Chapter 409
Upon hearing this, Stanley''s mother, Ember was stunned. After a long pause, she finally asked,
"You must have your reasons to do so. But what I don''t understand is why would you release him
after all the hassle you went through to get him taken away?"
Isai was that kind of man where you had only one chance to defeat him. If the chance was not
seized, it would be difficult to put him down again.
"Letting him out is just a bait to lure the enemy."
Stanley thought for a moment and exined to his mother, "I can''t convict him now because I don''t
have the most important evidence. I''ve searched all the ces, his office, his study, and even his
house, and I haven''t found what I want."
"The first thing he''ll do after you let him out is to check whether the most important thing for him is
still there. At that time, you can know where he puts the evidence."
Stanley nodded, "This is the most foolish method, but it is the only way to get what I want."
Ember thought for a moment before adding, "As a precautionary measure towards me, he definitely
won''t leave anything important in the old estate. He still has a few properties outside, and you can
discreetly get someone to put in some easily hidden cameras there."
This way, even if Isai was released, Stanley would be aware of his every move.
Stanley looked at his mother and was slightly surprised at his mother''s quick-wittedness. "That''s
what I think too, but it''s still not enough to only have a hidden camera."
"What else do you want to prepare?"
"For so many years, he has been apanied by a woman."
Then, Ember remembered that she had once met this particr woman. "Are you going to bribe
her?"
"She is Isai''s most trusted woman. In my opinion, she''s the most suitable person for the job."
Hearing this, Ember smiled and nodded. "Since you''ve already arranged everything, I don''t need to
say more. You just need to take care of yourself. He''s a mad person; if you provoke him, there''ll be
repercussions. He won''t let anyone off the hook."
"I know."
Just like that, the topic ended. Ember held her son''s hand and said, "Stay here tonight. The two
children haven''t been with you for a long time. They miss you so much."
Ever since Sharon''s disappearance, Stanley had been busy looking for her, so much so that he
rarely saw his two children, as he was entirely focused on finding Sharon.
As time went by, it was inevitable that the two children would be distant from him.
Thus, Ember particrly hoped that he would stay tonight.
But Stanley got up and said, "No, I''ll go back. It''ste. You should rest. I''ll go and see if they have
fallen asleep."
Ember sighed.
When Stanley came to the small bedroom, Hazel was tucking the two children in. When she saw
Stanleying in, she quietly tiptoed and went out.
Sadie''s eyshes were still wet with tears. She was sucking her fingers and her nose was still red.
It was obvious that she had cried before falling asleep.
He sat on the bed and looked at them. Physically and mentally exhausted, he sighed andid down
beside the two little children.
He stretched out his long arms and wrapped them in his arms. He looked at the ceiling and slowly
closed his eyes.
Yet, he couldn''t fall asleep.
As long as he closed his eyes, he will see Sharon.
During this period, he was exhausted, yet he couldn''t fall asleep. Sometimes he would rely on drugs
to help him to sleep.
Only in this way could he sleep for a few hours every night.
He slowly curled up as he held the children and muttered, "I''m sorry, I''ve lost your father..."
The sound was so soft that it was barely audible, but Seamus opened his eyes at this moment.
His little face was filled with confusion as he looked at the man whoid beside him and hugged him
tightly. He was at a loss for what to do; whether to call him or push him off the bed.
But his father looked very tired, and he looked very hurt. It wouldn''t be good if he did that.
He really hated him, hated that his mother was missing, but grandma said that it was not his father''s
fault. If he hated his father, his father might be sad...
Actually, he didn''t hate them. He just missed his mother very much. He really wished that his mother
could return to them, and that made him angry with his father.
Why didn''t his father quickly find his mother? Didn''t he miss her?
No one knew how much time had passed in the quiet bedroom. Stanley, whose eyes had been
closed the entire time, opened his eyes, which met with his son''s, and he was stunned for a
moment.
"How did you wake up?" asked Stanley.
"I didn''t even sleep."
"Then what are you doing?"
"I''m looking at you."
"Were you asleep? You were dreaming. I heard you calling Mom''s name." Seamus was curious and
puzzled. "You told grandma that she didn''t leave us on purpose. She had her reason. You can lie to
Sadie, but you can''t fool me."
"... I know you are smart."
"Then tell me, where did Mom go?" Seamus''s voice trembled when he said this. "She... didn''t want
us anymore?"
After all, he was still young and was afraid of being abandoned. "You didn''t want us before, so now
it''s Mom''s turn to leave us?"
Stanley immediately sat up and carried his son in his arms. He looked into Seamus''s eyes and said
one word at a time, "I''ve never abandoned you, your mother too. She loves you very much. You
miss her. She misses you too, even more than you do, so don''t you think that way, okay?"
"Then tell me, where did Mom go?"
"She... was taken away by bad people."
Seamus''s eyes widened. "Then is she in danger?"
Stanley patted his son''s head. "No, definitely not."
Although Seamus really wanted to ask his father why was he so sure, he nced at his father''s
seriousness and he couldn''t bring himself to ask.
Finally, he looked at him seriously and said, "I need you to promise me one thing."
"Go ahead."

"You must find a way to bring Mom back, otherwise, I will cut ties with you in the future."
The corners of Stanley''s mouth curled into a smile. "This threat seems to work well. I promise you
that I will definitely bring your mother back."
"You promise!"
"I promise."
"Then I... I shall believe you this time." Seamus yawned. "You can leave now. I''m going to sleep.
Don''t stay overnight. If Sadie wakes up at night and sees you, she''ll be too excited to sleep. When
you find mom, you cane take Sadie and I back. Now you should go and find mom. I won''t
disturb you."
Stanley stood by the bed, pausing a long time to look at the two children. He said "yes" softly, only
to turn around and leave.
