Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 290

However, the woman did not show any nervousness or anxiety on her face.

On the contrary, her expression was full of irritation and impatience.

Ms. Torres thought, “What kind of a mother would treat her child impatiently? Even if the baby was a relative’s, she shouldn’t treat the crying baby like this.”

At that moment, Ms. Torres quickly glanced into the room. The woman was also cautious and subconsciously used her body to block Ms. Torres’ sight.

Ms. Torres felt sorry for the baby and asked casually, “Why is the baby crying so hard? Has he been crying for a long time?”

The woman looked distressed and said, “He loves to cry, as always.”

Ms. Torres thought, “How can a months-old baby cry without any reason?”

If a baby cried, it was either physically uncomfortable or cold and hungry. Moreover, if a baby cried often, it might be because he was in an unfamiliar environment or surrounded by strangers, which was difficult for the baby to adapt.

Although a months-old baby knew nothing, he was sensitive and intuitive. Adults could control their discomfort with the environment, but a baby could not. He could not speak, so he could only cry.

Ms. Torres did not ask any more questions and returned to her home.

Ms. Torres knew this woman because they lived in the same apartment. She had met the latter in the elevator. Sometimes they would bump into each other when Ms. Torres brought her daughter to the

playground downstairs.

As time went by, they got familiar with each other. They would greet each other whenever they bumped into each other.

That woman liked Ms. Torres’ daughter. Whenever she saw her daughter, she praised Ms. Torres’ daughter for her beauty. Ms. Torres even joked a few times that the woman could give birth to one if she likes children.

Ms. Torres thought, “It’s easy to tell whether a woman has had a baby.”

It was almost noon when Ms. Torres returned home after delivering the medicine. She thought about it while lying on the bed and felt something was wrong. So she called Yahir early in the morning the next day.

On the way here, Christopher asked Harvey to investigate the situation in North Course Apartment.

The North Course Apartment project was completed five or six years ago, and Logan was in charge of it.

Then, Christopher asked someone to investigate the woman Ms. Torres

mentioned. He found that she came from an ordinary family and graduated from university three years ago. She had never worked before and after graduation, nor had any intimate relationship with anyone.

That woman only shared something related to food, fitness, and travel on social media. But she liked and reposted many videos of dogs.

It could be seen that that woman liked dogs, but she did not own one.

Christopher remembered Winnie teasing Logan that a dog had bitten Logan before.

That dog was raised by Kendrick when he was a child.

Logan had fought with Kendrick over something when he came to play in the Solace residence.

The loyal dog probably wanted to protect its owner. So it threw itself at Logan and bit him.

However, the dog was well-trained. It did not even break Logan’s skin with the bite. However, it was a large dog. When it roared fiercely and rushed over to Logan, it frightened him.

Since then, Logan has been traumatized by dogs. When he saw slightly larger dogs, he would walk around them. Logan also felt disgusted toward the unthreatening smaller dogs.

Christopher and Yahir took their men upstairs, but Ms. Torres did not follow them.

She thought, “It is awkward for me to go with them. No matter whether the baby is the one Mr. Solace is looking for, I still live in the same apartment as her. I will bump into her in the neighborhood anytime. If I followed them to see her, the woman could immediately guess that I’m the one who told them.” Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

After going upstairs, Yahir asked his lackeys to ring the doorbell.

They waited for a while. It seemed like no one was inside.

Christopher raised his head and glanced around. There were cameras in different corners of the area. He observed around and noticed that one camera was enough in this area outside the elevator, but there were two. Moreover, the two cameras did not seem to be the same.

Christopher took out his phone to find the contact of the North Course Apartment’s management office. He called to ask about the condition of the cameras in the corridor.

The management office responded, “Only one camera was installed on each floor. The owner should have installed the one you mentioned.”

After talking to the management office, Christopher continued staring at the two cameras. Then he walked under the newer camera and looked up at it. He stared at it with cold, dark eyes as if staring at the person behind the camera.

Meanwhile, Logan sat in the office and looked at the magnified face of Christopher on the screen. His heartbeat suddenly raced.

Logan thought, “How did Christopher find it?”

No one knew about the relationship between Logan and Shirley besides him and Shirley. After so many years, even Josie did not know about it.

Except for that night when Logan had an unpleasant quarrel with Josie and Logan drove directly to Shirley’s place, he would use another car that was registered under Shirley’s name every time he went there.

But after that night, Logan asked someone to eliminate the recording of the surveillance cameras from that night.

That was why Logan dared to put Rowan in Shirley’s house.

Logan thought, “After all, who will find out about my relationship with Shirley?” Initially, Logan thought about kidnapping Christopher’s son to force the latter to leave Solace Corporation. However, during this period, Christopher did not suffer the slightest impact from Rowan’s kidnapping and even intensified his efforts to target Logan and his son, causing Logan to become passive. On the contrary, Logan did not know how to threaten Christopher after kidnapping Rowan.

When Logan returned to his senses, he immediately took out another phone from the drawer and called Shirley.

However, Logan did not expect that Shirley had turned off her phone.

Logan’s forehead twitched a few times. His expression darkened, and he had no idea what to do. He could not go to Shirley’s house at this time. If Logan went now, he would bump into Christopher face-to- face. Then Logan would inadvertently admit that he was involved in Rowan’s kidnapping, and the relationship between him and Shirley would be exposed.

Logan’s mind was spinning fast with ideas, but his eyes were staring at the door of Shirley’s house. At the moment, he only hoped Shirley would not open the door.

However, the next second, his hope was ruined.

Logan saw a man from Christopher’s side take a toolbox and walk to the door. The man fiddled around with the tools, and soon the door was opened.

Christopher also walked away from the camera and followed him into the room.

Logan kept calling Shirley, but it was the same-her phone was always off.

Shirley was not at home at the moment.

After entering the room, Yahir stood in the living room and glanced around. Yahir’s lackeys searched around the house. There were some items, food, and toys for the baby in the room.

But they did not see the owner of the house and the baby.

Christopher went into the bedroom and saw a new crib. It looked like it had only been bought recently. Other baby supplies were also new. There were cooling patches and bags of medicine used by a baby in the garbage can.

Suddenly, Christopher’s gaze stopped on the corner of the quilt on the crib. He bent down to take something out from the corner of the quilt.

It was a lucky charm.

Winnie was superstitious. When a child was born into the family, she would ask someone to make an inexpensive lucky charm for the child as a blessing. They usually wore it until they were three or five years old.

Kendrick, Layla, and Christopher had lucky charms as well. So did Alex and Zofia.

Rowan was born prematurely, so Winnie did not have time to prepare charm for him. She waited for Rowan’s birthday party to put it on him.

the lucky

Christopher suddenly gripped the lucky charm tightly. He stood on the spot coldly for a moment and turned to leave the bedroom.

Yahir smoked while sitting on the couch. When he saw Christopher return to the living room, he asked with a smile, “Have you found anything?”

Christopher replied calmly, “It’s my son.”
