Chapter 290


    However, the woman did not show any nervousness or anxiety on her face.


    On the contrary, her expression was full of irritation and impatience.


    Ms. Torres thought, “What kind of a mother would treat her child impatiently? Even if the baby was a


    rtive’s, she shouldn’t treat the crying baby like this.”


    At that moment, Ms. Torres quickly nced into the room. The woman was also cautious and


    subconsciously used her body to block Ms. Torres’ sight.


    Ms. Torres felt sorry for the baby and asked casually, “Why is the baby crying so hard? Has he been


    crying for a long time?”


    The woman looked distressed and said, “He loves to cry, as always.”


    Ms. Torres thought, “How can a months-old baby cry without any reason?”


    If a baby cried, it was either physically ufortable or cold and hungry. Moreover, if a baby cried


    often, it might be because he was in an unfamiliar environment or surrounded by strangers, which was


    difficult for the baby to adapt.


    Although a months-old baby knew nothing, he was sensitive and intuitive. Adults could control their


    difort with the environment, but a baby could not. He could not speak, so he could only cry.


    Ms. Torres did not ask any more questions and returned to her home.


    Ms. Torres knew this woman because they lived in the same apartment. She had met thetter in the


    elevator. Sometimes they would bump into each other when Ms. Torres brought her daughter to the


    yground downstairs.


    As time went by, they got familiar with each other. They would greet each other whenever they bumped


    into each other.


    That woman liked Ms. Torres’ daughter. Whenever she saw her daughter, she praised Ms. Torres’


    daughter for her beauty. Ms. Torres even joked a few times that the woman could give birth to one if


    she likes children.


    Ms. Torres thought, “It’s easy to tell whether a woman has had a baby.”


    It was almost noon when Ms. Torres returned home after delivering the medicine. She thought about it


    while lying on the bed and felt something was wrong. So she called Yahir early in the morning the next


    day.


    On the way here, Christopher asked Harvey to investigate the situation in North Course Apartment.


    The North Course Apartment project waspleted five or six years ago, and Logan was in charge of


    it.


    Then, Christopher asked someone to investigate the woman Ms. Torres

    mentioned. He found that she came from an ordinary family and graduated from university three years


    ago. She had never worked before and after graduation, nor had any intimate rtionship with anyone.


    That woman only shared something rted to food, fitness, and travel on social media. But she liked


    and reposted many videos of dogs.


    It could be seen that that woman liked dogs, but she did not own one.


    Christopher remembered Winnie teasing Logan that a dog had bitten Logan before.


    That dog was raised by Kendrick when he was a child.


    Logan had fought with Kendrick over something when he came to y in the Sce residence.


    The loyal dog probably wanted to protect its owner. So it threw itself at Logan and bit him.


    However, the dog was well-trained. It did not even break Logan’s skin with the bite. However, it was a


    large dog. When it roared fiercely and rushed over to Logan, it frightened him.


    Since then, Logan has been traumatized by dogs. When he saw slightlyrger dogs, he would walk


    around them. Logan also felt disgusted toward the unthreatening smaller dogs.


    Christopher and Yahir took their men upstairs, but Ms. Torres did not follow them.


    She thought, “It is awkward for me to go with them. No matter whether the baby is the one Mr. Sce


    is looking for, I still live in the same apartment as her. I will bump into her in the neighborhood anytime.


    If I followed them to see her, the woman could immediately guess that I’m the one who told them.”


    After going upstairs, Yahir asked hisckeys to ring the doorbell.


    They waited for a while. It seemed like no one was inside.


    Christopher raised his head and nced around. There were cameras in different corners of the area.


    He observed around and noticed that one camera was enough in this area outside the elevator, but


    there were two. Moreover, the two cameras did not seem to be the same.


    Christopher took out his phone to find the contact of the North Course Apartment’s management office.


    He called to ask about the condition of the cameras in the corridor.


    The management office responded, “Only one camera was installed on each floor. The owner should


    have installed the one you mentioned.”


    After talking to the management office, Christopher continued staring at the two cameras. Then he


    walked under the newer camera and looked up at it. He stared at it with cold, dark eyes as if staring at


    the person behind the camera.


    Meanwhile, Logan sat in the office and looked at the magnified face of Christopher on the screen. His


    heartbeat suddenly raced.


    Logan thought, “How did Christopher find it?”


    No one knew about the rtionship between Logan and Shirley besides him and Shirley. After so many


    years, even Josie did not know about it.


    Except for that night when Logan had an unpleasant quarrel with Josie and Logan drove directly to


    Shirley’s ce, he would use another car that was registered under Shirley’s name every time he went


    there.


    But after that night, Logan asked someone to eliminate the recording of the surveince cameras from


    that night.


    That was why Logan dared to put Rowan in Shirley’s house.


    Logan thought, “After all, who will find out about my rtionship with Shirley?” Initially, Logan thought


    about kidnapping Christopher’s son to force thetter to leave Sce Corporation. However, during


    this period, Christopher did not suffer the slightest impact from Rowan’s kidnapping and even


    intensified his efforts to target Logan and his son, causing Logan to be passive. On the contrary,


    Logan did not know how to threaten Christopher after kidnapping Rowan.


    When Logan returned to his senses, he immediately took out another phone from the drawer and


    called Shirley.


    However, Logan did not expect that Shirley had turned off her phone.


    Logan’s forehead twitched a few times. His expression darkened, and he had no idea what to do. He


    could not go to Shirley’s house at this time. If Logan went now, he would bump into Christopher face-to-


    face. Then Logan would inadvertently admit that he was involved in Rowan’s kidnapping, and the


    rtionship between him and Shirley would be exposed.


    Logan’s mind was spinning fast with ideas, but his eyes were staring at the door of Shirley’s house. At


    the moment, he only hoped Shirley would not open the door.


    However, the next second, his hope was ruined.


    Logan saw a man from Christopher’s side take a toolbox and walk to the door. The man fiddled around


    with the tools, and soon the door was opened.


    Christopher also walked away from the camera and followed him into the room.


    Logan kept calling Shirley, but it was the same-her phone was always off.


    Shirley was not at home at the moment.


    After entering the room, Yahir stood in the living room and nced around. Yahir’sckeys searched


    around the house. There were some items, food, and toys for the baby in the room.


    But they did not see the owner of the house and the baby.


    Christopher went into the bedroom and saw a new crib. It looked like it had only been bought recently.


    Other baby supplies were also new. There were cooling patches and bags of medicine used by a baby


    in the garbage can.


    Suddenly, Christopher’s gaze stopped on the corner of the quilt on the crib. He bent down to take


    something out from the corner of the quilt.


    It was a lucky charm.


    Winnie was superstitious. When a child was born into the family, she would ask someone to make an


    inexpensive lucky charm for the child as a blessing. They usually wore it until they were three or five


    years old.


    Kendrick, La, and Christopher had lucky charms as well. So did Alex and Zofia.


    Rowan was born prematurely, so Winnie did not have time to prepare charm for him. She waited for


    Rowan’s birthday party to put it on him.


    the lucky


    Christopher suddenly gripped the lucky charm tightly. He stood on the spot coldly for a moment and


    turned to leave the bedroom.


    Yahir smoked while sitting on the couch. When he saw Christopher return to the living room, he asked


    with a smile, “Have you found anything?”


    Christopher replied calmly, “It’s my son.”
