Chapter 309 Tessa deleted the reply she had typed out. She had done everything that she was supposed to do. How Stephen decided to deal with Jacqueline was no longer her concern.
It was the weekend, so Tessa didn't need to drop by the law firm. She drank a glass of milk and ate a sandwich to appease her hunger. However, it did nothing to lessen the frustration in her heart.
Noticing the gorgeous weather outside the window, Tessa changed into a simple set of clothes before leaving the house to take her mind off things. Her villa was located next to a huge park, and she decided to visit it.
Since it was the weekend, the park was relatively packed. Many parents had brought their children with them to play outside.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEvergreen trees had been planted all over the park, their lush leaves creating a sea of green as far as the eye could see. The tulips and roses were in full bloom, making for a beautiful sight.
Many people were enjoying picnics on the lawn while the children flew their kites high in the sky. Tessa strolled leisurely along the lawn. The heaviness in her heart had been mostly dispelled as she watched the people enjoy themselves in a lively manner.
After walking around aimlessly for several minutes, Tessa plopped onto a bench under a large tree to rest. Suddenly, the sounds of a sobbing child echoed toward her. Tessa followed the noise and found a young girl who was crying as she hid behind a statue.
The girl was dressed in a white sweater and a pink skirt while her hair was tied up into two pigtails. Her pigtails were decorated with two fluffy bunny clips.
Tessa recognized that the girl's clothes were from a branded children's fashion store while the bunny clips were the spair that Seline also owned which cost around 700 dollars.
Tessa approached the girl and asked, "What's wrong?" The girl turned her doe-like eyes on Tessa. They were completely bloodshot and her cheeks were covered in tear tracks. "I... I was separated from Mom..." she cried.
Tessa guessed as much. "Do you remember your mother's phone number?" she asked.
The girl pouted and shook her head.
"What about your father's phone number?" Tessa asked again. "Or the number of any of your family members. Do you remember any of them?" The girl shook her head again as she pressed her lips into a thin line.
Tessa sighed. "Do you know your parents' names?" The girl nodded in response. "My mom's nis Lyanna." Tessa sighed in relief. At least the girl knew her mother's name. After pondering her options for a moment, Tessa decided to bring the girl to the park's management center. The staff there could use the public announcement system to help the girl reunite with her mother.

The girl rubbed the tears from her eyes. She stared at Tessa for a moment, her lips pouted, before she finally said sweetly, "Okay." "Good girl." Tessa's eyes crinkled into crescents as she extended a hand toward the girl. "Here, take my hand. I'll bring you to look for your mother."
The girl obediently held Tessa's hand and followed her to the park's m management center. When they arrived at the center, Tessa explained the situation to the staff. A staff member asked, "What's your name, young lady?" "I'm Cassandra Gobert," she answered in a sweet voice.
The staff immediately sent out an announcement. "Ms. Lyanna, your daughter, Cassandra Gebert, was separated from you and has been found if you hear this announcement, please proceed to the management center located at the north entrance of the garden."
The park was huge, but thankfully, loudspeakers were installed in nearly every corner of the area. It didn't take long before Lyanna appeared at the management center. Tessa was stunned the moment she laid eyes on Lyanna. She looked exactly like Lester's aunt.
