Chapter 131~ Hiding something

"Uncle, help me look for my husband," Lora asked Aiden Davis when she walked into his office.

Aiden arched an eyebrow. He hadn't been expecting his niece, but seeing her look so anxious made him worried. "Don't tell me he's already cheating on you," he said.

"No, Uncle... Ryan would never," Lora stated, pacing back and forth in the office. "I haven't seen him in two days. I have a bad feeling about this. He's avoiding me and I feel like something serious has happened. I need to find him and talk to him." "Perhaps he just wants time to sort himself out..." Aiden remarked. "He will come to you when he's ready-"

"And when would that be? What if I go crazy from being anxious and worried? I need to talk to him and find out what the problem is... he's my partner," Lora remarked, her stomach twisting and turning. "How can I ignore my husband when he's not acting like himself?" Just like the other night, Ryan returned home very late the previous night. He slept next to Lora and left before she could wake up after preparing the children for school.

Lora didn't get a chance to ask him why he was behaving so strangely. She had to find out what was going on with Ryan. This was why she gave her uncle a visit to his company.

"So, you want me to trace his phone to find out where he is? Or do you want me to find out what he's been up to?" Aiden asked.

"I want to know where he is right now... I went to his company and he's not there," Lora replied, the lump in her throat refusing to go down.

Aiden nodded before typing away on his keyboard, the soft clicks filling the silence in the office. Lora waited with bated breath, her heart racing at a thousand miles per second. After some time, Aiden frowned and said, "He looks like he's all over the place. Perhaps he's really busy because he keeps moving from town to town."

Lora frowned.

Was she overthinking?

"Why don't you wait for him to be done with whatever he's working on?" Aiden suggested. "I'm sure it's pretty serious for him to come home late and leave early."

Lora bit her lower lip before replying, "I know... it's just that, I have a bad feeling about this."
