When There Is Nothing Left But Love

Then, Ashton hung up.

Judging from his expression, I figured the bodyguard had lost Rebecca, so I suggested, “Calm down. Lavelian Village isn’t that big. She must’ve gone to buy something.”

Ashton nodded and looked at me. “Wait here for me. Just dig in if you’re hungry. I’ll go look for her, and I’ll be right back.”

I grabbed his arm and stopped him in his tracks. He looked at me, completely astounded. Seeing his reaction, I smiled faintly and offered, “I’ll go with you. Nora dragged me around these days, and I know all these places quite well.”

He pursed his lips and rejected, “Eat up while the food is still warm.”

“There’s no rush. I’ll just get them to warm up the food later. Let’s look for her first.” With that, I talked to the owner and exited the restaurant.

Lavelian Village was a small area, and only a few shops sold ice creams. After going through every ice cream shop, Rebecca was nowhere to be found.

We even asked the passers-by to get some information. Soon, the bodyguard came to us and lowered his head. “Mr. Fuller, I lost Ms. Larson on the way back to the restaurant.”

“Did you see anyone suspicious?” Ashton spoke calmly.

The bodyguard shook his head and replied, “I was following behind Ms. Larson and didn’t see anyone suspicious. However, it seemed like she was trying to shake me off.”
