Chapter 287
Karl kept silent, and Alyssa’s expression faded bit by bit.
She took a deep breath and stretched out her hand to cover her face, covering her tearful face.
Karl reached out and held her in his arms without saying a word.
Alyssa punched and kicked him, but he did not let go.
The two of them had just returned from a long-distance flight, and they were a little tired. After Alyssa and Karl had been making trouble for a long time, they fell asleep too tired.
Karl carried her into the bedroom and placed her on the bed.
He slept in this bedroom for half a year, and now he finally has a mistress.
Karl looked at Alyssa by the bed for a while, then got up and went to the bathroom to get a towel and wipe her face.
Alyssa has cried before, and there are still tears on her face. If she doesn’t wipe it, she may feel bad for a while.
As soon as he wiped Alyssa’s face, Karl’s cell phone rang.
He quickly took out his phone and turned off the sound.
Looking up at Alyssa, he found that she had no signs of being quarreled, so he got up and went out to answer the phone with his mobile phone lightly.
The call came from Smith.
In Sydney this month, he was busy investigating the child’s affairs, but he found nothing.
After all, it’s a newborn baby, it’s too hard to find.
Karl walked to the French window, answered the phone, and asked in a deep voice, “Is there any progress?”
Smith said, “There is a little clue, but it is not certain. For the time being, there is a direct connection with those in the Adams’ family…”
Smith also couldn’t explain clearly on the phone.
Karl groaned for a moment, and said, “Come and talk.”
Time and night came quickly.
When he entered the door, he respectfully yelled: “Sir.”
Karl glanced at him and motioned to him to speak quietly.
Later, he told Smith: “You go to the study first.”
Smith nodded clearly, and went straight to the study.
Karl went back to the bedroom and took a look. Seeing Alyssa sleeping peacefully, he closed the door and went to the study.
The bedroom door was closed, and Alyssa, who was still asleep in bed, suddenly opened her eyes.
When Karl wiped her face before, she woke up, just pretending to be asleep.
Karl has never let her see the child, which is very strange.
Although he was indifferent, he was really good when it came to her, so he still insisted on not letting her see the child, which was a little weird.
She lightly got up and got out of bed, opened the bedroom door and walked out.
Before, she heard a heavy door opening and closing outside, which should be the sound of the apartment door, so she could feel it in the bedroom.
Alyssa walked to the hallway and took a look, and she saw a pair of men’s leather shoes belonging to Karl.
The man who can come to find Karl at home, except Peter, is Smith.
Peter is a noisy person, if he comes to the house, he will not be so quiet.
Then, the person who comes can only be in the night.
Alyssa glanced at the entrance of the study, and leaned in lightly.
The door of the study is made of wood, and the sound of her turning the handle to open it is very small.
Through the crack in the door, she saw Karl and Smith standing face to face talking.
Smith gave Karl something similar to the information in his hand: “Sir, this is the abnormal situation of Adams’ family’s funds I found recently. Among them, Mr. Elder has a sum of money transferred to foreign accounts. I think this may have something to do with the disappearance of the little lady.”
Karl didn’t say anything about this, and he was silent for a while and said aloud, “Where are the other people in the Adams’ family?”
Smith closed the information, shook his head and said: “Others have not found any abnormal capital flow for the time being.”
The two began to talk about other things, Alyssa didn’t understand.
She closed the door, a little confused in her mind.
The “Mr. Elder” in Smith’s mouth, she knew it was Gerald.
So, the “little lady” Smith said refers to her and Karl’s daughter?
Isn’t it true that Karl secretly sent someone to take the child away?
But what does the disappearance of her daughter have to do with Gerald?
After discovering that the child had disappeared, her first reaction was to feel that Karl would take the child away, because she could not think of anyone else who would take the child away except Karl.
If Gerald sent someone to take the child away, what would Gerald do?
Just to fight against Karl?
If it was Gerald, how would he treat her daughter?
Chill jumped in from Alyssa’s limbs, little by little, until she shivered.
If Karl took the child away, he could at least guarantee the safety of the child.
But if it is really Gerald…
Alyssa staggered, stretched out her hand to support the wall, and barely stood firm.
She couldn’t imagine how Gerald would treat her daughter…
Feeling the voice of the people inside ringing by the door, Alyssa suddenly realized that she was still standing by the door and hurried forward and ran back into the bedroom.
There was no need to pretend to be asleep, so she sat on the bedside with her mobile phone, pretending to be playing with her phone just after waking up.
When Karl pushed the door in, what he saw was Alyssa sitting on the bedside playing with her mobile phone.
Karl sat down by the bed, “You woke up.”
Alyssa didn’t look up, “Yes.”
Although she had been staring at the phone, her corner was quietly paying attention to Karl’s reaction.
Karl raised his hand slightly, as if he wanted to touch her head, but after only raising it for a few seconds, he put it back.
Then, she heard Karl’s calm voice: “Are you hungry? What do you want to eat?”
Alyssa raised her eyes to look at him: “You can cook?”
Karl didn’t seem to expect that Alyssa would ask this, or he didn’t expect that Alyssa would talk to him so peacefully. He was taken aback for a while, coughing slightly and said, “I won’t , I asked Best Day to send it over.”
Alyssa said, “Is there any food in the refrigerator? I’ll make it.”
Karl shook his head.
“Let’s go out and buy together.” Alyssa lifted the quilt and got out of bed.
Karl stood up quickly without any movement, but his eyes were staring straight at Alyssa.
Alyssa actually wanted to go out with him to buy ingredients.
Although this wasn’t a big deal before, after such a long period of cold treatment, Karl was a little flattered.
Alyssa put on slippers, saw him still standing still looking at her, and asked aloud: “What’s the matter? I can’t go out.”
Karl didn’t speak, only led her to walk outside.
Karl drove her to a nearby supermarket.
Alyssa knew what Karl liked to eat, so she didn’t have to ask him about the ingredients, she took it and put it in the shopping cart.
Karl pushed the shopping cart behind her in silence. He was obviously a tall and cold-looking man, but he looked like a tamed lion.
Chapter 288
The customers passing by couldn’t help but cast curious glances at Karl and Alyssa, with a hint of envy in them.
Alyssa and Karl didn’t care at all about the eyes of others.
One picks vegetables, the other pushes the shopping cart.
However, this originally harmonious atmosphere was broken by a sound.
“Alys?”
There was a hint of surprise in the familiar and unfamiliar man’s voice.
Alyssa turned her head and looked over after hearing the sound, and she saw an equally familiar face of a man.
After she saw the man’s appearance clearly, the volume was raised unconsciously, “Gerald?”
“Long time no see, it’s rare that Alyssa remembers me.” Gerald walked towards her, his tone as gentle as ever.
Because Alyssa had overheard the conversation between Karl and Smith before, she didn’t look good when she saw Gerald.
Her impression of Gerald was already bad enough, but now she has no good feelings about him because of the child.
Alyssa just sneered. Before she could speak, Karl, who was walking behind her with the shopping cart, stepped forward to block her, separating her and Gerald from the sight.
“Karl is here too. What a coincidence, shopping for vegetables?” Gerald saw Karl’s smile deeper and deeper.
Karl said nothing, pulling Alyssa to leave.
“Gerald, you are here, I have been looking for you for a long time.”
Alyssa, who was about to leave, couldn’t help but stop when he heard this voice.
When she looked back, she saw Isabel cuddling next to Gerald.
As if sensing her gaze, Isabel also looked towards her.
When Isabel saw Alyssa, her eyes widened: “Alyssa? Aren’t you dead?”
Alyssa curled her lips: “I let you down.”
It’s really an enemy on a narrow road, and you can meet Gerald and Isabel when you come back.
Gerald glared at Isabel pretentiously and said, “How do you say it, those media just like to talk nonsense, you don’t know.”
“That’s right, this little thing isn’t a big deal at first, and feigning death to escape crime is not uncommon. I thought I was in jail, but you didn’t get out.” Isabel smiled sweetly.
Alyssa clenched her hands and took a deep breath to calm herself down.
At this moment, Karl, who had been silent for a while, said quietly, “Gerald, take care of your own woman.”
Isabel quickly hid behind Gerald and said softly, “Gerald, I’m so scared.”
Karl sneered, with a gloomy breath between his eyebrows: “Do you know how much it will cost to kill someone now? More than one million can buy a life, isn’t it very cheap?”
When Isabel heard Karl’s words, she was taken aback, her eyes flashed with horror, she hid behind Gerald and dared not speak any more.
She still remembered how Karl dealt with her back then.
She knew how perverted Karl was, and he would say that. Maybe it was really possible to buy someone to kill her.
What Karl had done to her before had taken root in her heart, making her feel scared when she thought of it.
Seeing that Isabel was so afraid, Karl also sneered, pulling Alyssa and left.
…
On the way back, both of them were silent.
Alyssa thought about the conversation between Karl and Smith.
If her daughter was really taken away by Gerald, and Gerald is still messing with Isabel now, Isabel hates her so much…
Alyssa’s complexion suddenly turned pale.
Karl on the side had been paying attention to Alyssa, and he easily noticed Alyssa’s abnormality.
Karl stopped the car on the side of the road and asked her aloud, “What’s wrong? His face is so ugly.”
“Tell me, was the child taken away by Gerald?” Alyssa turned her head fiercely, and stretched out her hand to grab the corner of his clothes, as if she grabbed the last straw that saved people.
Karl’s face was stagnant, it turned out that she had heard the conversation between him and Smith.
He held Alyssa’s hand and said with a certain tone: “It’s not Gerald.”
Alyssa shook her head and said, “Don’t lie to me anymore. I want to listen to the truth. What can I not bear now?”
At first, she thought it was Karl who took the child away.
After returning to Rostenvel, she found that things were not that simple, and heard him mention Gerald.
She had prepared for the worst now, and she couldn’t bear to be deceived by him again.
“I didn’t lie to you.” Karl explained to her earnestly: “It was only found that the funds transferred abroad belonged to Gerald’s account, but it does not mean that he did it. He did not do this. I don’t think he has the ability.”
It is definitely not Gerald’s ability to steal his child from the operating room without knowing it.
Alyssa nodded.
She believed Karl’s words.
Moreover, no matter how strong Gerald is, it is impossible to beat Karl.
She completely believed in this.
“Who is that?” Alyssa asked him quietly, “Who on earth stole the child?”
Karl couldn’t answer this question.
It’s been a month and there is no eyebrows at all.
However, Gerald was found here.
And Gerald can be regarded as half of the Adams’ family.
The clue points to Gerald, which means it points to the Adams’ family.
In the past six months, in order to thoroughly find out what happened to his mother back then, he made a big move.
While he was investigating, some people were obstructing him in secret.
If the Adams’ family did this time, it must have something to do with his mother back then.
It is not clear whether they are warning him or threatening him.
Alyssa was not a fool, and soon thought of the same place with him.
Alyssa looked at Karl’s silent expression, and then said quietly, “It’s related to the Adams’ family?”
The story of Karl’s mother back then was related to the Adams’ family. The story of the old man falling down the stairs six months ago was related to the Adams’ family. She was framed as the person who pushed the old man down the stairs and was also related to the Adams’ family.
Alyssa asked incredulously, “What are they trying to do?”
“No matter what they want to do, I won’t let them succeed. I will get our children back.” Karl looked down at her with an unusually firm expression.
Alyssa loosened the corner of his clothes: “That’s not yours alone, that’s also my child.”
The two returned to the apartment, Alyssa didn’t have the thought of cooking, and the two of them finally let people deliver food from Best Day.
But they didn’t eat much.
It’s already afternoon after dinner.
Alyssa didn’t bring many things, and after a simple tidying, she called Karl in.
When Karl saw her packed suitcase, his expression sank, “What are you going to do?”
