Chapter 504: Tracing Her Steps
A bad feeling swept over Eric, prompting him to head straight into the bathroom. He reached for Ella’s toothbrush and touched it—completely dry.
Ella hadn’t brushed her teeth!
Eric’s face darkened instantly. Barefoot, he sprinted out of the room and burst into Dorian’s bedroom. Mrs. Harris was helping Dorian get dressed. Seeing Eric’s panicked expression, she didn’t have time to ask before he rushed off again.
"Why is Daddy running so fast? He didn’t even say hi to me!" Dorian pouted, clearly displeased.
Mrs. Harris chuckled. "Your daddy might have something urgent to take care of, so he couldn’t stop to talk."
Dorian frowned. "Daddy’s been so busy lately, and Mommy doesn’t talk much anymore. My brother isn’t here either—it’s so boring!"
From the side, Mrs. Moore chimed in with a smile, "Don’t worry, little one. The chef will make something delicious for you later. Then it won’t be boring anymore!"
Hearing this, Dorian’s frustration melted into a grin. "Yay! I’m so hungry. I’m going to eat breakfast!"
"You still need to brush your teeth, young master..."
Meanwhile...
Eric searched the villa from top to bottom, but there was no sign of Ella. Gasping for air, he ran out to the garden, calling her name over and over, but there was no response.
