Chapter 355 Self-Directed Act?

The car plate number they found was fake, so they did not have any clues anymore.

Mark sat on the living room couch silently. He was so quiet that he looked scary.

At that moment, he was so afraid that the past would repeat itself. He was scared that Lyla would disappear from his life again.

Hansel and Gretel just watched him, not knowing what they should say. They were also as worried as him. Lyla had not been back for long, yet something like this had happened, so they were all afraid.

However, what could they do if they kept being afraid? What they needed to do at that moment was to find Lyla. They could reduce the harm towards her if they use less time to do so.

“Daddy, I think Mommy will be fine for now!” Hansel said.

“Why?” Gretel turned her head to look at Hansel and asked.

“If she just wanted to kill Mommy, then she could have just killed her right there. However, she captured Mommy, so I think that she has some goal!” Hansel said.

Upon hearing this, Gretel nodded in agreement. “Sounds true. In that case, Mommy will still be safe for now?”

“I’m 80% sure that’s the case!” Hansel was also not totally sure about it.

Lingo was just sitting by the side. Once she heard this, she immediately jumped up and went over. “I agree with Hansel’s perspective. If they wanted to kill Lyla, they could have just killed her straight away. However, they chose to take her away. In this case, they must have some other goal!” Lingo said as she looked at Mark, “I think that they’ll surely contact you. Now, you’re the only one who can ensure Lyla’s safety!”

Upon hearing this, Mark looked at her.

He could not deny that what they said seemed to be true.

However, he still had an indescribable fear. If Lyla were to leave his side again, he might go crazy.

Seeing that Mark did not speak, Lingo said, “Mark Pattinson, I know what you’re worried and afraid about. However, let me tell you, the more you’re afraid about something, the more it’ll come and bite you. If you don’t want anything to happen to Lyla, then you better be alert. Nobody here will hope that something happens to her, nor is anyone here not worried!” Lingo looked at Mark and said word by word in a firm tone.

Lingo was a person that looked pretty, but her temper was not as good as she looked.

Nonetheless, Lingo could always make someone come to their senses.

Mark looked at her as his dark eyes seemed to be oddly emotional. He then nodded. “I understand!”

This was not the first time that he was awakened by Lingo’s scoldings.

Upon seeing that Mark was all fired up, Hansel and Gretel found it unbelievable. They could not help but admire Lingo a little more.

Actually, Lingo was just giving it a go. She did not expect that Mark would get fired up. Even Lingo was going to admire herself. She really loved herself.

At this moment, the doorbell rang, so the maid went to open the door. Neil and Amanda then showed up.

Upon seeing Hansel, Gretel and Mark, Amanda felt unspeakably guilty. “I’m so sorry…” There were so many words in this world, but that was all she could say.

Gretel looked at her and walked over. “Auntie Amanda, this isn’t your fault. Those people already had plans in the first place, so you don’t have to blame yourself. Nonetheless, luckily you were not there at that moment. Otherwise, you'd have gotten dragged into it as well.

Not only did Gretel not blame her, but the girl had also comforted her. Amanda’s eyes became flushed immediately upon seeing this.

“Thank you!”

Gretel did not say anything else. She just stretched out her arms to hug Amanda.

Once Neil saw this scene, he also felt better. At least Amanda would not blame herself anymore.

At this moment, Neil looked at Mark. “So, do you have a plan yet?”

“No!”

“I have a suggestion!” Neil said.

“What suggestion?”

“Let’s kidnap Delilah so the person behind this will show up, then we can have an exchange!” Neil said.

Mark, “...”

Hansel, “...”

Lingo, “...”

Everyone kept silent and just stared at him. Neil blinked in confusion. “Could it be that I’ve said something wrong?”

Lingo slowly walked towards him and put an arm on his shoulder. She then looked at him with charming eyes.

Neil looked at Lingo. “What?”

“I never knew!”

“What did you never know?”

“The honest gentleman from the rumors has such a straightforward side?”

Upon hearing this, Neil smiled at her. “It’s just a rumor. People always say that you’re cruel and inhuman. Who could have thought that you’d be here guarding these two children so caringly?”

Lingo, “...”

“Anway, don’t look at me like that. I already have someone that I like!” Neil said as he pushed her arm that was on his shoulder away.

Lingo, “...”

Wow, there was someone that would push her away?

Lingo looked around and immediately knew who Neil was talking about. Besides, she had already heard some news.

She started to become mischievous and said, “You’re so emotionless. Although we don’t have any feelings for each other, we still shared one night together…” Lingo then paused at that point. “Forget it, we also had an agreement previously. Once you found someone you like, we would go our separate ways!”

Neil, “...”

His eyes then widened instantly. What?

One night what?

What agreement?

“Don’t you make things up!”

“How am I making things up? What? You’re not admitting it now?” Lingo asked. “Nevermind. People do say that men are all ruthless! I finally get it now!”

Neil, “...”

He looked at Amanda and her expression changed slightly.

“Lingo, don’t take your jokes too far!” Neil warned.

“Okay, okay. There’s nothing between us, nor is there an agreement. There’s nothing in the past!” Lingo said as she immediately walked to the side.

Neil felt helpless.
