The Ceo’s Convict Wife

Chapter 1042

He was about to speak when Amelia’s phone suddenly rang.

Amelia picked up her phone, and Warren caught a glimpse of the caller ID displaying the name Lucas.

“Lucas, what’s up?” Amelia asked.

“Amelia, could you please keep an eye out for me and see if Nadine is at your place? If you happen to spot her, give me a call right away.” Lucas’ voice sounded anxious.

Amelia was stunned. “What’s wrong? Is Nadine missing?”

“Yeah, I brought her to the store today, but it got busy, and she disappeared in the blink of an eye. I checked the surveillance on my end, but all I saw was her riding her kid’s bike onto the street. Then, she went out of the camera’s range. I’ve already reported it to the police,” Lucas -explained, “Earlier, Nadine mentioned that she wanted to play with Aiden again. Just in case she comes to your place, you could keep an eye out.”

Even Lucas himself felt that the likelihood of this happening was extremely slim. After all, Nadine was just a three-year-old child. Although he had taken her to the concession stand with him, a child that young wouldn’t remember the way.

“Alright, I’ll keep an eye out. I’ll also search around my area. If you happen to find Nadine, tell me.”

“Okay,” Lucas answered.

Amelia called out to Matilda in the back room, and Matilda came out to help look after the store.

Matilda came out and was stunned to see Warren. She asked her daughter, “Why is he here?”

“He’s just here to discuss Aiden’s matter with me. Don’t worry about it.” Amelia then told Matilda about Nadine’s disappearance.
