Chapter 56

Chapter 56 Bizarre Demand

Typically speaking. Colette would’ve taken Aiden home by then. Why would the kindergarten be calling at this time?

Baffled. Amanda answered the call. “Hello, Amanda Bailey speaking.”

“Hi, Miss Bailey. This is Miss Zimmers from kindergarten. May I know if something happened at home? Why hasn’t Aiden come to school today? I don’t think I received a note either.”

What?! The news came like a bolt from the blue, and Amanda widened her eyes with incredulity. Did Aiden not go to kindergarten?! How is that possible?! Didn’t Colette bring him over in the morning?!

“W-What did you just say. Miss Zimmers? Has Aiden not been to school all day? How is that possible? The nanny should’ve brought him over in the morning.” Amanda stuttered anxiously as she spoke.

Where could Aiden be if he hadn’t gone to kindergarten? Was he at home all day? An ominous feeling rose

within her.

“Have you not seen Aiden the whole day, Miss Bailey? He hasn’t come to kindergarten at all…”

Amanda could no longer hear the teacher, and she ended the call right away to phone Colette.

Meanwhile, Simon, who had been sitting across from her, turned solemn after hearing her conversation, knowing something bad had happened.

I can’t get through to Colette’s phone! Sweat began gathering on Amanda’s palms. What does this mean?!

Her heart began racing wildly, and it felt like it was about to jump out of her chest.

“Don’t call anymore, Amanda” Simon grabbed his suit jacket and pulled Amanda up from the couch at once. “Let’s check the mansion. Don’t scare yourself just yet.”

At this point, Amanda’s mind was blank, and she was completely disoriented, not knowing what to do other than allowing Simon to lead her out of the office just like that.

While Simon sped through the streets, he glanced at Amanda. She sat in the passenger seat with a blanched face, “Don’t worry. Perhaps Aiden and Colette are just playing at home. You know how much he doesn’t like going to school, so Colette might have given in to him,” he said, trying to- comfort her.

“But I can’t get through to Colette’s phone….. Tears had gathered in Amanda’s eyes at this point, and she had a terrible feeling. Could it be…
