Chapter 339 You Cannot Marry Her

Olivia sucked in a deep breath and asked, “Oscar, do you really have no news of Amelia at all?”

Oscar shook his head in reply.

Olivia was drowned in an air of despondency.

“Olivia, give us a little time. I truly believe Tony will return to us,” Owen pleaded.

Olivia merely lowered her head and continued eating in silence. Her heart was aching. The family dynamics had changed since Tony was taken away. She did not want to drag the entire family into her grief.

Olivia’s sudden silence turned the atmosphere at the dining table cold.

The Hissons returned to their home and searched for Derrick. However, they did not find him there. Kate anxiously called one of their maids and asked, “Belle, is Derrick back home yet?”

“No, Mrs. Hisson, Mr. Derrick hasn’t returned yet,” the maid replied truthfully.

Kate frowned and waved the maid away.

 

After thinking for a while, she pulled out her phone and dialed Derrick’s number. Finally, the line connected.

“Derrick, where are you? It’s been five days since you returned from Beshya. Why haven’t you come home to visit your parents and grandfather?” Kate admonished her son in a dissatisfied tone.

“Mom, I’m driving over now. I’ll be reaching soon,” Derrick replied.

Kate’s face lightened up. “Drive carefully then! By the way, have you eaten? I’ll get the cook to prepare something delicious for you.”

“Please don’t bother, Mom. I’ve already eaten. Granddad and you can go ahead and eat. Don’t wait for me,” Derrick said.

“Okay, then, drive carefully!”

After she got off the phone, Kate turned to Terrence and said, “Derrick will be home soon.”
