Chapter 158 158: What do you want, Alex

Eveline confronts Daniel about her failure to reach Gracey last night, but she asks him to remain silent and wait for her to call the next day.

The entire night passed with him scarcely sleeping, and he kept tossing and turning over in bed, thinking about Gracey.

When he observed the sun had come out, he couldn't wait a second for her to reach out and immediately changed to depart for her place; but, on his way, he discovered Gabriel standing before him, his face tinged with anxiety, and he divulged.

"Gracey hasn't been home all night, and her parents have filed a missing complaint. They need you at the station for an investigation."

The words came at Daniel like a flood, washing away his sensible thinking, and he nodded in agreement before they both left the house together.

As soon as they arrived at the station, they saw Eveline, along with Gracey's mother Rose, comforting her as her father spoke with the police.

Daniel dashed towards them and kneeled before Rose, who burst into tears upon seeing him.

"Aunty, everything will be okay. We will find Gracey; please trust the cops," Daniel promised her, and she nodded in agreement.

Eveline and Gabriel exchanged meaningful glances before she stood up and moved to his side.

"I think it's time for me to meet him," she said with determination, and he nodded in agreement.

"Make sure to call me if you find anything suspicious," he urged, and she nodded in understanding.

Gabriel quickly contacted officer Ethan, the lead officer in charge of Alex's case, who promptly granted them permission to meet with him.

Eveline was nervous, but more than that, she was eager to acquire something from this meeting.

Eveline stood outside the meeting room for a time, gathering her confidence before entering.

When she reached the partitioned glass, she noticed Alex's intense gaze following her.

A smile spread across his lips, and his eyes shone with inexplicable feelings.

Eveline was firm, but the way he gazed at her reminded her of something sinister, which bothered her.
