Chapter 482

About five minutes had passed before Neil came out from the living room, his brows furrowed in consternation.

He apparently hadn’t found Russel, which was concerning, but even more troubling was the thought that he may not have found any strange man either.

“Did you find anyone?” I asked anxiously. The worst-case scenario was Neil not finding anyone at all. What would I do if I found the man after Neil left?

I had a strong intuition that someone had indeed entered the house.

However, Neil couldn’t possibly conduct a thorough search. If Russel really was here, as Neil suggested, he wouldn’t have hidden.

What if Neil thought I was trying to endanger him.

I was alone with two children at home, and the consequences would be unthinkable if something happened. Even if Neil accused me of having bad intentions, I had to say.

“Norah isn’t home today. She called me in the evening to say that there was a…..” I was midway through my sentence when Neil’s phone rang.

I instinctively shut my mouth as he glanced at the caller ID and signaled with his eyes that he needed to answer the call.
