Chapter 346 He Was Vicious at Heart
Isaac was iin the helicopter searching until nightfall, but he still couldn't find Magnus and Soren.
Nora called.
Isaac looked at the screen, his fingers gripping the phone tightly, trembling slightly, a wave of panic surging in his heart.
He didn't dare to answer the call.
He didn't know how to explain to Nora.
But he also knew he couldn't keep avoiding it. If the kids didn't come home, Nora would definitely find out.
After hesitating for a while, he answered the call before the phone rang a second time.
"Isaac, where are you and Soren staying? It's getting late, let's have dinner together."
Nora's voice was cheerful, indicating she was in a good mood.
Hearing the silence on the other end of the phone, she added, "Don't worry, Mortimer didn't come along."
She knew Isaac didn't like Mortimer, so she had deliberately sent him away.
She hadn't seen Isaac and Soren all day and thought Isaac was avoiding Mortimer, so she didn't think anything was wrong.
Isaac's breathing became heavier, gripping the phone tightly, all the words stuck in his throat, unable to come out.
He didn't know how to explain to Nora.
"Isaac, what's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?" Nora asked, her voice tinged with concern, "Did something happen? Is Soren hurt?"
Isaac took a deep breath and said hoarsely, "Where are you? I'll come to you, and I'll tell you in person."
He was afraid that if he told her over the phone that the kids had been kidnapped, she wouldn't be able to handle the shock and might do something impulsive.
So he planned to go back and tell Nora in person.
If Nora got angry, she could take it out on him, rather than hurting herself.
Nora said, "At the hotel we used to stay at."
Isaac replied, "Okay, wait for me, I'm coming soon."
Isaac hung up the phone and headed back in the helicopter.
About half an hour later, the helicopter landed on a vacant lot near the hotel.
After getting off the helicopter, Isaac got into a private car prepared by the bodyguards and headed to the hotel.
As he approached the hotel entrance, he saw Nora sitting in the lobby.
His heart instantly tightened, and the urge to avoid surged again.
He stood at the entrance for a long time before summoning the courage to go inside.
Soon, he was in front of Nora.
"Nora."
As soon as he spoke, he saw a small figure sitting next to Nora, his pupils constricting suddenly.
Magnus?
Wasn't he kidnapped with Soren?
Why is he here?
Earlier at the entrance, Magnus was blocked by Nora, so he didn't notice.
It wasn't until now that he saw Magnus next to Nora!
Isaac's blood boiled, hope and joy igniting in his heart.
Magnus is back, does that mean Soren is back too?
The reason the police couldn't find them was that they had already returned on their own?
Perhaps because Isaac's gaze was too intense, Magnus shrank back into Nora's arms, looking at Isaac warily, and complained to Nora in a sweet childlike voice, "Mommy, he's looking at me so scary, like he wants to eat me."
Nora hugged Magnus, gently patting his shoulder, "Don't be afraid, Mommy is here, no one can hurt you."
Then she looked at Isaac, displeased, "Isaac, what are you doing? What did Magnus do to you that you looked at him so fiercely?"
Isaac was helpless. Fierce? He was just excited!
Isaac tried to control his emotions, his eyes quickly becoming calm.
But his voice trembled slightly, betraying his still-excited state, "I wasn't being fierce, I was just too excited."
Nora tilted her head, looking at him puzzled.
Why was he so excited?
Isaac looked around, anxiously searching for Soren.
But he didn't see Soren anywhere.
Isaac turned his gaze back to Nora, "Where's Soren? Didn't she come down with you?"
Nora frowned, "What are you talking about? Soren has been with you all day, how could she come down with me?"
Isaac's face stiffened.
What did Nora mean by that?
Didn't Soren come to find her with Magnus?
Only Magnus came back?
Is Soren still with the kidnappers?
Isaac pressed his lips tightly, looking deeply at Magnus.
He and Soren were kidnapped together, how did he come back alone?
After coming back, didn't he tell Nora about the kidnapping?
Nora clearly didn't know about Soren's disappearance, which meant Magnus hadn't told her.
"What's wrong with you?" Nora asked, seeing his changing expressions, her tone tinged with worry.
Isaac steadied his emotions and said to Nora, "Nothing, I'll take Magnus to wash his hands first."
Then he picked up Magnus and walked quickly to the restroom.
Seeing Nora's relaxed expression, he didn't dare to tell her what happened today.
Besides, now that Magnus was back with her, he could keep it a secret a little longer.
He knew it wasn't right, but he just couldn't say it.
In the restroom, Isaac closed the door, looking deeply at Magnus.
Magnus struggled a bit, "Put me down, I can walk by myself and wash my hands."
But Isaac didn't let him go.
He stared at Magnus for a few seconds and asked in a deep voice, "How did you come back? Why did you come back alone? Where's Soren?"
Magnus looked confused, "What are you talking about? I don't understand. I've been with Mommy and Mortimer all day. I haven't seen Soren since this morning."
Isaac's pupils constricted.
Magnus hadn't seen Soren?
How could that be!
He had clearly seen Magnus and Soren being kidnapped together!
Given Magnus's history of lying, Isaac immediately thought Magnus was lying.
He must have escaped alone, deliberately not telling Nora about the kidnapping, and intentionally not taking Soren with him when he escaped.
As for why Magnus did this.
Isaac couldn't figure it out.
But Magnus had always treated Soren poorly, with a bad attitude towards everyone, even cruel at times.
Magnus had once caused Edmund to be seriously injured and comatose, Soren also got a head injury because of him, and Nora's face had been scratched by him.
Unprovoked malice.
Perhaps, Magnus still harbored malice towards Soren, and his recent good behavior was just a facade. Now he was deliberately hiding the truth, wanting Soren to disappear.
