Chapter 388


    Chapter 387 Heading to Kynd


    "Is that so…" Katherine murmured under her breath, then she asked, "Do you still remember the


    location?"


    Joaquin smiled. "Of course, I remember. My memory is not that bad."


    "In that case, that''ll make things much easier." She, too, broke into a smile. "I was going to ask


    Carmine to investigate the location of the Olsen Family''s ancestral hall, but having you here will save


    me considerable trouble instead."


    The car drove smoothly along the road. The smile on Joaquin''s face deepened. "Yeah. You can rely on


    me at any time. It makes me very happy."


    His statement hade out of nowhere. She blinked in stunned silence for a moment, then she


    nced sideways at him with a faint blush that dyed her cheeks red. "Cocky b*stard."


    Her soft grumble did not escape his ears, but he was not bothered by her insult. On the contrary,


    listening to her made his mood lighten even more.


    At this moment, her phone rang. It was a video call from Noah on WhatsApp.


    "Mom!" As soon as the call connected, Noah''s adorable and tender appearance appeared on the


    screen. She seemed to be in great spirits, and her smile was dazzling.


    Katherine''s heart seemed to subconsciously indulge in the gentle voice, and her delicate eyes


    involuntarily softened at the sight of her daughter.


    "Noah, are you outside?" she asked. Her voice revealed great affection without her knowledge.


    Beside her, Joaquin heard the tenderness in her voice and looked over at her. Just by looking at her


    beautiful side profile, he could see the maternal instinct in her eyes that she unconsciously radiated.


    His thin lips lifted into a smile.


    "Yeah!" The little girl seemed to be very excited. She nodded vigorously, resembling a little chick


    pecking hungrily at the ground. "Xavier noticed that I was going crazy from the boredom of staying


    home all day, so he brought me to the theme park!"


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    At that, Katherine also smiled. Her smile was so wide that her eyes turned into little crescents. "In that


    case, you should thank Xavier properlyter. Was the theme park fun?"


    The little girl''s eyes shone with excitement; it was so bright that they resembled the stars in the sky.


    Looking at her expression, one would almost believe that she had discovered a new continent in the


    world. "It was fun! It was super fun! Mom, it was my first time ying at the theme park. I discovered so


    many fun and interesting rides! Although some of the rides seem rather stupid, they are still quite fun to


    y. Xavier also bought a doll and hairpins for me! Oh! There were many delicious foods too! He even


    gave me a small ice cream!"


    Katherine looked at the bunny-eared hairpiece that Noah dangled in front of the camera and couldn''t


    help bursting intoughter. Her heart practically melted at the sight. Without really thinking about it, she


    blurted out the thought that suddenly popped up in her head. "Make sure to have loads of fun with


    Xavier today. When I get home, I will bring you to other theme parks and ygrounds. We will also visit


    the aquarium and the zoo…"


    When she thought about how this little girl had never been to any of the ces that children often


    visited, an indescribable sense of heartache flooded her heart. Although she had experienced simr


    thoughts in the past, she had never been able to express her thoughts properly due to the worry that


    constantly gnawed at her heart. In the end, she deliberately avoided her daughter and feigned


    indifference toward her daughter.


    Now that they had gotten closer, she finally understood—she was bothered by all the things that Noah


    could never enjoy. In fact, she cared about these things more than Noah did.


    As a mother, she was much too ipetent in her role.


    With that thought in mind, a deep sense of love and pity welled up in her eyes. She stroked Noah''s little


    face with her fingers through the screen. "As long as it''s a ce you''ve never been to, I will bring you


    there."


    Beside Katherine, Joaquin wanted to add the words "Daddy will too" upon hearing her statement.


    Before he could say anything, he heard enthusiastic cheersing from the little girl on the other side


    of the screen.


    "Really? Really? Mom, you have to keep your word! And Daddy too! Our entire family will go together!"


    Then, she excitedly asked, "Where''s Daddy? Why don''t I see Daddy?"


    Joaquin smiled with a sense of warmth that filled his heart. The little girl was his beloved daughter


    indeed.


    Meanwhile, Katherine turned the phone screen in Joaquin''s direction and exined, "He is driving right


    now, so he can''t divert his attention to chat with you on the video call. You can tell him about all the fun


    things you did today when we get home, okay?"


    Joaquin turned sideways to sneak a few peeks. When he saw the red-faced little girl ying on the


    screen, his smile showed in his eyes. "That''s right. I am driving right now. Noah, I promise to y with


    you properly when I get home."


    The eyes of the little girl on the screen brightened even more when she caught a glimpse of her father.


    "Okay!" She nodded obediently. Then, she added in a soft voice, "Daddy, I miss you. Make sure you


    safely bring Mom home. I will be waiting for you!"


    Her gentle and loving words immediately pierced the hearts of the two adults.


    Joaquin pursed his lips. His deep voice was mixed with great warmth and adoration. "Okay. I will


    definitely bring your mother home safely, so you have to wait for us at home."


    "Okay! I will!"


    Afterward, Katherine asked Noah to pass the phone on to Xavier. It did not take long before Xavier''s


    handsome face appeared on the screen.


    "Xavier, I''m sorry for troubling you these past few days." Katherine took the initiative to speak. Although


    her tone was light, her gratitude was sincere.


    Xavier sighed heavily. "What are you saying? Don''t be so polite. Noah is my student. It''s only natural


    for me to take care of my student. Don''t worry. Noah will be fine with me. I didn''t let her y dangerous


    stuff. Besides, she has undergone her regr checkup. The doctor mentioned that she is recovering


    very well, so her diet can be more diversified from now onward. As for junk food and the likes, she can


    eat a small amount of these snacks."


    She nodded, not feeling the slightest worry about leaving her daughter in his capable hands. "We will


    probably return after two more days. I will leave Noah with you for a few more days."


    He agreed without any hesitation. "No problem. Where are you now? Are you still in Zoscistan?"


    She replied, "Yeah, but we''ll be leaving soon."


    "Are you flying back today?" He pondered for a moment. "Will you be arriving in Hovington tomorrow? I


    can pick you up from the airport."


    Unexpectedly, she rejected his offer. "No need. I won''t be back in Hovington tomorrow."


    Her response stunned him. "Not Hovington? Then, where are you going?"


    He was simply being curious, but she did not hide the truth either. A bright light shed through her


    eyes, and she bluntly said, "We''re heading to Kynd."


    …


    At the same time, the mercenaries brought the box to Jayden.


    Inside the living room of the vi, Jayden stared at the exquisite wooden box in front of him with a


    triumphant expression.


    In the end, it did not matter how influential and well-prepared Katherine and Joaquin were. Their


    meticulous ns had failed due to the slightest negligence on their part. And, he had taken advantage


    of that tiny loophole.


    Hah… It''s just like I said. Everything that belongs to Katherine will eventually be mine. As for


    Katherine herself… I will have her dancing in the palm of my hand one day!


    "You''ve done well. You will be rewarded for your efforts." ncing at the mercenaries in front of him, he


    coldly issued an order. "Out."


    They exchanged nces with each other but obediently followed his orders.


    Afterward, Jayden was the only person left in the spacious living room. He picked up the wooden box


    and stroked the surface of the box with his fingertips. A smile curved the corner of his lips.


    "Heh… The material and workmanship of this wooden box are exquisite. The objects hidden within


    must be extraordinary."


    He did not know that the box contained the inheritance left behind by Katherine''s grandfather.


    Mistakenly thinking that the box contained the inheritance left behind by Katherine''s grandmother, he


    was absolutely overjoyed.
