Chapter 104

Laura was burning with anxiety to see Arianna.

Doris hailed a taxi and accompanied Laura all the way, holding her cold hand in the car.

“Laura, it’s going to be okay. Doris comforted Laura.

This was a difficult time in Laura’s life, and what she needed was the strength and support of her family.

“Yeah.” Laura lowered her head, tears welling up in her eyes, as she tried hard not to cry.

She forced a smile, not wanting Doris to worry about her.

Doris pulled Laura close, letting her lean on her shoulder. “Laura, you don’t have to pretend or be strong in front of me.”

Laura closed her eyes and nodded on Doris‘ shoulder.

They soon arrived at the Webb family’s house in Tanglewood Oaks.

Doris went up to knock on the door. After a while, a middle–aged, slightly plump woman opened the door.

She looked suspiciously at Doris and Laura. “Who are you?”

“Who are you?” Doris hadn’t seen this woman before and thought they might have the wrong house, but she checked the house number and it was correct; it was the Webb family’s house.

“I’m the nanny. Who are you looking for?” The middle–aged woman glanced at them again.

Laura had been kicked out of the Webb family last night, and they had already hired a new nanny this morning. The efficiency was impressive.

“I’m looking for Arianna,” Laura said.

“Why are adults looking for a child?” The nanny was on guard, as if the Reed sisters were bad people.

“I’m Matteo’s wife, and Ari is my daughter. Can you let me in? I want to see Ari,” Laura pleaded.
