Gosh! Please tell me this is not happening! Sasha could hear her heart pounding away as thesurroundings suddenly became muted. “Vivi, where's Matt?” “Matt? He's inside his room. I didn’t seehim coming out, Mommy,” Vivian replied without taking her eyes off the paper plane in her hand.She had been folding paper planes on the floor for some time and did not even realize that herbrother was missing. Vivian was not a very observant kid. She was still young and unlike herbrothers, she was not very sensitive to her surroundings. She put the paper plane down and blinkedher eyes at Sasha in oblivion. Sasha clicked her tongue at her clueless daughter. She knew she hadto go look for Matteo on her own.Grabbing an overcoat from the clothes stand, she hurried out of the house without losing anothermoment. It was almost seven in the evening and night was falling. —— Over at Royal Court One,the clock struck seven—it was dinner time. When Sebastian heard Wendy calling from downstairs,he quickly tidied up the stuff in his study and went downstairs after a whole day of tiring work.“Here you are, Mr. Hayes. I've been knocking on Ian's door a few times, but he refused to come out.What should I do now?” the anxious housemaid asked, clasping her hands before her chest. *Don't worry, I'll go get him,” Sebastian said, turning towards lan’s room. He had been working thewhole day, and just as he thought he could finally have dinner and relax, lan was being difficult. Afrown spread across his brows on his tired face as he headed towards the nursery. “lan, open thedoor, Daddy's here. It's dinner time.” No one answered. There was dead silence, as if there was noone inside. Is he asleep? The frown on Sebastian's brows deepened and he turned the door handle.Behind Sebastian, Wendy poked her head in and looked around. “There's no one here. Where's Mr.lan?” the maid asked nervously. Her face started turning pale and she gasped in horror. EvenSebastian was shocked. The frown instantly vanished and his eyes widened in fear as he checked outevery corner of the room. lan was a bad-tempered child, and he liked locking himself in his ownroom whenever he was upset—but he would never leave without telling anyone. He was not that ill-behaved.He knew Sebastian would be furious if he were to do it. Where on earth is he? The veins onSebastian's forehead throbbed like they were going to burst. “Summon all the guards! Find outwhat happened!” he roared as he darted downstairs in light speed. “Yes, Mr. Hayes!" Wendy criedout and followed after him. She knew things were going to turn really ugly this time. it's already solate at night, where can lan be? Everyone will be in deep trouble if we can't replace the kid anywhere inthe compound. Wendy gathered all the guards within just a couple of minutes. The whole villa wasbrightly lit and the whole team was mobilized to look for the missing child. Meanwhile, Matteo wasalready outside of the villa when everyone was frantically searching for him. It was totally not hisintention to leave without telling anyone. After receiving Vivian's text, his original plan was to waittill tomorrow morning when Daddy would be out for work. But lan called him twenty minutes agoand his whole plan just went haywire.“Is Mommy going to desert me again?” lan asked when he was on the phone with Matteo. Matteotried explaining everything to him and assuring him, but to no avail. “It's not like that, lan. Mommydid that because she thought you were me. You must understand that she was worried crazy.” “So, itmeans she chose you over me, right?” lan asked coldly after considering the issue from every angle.lan had always thought that Sasha could not wait to bring Matteo back to Clear because she wasworried sick and she felt guilty. But when lan thought harder about the whole thing, it also meantthat Sasha was abandoning his eldest son again.Matteo really did not know how to comfort lan, but before he could do anything, lan had alreadyhung up. Matteo tried calling him again, but lan had already switched off his smartwatch and wasno longer reachable. This made Matteo broke out in cold sweat. So instead of just waiting for lan’snews, Matteo stole away immediately to look for him. He was afraid lan would do something stupidBy the time he got off the cab and dashed up to his house, only Vivian was home.“You're back? lan’s gone and Mommy's looking for him right now. What should we do now?” Vivianran over and asked anxiously the moment she realized it was Matteo who came back. She quicklyfilled Matteo in on everything that had happened at home. Matteo’s face darkened with worry as helistened to Vivian. I knew it. I knew something's gonna happen. Seriously, why does this little bore havesuch a short temper? Can't he just wait a little longer? Matteo paced around in the house with hisheart in his mouth. Thoughts raced through his mind as he tried to come up with a plan. He ruffledhis hair in frustration before dashing for the door and headed out to look for lan. He figured itwould be easier for him to look for lan since he had called him on his smartwatch earlier on. As askilled hacker, Matteo could use his tablet to locate lan.
