My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

Chapter 557

Scott stared at the photo, and old Mr. Martin slowly began speaking, looking lost in recollection. “She’s my first love, but after she became pregnant, she suddenly left me without a trace.”

Old Mr. Martin sighed. “At that time, she used to send me a photo now and then. Through this photo, I learned she was in Clance, but when I wanted to go there that year, I was prevented by various matters. I could only send someone to find her. Unfortunately, they told me the place where she was staying was burnt to the ground by a big fire, and she was dead while my daughter was missing.”

Old Mr. Martin tensed his jaw. “Later, although I got married and had other children, first love is the

hardest to forget. And this daughter of mine is missing. It has become my only concern in this life.“@

Old Mr. Martin sighed. “Scott, you’re my most beloved grandson, so can you help me find her?”

Scott looked at the photo. “Grandpa, if your daughter is still alive, how old would she be today?”

Old Mr. Martin frowned. “She should be in her forties

now. At that age, she must have gotten married…”

Scott asked, “And your first love, what’s her name?”

Old Mr. Martin sighed. “I don’t know.”

Scott was dumbfounded. “How can you not know?”

Old Mr. Martin said nostalgically, “Back then, we met at a masquerade ball. At that time, we both used pseudonyms. I spent a very romantic night with her in Country F. Afterward, for half a month, we were together all the time, traveling through the great rivers and mountains of Country F. I fell deeply in love. She

was someone incredibly captivating with a very special aura. I wanted to marry her, but then she suddenly disappeared.”

Old Mr. Martin sighed. “She was like a sprite who mistakenly wandered into the human world and then evaporated from this earth. I looked everywhere for her, but there was no trace. Later, I followed my family’s arrangements and got married. But three years after she disappeared, I suddenly received a photo of her with our daughter.”

At this, the old man showed a hint of tenderness.
