Chapter 453 Meeting Hermosa
River City no longer had a ce for me, going to the border was my only choice, it was the only thing I
could do for Captain Lucas and Elliott.
Seeing that his words didn’t seem to move me, Stanley looked at me and said, “Ms. Conner, don’t rush.
I didn’t say this is impossible. I’llmunicate with my superiors. If you insist on going, we can make a
n. With the advancement of technology, if possible, we can imnt a tracker in your body, or you
can carry it with you. This way, we can have a general understanding of your situation at the border.
You are confident about getting close to Ezra, but he is not easy to deal with. So, we need some time
to discuss.”
nodded, understanding his concerns, and decided not to say more.
He had a lot on his te, and people wereing to him for help. Seeing this, I took the initiative to
say goodbye and left the police
station.

I found out about Walter and Marjorie’s marriage three dayster. The news was told to me by Emma,
and I was not surprised. Knowing that Marjorie was Michael’s daughter, I had thought of it long ago.
Moreover, she was carrying a child in her belly. Even if Walter was reluctant, how could he refuse such
a heavy responsibility and moral obligation, let alone the entrustment left by the olddy and Elliott?
“Tabatha, have you seen Walter? Why did he suddenly agree? Grandina was forcing him to marry
Marjorie and he firmly disagreed, so why did he suddenly agree now?” Emma was full of confusion

knew the reason, but I didn’t know how to exin it to her in detail. Over the phone, I said lightly,
“Marjorie is pregnant after all, he will marry her sooner orter, it’s just a matter of time.”
“But…”
Seeing that Emma was about to say something else, I interrupted her, “I don’t want to hear about the
Hinton family anymore, Emma.”
Changing her tone, Emma paused for a few seconds, eventually letting out a helpless sigh, “Alright,
perhaps everything is destined, Tabatha. Are you busyter? Could you go to the school and pick up
Hermosa for me? One of my students had an issue, I can’t get away.”
Emma was a university professor. Besides teaching, she was rtively leisurely on ordinary days, and
it was rare for anything to hold her back. I nodded, didn’t think much, and agreed.
Hermosa was a middle school student. I really didn’t know what kids. these days were eating. Standing
at the school gate, watching a group of students in uniformsing out, I always felt that I was indeed
a bit short, especially many of the boys. At the age of fourteen or fifteen, how could they already be
close to six feet tall.
Hermosa came out a bitte. Seeing that it was me who came to pick her up, she wasn’t surprised.

She looked at me andughed, “Auntie, long time no see.”
I had interacted with this child a few times when I was with the Hinton family, so she wasn’t exactly a
stranger to me. However, due to my rocky rtionship with Walter, I tended to be quiet and unsociable
during my time with the Hinton family, so I wouldn’t say I was familiar with her.
I gave a slight smile and said, “Call me Tabatha, don’t call me Auntie

anymore.”
When I uttered this title, I did feel somewhat emotional. How time flies, how did I suddenly be an
aunt.
Hermosa pursed her lips and shook her head slightly, “I’ve gotten used to it, I won’t change it. By the
way, Auntie, could you apany me to the bookstoreter? I want to buy a few books.”
“Hermosa.” I hadn’t even opened my mouth when I heard a man’s deep voice.
Instinctively following the sound, I saw it was William, with Rachel, whom I hadn’t seen for a long time,
standing beside him. Catching a glimpse of Rachel’s slightly bulging belly, my heart sank, leaving me
feeling somewhat choked up for a moment.
“Auntie, let’s go!” Hermosa tugged at my sleeve, pulling me along with a stern expression on her small
face, ready to leave.
William stood in front of us, looking at me. He seemed a bit embarrassed as he began to speak, “Ms.
Conner.”
Everyone started calling her Ms. Conner.
Iughed at myself, not really caring, just looking at him, forcing a stiff smile, and responded coldly and
distantly, “Mr. Hinton.”
He seemed somewhat embarrassed, raising his hand to rub his nose. He looked at Hermosa and said,
“Hermosa, tomorrow is the weekend. Dad wille to pick you up and take you to the amusement
parkter.”
Hermosa looked up at her, a warm anger seeping through her displeased face, “No need, I don’t want
to go, you can take someone else.”
Thinking about William and Emma’s air, William was not hiding it

at all now.
I was contemptuous in my heart, but after all, this was someone else’s business.
Taking a slight breath, I looked at Hermosa and said, “Hermosa, Auntie is waiting for you in the car.”
