Chapter 27
Cade couldn’t figure out what was going on in his boss’s head. Just
yesterday, Kendric seemed urgent to find Celeste, but today, he rented a bunch
of boats to visit… an island.
Lough Eye Town nestled on the centre of a large lake. The inhabitants here
led a straightforward but happy life, mainly depending on fishing and running
small businesses in scenic areas to make ends meet.
Because the only way to get on the island was by boat, plenty of locals made.
their living by offering boat riding.
The long–hour ferry made Celeste feel queasy. She kept vomiting for the
whole night. The innkeeper got pretty worried and persuaded her to take a boat.
ride to the county hospital early next morning.
But Celeste couldn’t leave right now. If Kendric had already tracked her
down to Autumn River Town, then here would be the safest place for her
temporarily.
The hide and seek game had been going on since the day she escaped from
Melville family. At first, Celeste thought Kendric had let go of her. After dodging
him for over a month, she was starting to feel his control tighten as she realized.
he’d tracked her down to Autumn River Town.
If he caught her, he would probably drag her back to cage her.
Honestly, most outsiders couldn’t fathom why Celeste chose to leave. And
even if a few were in the know, they’d just shake their heads in
disapproval why give upthe lap of luxury at Melville family?
Even Celeste herself sometimes pondered whether her escape, which

doomed to fail, had any real point at all.
But the longer she stayed away from Kendric, the more she became.
convinced that leaving him was a new start of her life. Just the idea of leave his
snobbish families was enough to satisfy her.
After a night’s rest, she felt a bit better. The next morning, she ventured out
in search of some food. Not far from her place, there was a bustling street with
auran
plenty of shops and restaurants.
Celeste picked a restaurant and walked in.
“A large latte with whole milk and a tuna sandwich, please,” she ordered.
Celeste adjusted her hat and scanned her surroundings. Everything seemed
calm, and there didn’t appear to be any threats.
A little while later, a server came over. “Your latte, Ms..”
“Waiter, take the order.”
A male voice sounded. Celeste’s every nerve tensed up like a taut string. She
mechanically turned her head to see two men standing across from her.
Two thoughts raced through her mind–run away immediately or stay put
as if nothing happened.
That two guys looked unfamiliar, and there was a chance they wouldn’t
recognize her.
The server walked toward them with a smile, “sir, what would you like to
order?”
The two men sat down next to Celeste without giving her much notice. She

let out a sigh of relief and continued to eat her breakfast while eavesdropping
on their conversation.
“Hurry to finish your food. Cade only gives us ten minutes for breakfast.”
“God! Hope we can finish the mission today. I have been sleeping in the car
for nearly a month!”
“Same here. Let’s hope we find that girl today.”
Celeste did her best to act normal. She had to finish her breakfast–skipping
meal would make her too weak to run, and she couldn’t afford to raise
suspicion.
Suddenly, the guy next to her shot her a glance, “look that girl, she’s quite
good–looking.”
His buddy also gave Celeste a glance, raising an eyebrow ever so slightly.
Celeste kept her cool and finished the last bite of her sandwich, then
intentionally called the waiter in French, “Bonjour, l’addition, s’il vous plaît.”
After she left, one of the guys frowned, “did you find that woman we just
saw a bit familiar?”
The other one burped while patting his full stomach, “not really.”
He pulled out his phone and showed a picture to his buddy. “She looks like
this girl, doesn’t she?”
“Not quite,” his buddy disapproved, “the girl we need to find is drop–dead gorgeous, but the one we just saw, though attractive, had a face as pale as a
vampire.”

“Plus,” he added, “didn’t you hear what she was saying earlier?”
“Hmm?”
“She is French!”
The girl they were after wasn’t French.
One of them suggested, “maybe we should report back to Cade.”
Cede listened to their report, “did you take a photo of her?”
His subordinate replied, “nope, she left right after eating, and we couldn’t
snap a pic.”
Cade sighed, “where did she go?”
His subordinate stammered, “we’re not sure. We failed to tail her.
“You damn idiots! She said that on purpose for you to hear.”
His subordinate fell silent.
Cade concluded, “we need to chase after her right away.”
