Chapter 1738 Butterfly Tattoo
The two of them looked at each other and broke into smiles.
Shortly after, the food was served. Looking at the table of delicacies, Nina dug in without any hesitation.
“Go on. Try the food. It’s really delicious.”
Stephen smiled and took a piece of lobster for her. “Since you like it, have more.”
“Okay. You should eat some too.”
“All right.”
The couple had a lovely time chatting and dining together. A sense of warmth and happiness emanated from within Stephen’s heart, making him whole again. As for Nina, she had not felt this bliss in a long time.
The harmonious ambiance went on for more than an hour.
When dinner was over, Stephen made a promise to Nina. “I will find out the cause of Chris’ death as soon as possible. Once this has concluded, you will be my girlfriend.”
Nina nodded. “Yes. Oh, there’s something else. A lady came to my rescue back in K Nation when Melanie had bribed someone to keep me captive. I suspect my savior knew something about Chris’ death. You should start your investigation with her. Perhaps, she can provide some leads. Why don’t I come with you, and we will locate her together?”
Stephen remained silent as he pondered on it. “No. The company needs you. Do you have any means to contact the lady? I will look for her.”
Nina recalled the incident. It had been a dire situation back then. The lady did not leave Nina her contact details.
However, she remembered the lady did say something about hearing her abduction at Chris’ grave. Therefore, it was possible that the latter might go to his grave often to pay her respects.
“You could try your luck at Chris’ grave,” mumbled Nina.
Stephen froze. “Can you describe her to me, especially if she has any unique characteristics? It would be easier for me to identify her.”
Nina hesitated. The image of her savior appeared in her mind. “She is about my height and knows martial arts. She has an oval face and a quick temper. In fact, she’s quite pretty. Most importantly, I saw a butterfly tattoo on her left wrist when she was fighting.”
Butterfly.
Stephen’s face darkened. When he was in K Nation, he heard that the women of a particular family had a butterfly tattooed on their left wrists.
Could it be a coincidence?
“I got it! Don’t worry. I will get to the bottom of this as quickly as possible!”
“In that case, I thank you on Chris’ behalf.”
“You don’t have to stand on ceremony with me. I’m doing this on my own accord! Come, let me send you back to Imperial Garden.”
“Okay!”
On the way back, a plan started to form in Stephen’s mind, and he decided to get to K Nation as soon as possible.
Looking at Nina who sat beside him, he felt that happiness was within his reach. No matter how difficult it might be, he would do everything to find out the truth.
Once everything was over, he would be able to be with Nina.
When she got back to Imperial Garden, Nina saw a sulky Maya sitting on the couch. Next to her was the little glutton, Joy who was stuffing her mouth with food while chatting with the girl.
“Maya, the cookies you made are unbelievably delicious. Why are you not eating?”
“The cookies are for you. I don’t feel like eating. Help yourself to more if you like.” Maya appeared quite listless and sounded weak.
Joy carried on eating and asked, “Is something bothering you?”
Maya turned to look at her. Joy may be young, but sometimes, her intuitiveness amazes me. Should I share my problem with her to get it off my chest?
If she understands, it’s fine. If she doesn’t, I’ll take this as a chance to relieve my stress.
She cleared her throat and said, “Joy, let me ask you something. If you like a person very much, but you found out that he has been lying and hiding things from you for some reason, what will you do?”
