Chapter 191: A Deadly Father
After listening to the conversation between Robert and Sherry, I was simply speechless, it seems that this Sherry, is really loyal to Robert.
I looked over at Alice and asked, full of confusion, “How did they do that? Wasn’t the kid in vacation class? The police checked the surveillance and didn’t find anything unusual, so how on earth did she take it?”
Alice smiled an evil smile, her eyes hiding a chilling aura that made people look away.
My heart couldn’t help but tighten, and the thought suddenly came to me that this Alice didn’t deserve any sympathy, her heart was extremely dark, and she could to pounce on you and tear you apart at any time.
Alice looked at me and smiled faintly, “There’s only one way to be unguarded, and that’s to be affectionate!”
“Robert?” I trailed off incredulously, “You mean Robert took cover?”
“Not convinced?” Alice asked me with a grin, “The idea is set in stone, what does he care what way he acts?”
I can’t help but shake my head and inevitably think of my children.
This man, too, was their father! I felt a chill run down my back.
Alice even gloated and laughed, “Don’t you forget, Robert is Ryan’s dad, of course he has ways he can take him away!”
“Not that it was Sherry who did it?”
“Yeah! It was indeed Sherry who stepped in! No need for Robert to show his face!” Alice nodded fervently at me in affirmation.
“In case you didn’t know, Robert was violent towards Amelia over the Jazzy incident and had Sherry add fuel to the fire, so you can imagine what would happen to her! Steven, at this point in time, simply shunned her and certainly didn’t care about her situation.” Alice pontificated.
I didn’t interrupt and listened intently.
“And, coupled with the gigolo incident and another run-in with Steven, there had been no questions asked about that mother and child for several days, and naturally Amelia was resentful of Robert.
When he was ready to pick up the boy, Robert made a deal with Ryan that he would take him out for a nice lunch, but only if his mom wasn’t allowed to know.
Robert let the kid sneak out first, said he’d call the teacher when he got out or he was afraid the teacher wouldn’t let him back in when he was done eating!”
I shook my head with a bitter smile, this beast, even his own child.
“The boy was delighted, of course, and at noon, while the teacher was dividing up the children’s meals, there was a lot of commotion, with children going to wash their hands, some going to the restroom, and others running wild in the hallways…. And Ryan took advantage of the chaos and slipped out of his vacation class.
Sherry’s car was parked behind the pavilion on the greenbelt, and Ryan, who had exited the unit, catapulted right into the car, where the surveillance wouldn’t even shine, and she easily picked up the child.
It’s the same as the child going along voluntarily and of his own accord! Everyone complicates simple things.”
“Looks like the police were misled too!” I exclaimed, feeling particularly ridiculous.
No wonder they haven’t been able to find any clues and are still puzzling over how such a big kid was taken out. I didn’t realize that he had legs, so he ran out of the house on his own, just like he did in a hide-and-seek operation.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Just avoid the surveillance at the entrance of the unit and it’s OK! But I have to say, he has a dad who is too much of a deadbeat!
“So where’s the baby now?” I asked Alice with a bit of urgency.
I don’t know why, but I have a bad feeling that the boy is in danger. If at first Robert was just trying to divert everyone’s attention for fear of drawing fire, for fear that I would turn against him, for fear that I would force him to do the DNA and that it would jeopardize his next plan.
Now, then, it probably didn’t occur to him that the trend of this matter was beyond his control.
There’s no excuse for him to say he taught Amelia a lesson if he took the child, or if he wanted to have a secret contact with the child without the outside world interfering and wanting to be hyped up again!
The big deal is that even I can’t fault the father-son relationship.
But now Robert is wrong in that he shouldn’t have let Sherry intervene.
Of course, another reason comes to mind …
