Oh, yeah. The last manager told me that this lady was about 23 years old and very attractive. She took the necklace to the store and inquired who had ordered it.”

The store manager‘s voice was so loud that it jolted Wayne awake like a siren.

Wayne only knew one woman with the surname Gabriel, and that was Anna, so he naturally suspected her.

However, in the next second, he felt that he was wrong. He and Anna hadn‘t even met six years before, so he assumed she couldn‘t have had the necklace.

Wayne had another assumption at that point.

He‘d always suspected he‘d lost the necklace when he stayed the night with the surrogate mother six years ago. However, Leo, the butler at the time, stated that he had asked that woman about that, and she did not have it.

To Wayne‘s surprise, Leo abruptly resigned after bringing Matthew home from the hospital. Wayne asked Gable to find out what happened to Leo but only learned that he had

died in an accident.

Wayne remembered that whenever he tried to figure out who the surrogate mother was, someone would stop him in the dark.

As a result, he assumed Leo was keeping something about the surrogate mother from him.

When Wayne looked up, he noticed a line of birds flying neatly past the window, making the clear sky lively.

Wayne looked out of the window and pondered for a while before calling Gabe and saying, “Gabe, are you awake? Would you like to go to my grandfather‘s house right now? I‘m hoping that you can ask Henry, who has previously worked with Leo who that surrogate mother is. I don‘t mind how you get them to talk, but I just hope that you‘ll find out who she is.”

Gabe froze for a moment before returning to his senses and saying, “Yes, I‘ll do it right

now.”

Wayne went into the bathroom after hanging up the phone and grabbing Anna‘s pajamas from the closet.

He thought, Is there really something wrong with that surrogate mother? So, what could go wrong? Why did Leo suddenly quit after working at our house for so long? I have to figure it out.
