Chapter 1063
“Zeke.” Daniel asked, “Is the kidnapper dead?”
Zeke nodded. “Yeah, he’s dead.”
Good to know.
Relief washed over the old couple.
Are they worried that I’ll force the truth out of the kidnapper if he’s still alive? Zeke mused.
After exiting the cave, Zeke gave Rosie a call, asking her to take care of the man’s body and study the
solution he had concocted.
“Don’t tell Lacey we were kidnapped, Zeke,” Daniel urged Zeke on the way back. “We don’t want her to
worry.”
“Okay!”
It was already past midnight when they arrived at the Williams Manor.
Lacey was waiting in agony at the door.
Upon seeing her parents, she jogged up to them. “Mom, Dad, where have you guys been? We’ve been
worried sick today.”
Hannah stroked Lacey’s cheek lovingly. “Atheville is too big. We got lost. We’re sorry to worry you. We
truly are.”
Lacey chided, “Mom, Dad, you must inform me the next you go out. I’ll send someone to escort you.”

“Of course!” Hannah smiled in agreement.
“Oh yeah,” Lacey uttered. “Zeke’s parents want to meet you. They’re waiting inside. Come on.”
“Okay.”
Faith and Diego greeted the Hinton couple warmly as soon as they entered the house.
Faith and Diego were of noble birth. They had an extraordinary elegance; their speech and manner
were refined.
As Hannah and Daniel were simplymoners, they were rather reserved in front of them.
But Faith and Diego were considerate. Most of their conversations revolved around daily topics.
With Lacey’s asional gags to regte the atmosphere, Hannah and Daniel slowly loosened up and
started talking with eloquence.
Seeing that the timing was almost right, Faith cut to the chase as she served the Hinton couple tea and
said, “Zeke and Lacey are not getting any younger. It’s time to talk about their marriage. How about we
set the date now so we can get ready for the wedding?”
Hannah and Daniel flinched at the word ‘wedding’.
They exchanged a nce that only the both of them could read. It was as if they had something difficult
to voice.
“Okey.”

“Marriage is no child’s y. We shouldn’t take this lightly,” Daniel spoke up.
“It’s gettingte now, and we’re actually a little exhausted from wandering around all day. How about
we pick a time some another day to discuss this properly?”
Faith and Diego didn’t think much about it and nodded in response.
Zeke and Lacey, however, couldn’t wrap their heads around it.
Mom and Dad used to be very passionate when it came to the topic of our marriage. But why are they
avoiding the topic actively now? Something isn’t right.
After settling down the Hinton couple at the Williams Manor’s guest room, Zeke left, slipping on a pair
of in-ear monitors.
He had nted a bug on Daniel and Hannah as he wanted to listen to the sore subject that the old
couple was hiding.
As expected, their voice sounded over the monitor not long after, with Hannah sighing, “Who knew he
woulde straight at us after so many years.”
Naturally, she was referring to the man in ck who had kidnapped them today.
