The Hayes family was shocked by Elena's sudden disappearance. She had mysteriously disappeared. Theresia walked back and forth with her arms across her chest. She seemed to be in deep thought, with a slight feeling of guilt arising from her attitude towards her son-in-law this afternoon."How is it, Jo?" Theresia asked the man in front of her, who was standing with his left hand on his waist while his right hand pressed his cell phone to his ear. His handsome face showed confusion. He repeatedly tried to call his wife, but not once did he hear a dial tone. Only the operator's voice said that the number the man was calling was inactive or out of range."It's still the same, ma'am; the number is not active," replied Jonathan in a slightly weary tone."Ah..." Theresia hissed before biting her fingernails. What if Elena found out about his attitude towards Rose? Of course, that would result in the fracturing of their friendship."Have you tried asking her parents?" asked Edmund, who seem

All the teachers who had been watching walked over to Amelie as Matilda was dragged out of the meeting room.

Mia sighed at the stubbornness of her students. As she shooed them away with a hand gesture, they simultaneously said, "Leave us here, Miss. We want to prevent Axel from transferring out of school here."Miss, Axel won't transfer from this school, right?" A student with long braided hair held Mia's hand with a worried look."That's right, Miss. Please don't let Axel leave this school. We promise, we won't l

"So, when are you going to introduce me to your girlfriend?" asked Elena just before she resumed her eating activities.The woman's two beads looked calmly at Gideon, who seemed to sigh. An instant of sadness graced Gideon's handsome features, which made Elena's eyebrows knit together."Why? Didn't you say that you were close to a woman?" Elena seemed to be observing Gideon. But sadness dominated her brother's handsome face. "Come on, brother! Did she reject you?" Elena's question was answered with a snort by Gideon."I wasn't sure if you would be willing to listen to my story.""Why not?" Elena's face showed availability."Because the woman I approached all this time was Amelie."Elena slowed down her chewing as soon as Amelie's name was mentioned as Gideon's love interest.
