Chapter 193: Chapter 191: Following the Trail
"Bitter! Bitter!"
Elliana Lyle grimaced from the bitterness of the lotus seed core, her little face all twisted up!
But soon, a pair of slender hands handed her a lotus seed without its core.
The white lotus seed seemed embedded in the fingertips, like an eye-catching piece of art.
Elliana quickly opened her mouth to catch it, the lotus seed’s sweetness flooding her mouth, instantly dispelling much of the bitterness.
"Norman Bennett, let’s pick some more to bring back, lotus seed chicken is delicious." Saying that, she also started peeling lotus seeds and fed one to the man after removing the core.
After picking quite a few lotus pods, it was already five in the afternoon, and by the time they headed back, it had turned dark.
Elliana ran into the house with a large bundle of lotus pods in her arms, but Lana said Hannah Collins had gone out and hadn’t returned yet.
However, she left without taking any luggage, so she must be coming back, while Tiana Harris was in Little Lotus’ room, and Elliana handed over the large bundle of lotus pods to Lana, then ran towards the cat house.
"Tiana, Tiana?"
Upon entering, she found Tiana holding a laser cat toy while Little Lotus was trying hard to catch the red dot on the cat climbing frame.
"Tiana, I brought back lotus seeds, come on."
...
After dinner, she started discussing things with Tiana.
"Tiana, you should move out of the Red Blossom Neighborhood, our studio has staff dorms, each with one bedroom, a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom, and the security Norman hired is absolutely reliable, so you don’t have to worry about harassment from your family or Shane Donovan."
After speaking, she quietly watched Tiana, waiting for her response.
However, Tiana didn’t hesitate, nodding directly, "Okay, then I’ll go back and pack tomorrow."
"Alright, I’ll help you call a moving truck tomorrow."
"No need, no need, the furniture and appliances belong to the landlord, I can pack my things in one bag."
The next day.
Hannah hadn’t returned all night, she said over the phone she had gone to see her brother.
Today, she was going to accompany Tiana to move, then rush over to see Luna, after all, Luna wanted her there before five in the afternoon.
Upon driving to where Tiana lived, the place was a mess! The water dispenser was split into several parts, glass from the coffee table was scattered everywhere, and the wardrobe in the bedroom had fallen onto the bed!
There wasn’t a single intact spot in the entire house!
The two knew very well who was behind this.
Tiana was stunned in the living room; she would definitely have to compensate the landlord for this mess! But in her current state, she couldn’t afford to pay!
Sensing what Tiana was thinking, Elliana comforted her, "Compensation is necessary, but you don’t have to pay, we’ll take legal action, we have a lawyer."
After properly arranging things for Tiana, she handed the matter over to Andrew Hue, and then hurried to meet Luna, who was already urging.
At the care center, Luna looked displeased, "What time did you get up? So slow?"
Elliana was slightly taken aback, had she missed the time? That couldn’t be, right? She hurriedly raised her wrist to check her watch, it was only one o’clock in the afternoon.
So she said, "Didn’t you say to be here before five in the afternoon? I’m ahead of time."
Luna propped her chin with her left hand, and said, "I saw you went out early in the morning, stayed at Red Blossom Neighborhood for a long time, and also stopped by our studio for a while, what were you up to?"
"I..." Just as she was about to explain to Luna, she suddenly froze, how did Luna know she’d been to those places?
Last time she found out that Norman had installed something on her phone, could it be that Luna did the same?
She could understand Norman’s concern for her safety since she was kidnapped last time, but she couldn’t understand Luna installing something on her.
So with a cold expression, squinting her eyes, she asked, "Did you put a tracker on me?"
"Yeah, it’s in your watch; otherwise, how would I know where you are."
Luna’s attitude was as if she were talking about something as ordinary as eating, and was very justified.
For a moment, she didn’t know what to say; she had thought Luna wouldn’t admit it. After thinking, she said, "This isn’t fair! I’d like to know where you are too."
Luna thought for a while and finally agreed to her proposal, "Alright, just in case something happens to me, you can call for help."
"Alright, enough talk, today we have a big mission, we’re teaming up with Andrew and Tommy to work separately, since Lee Si isn’t here, we’re short on staff, otherwise I wouldn’t risk having my salary deducted to ask for your help."
Hearing this, Elliana’s expression immediately turned serious and she hurriedly asked, "What’s the matter? Has there been news about Nancy?"
"Yes, we found three women who started live streaming at the same time as Nancy, we might be able to find out something, the other two are far away, I sent Andrew and Tommy, ours is close by, I wanted to send you alone but I feel uneasy."
Luna yawned before continuing, "You can amuse yourself for a while, let me take a nap first, we’ll set off later, ugh, playing games last night gave me a headache."
"Oh, then you sleep, mind your hand."
...
At 7 PM, Luna was just barely waking up, slowly putting on a jacket, and since she could only put on one sleeve, she looked like a one-armed hero.
Before leaving, Luna said, "Call Norman Bennett, say you’re staying at my place and leave your phone here."
"? You knew Norman put a tracker on me?" Elliana was puzzled; it seemed Luna knew before she did.
Luna nonchalantly touched her nose and nodded, "I originally wanted to install something on your phone too, but it turns out there already was one."
"..."
"Hey, Norman~" Since she needed a favor, and feeling somewhat guilty, her tone was coquettish.
The voice on the other end replied lightly, then asked, "Want to stay a night with Luna?"
After being seen through, Elliana didn’t find it necessary to hide anymore and directly admitted, "Yeah, is it okay?"
"Sure, it’s fine."
The man easily agreed to her request; although she wasn’t surprised, she was still a bit excited.
It was like when she would tell her parents she wanted to stay at a friend’s house as a child, and they agreed.
She joyfully said, "Norman, you’re the best, love you~"
After exchanging sweet words, she hung up, as Luna clicked her tongue twice, saying, "When under someone else’s roof, you have to bow."
She retorted, "This isn’t being under someone else’s roof, if I don’t tell Norman, he’ll worry about me, and I don’t want him to worry."
"Tch, I go wherever I want, if my brother finds me, that’s his skill, if not, that’s mine, to accomplish great things, one must be without concerns."
Hearing this, Elliana crossed her arms and looked at Luna with a half-smile, casually saying, "You’re right, those who accomplish great things must have full moons every month, but if I’m full moon every month, who will pay your salary?"
Luna’s face instantly fell, she didn’t expect Elliana to be able to retort now, so she irritably said, "Alright, alright, can’t argue with you, stop dawdling, let’s get going."
After leaving the care center, Elliana got into the driver’s seat and waited for Luna to say the address.
Luna said, "Songgang Road, Subzero Community Building A, navigate yourself, I’ve never been there."
After checking the navigation, she realized the community was just opposite the Red Blossom Neighborhood, so she turned off the navigation and directly started the car.
