NovelEnglishChapter 557
Hobart thought of Patrick and Amelia's weird expression when they talked about Maryanne. He could not help
but ask, "What is the tnow in Seattle?" Maryanne paused for a moment before saying, "Huh! It's late at
night."
Hobart emphasized, "What is the time?"
"Eleven o'clock?" Maryanne answered in an uncertain voice.
Hobart asked suspiciously, "Maryanne, are you really in Seattle?"
Maryanne replied quickly, "Of course, why would | lie to you? | couldn't find the clock just now so | couldn't tell
you the exact time!"
Hobart forced himself to reply, "Alright then."
Maryanne asked worriedly, "Hobart, what's wrong with you? Why are you sighing?"
Hobart said, "Maryanne, if anything happened to you, please don't hide it from me. Just telland I'll help you
solve it."
Maryanne smiled. "Alright! It's getting late. I'm going to bed. Remember to helpsend regards to dad
and mom. Don't let them worry about me."
Hobart responded with a 'sure' and hung up the phone.
Hobart stood still on the spot and thought for a while. Then, he made a call to home.
The person who answered the phone was the maid who was in charge of taking care of Maryanne's diet. "Young
master? What can | do for you?"
Hobart said, "Go to Maryanne's bedroom immediately and look for her America passport."
"Okay, please wait a moment." After a while, the maid said on the other end of the line, "Young master, I've
found it."
Hobart's heart sank even further when he heard that. Maryanne had lied to him? She had never kept a secret
from him!
Hobart tightened his grip on his phone. It was only when the maid called him a few times that he cback to
his senses. "Then keep searching to make sure did she take any other passports?" However, the maid's answer
was the same...
"Young master, Ms. Maryanne didn't bring any of her passports." After a pause, the maid asked with concern,
"Young master, did something happen to Ms. Maryanne? Please don't scare me." Hobart thought to himself,
"Don't ask me. | don't know what had happened as well." After comforting the maid with a few words absent-
mindedly, Hobart ended the call.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe next second, a thought flashed through Hobart's mind. The news of Maryanne having a vacation to relieve
her anxieties was told by Milton. Then, would Milton know the inside story?
Hobart decided to ask Milton.
Hobart raised his phone again and dialed Milton's number.
The call was only connected after a while. Hobart asked impatiently before Milton talked, "Milton! Tellwhere
my sister is! Telleverything!"
His loud voice made Milton stunned. After a while, he said, "She is in Seattle..."
Hobart felt angry when he heard this. Were they hiding something from him?
"She didn't take her America passport with her and you tellshe is in Seattle. How did she get there? Did she
go there illegally?"
Milton did not know what to say.
Hobart said angrily, "We didn't call the police when she was missing that night because we trusted you. Don't tell
Milton took in a deep breath and said, "We're living together now!"
Hobart's mind went blank. "What did you say?"
Milton said in a low voice, "Maryanne and | decided to live together before getting married. However, | was afraid
that uncle and aunt wouldn't agree, so | didn't tell you immediately. | hope you can understand." Hobart who had
cback to his senses was stunned. "You... you guys..."
Milton said faintly, "If you don't believe me, Maryanne is just right next to me. I'll let her talk to you."
He did not wait for Hobart to say anything and the phone call was being cut off.
After a while, when Hobart was about to think that he had been tricked, a video call popped up on his phone
screen. Then he quickly reached out to answer it.
It was Maryanne's bare face on the screen.
When she caught sight of Hobart through the camera, Maryanne smiled and said, "Hi, Hobart..."
"Maryanne!" Hobart could not wait to go through the screen and speak to Maryanne face to face. "Are you
alright?"
Maryanne made a cheeky face and said, "Haha, do | look like something's wrong with me?"
The tension in Hobart's heart eased and he said, "It's
good that you're fine."
Maryanne stuck out her tongue playfully. "I'm sorry. | shouldn't keep this as a secret from you. However, you
know dad's temper very well. If he heard that I'm staying with a guy before getting married, he'll definitely
punish me!"
Hobart glared at her angrily. "Then aren't you afraid that I'll tell him?"
Maryanne flattered, "Don't worry, | know that you are the most open-minded person."
Hobart shook his head helplessly. "Where do you guys live now? I'm going to take a look at the environment. If
it's not comfortable, I'll take you himmediately!"
Maryanne was taken aback by his words. "Hobart, it's not a good tfor us right now."
Hobart heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Not a good time?"
Maryanne's expression suddenly beca little hesitant. "Can't you see...that I'm in bed?"
Hobart looked closely and saw a pillow behind Maryanne.

Shouldn't you feel happy for me?"
Hobart heaved a long sigh. "I'm happy."
On the other hand.
After enduring for a while, Patrick finally broke out. "Amelia Ramsay, what did | tell you last time? You're not
allowed to interact with Hobart again. You just turn your deaf ear don't you?"

Amelia rubbed her buzzing ears and said, "We just met by chance and didn't even make an appointment in
advance."
Patrick glared at her. "But you invited him to have lunch together!"
Amelia responded with ease. "Dr. Scarlett was there as well."
Patrick's eyes lit up. "So what? You know that he's not a good man but you're still stupid enough to get close to
him!"

Amelia replied, "But at least, he didn't letto just stand there and embarrass myself. That was kind enough!"
Patrick snorted and said, "That's because you're stupid. If you had askedfor help then everything would be
fine."
"Hah!" Amelia suddenly laughed. "I indeed was looking at you for help. Do you know how long had I look at you
at that time? Have you ever bother to look at me?"
Patrick tightened his ten fingers on his knees and said with disappointment, "But why don't you say something
nice?"
"What do you wantto say?" Amelia switched to another tone. "Why don't you letknow what shall | say?
I'll use it next time."
