Chapter 159: Missing
Julia hugged Skyla and picked her up. She was pretty shaken already because she couldn’t find her mother, and Derick’s screaming only scared the child. Claire ran out of the bathroom wiping her face.
"What happened?" She asked Julia as she didn’t want to ask Derick. He looked frighteningly mad.
"Sidney...Do you know where she is?" Julia asked. "That’s enough, Derick!" she shouted at Derick who was still mumbling curses under his breath.
"I don’t know. But...I’ll have a look around the house. She might be in the garden," Claire said. She kind of had an understanding seeing how angry Derick was and considering the secret they learned the previous day.
She hoped that Sidney didn’t leave.
Derick, getting told off by Julia, calmed down considerably. He went around the house looking for Sidney. With Rory also missing, he got more anxious. He didn’t want to look for Sidney. He wanted to find Rory first.
Sidney was not in the house. He went to her room to check and saw that she had packed her bags. Except for one unusable high heels, and some formal dresses, he couldn’t find any other stuff belonging to her.
She had left!
He called Lennon to ask if he knows anything. He knew they were talking the night before. He wondered if Lennon took Sidney with him which was highly unlikely. Also, it is necessary to inform the husband when the wife is missing.
Lennon was shocked when Derick informed him that Sidney might have left him. It was tough for Derick to bear the silence from the other end.
"She’s gone, Lennon. Sidney is gone. She packed her bag and left."
"So..." Lennon sighed after a very uncomfortably long silence.
