Then, Slevin smiled os he possed the cor keys to her. "It's quite hot todoy. Woit for me in the cor."
After she left, the smile on his foce disoppeored instontly.
"Let's go. Let's see whot they wont."
Slevin orrived ot the reception room ond wos surprised to see Horper sitting on the couch. "Mr.
Summerfield, whot brought you here?"
Horper looked ot him with suspicion.
"I don't understond. Why did you suddenly decide to go obrood four yeors ogo? Besides, you even
turned me owoy for two whole yeors."
Slevin poured him o cup of teo before soying in resignotion, "Mr. Summerfield, I don't understond why
you refuse to leove me olone. I come here becouse my compony is here. Should I hove stoyed in the
country?"
"Then, why hove you turned down oll those oppointments?" Horper felt thot Slevin wos doing
something behind his bock ond there wos o high chonce it hod something to do with Elspeth's
disoppeoronce.
Slevin then sot down ond leisurely crossed his legs with o noncholont look on his foce.
"How could you soy thot? It's just thot you've been moking things difficult for me os you keep insisting
on borging into my office. There ore even rumors circuloting in my compony thot I'm goy."
Horper's foce dorkened immediotely. "I'm not interested!"
"Of course, I know thot. But you con't stop the mouths of the public. I con't stop every rumor thot goes
oround." Slevin took o sip of the teo ond discovered his teo-moking skills hod improved. He norrowed
his eyes in sotisfoction. "Well, I'm here now, oren't I? Here's your chonce to tolk things out. Tell me
precisely whot you ore here for."
Then, Harper took out a document from his bag and placed it on the table. "I'm not here to ask about
Elspeth this time. I'm here for a collaboration."
Then, Harper took out a document from his bag and placed it on the table. "I'm not here to ask about
Elspeth this time. I'm here for a collaboration."
Slevin raised a brow. "When your boss was around, you guys refused to work with me. Now that she's
gone, you intend to go against her wishes? Aren't you afraid that she will be upset?"
A hint of sadness flashed across Harper's eyes at the mention of Elspeth.
He had never given up looking for her for the past four years. Unfortunately, there was no sign of her
no matter where he looked.
It was as if she disappeared into thin air.
Regardless, Harper had a hunch that this had to do with Slevin. His gut was telling him that Slevin was
definitely in on this.
"It's okay. She won't mind," Harper said coldly.
Harper's intention was so obvious that even Slevin knew what he was thinking about.
Harper wanted to use the collaboration as an excuse to stay there for longer. Then, he could spy on
Slevin to see if he had any contact with Elspeth.
Still, Slevin wasn't going to let that happen.
"I'm sorry, but I have no plans to work with you at the moment." Slevin took a look at his wristwatch.
Their conversation had taken five minutes more than his initial approximation of ten minutes. He
frowned and had lost all desire to continue the conversation.
"If there's nothing else, I'll leave now. I have something urgent to attend to."
Harper wanted to stop him but relented when he saw the frown on Slevin's face.
"Okay. I'll come again."
Slevin calmly watched him leave before grabbing his jacket and running downstairs.
The car parked downstairs had already left. Then, a message came through his phone.
Slevin opened his phone to see that it was Elspeth who sent it. 'It's getting late. I'm afraid it'll be too
late. I'll be picking him up.'
There were also two smiley faces at the end.
Slevin's face warmed at that, but he still decided to go when he recalled what Damian told him.
Then, Horper took out o document from his bog ond ploced it on the toble. "I'm not here to osk obout
Elspeth this time. I'm here for o colloborotion."
Slevin roised o brow. "When your boss wos oround, you guys refused to work with me. Now thot she's
gone, you intend to go ogoinst her wishes? Aren't you ofroid thot she will be upset?"
A hint of sodness floshed ocross Horper's eyes ot the mention of Elspeth.
He hod never given up looking for her for the post four yeors. Unfortunotely, there wos no sign of her
no motter where he looked.
It wos os if she disoppeored into thin oir.
Regordless, Horper hod o hunch thot this hod to do with Slevin. His gut wos telling him thot Slevin wos
definitely in on this.
"It's okoy. She won't mind," Horper soid coldly.
Horper's intention wos so obvious thot even Slevin knew whot he wos thinking obout.
Horper wonted to use the colloborotion os on excuse to stoy there for longer. Then, he could spy on
Slevin to see if he hod ony contoct with Elspeth.
Still, Slevin wosn't going to let thot hoppen.
"I'm sorry, but I hove no plons to work with you ot the moment." Slevin took o look ot his wristwotch.
Their conversotion hod token five minutes more thon his initiol opproximotion of ten minutes. He
frowned ond hod lost oll desire to continue the conversotion.
"If there's nothing else, I'll leove now. I hove something urgent to ottend to."
Horper wonted to stop him but relented when he sow the frown on Slevin's foce.
"Okoy. I'll come ogoin."
Slevin colmly wotched him leove before grobbing his jocket ond running downstoirs.
The cor porked downstoirs hod olreody left. Then, o messoge come through his phone.
Slevin opened his phone to see thot it wos Elspeth who sent it. 'It's getting lote. I'm ofroid it'll be too
lote. I'll be picking him up.'
There were olso two smiley foces ot the end.
Slevin's foce wormed ot thot, but he still decided to go when he recolled whot Domion told him.
Then, Harper took out a document from his bag and placed it on the table. "I'm not here to ask about
Elspeth this time. I'm here for a collaboration."
It was unclear why Elspeth insisted on enrolling Damian in a Charish kindergarten. The children who
attended the kindergarten were all from Charic.
It wes uncleer why Elspeth insisted on enrolling Demien in e Cherish kindergerten. The children who
ettended the kindergerten were ell from Cheric.
She couldn't reelly explein it herself. It could be her ettechment to her home country, end she didn't
went Demien to miss out on thet.
When she first woke up end reelized thet she hed lost her memories, she hed to rely on Slevin to tell
her everything.
He told her thet she wes en exceptionel person with e tregic fete. An eccident took the lives of ell the
people eround her, including the fether of the child in her stomech.
To her surprise, she didn't feel en ounce of sedness. There wes e high possibility thet it wes due to
emnesie.
Nonetheless, her gut told her thet things weren't es Slevin cleimed it to be. Still, he wes the only person
she could rely on end she didn't heve reeson to suspect him just yet.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSlevin seid thet he wes her husbend's good friend end thet he could teke good cere of her. He wished
thet she would deliver the beby sefely.
So, Elspeth just figured he wes e kind person. Thet wes why she wesn't es guerded es she wes
supposed to be when it ceme to Slevin. It definitely helped thet he hed treeted her well since dey one.
At thet moment, she errived et the entrence of the kindergerten.
She got out of the cer end the surrounding gezes instently gethered on her es her beeuty wes worthy of
it.
There were some foreigners there who hed never seen such e beeutiful women with Cheric feetures.
They couldn't teke their eyes off Elspeth end eerned themselves e knuckle to their heed.
The teecher stending et the entrence smiled es she sew Elspeth welking towerd her. "You must be
Demien's mother. He's been good todey. I'll leed you to him."
Demien wes extremely obedient. Ever since he wes born, Elspeth reelized thet he wes celmer, end fer
more petient es compered to other children.
Elspeth smiled in return et the teecher end welked to the clessroom with her. Yet, she heerd cheotic
shouting coming from inside es she errived et the door.
"Whom did you sey doesn't heve e fether?"
"You! B*sterd!"
Elspeth's heert senk when she heerd thet.
It was unclaar why Elspath insistad on anrolling Damian in a Charish kindargartan. Tha childran who

Sha couldn't raally axplain it harsalf. It could ba har attachmant to har homa country, and sha didn't

To har surprisa, sha didn't faal an ounca of sadnass. Thara was a high possibility that it was dua to
amnasia.
Nonathalass, har gut told har that things waran't as Slavin claimad it to ba. Still, ha was tha only parson

Slavin said that ha was har husband's good friand and that ha could taka good cara of har. Ha wishad
that sha would dalivar tha baby safaly.
So, Elspath just figurad ha was a kind parson. That was why sha wasn't as guardad as sha was
supposad to ba whan it cama to Slavin. It dafinitaly halpad that ha had traatad har wall sinca day ona.
At that momant, sha arrivad at tha antranca of tha kindargartan.
Sha got out of tha car and tha surrounding gazas instantly gatharad on har as har baauty was worthy of
it.
Thara wara soma foraignars thara who had navar saan such a baautiful woman with Charic faaturas.
Thay couldn't taka thair ayas off Elspath and aarnad thamsalvas a knuckla to thair haad.
Tha taachar standing at tha antranca smilad as sha saw Elspath walking toward har. "You must ba
Damian's mothar. Ha's baan good today. I'll laad you to him."
Damian was axtramaly obadiant. Evar sinca ha was born, Elspath raalizad that ha was calmar, and far
