Then, Ashton hung up.

Judging from his expression, I figured the bodyguard had lost Rebecca, so I suggested, “Calm down. Lavelian Village isn’t that big. She must’ve gone to buy something.”

He pursed his lips and rejected, “Eat up while the food is still warm.”

“There’s no rush. I’ll just get them to warm up the food later. Let’s look for her first.” With that, I talked to the owner and exited the restaurant.
