“Uh…” Robbie was stunned when he heard the former’s words.
He had never expected that Jamie would realize it and had always thought that Jamie was a carefree person that always squandered his days on the pleasures of life and ogled at beautiful girls.
“Robbie, don’t worry. We had already told the maid to leave. No one will eavesdrop on us. If you are worried that they’ll hear it, you can lower your voice,” whispered Ellie with a pinched voice.
“Yeah. Tell us if you have any secrets. We are of one mind. Let’s face the problems together,” said Jamie with a stern face.
Hearing that, Robbie pondered for a while before answering them. Hmm… They may not help me in other things, but it’s about Mommy’s whereabouts now. I believe that they’ll listen to me.
Besides, Great-grandpa keeps such a close eye on me now. It’s impossible for me to go out secretly to find out Mommy’s whereabouts unless Jamie and Ellie help me…
After all, to Great-grandpa, they are the most obedient children.
So I think he won’t suspect anything if they do something out of line.
Moreover, she is our mommy. Therefore, the three of us must work together in finding mommy so that everything will go faster and smoother.
Having thought that, Robbie stood up to lock the door and close the curtains.
Seeing that, Jamie and Ellie exchanged glances. Robbie’s actions made both of them feel nervous.
Then, Jamie inquired nervously, “Robbie, do you really have a secret?”
“What secret is that? Do you want to go on an adventure?”
At that time, an image of Robbie bringing them to go on an adventure like the pirates of the Caribbean flashed across Ellie’s mind.
Robbie didn’t answer their questions. He took out the ring from the drawer and asked in a mysterious tone, “Jamie, Ellie, do you know what this is?”
“This is a ring.”
Jamie and Ellie inched closer toward Robbie to observe the ring and started to discuss among themselves.
“It looks like Daddy’s ring.”
“No. This is a woman’s ring. I think I have seen it before…”
“Look at this.” Robbie played the wedding video and showed it to Jamie and Ellie. Then, he pointed at the ring finger of Charlotte’s right hand and queried, “What do you see?”
“Oh my God! The ring looks like Mommy’s wedding ring!”
Ellie took the ring over and studied it closely.
“Is this Mommy’s ring?” Jamie queried tentatively.
“Yes.” Robbie nodded.
“What?” Jamie and Ellie’s eyes widened in shock upon hearing that.
They only snapped back to their senses after a while. Then, they started to ask Robbie inquisitively.
“How do you get the ring? Did Mommy give it to you before she left? But I’ve never seen you take it out before. M-Mommy…”
Before Ellie could finish her words, she froze. Her eyes widened in shock, and she looked at Robbie in disbelief, “Mommy is back?”
“Robbie, is Mommy back?” Jamie grabbed hold of Robbie’s hands and urged the latter to say, “Quick, tell us!”
Ellie fiddled with Robbie’s sleeve and urged him anxiously, too, “Yeah, you are driving me crazy! What’s going on?”
“Do you still remember that eagle? I found the ring on its feet…” Robbie started to recount the incident to them.
“What?” Jamie and Ellie were astounded at his words.
“It happened like this…” Robbie explained the whole incident to them in detail.
Upon hearing that, the two of them were very agitated.
Then, Jamie said, “No wonder you slipped away this morning. I thought you did it because Ms. Cynthia moved in, and you felt uneasy about it, so you ran away from home to scare Great-grandpa. I even played along with you just now.”
On the other hand, Ellie queried apprehensively, “Robbie, what happened to the eagle now? Is Mommy living at Northridge?”
“I’m not sure. But even if mommy is not there, the people who live there will know where she is. For now, we need to figure out a way to go there and ask about Mommy’s whereabouts!” Robbie said in a serious tone.
