Even in the dark of night, Ian could see her fondness for Matteo, especially when she mentioned the cheerful part. She had meant it genuinely.

Ian looked away and turned around.

Susan quickly caught up with him and walked by his side. “Where should we find her? This side?”

“No.” His voice suddenly sounded cold.

Susan was a little confused by his sudden coldness. But since he had said that, she decided to follow behind him silently instead. When he turned right, she turned right too.

Matteo finally found Natalie at the police station.

“Natalie.” Her cute voice and the scent of the sweet softened the police officers' hearts.
