Chapter 10 They Were Found

However, when he spun around, he only glimpsed the sides of the woman and kid.

The boy was little and walked closely next to the woman with his short legs. The woman had slowed her pace, so it wasn’t hard for him to catch up with her.

The woman looked slim, even a little bit fragile. Most of her small face was covered by her oversized sunglasses, but the uncovered lower part of her face was exquisite and pleasing to the eye.

James followed his gaze in bemusement but saw nothing.

Draxton lifted his wiry, long leg again and strode forward.

James quickly caught up with him. “Mr. Lockwood, did you notice anything suspicious?”
