Chapter 1979


    That way they could use the excuse of visiting their pants or keeping thempany, to have affairs


    Barely had Rosalynn left when Mike and Calvin rounded up the kids for home


    Are Mommy and Daddy not home from work yet?” Ivy asked, looking around for her parents and then


    querying Laura


    Laura was not smart, but she knew how to read a room.


    She had a feeling that the peace that had recently settled over the house was about to be shattered.


    “No, they just called to say they won’t be home for dinner, so you guys should eat and then go do your


    homework and go to bed. Don’t wait up, Laura quickly replied, “I made your favonte types of cookies,


    they’re fresh from the oven! Come, let’s go to the dining room!”


    Seeing Laura’s anxious demeanor, Calvin became suspicious, so he sent a message to Rosalynn.e2


    “Ms. Gabrie, you’re noting home for dinner?”


    Rosalynn called back almost immediately Calvin quickly answered


    “Calvin, I have to go out and take care of something. I’ll probably be backte. Please keep an eye on


    Cory and Ivy and make sure they get to bed early” “Alright”


    Rosalynn’s voice didn’t sound unusual


    Calvin assumed that Laura must have messed up something again and didn’t think much of it.


    The car soon hit the highway, racing towards its destination.Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.


    Rosalynn didn’t know exactly where Maddie’s old house was located, only that Maddie was born and


    raised outside of H City, and that she used to visit that house from time to time when her grandparents


    were still alive. After her grandparents passed away, Maddie never went back.


    What was Wayne doing rushing there first thing in the morning?


    And why did he end up at the police station?


    Why call Ableson over at this time?


    Ableson left for the old house about ten minutes before Rosalynn.


    He was cried sick because he didn’t know what had happened, he raced all the way to the destination


    By the time he arrived, it was already dark


    For the past few days, the weather had been turning bad in the evenings, with rain often pouring down


    without warning Ableson found an umbre in the car, and from the trunk, he grabbed Wayne’s spare


    clothes, and hurried into the police station.


    The police station in the small town was tiny


    There were not many people there either.


    Ableson, in his crisp business suit, obviously didn’t look like a local


    The officer on duty knew right away why he was there and led him inside.


    After a while, Ableson saw Wayne, sitting on a bench, his clothes filthy and his appearance disheveled.


    “President Silverman!” Ableson couldn’t recognize Wayne at first nce.


    Wayne looked up when he heard his name.


    A momentter, Wayne went to change his clothes


    The duty officerined to Ableson, “Your boss is quite a character. He’d rather sit here in soaking


    wet clothes than change into the ones we prepared for him” “What happened?” Ableson asked in a


    deep voice, “How did my boss end up looking like this?”


    He intervened in a domestic violence situation,” the officer replied, “He saw someone abusing a child


    and stepped in to stop it. He’s definitely in the night, but the person he beat up is currently in the


    hospital and it’s going to be a tricky situation”


    “Huh?” Ableson felt like he was listening to a foreignnguage, “So why is he all wet?”


    “We dont know We asked him but he wouldn’t talk, the officer replied


    At that moment, Wayne emerged, having changed his clothes


    Ableson immediately handed over his business card, “If there’s anypensation or anything, just


    contact me
