Chapter 858 She Couldn't Help but Miss Him
Leaving the house, Violet hopped into the family car, and the driver respectfully started the engine.
Violet leaned back in the rear seat and pulled out her phone to call Brady, who was already working in an office provided by the police department.
When he answered, Brady immediately put down his work and spoke gently, "Hey, calling me this early?"
Violet let out a soft sigh, "I miss you. The baby was smiling at me all morning. I wish you were here to see it."
"Really? She's smiling now?" Brady's voice grew excited.
"Yeah, she is," Violet replied warmly, her voice filled with longing for Brady.
Even though they had just seen each other last night, she couldn't help but miss him already.
"So you need to come home soon," Violet said in a playful tone, "or I'll be mad."
"Honey, I'll come back as soon as I finish this," Brady promised, recognizing her playful tone and feeling pleased.
Violet hummed in response and then got serious, "By the way, if Jade's disappearance is connected to Darian, do you think she might be at his place?"
"I'm not sure," Brady replied. "She could be there, or he might have hidden her somewhere else."
"How about I find a way to check his place?" Violet suggested, eager to resolve the matter quickly.
Brady immediately objected, "No, I don't want you going there."
"I'll take Calliope with me," Violet reassured him. She wasn't planning to go alone.
"I don't want you involved in this. You need to focus on preparing for your design competition. Just do what you need to do and help me keep up the act. We'll see if he slips up," Brady insisted, not wanting Violet to take any risks.
Violet frowned.
Did Brady always want to protect her so much? She wasn't as fragile as he thought.
Determined, she decided she would find a way to check Darian's place anyway. She didn't want to be seen as someone who always needed protection.
"Alright, I'll listen to you," she said, pretending to agree.
"Good."
"Honey, I'll hang up now. I'll call you if anything comes up."
"Okay."
After they finished talking, Violet hung up and looked out the window at the passing scenery. She felt a strong urge to help Brady.
She had to find a way to check if Jade was at Darian's place.
Of course, she wouldn't go alone.
Violet watched the scenery for a while, then sent a message to Calliope: [Calliope, can you come with me to Darian's place this afternoon?]
Calliope replied, confused: [Why are we going there?]
Violet replied: [To help Brady find out the truth.]Calliope understood and quickly responded: [Of course, I'll go with you.]
Violet replied: [Thanks.]
With the plan set, Violet felt relieved and started thinking about how to get Darian to invite her to his place.
By the time they reached the Hall Group building, Violet had come up with a rough plan.
She got out of the car, grabbed her bag, and entered the building.
At 9 AM, the designers at JK were clocking in.
Violet went to her office first, put some eye drops in her eyes to make them look teary, and then sat down to work on her design competition preparations while waiting for Darian to come find her.
She knew he would.
Sure enough, around 9:30, Darian arrived at JK and knocked on Violet's office door.
Hearing the knock, Violet quickly grabbed some tissues, crumpled them up, and scattered them on her desk. She added a few more eye drops and pressed a tissue to her eyes before saying, "Come in."
Darian entered and immediately saw her wiping away tears, with tissues all over her desk.
His handsome face frowned instantly. He closed the door and quickly walked over to her desk, concerned. "Violet, are you okay?"
"I'm fine," Violet pretended to be sad, continuing to wipe her tears, her voice choked. "Mr. Voss, did you need something?"
"I came to check on you. Are you alright after what happened last night?" Darian asked, watching her closely.
Violet kept her head down, her voice weak and choked, "I'm fine."
"Fine? You don't look fine at all," Darian said, knowing she wasn't telling the truth. "You're crying like this? Violet, after what Brady did to you last night, don't you have any thoughts about it?"
"No, we're married. I understand why he was angry," Violet said, putting down the tissue and finally looking up at Darian. Her eyes were red from the tissues, and Darian didn't doubt her act for a second.
"Married? After what happened, you still call yourselves married? What kind of man is he? Violet, wake up. If he can treat you like that over something so small, why are you still with him?" Darian said, his voice rising with emotion.
"Mr. Voss, it was my fault. I asked him to find her," Violet said, sniffling.
Darian's eyes narrowed, and he scoffed, "Violet, why did you go looking for Jade?"
"I wanted to visit her. I knew she was famous before," Violet said weakly. "Who knew things would turn out like this?"
"Well, it's good that it happened. Now you can see what kind of man he is," Darian continued.
