Chapter 26 She Doesn't Cry Wolf
Chapter 26 She Doesn't Cry Wolf
Dayton was just a naive child. Jane would not mention a single word about the problems between
adults. Even if she explained, her son would not understand.
"That's because Daddy and Mommy both want the kid to take after them, while you look like your
Daddy."
Dayton was the miniature version of William, and one could tell that they were father and son at first
glance.
However, Dayton had rich expressions, while William was always aloof. His hair was combed
meticulously, and his shirt was dustless. He looked abstinent.
Jane hugged Dayton and put him on her lap. She caressed his head and felt his joy. The corner of her
mouth unconsciously curved up.
"But I also want to be like Mommy."
Dayton touched his face and felt conflicted in his heart. He rubbed against Jane's body and said
embarrassedly, "Then Daddy, Mommy, I want a sister, one that looks like Mommy."
Jane didn't dare to answer, so the topic ended here.
Jane looked down. She had a deeper understanding about one thing. William was determined about
the divorce. He wouldn't even hide it from her son.
William closed his eyes and rested. Jane remained silent. Dayton looked at Daddy and then at Mommy,
and he finally fell asleep beside Jane.
Halfway in the trip, William suddenly spoke.
"The police have sent a message. The kidnapper pleaded guilty, but he did not admit that there was a
mastermind."
He had someone watch the entire interrogation process on the screen. The kidnapper's lackeys always
answered 'I don't know' when being asked, and the kidnapper only admitted his intention for money.
"I..."
Jane was not surprised to hear this result. It matched the plot of the story.
After she got here, there was a butterfly effect, and the plot changed. She did not get stabbed by the
kidnappers but escaped.
Jane was sure that there must be a mastermind behind this kidnapping.
William was the husband of the female lead and one of the few people who could be trusted. Jane
didn't hide anything from him, "That day, I was tied up and saw a man in a black suit standing at the
door."
Unfortunately, the sun was setting, and the man's face was in the shadows. She couldn't see it clearly
from her angle.
"Someone else?"
William was lost in thought. On the surface, it looked like the kidnapper did this for money. But details
showed that it was not simple.
If there was a mastermind, it would make sense.
He didn't really believe Jane's words. This woman always lied so naturally. This time, it was possible
that she was playing some kind of trick.
Jane was helpless. The female lead had lied too much. But she didn't cry wolf!
It was useless to explain. Then, they remained silent until they arrived at the Duncan's.
As soon as the car entered the courtyard, they heard the sound of firecrackers. The sound was crisp
and loud, awakening Dayton who was asleep.
"Mommy?"
Dayton rubbed his eyes and looked for Mommy.
Mommy was in the hospital these days. He always wanted to go there, but Daddy wouldn't let him.
Now that Mommy had returned, he had to watch her closely. He was afraid that Mommy would
suddenly disappear.
"Dayton, grandfather sets off firecrackers to welcome Mommy back home from the hospital and to rid
my bad luck."
Jane carried Dayton out of the car, and Colin was already waiting at the door.
"You know you have a home?" Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
When the old man saw William, he looked at him coldly.
"Grandfather."
William nodded with his expression unchanged as he strode into the living room.
Seeing that Colin was about to explode, Jane hurriedly went forward and pushed the wheelchair. She
also asked Vance to bring in the toys and snacks she bought.
She could tell that their relationship was awkward. They cared for each other, but they were not good at
expressing themselves.
