Chapter 474 Trick Winston
"Yes, otherwise Maria would be over the moon."
Lauren chuckled. "Thank you so much, Miss Abella."
"No need to thank me," Abella replied.
Just then, someone called her.
"Abella, why are you up so early?"
It was Winston, who had noticed the light in Abella's room on until 1 a.m. last night.
He didn't expect her to be up so early today.
"I'm not sleepy." Abella looked up. "Did you sleep well, Winston?"
"I couldn't sleep at first, but the scent of the essential oil you gave me helped me fall asleep." Winston found it quite miraculous. He hadn't slept so soundly and deeply in a long time.
Ophelia was curious about essential oils. They seemed to be very effective, and she wanted one, too!
Abella noticed the envy in her eyes and asked softly, "Would you like one? I'll give you one later."
"Thank you, Miss Abella!" Ophelia was thrilled.
"Accessible to all present." Abella looked at the other two.
Lauren and Riley were delighted to hear that they would also receive one.
"Miss Abella, you're so kind."
Why was there such a big difference between the two heiresses of the house?
Lola had received the best education since she was young and had been immersed in the best family atmosphere, so why was her upbringing so poor in the end?
Looking at Miss Abella, who had grown up in adversity, was outstanding in every way. The gap between people was indeed significant.
"Have you had breakfast?" Winston reached out and pulled Abella to his side, asking in a low voice as they walked, "Is there any news from over there?"
"A little," Abella replied, not going into details as there were still a few servants around.
Winston turned and said, "You can all leave."
"Yes." As Ophelia was about to leave, she couldn't help but say,
"Winston and Miss Abella have such a good relationship. Even though they haven't lived together for so many years, the bond between them is still..."
Before she could finish her sentence, she turned and saw Lola and Maria standing on the spiral staircase, and she was so scared that she couldn't speak.
Maria gave her a fierce look.
Ophelia hurriedly lowered her head and left, feeling unlucky to run into the two of them again.
Riley and Lauren also left, leaving only the two people on the spiral staircase, both of them with unpleasant expressions.
"These foolish people really think they're capable, daring to talk behind our backs."
Lola's mind echoed what Ophelia had said, and she remembered the way Winston had whispered to Abella. Her hand unconsciously clenched into a fist.
Damn Abella, how did she manage to do it?
Winston dismissed all the servants in the dining area, and when he saw that there was no one around, Abella said, "My people checked the flights to the United States in the past year, and there was no record of Nicole leaving the country."
"So, Nicole could still be in the country?" Winston was suddenly a little excited.
"There are three possibilities: one is that she is indeed still in the country, the other is that she went to the United States, but someone erased her departure record, and it was not found. And the third possibility is that she went to another country."
Abella then added, "I wonder if she changed her name in the middle; if she did, it would be even more difficult to find her. Because it involved a long period, a full year, and the world was so big, it was actually very difficult to find her."
The light in Winston's eyes suddenly dimmed. Yes, if she wanted to hide or if she was being held somewhere and couldn't show up…
Winston didn't dare think further.
"However, there was indeed a record of her parents leaving the country two or three months ago," Abella said.
Abella's words concerned Winston.
"Where did they go?"
"Florida."
Winston didn't know whether to worry or be anxious. "If Nicole is not in Florida, it's useless for them to go," he said.
Moreover, they had never left the small town for most of their lives, and now they were going abroad to such a faraway place that they were unfamiliar with it.
"I've already had someone check on their whereabouts, and I believe we'll have news soon." Abella saw that Winston was not in a good mood and said softly, "This matter needs time, and there are too many factors involved. You should take good care of yourself now and save more energy for the future."
Hearing Abella's comforting words, Winston couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart. He didn't have much confidence in his ability to find Nicole.
But seeing Abella's sensible and lovely appearance warmed his heart and comforted him.
It turned out that having a sister felt so good. Why didn't he have this feeling with Lola before?
"Don't let yourself be down; eat something first," Abella said.
Winston didn't expect that it was Abella who showed extraordinary abilities now, which was surprising and unexpected. Looking at her calm and wise face, she could handle anything. It inexplicably made people feel at ease.
Abella also picked up her utensils and served him a few dishes.
After Winston finished eating, Abella said in a low voice, "I'm going to Valleydale. There are still four unidentified people locked up there."
Winston was about to say that he would go too when he heard a voice.
"Winston!!" Lola ran over. When she saw Abella, she smiled as if nothing had happened in the morning and greeted her sweetly.
"Winston, I have something to talk to you about!" Lola said.
Abella glanced at Winston. "I'll go first."
"Wait..." Winston called out.
Winston really wanted to follow, but Lola quickly grabbed his arm and asked with a smile, "Winston, I've been waiting for you all morning! I have something to tell you."
Winston saw Abella's retreating figure and could only say, "What is it? You can tell me."
"Let's talk while we walk." Lola took Winston's hand and led him to the garden. "We haven't taken a walk together for a long time. When we were young, I used to hold your hand and whisper to you. I didn't expect that after we grew up, the time we'd spent together would dwindle. Let alone whispering, we haven't even had a normal conversation in a few sentences."
"I have been a little busy these days and haven't been able to find time to accompany you." While Winston felt guilty, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, did you go shopping last night?"
Lola had been thinking about how to bring up this topic, never expecting Winston to bring it up himself! She was secretly happy, but she didn't show it on the surface.
"Yes, Maria went with me," she answered.
"I had something come up last night, so I didn't mean to stand you up." After Winston finished explaining, he looked at Lola beside him and asked with concern, "Did you buy anything you like?"
"Yes!" Lola said happily, "There are so many new arrivals this season; they are so beautiful, I couldn't help but buy a few more."
As she said this, she even stuck out her tongue on purpose, revealing a playful side.
