121 Ch. 121 Get Lori Back
The trip from the secret tunnel until they entered a swallower path took two whole hours. Richard already got Quinn’s location, thanks to Andrew, the lady’s older brother. Andrew was furious when he learned his sister had taken a baby without her mother’s knowledge. Hence he found no guilt in revealing his sister’s favorite hiding place.
It wasn’t long before the super advanced car shook as if the wheels had hit something.
“We have arrived,” Richard’s sudden announcement pleased Anxia. The sooner they arrived, the sooner they could get their daughter back!
In the next second, the car landed on an iron platform, and the iron rose as if they were in an elevator. Not long after, Anxia could see they were in a garage-like place.
Once they were out of the lake water, a spray of soapy water doused the car. A rumbling and washing machine sounds were heard, and Anxia knew the car was being washed.
“Richie, who are you? Why do I feel like I’ve married someone I shouldn’t have?”
Richard laughed at that and stroked his wife’s head affectionately. “Do you find it unfair? I know almost everything about you, but you haven’t even half enough to know me.”
“Are you saying... you’re not the Richard I know?”
“I am me. Everything I’ve done to you is Richard trying to get your heart. But besides that, I also have another secret.”
.....
“And you’re not going to tell me?”
“I will... one day,” he answered in a mischievous tone while giving a mysterious smile.
Anxia snorted in annoyance while Richard grinned in satisfaction.
“Alright, it’s time for us to pick up our daughter.”
Richard took over the wheel and drove the car out of the garage. Anxia glanced out the window and realized the garage was above a lake with a bridge connecting the garage to the main road.
Richard followed the car program’s instructions to where Quinn was holding his daughter. He wished his cousin had treated Lori well and hadn’t found out about their bond. Otherwise, he wouldn’t even be able to prevent his wife’s wrath because he would be furious if something happened to his daughter.
Not long after, the car stopped in front of a three-story house. Richard and Anxia got out of the car, and without waiting any longer, Richard pressed the bell to notify the owner.
The door opened, and the same stunning yet cunning lady appeared behind the door, wearing a pleasant smile to welcome Richard. But her smile faded when she saw Anxia standing next to Richard.
“Well, I didn’t think my brother would ever reveal my favorite place.”
“Where is the kid?” without paying any heed to Quinn’s complaints, Richard immediately asked the purpose of his arrival.
“She’s inside. Don’t worry. I would never hurt her. On that note, I wonder why you brought your maid here.”
Anxia glanced cynically at her husband, expecting Richard to correct her. But strangely, Richard was indifferent!
“Quinn, my patience has a limit. Where is she?
“Why don’t you see for yourself?” Quinn opened the door wider and shifted to the side to let Richard inside.
Quinn investigated Anxia’s expression, but she was expressionless. Even though it was quite disappointing, at least she was sure that this lowly maid already knew where she belonged.
Anxia deliberately lets Richard walk in first to pick up their daughter. If it were any other normal mother, she would immediately rush in looking for her child without a second thought.
But Anxia was not an ordinary girl, let alone a normal mother. She did love her baby, but she could still think clearly and think about the next step before anyone else did.
Seeing Quinn’s sweet demeanor that seemed genuinely sincere when she said she would never hurt Lori, Anxia decided to believe that. Thus she did not act rashly and announced to everyone that she, Qiao Anxia, had given birth to a daughter.
historical
As long as there was Master Yu in this world... as long as her enemies roamed around looking for loopholes to get her, Anxia would never be able to reveal to the world that Lorreine Summer Richie was her child.
That’s why she didn’t want to give Lori a baby brother for now. She didn’t want to risk putting their children’s lives in danger. It would be easier to focus on protecting one child than to have their focus split, which would harm both of them.
Oh, if only Anxia knew that Richard was more than capable of overseeing the protection of all of them. In addition, Diego, Richard’s cousin, had Tiffany II, who had the duty to protect all of Diego’s beloved family members in all corners of the earth. Even master Yu would have to think twice, knowing that Richard’s backers were Diego Regnz and Kendrich Alvianc.
After waiting for a while since Richard stepped inside, Anxia strolled to catch up with her husband. Quinn’s probing gaze never left Anxia, and Anxia noticed it.
She didn’t know why Quinn looked at her so suspiciously, but when she recalled that Quinn confessed that Richard was her fiancé, she started to understand.
It seemed the lady was green with envy, seeing Richard take Anxia out of Hallstatt Island even though the workers there weren’t allowed out for any reason.
Anxia felt irritated and offended because Quinn equaled her with the status of a maid, and Richard, her husband, didn’t justify it. It seemed that Richard didn’t care whether Quinn viewed Anxia as a maid or lowly peasant, not that Anxia cared about it. But she was disappointed.
If she didn’t know that Richard loved her, she might get angry and throw a tantrum by exposing everything. But she wasn’t a stupid girl, and realizing that Richard wasn’t the ordinary man she thought she was, she believed there was a reason why Richard didn’t want to admit that Anxia was his wife in front of Quinn.
Because of that, Anxia sealed her lips. Befitting a good maid, she waited for Richard to come downstairs with their daughter.
