After Matteo left the apartment, he found a suitable spot and sat down.

But just as he thought he would not bump into anyone he knew, a car sped by in the neighborhood and someone spotted him.

“Kelly, I’m not sure if I’m seeing things, but I think I just saw your niece’s stepson in Old Town.”

The sky was already dark and the woman in the car was simply taking a cursory glance at the surroundings. If it were not for the sudden beam of light from the tablet that shone right in Matteo’s face in the dark when he switched on the tablet, she would not have even spotted him sitting there all alone.

“Old Town?” Kelly asked, alarmed.

Kelly was at home when her friend called her and told her what she saw.

 

The family had never had a moment of peace ever since Xandra went to Hayes Corporation to work two days ago.

She was all dressed up and her mood was phenomenally good when she went out. But she came back dejected when she did not even get to enter the company.

 

“Are you sure you saw that kid?” Kelly asked, her grip tightening around her phone.

“Hm, I think it’s him. Let me go back and check,” the woman said, taking a U-turn and driving back to where she first saw Matteo.

Kelly stole a look at her niece and shook her head. Xandra had been fervently trimming her plants like a psycho for the whole day.

After a few minutes, Kelly’s phone beeped and a photo showed on her screen.

It showed a boy who looked exceptionally familiar. He had a small bag on his back and he was sitting on a staircase, playing with his tablet.
