Chapter 618 The First Official Meeting
Jacob was about to make a move, but Barbara gave him a look. Besides, even if he did, he was no match for Jeffery.
Francis suddenly threw himself into Jeffery's arms, shouting, "Jeffery."
"Good boy, Francis," Jeffery patted Francis on the back.
"Jeffery, I'm so scared!" Francis cried out.
"Don't be scared, don't be scared," Jeffery patted Francis on the back again, "I'll take you home."
With that, he placed Francis in the back seat of the car. People often say that children who experience kidnapping can be psychologically scarred. Francis knew this was a kidnapping but had to pretend he didn't know anything. He was very clever and strong, but the psychological impact must have been significant.
At Chloe's house.
Jane came over after work. Now that Chloe was back, she took the opportunity to visit the Blake Mansion and bond with Maya.
Chloe didn't attend her class reunion today and went straight home. She paced back and forth in her room.
Jane was also trying to think of a solution and had cursed Barbara several times.
Maya kept saying, "Blame me, blame me. I always knew Jacob wasn't a good person, but the child had just gone through a kidnapping. How could I have known which incident was real?"
"People like Barbara should be killed!" Jane sat on the couch, angrily denouncing Barbara.
Jeffery knocked on the door, holding the child.
Donovan was still at the police station. The police had just located Barbara and were about to set out when Chloe called Donovan to say that Francis was home. Donovan rushed home immediately.
The police had already gone to apprehend Barbara and Jacob.
Chloe was on the verge of tears.
Jeffery handed the child to Chloe.
Chloe held Francis, her expression one of relief. Francis was so adorable. How could she have been so heartless to stay away for years? Chloe cried.
Maya patted Jeffery, "Why are you back?"
"Francis is very smart. He knew how to call me and even told me his location. I've never seen such a clever child in my life," Jeffery said, stroking Francis's head.
At this moment, Jane was sitting on the couch, looking at Jeffery.
Jeffery was so handsome, really handsome. The last time at the school gate, Jane had only caught a glimpse of Jeffery. Jeffery might have seen her, or maybe not, but seeing him again felt like a revelation. Anyway, Jeffery was very handsome, standing tall with one hand in his pocket.
"And who is this?" Jeffery didn't recognize Jane. Jane had video-called him several times, but always wore a mask to hide her girlish fantasies. Besides, doctors wearing masks is normal, so even though Jeffery had guessed she might be Jane, he didn't dare to confirm it out of politeness.
"This is Dr. Allen," Chloe said, still immersed in her tense emotions. She knew this was Jeffery and Jane's first official meeting, so she didn't bring up Jane's age.
"Dr. Allen, thank you for taking care of my mom and for the things you sent me." With that, he extended his hand to shake Jane's.
Jane also extended her hand. Jeffery's hand was very warm, almost making Jane flinch. When their hands clasped, Jane felt a dizzying sensation. He was so handsome, incredibly handsome. Jeffery's eyes were very bright, clearly showing he was a simple and kind-hearted person.
