Chapter 381 The Child is Missing.
"Thank you," Nora took a sip of the coffee.
Flynt asked, "How does it taste?"
Nora smiled and said, "I don't know much about coffee, but it's good."
"I'll take it as a compliment," Flynt said and poured a cup for Evella.
Evella praised him, "Although I don't know much about coffee either, seeing how you brew it makes me think it must be good."
Flynt chuckled lightly, took a sip of his coffee, and said, "As long as you like it."
Nora took another sip of her coffee and looked at him closely.
'She hadn't noticed it before, but now she saw that Flynt's face was slightly made up. Usually, women wear makeup when they go out, but they rarely see men wearing makeup. Was this a characteristic of a musician?' Nora thought to herself, and her gaze fell on the lower part of his eyelids for a moment.
Although he had a layer of white powder on his face, it couldn't hide the dark aura under his eyelids.
Nora furrowed her brows, and something seemed off with his body...
"Nora, Evella said you were her best friend and wanted to introduce her boyfriend to you. So, I offer you a coffee in place of alcohol," Flynt interrupted her thoughts and raised his coffee cup.
Nora snapped out of it and glanced at the blushing Evella before smiling. "Evella is like a little sister to me. I hope you treat her well," she said.
"Definitely," Flynt clinked his cup against hers.
Nora picked up her coffee and drank it all in one go.
Flynt's eyes sparkled slightly as he took the coffee pot to refill her cup.
In a place where no one could see, his left thumb pressed down on the coffee pot lid and turned it slightly to the side...
"Nora, have some snacks," Evella pushed a tray of snacks in front of her.
"Thank you," Nora replied without hesitation and started eating the snacks.
"Nora, Evella says you are skilled in medicine and have saved not only her grandfather but also her second brother as well. Is that right?" Flynt mentioned as he sipped his coffee, trying to find a topic to chat with Nora.
"It's common for doctors to save lives," Nora humbly replied, then glanced at his eyelids and asked, "How have you been feeling lately? Would you like me to check your pulse?"
Because he had makeup on his face, she couldn't see his complexion clearly through his face.
She needed to check his pulse to know the reason behind the dark circles he had on his face.
Flynt's hand trembled as he drank his coffee, and his lowered eyes flickered for a moment as he replied, "Nora, since we are in a band and often stay up late, our bodies are not in their best state. But I'm young and haven't felt any major issues so I won't trouble you."
Hearing him say this, Nora didn't insist. "Youth is an asset, but you can't keep consuming it. You still need to pay attention to maintaining a balance between work and rest. Otherwise, when your body is exhausted, it will be too late to replenish it," Nora advised.
Flynt nodded, and said, "Nora, you are right; I will keep that in mind. Let's drink coffee." He gestured for Nora to drink her coffee.
Nora smiled, lifted her cup to her lips, and took a sip of coffee.
Flynt sipped his coffee and subtly observed her.
Suddenly, Nora's phone rang.
Her actions of drinking coffee paused; she put down her cup and glanced at the caller ID. The call was from the head teacher of the kindergarten where her three children attended.
Normally, the head teacher would only call her if something was wrong. Nora furrowed her brows and felt a sense of uneasiness in her heart.
She answered the call, "Ann, what's wrong?"
"Samantha's mom, please come to the school immediately; Billy is missing," the head teacher said in a worried voice.
Nora's face turned pale. "What did you say? Billy is missing! When did this happen? How could he go missing!" she questioned, frantically.
"After our afternoon break, we were doing activities on the playground; he went to the bathroom and then disappeared," the head teacher said briefly.
Just like that, he disappeared! Nora tightened her grip on her phone, her chest heaving. "Have they searched the school?" she asked.
"Yes, the school is currently making every effort to find him," the homeroom teacher replied.
"I see. What about Alex and Samantha? Are they okay?" Nora asked.
"They're fine, they're with me... hey, Samantha, where's Alex?" Ann replied.
Samantha replied, "He went to check the surveillance cameras."
Nora heard her daughter's quivering voice on the phone, and she felt extremely anxious. She wished she could go to school immediately.
She suppressed her restless emotions. "Ann, I'm not in Houston at the moment, so it may take some time for me to get to the school. Please inform me of any updates," she instructed.
"All right," Ann answered,
After hanging up, Evella, who was sitting beside Nora, asked, "Nora, something happened to Billy, didn't it?"
"Yes, he suddenly disappeared at school. I'm sorry, I have to leave right away." Nora's face turned pale as she got up.
"Don't worry, Nora, he will be fine," Evella said, expressing her concern while trying to comfort her.
Nora forced a smile, nodded slightly at Flynt, and then left quickly.
After she left, Flynt sat down and leisurely sipped his coffee.
His gaze fell on Nora's cup of coffee, and a hint of regret passed through his eyes. It was close; she almost drank it. But there was no rush; there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.
"How could Nora's kid just go missing ?" Evella furrowed her brows, puzzled and worried.
Flynt glanced at her and picked up the coffee pot to refill her cup. "Maybe the child was being naughty and ran off to play when no one was paying attention. Don't worry, keep drinking your coffee," Flynt explained.
Evella seemed absent-minded.
She had seen those three children before, and her intuition told her that they were not the type to run around recklessly.
"Flynt, I won't drink anymore. I need to go home and let my family know, see if they can help Nora," Evella said without waiting for Flynt's response. She picked up her bag and hurriedly left.
Flynt looked at the coffee in his hand, sneered softly, 'The simple-minded woman also slipped away. But no matter how she slipped, it couldn't escape the hunter's grasp.' He drank it all in one gulp.
After Nora left the coffee shop and got into the car, she called Aaron.
"Aaron, Billy disappeared at school." There was a slight tremor in her voice. "Do you think Ken had something to do with it?" she asked.
The child couldn't have disappeared from school for no reason. Unless someone took him away without anyone noticing.
She hadn't offended anyone except Ken.
At this moment, Aaron, who just had a conversation with Ross, received a phone call.
Upon hearing Nora's words, his face turned pale, and a hint of sternness flashed in his deep eyes.
"Don't worry, I will make sure the child is safe," Aaron promised. Hearing his steady voice, Nora's heart settled a bit.
Nora inquired, "Where are you? I want to return to Houston immediately."
Aaron replied, "All right, I'll have a helicopter sent over right away."
Nora replied, "Okay."
After hanging up, Aaron said to Ross, "The Rochester Society should be active in Houston. They have kidnapped a child, and I hope you can protect that child. If you can't, our cooperation will end here!"
Ross, wearing black clothes and pants, just tossed a piece of chewing gum into his mouth.
Hearing this, he chewed on the gum and grinned mischievously and assured, "Mr. Gordon, believe me, I won't let you down."
