Chapter 460 Neo Went Missing
Since neither Logan nor ra was at home, Neo just stayed in the yroom and painted things to kill
time.
Seeing thendscape painting he was working on, the nanny gasped in admiration. "Wow! You are so
good at this! It''s really beautiful."
She was not fawning or exaggerating at all. ra started making Neo take the art and drawing ss
three months ago in the hope of improving his temperament.
Although the youngest student in the ss, his grades were among the best. The teacher also thought
highly of Neo''s talent in painting so much that she told ra more than once that Neo could grow up to
be a professional artist with proper training.
ra didn''t take those words too seriously. Of course, she knew Neo was a clever fast learner just like
Horace. But she didn''t want to interfere with Neo''s life path that much. She wanted to wait for Neo to
grow up and decide for himself what he wanted to be in the future.
The nanny''spliment didn''t really brighten up Neo''s mood. He couldn''t care less about the painting.
Right now, all he could think about was his daddy and mommy.
Sometimes, he had tried to ask Logan about his daddy when ra was not at home. However, Logan
would put on a cold face and only brush it off by saying that a kid didn''t have to know that much.
Seeing the grave expression on his usually kind and smiley uncle, Neo didn''t dare to pester him
anymore. But judging from the attitude of his mommy and uncle, he figured that they didn''t really like
his daddy very much.
Once he eavesdropped on their conversation and vaguely heard his uncle saying that the reason why
he and his mommy had to move abroad was that his daddy abandoned them.
Although he only met Horace a few times, Neo could tell that his daddy was definitely not the kind of
person who would abandon his wife and child.
Neo''s perception of his daddy wasn''t groundless. When he went to see Horacest time, Horace
thought that Neo was some random kid who got lost. But Horace was so kind to Neo. Not only did
Horace send people to help him find his mother, but also stood there keeping himpany and ying
with him.
Neo grew up in a rather wealthy family and was more sensible than kids of his age. He had seen too
many snobby higher-ups in thepany.
The fact that Horace was willing to help a random child showed that he was not one of those arrogant
snobs. There must be some misunderstanding between Horace and mommy that separated them for
so many years.
Although mommy had promised him that she would listen to Horace''s exnation, it seemed that the
misunderstanding between them still hadn''t been resolved yet. Otherwise, Horace would havee to

see his kid a long time ago, wouldn''t he? But now, Neo wasn''t sure if Horace even knew he had a son
out there waiting for him.
Neo felt a little down at the thought of this. It was just sad to think that his daddy might not even know
his existence. He thought about meeting his daddy every day!
"I have to find a way to make daddy and mommy get back together. They have to resolve their
misunderstanding as soon as possible. I would never see daddy again if they keep this up. But how?
What''s the best way to do it?"
Neo frowned a little as he thought to himself, still holding the paintbrush in his hand. Seeing that, the
nanny thought that Neo might be in a creative slump and remained silent, didn''t want to disturb the
"little prodigy".
After pondering for some time, Neo''s eyes lit up with a great ideaing up to his mind.
"My tummy is rumbling. I''m craving some bread. Can you make some for me? Please?" Blinking his
puppy eyes, Neo pouted as he turned to the nanny and asked.
The nanny had always taken a liking to the sensible and lovable Neo. She could never refuse his
request, not when he pleaded with her like this.
"Fine, I''ll go make some bread for you right now. I''lle up and let you know when the bread is ready.
Just stay where you are, okay?"
"Okay. I won''t go anywhere." Neo nodded in response.
The nanny patted Neo''s head lovingly and went to the kitchen downstairs with a smile on her face.
"This kid is simply too adorable." She thought.
After the nanny walked away, Neo hurriedly got up and went back to his room. Then, he packed a small
schoolbag of necessities and sneaked downstairs.
He nervously watched the nanny''s every move as he tip-toed past the kitchen, avoiding making any
noise that might rm her.
When the nanny turned her back to him, Neo hurried across the living room and rushed out the door.
After he got out, Neo heaved a sigh of relief with a sly smile on his face. He could finally implement his
n.
"Neo, the bread is ready. You cane down now. I added your favorite corn kernels. It smells really
good," Standing by the stairs, the nanny called. However, she didn''t hear any response for a long time.
"Neo,e down quickly. The bread doesn''t taste as good when it''s cold," The nanny said as she
walked upstairs. However, when she got to the yroom, Neo was nowhere to be found.
"Neo? Where are you? Neo!" Not knowing where Neo went, the nanny panicked and called out his
name. Still, no response.
She searched all over the house but still couldn''t find him. "Where is Neo? He didn''t get into any
trouble, did he? How should I exin to ra and Logan when theye back? What if Neo is in
danger?" The nanny was on the verge of breaking down.
…
Meanwhile.
"ra, why did you avoid me back then. And you let Logan..." Horace asked.
However, before he could finish his sentence, ra''s phone buzzed. ra fished out the phone from
her pocket and saw it was a call from the nanny who was looking after Neo. "I have to answer this,"
ra said to Horace apologetically.
The second the call was through, the nanny said, sobbing, "Miss Hutchinson, I''m really sorry. Neo... he
went missing and I can''t find him anywhere..."
