Chapter 112: racking my brains

    "Delicious! I like this dish!" Camilla, who was eating Galen's dinner in the dining room of Sean's residence, exclaimed excitedly.

    "Thank you, I'm so happy, I've been worried when I was making dinner, what if you don't like it, now I'm relieved." Galen said with a smile.

    "Don't be too complacent, Galen, she just thinks it's more novel." Sean, who was pulling the plate on the other side, poured cold water unhurriedly.

    "No way!" Camilla grimaced immediately, "Galen is a great cook."

    Sean rolled his eyes, didn't answer, then gave Sanders a look, who immediately said, "By the way, Millie, do you play games?"

    "What games? TV games? I only played Tetris, what games do you usually play?" Camilla, who was attracted by this topic, asked curiously.

    Sean took the opportunity to get up and said, "I'll walk in the yard", quickly left the restaurant, and quickly took out the phone and dialed.

    "Damn, Xiao Qiao, you answer the phone." Hearing the voice over there, Sean said depressedly, after bringing Camilla back, he took time from time to time Call Jordana, but unfortunately they still refuse to answer.

    No doubt she did it on purpose, because on at least two occasions he was cut off after a ring or two after calling. It sucks, and if she drags on and her parents call the police and issue an Amber Alert, then she'll be in really big trouble.

    At last, his bad luck passed, and Jordana's voice sounded over there: "Why, call me so urgently, did you forget to tell me something?"

    "Thank goodness, if you don't answer the phone, I'll be finished." Sean breathed a sigh of relief.

    "Really? It seems I should die right away." Jordana replied with a humming.

    "I'm serious, Joe!" Sean hurriedly raised his voice, "Millie is here with me now, she sneaked out privately, the family doesn't know!"

    There was silence for a long time, probably not knowing who Millie was, but Jordana's exclamation soon sounded: "Where are you Millie?!"

    "Yes, you'd better call her home as soon as possible, otherwise, if they call the police, I will be in trouble." Sean said quickly.

    "Okay, I'll let them contact you right away." Jordana was about to hang up, but she was stopped by Sean: "Wait, there's one more thing, I need You are the middleman."

    "The middleman? Speak clearly!"

    " Millie's parents must be very anxious now, if they talk to me directly, it is likely to have a conflict in communication, so you don't tell them my phone number and address, you will relay it in the middle We talk to each other, and we can communicate peacefully when they have a certain psychological preparation."

    "Okay, I see."

    Ended the call with Jordana, Sean immediately began to wait patiently, and took time to go in and have a look, with Galen and Sanders coaxing, Camilla had a great time playing Playing video games, forget him for the time being.

    Finally, after almost half an hour, Jordana called again: "I talked to them on the phone, Sean."

    "How's it going?" Sean took a deep breath.

    "Fortunately, before Camilla slipped away, she put a note in the babysitter's pocket saying that she was going out to play, so they haven't called the police yet. However, if my phone If it's another ten minutes at night, it will be difficult to tell the result." Probably because she was sure that the matter was temporarily under control, Jordana's tone was a little teasing.

    She has some brains. Sean was relieved again: "So, what did her parents say?"

    "Ms. Gould was a little excited, but Mr. Rouse was calm, and he asked me to thank you for him, and then he wanted to talk to you on the phone," Jordana said.

    "Sounds okay, text me their phone number," Sean said.

    Soon, Jordana's text message came, Sean went into the room again, shook in front of Camilla, made sure her attention was still elsewhere, and then left again Came out and played the number.

    "This is the Rouse's house, who should I look for?" A female voice sounded.

    "Hello, I'm looking for Mr. Jack Wesley Laws, I'm Sean Tang, his daughter Camilla..." Before Sean could finish his words, the opposite side quickly passed The sound of coming drowned him out.

    "What's wrong with Millie?! Is she okay?! Is she hurt?! Is she afraid?! God, I shouldn't have said that to her, please, let me and She has a word, let me have a word with her..." The woman over there was so excited that she was about to cry, and Sean had to hold the phone away from him.

    There is no doubt that it was Camilla's mother. After listening to La's bewildered voice, Sean began to understand why Camilla resisted to such a degree.

    "Okay, Chris, let me do it." At this moment, a calm voice came from over there, "Hello, I'm Jack Wesley Laws, Mr. Tang , that was my wife Christina Gould just now, she was a little worried about Millie, after all Millie had never left her side like this, so she was a little gaffe."

    "You can call me Sean, Mr. Rouse," Sean didn't take it to heart, "I have to apologize to you first, and I didn't ask a friend to call you until now."

    "It's okay, I want to make sure, is Millie alright now?" Rolls asked.

     "Yes, she is playing games, video games, my assistant is taking care of her, you don't have to worry." Sean glanced at the room.

    "Can I speak to her then?"

    "That's exactly what I'm talking about, Mr. Rouse..."

    "Jack."

    "Well, Jack, what I'm trying to say is that Millie is currently reticent to contact you, and if she knew I was on the phone with you, she might not trust me anymore, or even think Get out of here."

    "May I know why?"

    Although the voice over there was still calm, Sean still heard a trace of distrust, well, don't blame them, this is indeed a strange thing. Her own daughter first left a note on the set to go out to play and disappeared, and then waited until the evening. A strange man called and said that his daughter was there, but he did not allow his family to talk to his daughter. Other parents would have doubts, even if the man was a star and knew his daughter's friends.

    "Okay, I'll start at the beginning, Jack." Shawn said after scratching his head.

    Next, he told the person over there in detail what happened in the afternoon, Camilla's father, including how the little girl slipped into his car, how she acted as a rogue, and threatened to call for help The way he forced him to show her around, and the things he said about his parents while watching the sunset—Sean had reservations here, he didn't want to irritate each other anymore.

    "Anyway, she now asks me to stay with me for the night, and she doesn't allow me to call you. If she finds out that I'm talking to you, she doesn't know what to do." Sean finally said said.

    After a moment of silence, there was another voice: "We need to discuss, please keep your mobile phone open, okay?"

    "As soon as possible." Sean just said that.

    Fortunately, Rolls didn't make him wait too long: "I admit that I am often outside, although I support Millie's career, I still don't care enough about her, her mother sometimes... Too indulgent. So, I think it might be better for me to come forward and talk to her alone, and if possible, I will come to your side now."

    Sean smiled bitterly. Fortunately, he was prepared: "I want to ask, Jack, do you trust Joe?"

    "...Of course." He replied after a moment of hesitation.

    "Then I have an idea..."

    …

    Finally, after finishing the call, Sean returned to the room. Sanders was playing the guitar to sing to Camilla, but his skills were a little inferior, so when Sean came in After that, the little girl's attention immediately shifted to the past.

    "Hey Sean, can you sing a song again?" she said with a grin, but immediately looked suspicious again, "Where did you go before?"

      , even if Camilla is just a little guy.

    From the situation where she called for help in the afternoon, she knew that she really did what she said and did, so she couldn't be careless at all.

    Squinted her eyes and looked at Sean for a while, before Camilla smiled again: "By the way, Sandy said you can still play the piano, how about playing a song for me to listen to? I'll play too."

    "Stop kidding, I just know some fingering, and there's no piano here." Sean walked over and pressed her head, "Listen, Millie, I need to talk to you talk."

    "Anything important?" Camilla blinked.

    "Yes, very important." Sean pointed to the room inside, "Let's go there."

    "Can we not talk about it?" The little girl looked like she was praying.

    "Today you are very self-willed." Sean just said this, and then went into the room.

    Although Camilla pouted and snorted heavily, she still jumped to the ground, then hugged Lucy and beckoned to Polk: "Polk, come, let's go together. "

    The puppy immediately followed with wagging its tail. As for the proud kitten, she tamely shrank in the arms of the little girl and yawned. Saunders was quite speechless in his eyes. It took him a long time to get Polk's trust. As for Lucy, among the three men in the family, only Sean can give him a good deal. .

    "Let's talk about your family, Millie," after Camilla came in and took a seat, Sean who was waiting there immediately said, "You can't Live with me forever, right?"

    Camilla, who opened her mouth to say something, fell silent again after hearing this.

    "Look, you haven't called home until now, you should know what the family will be worried about, right?" Sean continued.

    "Then let them worry about it!" Camilla suddenly became angry, "Anyway, they always worry about this and that, they always ask me to do this and that, and worry enough now All right…"

    Sean listened quietly, never interrupted, just glanced at the small round table next to the other sofa from time to time, on the table was the extension of a landline telephone, and Hands-free on.
