Chapter 423


    Chapter 423 Have We Failed?


    Tyler halted his steps. “What’s wrong?”


    Liora nced at Caroline before hurriedly leading Tyler back to the bedroom and shutting the door.


    “Have you noticed something strange about Axel, Ty?” Liora asked.


    Tyler had noticed it, too.


    “Axel looked awfully thin and seemed exhausted when I yed with himst night,” Tyler remarked, his


    brow furrowing.


    Liora nodded. “Exactly! I think Axel might be sick.”


    “Don’t jump to conclusions. It could be because he’s struggling with the constant changes in hist living


    situation, Tyler scolded.


    “What should we do then?” Liora blinked anxiously. “Oh, I know! Do you think we can talk to


    scumbag Daddy about it?”


    Tyler asked, ‘How do you n to approach him?”


    “We’ll send him a text asking if we can take care of Axel!”


    “Do you think it’s that simple?”


    “Just ask! I want Axel toe back because it’s painful to see him wasting away.” Liora was sad. Axel


    must be so lonely.”


    Tyler couldn’t bear to see tears welling up in Liora’s eyes. He wiped her tears away and said, Please


    don’t cry. You look ugly when you do.”


    Liora retorted, “Mommy must have adopted you, you rascal!”


    Tyler smirked, picked up his phone, and said, “I’ll send the message.”


    Liora grabbed his arm and yfully bit him.


    Tyler quickly pulled his arm back and feigned annoyance. “Do you still want me to send that


    message?”

    Liora chuckled and wiped Tyler’s arm. “Hurry, Tyler!”


    Tyler found Evan’s number and sent a text message.


    Tyler: [This is Tyler Shenton. I noticed that Axel hasn’t been looking welltely. Can we bring him back


    to Bayview Vi?]


    Meanwhile, in another location.


    Evan received Tyler’s text during a meeting. He checked his phone, frowned, and replied with at


    curt “No“.


    He tossed his phone onto the table, annoyed.


    ‘How did the boy get my number? Can he really text me? Maybe Caroline put them up to this.


    Trying to get Axel back? That won’t happen!” he thought.


    Tyler anticipated the rejection, so he fired back with: [You’re a terrible father.]

    Evan appeared agitated when he received the new message but couldn’t resist checking his


    phone. He sneered as he read the text. I’m a terrible father?”


    Evan: [You don’t get to decide where my son should be ]


    Tyler: [That’s why you’re a terrible father. You never consider Axel’s feelings–you dictate


    everything he does.]


    Evan: [Your taunts won’t work on me.]


    Tyler: [I’m just stating the truth. Haven’t you noticed Axel’s declining health and weight loss?]


    Evan fell silent. Axel had lost weight recently, but he attributed it to Axel’s ims of having a


    poor appetite. Thus, he hadn’t taken him to see a doctor. Maybe it was time to reconsider.


    Evan: [I’ll take care of him.]


    Tyler was frustrated.


    “Did we fail?” Liora asked


    Tyler reassured her. “We can’t rush this. We’ll take it slow.”


    “Ah,” Liora replied, feeling dejected.

    In the bedroom, Caroline applied makeup and donned a graceful white dress. She took a deep


    breath as she examined her reflection.


    The white dress was Jamie’s favorite, and Caroline was determined to find the person responsible


    for ruining Jamie’s reputation.


    Evan couldn’t tolerate the anger, nor could she.
