“All this while when we were away, did you not ask her where is staying?” Catrin asked, not able to believe for how long Arwen had been out of the radius of her control. No doubt she had went astray.
Mr. Carl shifted uncomfortably, under her sharp gaze, lowering his head. “Madam, Young Miss didn’t return to here for a long time. First, she stayed at Ms. Griffin’s place, and we thought she was staying there itself until Young Mr. Foster came to ask about her one day. It was then we realized that the young lady has moved to some different place. I suggested her to take the car and driver with her, but she denied. So, I had no way t
find out.”
Catrin frowned not knowing what to say about. But amidst everything something caughte her attention, and she couldn’t hold herself back from asking. “Ryan came to ask about Arwen?” she asked, a little intrigued already.

Catrin looked at him, confused about the context of his question. At which he looked down at the device in his hand and added, “About this phone? Who do you want me to do?”
Catrin glanced at the phone, before taking it in her hands. Pressing the power button, she tried to switch it on, but it didn’t respond. “It seems the battery has died. Charge it and see if there is any contact.with

skeptical.
“Ask him to come here?” he asked.
Catrin nodded. “Yes, ask him here. I want to take this chance to meet him and see who exactly he is. The sooner I meet him, the soon I will make him leave

Mr. Carl nodded in understanding, before leaving with the phone.
Once he was gone, Catrin switched on her phone and looked at Arwen’s smiling face on the wallpaper. “You underestmiate yourself, Arwen. There is definitely no way someone can stop falling for you. You just lack the little tricks that’s needed. But don’t worry,” she smiled faintly, adding, “…your mother got your back. I will make sure this time, Ryan himself removes Delyth from the picture, and gives you all his devotion. Then you would definitely have nothing to worry about.”
