John came into the room when he heard the commotion. “Oh, you’re awake?”

I nodded at him in response as I wasn’t in the mood to talk.

“You must be hungry, huh? I’ll have the servants bring you something to eat,” John said while staring at

the balcony.

That was when I realized Ashton standing there, looking really haggard with his chin covered in an

uneven stubble. He turned towards me when he noticed my gaze, and our eyes met for a few seconds

before I quickly looked away.

The servants brought me some food, and John helped feed me while Ashton continued to stand

motionless by the window.

Having regained some of my strength, I picked my baby up properly for the first time and stared deeply

at her face as if to burn every detail of it into my brain.

After about a minute of awkward silence, John’s voice rang throughout the entire room.

“It’s all my fault. I was the one who hired the nurse that has gone missing. We’ve managed to confirm

that she was working with one of the bodyguards outside to swap your son out. They’ve both escaped

overseas.”

The awkward silence returned to the room once again as I stared at my daughter without saying a word.

There’s nothing we could’ve done to prevent something premeditated. Those b*stards have been

planning this for a long time, so no amount of precaution would’ve been sufficient anyway.

I took a deep breath and glanced at Ashton through the corner of my eye as I said coldly, “Where were

you last night?”

“The secretary that was working for Robert back then has kept a record of the documents that someone

had saved which could prove the innocence of my parents. I heard the secretary was last seen in

Vantusia… I had just boarded my flight when I got your call about something happening to Mr. Stovall,”

Ashton replied calmly.

I kept my tone cold as I asked, “Did you manage to find him?”

“No. It was fake news, just like the one claiming that he was in Minstad a month ago,” Ashton said

honestly.

“Heh…” I sneered at the sheer irony of the situation.

I know Ashton all too well… He would go even if he knew it was most likely fake news. In fact, he

wouldn’t even hesitate to put his life on the line if it meant being able to avenge his parents and clear

their names! So what if he came back as soon as he heard about Uncle Louis? My son was still taken

from me all the same! To make matters worse, he’s a premature baby! God knows if those men would

even be able to take care of him… This is a warning… Ezra and his men took Ashton’s only son to

discourage him from getting his revenge on them. They might’ve already set their sights on him ever

since he showed his talent in business and had this trap laid out for us!

“We’ve been too naive, Ashton… So what if you found the person you were looking for? They can afford

to pay the price of defeat, but what about us?” I was on the verge of having a mental breakdown but

forced myself to maintain a smile in front of my baby girl.

Ashton simply kept quiet and stood there staring at me.

“You can leave now. I’ll find my son and bring him back myself, so you just stay the hell away from us.”

I love Ashton, but I’ve lost the courage to keep on loving him after everything that has happened. Right

now, I’m more than just Scarlett Stovall or the wife of Ashton Fuller. I’m the mother of my two children,

and I’m willing to put everything on the line as long as I can ensure their safety!

Upon hearing that, Ashton walked right out of the room without saying anything, leaving me with John

and my baby in the room.

“Have you sent people looking?” I asked.

There was no way I could rest with my son still missing, so I had to do something.

“Huh?” It took John a moment to realize what I meant. “Oh, yeah, I have. They shouldn’t be able to get

very far traveling with a baby.”
