Chapter 1508


    “Mom, are we eating here again today?”


    “Yes, don’t you love the braised bass here?”


    N frowned and pouted. She held back her desire to say, “But I want to eat at home.”


    Despite her young age, she could sense that her mother had been in a bad mood for the past few


    days. Even her response just now seemed indifferent.


    N couldn’t grasp theplexities of the adult world. She didn’t understand why things could go from


    sunny to stormy instantly. All she knew was that whenever someone sent her mother pictures of her


    dad with other women, Kasey would react this way.


    “Mom…”


    N tugged at Kasey’s hand, but thetter suddenly let go and stared tensely at something, hurrying


    away.


    N was startled, and her doll slipped from her grasp.


    “Mom—”


    “N, stay right here and don’t move!” Kasey shouted anxiously as she rushed ahead. “Mom will be


    back in a moment!”


    Helplessly, N stood there, watching her mother’s figure gradually disappear.


    This had happened before. Whenever Kasey found out that Elijah was getting close to another woman,


    she would lose control, leaving N behind. N would have to wait quite some time to see her


    distraught mother again.


    Lurking in the shadows, Drake squinted. Suddenly, he remembered seeing this mother-daughter duo a


    few times recently. Sometimes, the woman brought the little girl to eat, and other times, it was just the


    woman…


    Was she there to catch her husband cheating?


    Yes, that had to be it!


    Drake had been staying at the hotel daily and heard plenty of gossip. He had heard about a CEO who


    kept getting involved in scandals. Despite having a wife and child, he was always entangled with other


    women. Drake had also heard that this man was the son-inw of the city’s future mayor.


    He chuckled. Who knew if these rumors were true or not? It was quitemon even if a man was


    fooling around with other women.


    He continued observing the little girl, noticing how she quietly picked up her doll from the floor and


    scanned her surroundings. Her young facecked panic, only showing a hint of disappointment.


    At that moment, two servers approached and politely addressed her as Ms. Chriss. One of them


    escorted her to the first-floor lounge.


    Drake’s expression changed.


    It turned out this little girl wasn’t that easy to approach either. She didn’t have any bodyguards, just a


    few hotel staff members. Compared to the Hamertons’ little princess, she should be easier to snatch.


    Drake followed them all the way to the lounge’s entrance. By now, the servers had prepared snacks


    and drinks for N and left to attend to other tasks.


    Drake scanned the area and refrained from acting recklessly due to security cameras in the corridor.


    Unexpectedly, N walked out on her own!


    Holding her doll tightly, N yed alone in the empty corridor, seemingly bored. Suddenly, she


    noticed a small door leading to the hotel’s backyard. Despite the cooling weather, the backyard was


    adorned with flowers, catching her attention.


    Curiosity was natural for a child. She bounded toward the backyard.

    Drake realized an opportunity had arisen!


    The backyard was where he had spoken to Bianca that day. ording to Bianca, there was nothing


    there except a broken surveince camera.


    Before approaching N, Drake straightened his clothes and quickly washed his face in the restroom.


    “Hey, little girl,” he said, approaching with a wrinkled smile. “Are you ying here all by yourself?”
