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?
