Chapter 1719

However, Adie was just a child. The consequences would be very serious regardless of how good hewas. Margaret didn't want anything bad to happen to him, and she wouldn't know how to help him ifsomething did.

"Just tell them not to worry..." Leia patted Margaret's shoulders and reassured her. "If everything goessmoothly, Ren can come back in a week." "That's great. It's alright if she travels, as long as she’s okay.I’ll take good care of the kids." Margaret heaved a sigh of relief. She didn't ask where Renee was-shewas just happy to hear that she was safe. After a brief pause, Margaret looked at Xavier carefully."Umm... What about Mr. Hunt?" "Stefan..." Xavier clenched his fists and told a white lie. "He’sdeveloping a sightseeing project there and can't come home yet." "Is he safe?" "Yeah, he's safe."Xavier took a deep breath, sounding like he was trying to convince himself more than anything. "I'msure Stefan will be safe!" "That's good. The kids can rest easy then. I'll tell them the good newstomorrow morning." Margaret's joy was obvious. She could rest well after hearing this too.

At night, Xavier and Leia made peace. It was a rare sight to see.

"Shall we go for a walk?" Leia hesitantly suggested to Xavier.

"Let's go!" Xavier took a deep breath and mumbled despondently, "It's been a while since I've had anice walk."

They walked for a long time under the moonlight in silence. Sometimes, only silence could deepenpeople's affection for each other.

"Stefan..." Leia paused, then finally asked, "He's in trouble, isn't he?" She was not a pessimisticperson, but Xavier's rare silence led her to believe that it wasn't that simple.

"Stefan will be fine!" Xavier sounded agitated. "I believe that he has a plan since he's still missing." "Butthere's a rumor that he might have fallen off the cliff and got eaten by wild animals," Leia said carefully.

"It's impossible that there isn't any trace of him even if he was. Quinton and I searched the mountainsfar and wide, but we didn't even replace a strand of his hair, so there can only be one other possibility-he'salive, but he can't come back for some reason," Xavier said decisively.

Leia whispered, "I don't care what his reason is, he should know that Ren needs him now. I can'tbelieve he's out there hiding somewhere!"
