The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 585 The Days He Went Missing

When William and Charlotte arrived at Holden Residence, Sheldon came out to greet them and led them inside. Before that, they stopped in front of the largest maple tree.

Laura and Wesley stood beneath the tree without saying a word. They simply gazed at it.

"Wesley, Laura." Charlotte greeted them as she and William stepped forward. "It's been years since you last saw this maple tree, right?"

Wesley nodded. "Yes. The day after Laura gave birth to Marcus, we left Holden Residence. Back then, this maple tree wasn't nearly this big. In the blink of an eye, we've been away from home for so many years."

"Wesley, shall we talk privately?" William walked up and placed a hand on Wesley's shoulder.

"Laura and Charlotte haven't seen each other in ages. On the way here, Charlotte told me she has much to say to her. She instructed me to drag you away once we're here."

Hearing that, a faint smile appeared on Wesley's face. "Charlotte is still the same it seems. She's always trying to steal Laura away from me."

William chuckled as well. "You've been with Laura for so many years. Let them have their time together."

"Alright." Wesley's gaze softened as it fell on Laura. "William, how have you and Charlotte been all these years?"

"We've been well."

William led Wesley away from the tree and back to the villa. He retrieved a bottle of red wine that Charles treasured. After letting it breathe, he poured two glasses.

"If you have questions in mind, go ahead and ask them." Wesley held the glass and took a slow sip. "From the moment we met, I could tell from your eyes that you have a lot of questions for me."

William let out a laugh. "Was it that obvious?"
