orphans sent here this year are here. You want a months-old orphan. There are only a few."
"And none of them are in good health."
"Is there any healthy one?"
Brayden looked at the Dean.
The Dean shook his head. "Sorry. No."
Brayden nodded and closed the file. "I want a healthy baby, preferably three months old or younger. A newborn baby would be better."
He paused and said, "The date of birth should be between the end of May and the end of June."
"Sorry, Mr. James. We don't have one for the time being."
"It's okay. If you have any, please let me know."
"Okay, no problem."
Brayden got up, shook hands with the Dean and left the orphanage.
Just as he walked out of the orphanage and opened the car door, his phone rang.
Brayden got in the car and took out his phone. He looked at the screen and answered, "Kelly."
"I've drawn up a schedule and emailed it to you. Please check. We'll talk about it later if there should be any changes."
"OK."
Brayden hung up the phone and looked at the email.
But before he checked the email, he saw an unread text message.
And it was sent by Melody.
Brayden paused for a few seconds and clicked on it.
"Olivia is missing."
Brayden's heart suddenly squeezed.
Olivia was missing?
Why?
Brayden immediately called Melody, his expression frighteningly cold at this moment.
However, he only heard that "I'm sorry, the number you've dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please..." No one answered.
Was it that she didn't hear the call or that she refused to answer it?
Brayden didn't know the answer, but all he knew was that he was going to Tanar Winery now.
Olivia had told him that the new products were to be released at Tanar Winery.
Brayden started the car very quickly and soon he drove the car away.
On the runway, another show began.
Melody came out in a Morandi white down jacket.
She looked neat and tidy with her long hair tied up high.
The down jacket fell to her mid-calf and the collar was made the shape of a large slanted leaf. The hem has an irregular shape. There was a Morandi green tassel belt around her waist. It was naturally hanging on the left side.
With one hand carrying the AK Company's latest handbag and the other hanging by her side, she walked steadily over in a pair of 14cm high heels.
But when she walked over, the expression in her eyes changed.
She clenched her handbag in an instant.
In the most high-profile spot off the stage, she didn't see Everett...
Preston looked at Melody. Melody didn't look at him, but instead stared at the seat next to him.
Preston knew it.
The look in Melody's eyes changed. It was not firm as it had been.
It was because Everett wasn't beside him.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
Everett hadn't come back since he left the venue, and Preston didn't know where Everett went.
But Everett didn't look for him, so nothing should have happened.
But now Melody was easily influenced by Everett's absence, which was not good.
Preston frowned. He hoped that Melody would not forget what she was doing.
Fortunately, Melody recovered herself after a brief change in expression.
She finished the show completely.
As soon as the show ended, Preston left the venue.
The dressers and stylists were waiting for Melody outside. Melody's face darkened as soon as she came out.
Everett wasn't on the spot.
Why?
Did he find out that Olivia was missing and go to look for her?
Melody was unwilling to think so, so she quickly walked back to the design room.
But just as she took a few steps, Preston stopped her. "Melody."
Melody stopped and continued walking forward.
She wanted to make a call.
She wanted to make sure whether Everett went to look for Olivia.
When Preston saw that Melody ignored him completely and was in a hurry, his heart trembled. He ran over quickly. "Melody!" He stood in front of Melody.
Melody was forced to stop. At this time, her face was obviously different from the one on the runway. She was now like a different person. "Get out of the way."
Preston looked at Melody's face which indicated that she was holding back her anger. He asked, "What's wrong? Why are you so angry?" Before Melody could say anything, Preston smiled. "You don't look like this because Everett isn't here, do you?"
Preston said, half-jokingly.
But both of them knew whether it was a joke or not.
Melody heard Preston mention Everett. Something crossed her mind and she said, "Everett has been with you. When did he leave?"
The smile on Preston's face widened.
Instead of answering Melody, he asked, "Are you not doing the catwalk show just because Everett is not there?"
Preston smiled, but there was a serious look in his eyes.
Melody did not speak again. She leaned to another side and when walking past Preston, she said, "I won't screw up this show. Don't worry." After that, Melody walked into the design room.
Preston stood there, his smile gone.
"Something must have happened." he thought.
