RankNovelChapter 135 Chapter 135 You're Really Heartless Brenna stared at the screen, waiting for Ellie's response. When the message finally came, it was brief but loaded with emotion.
"Not now. I don't want to see him. If my son didn't keep asking about his father, I would've erased him from my memory completely." Staring at those lines on the screen, Brenna fell into deep thought, pondering how she could help her friend through this tough time.
So absorbed was she in her reflection that she didn't notice Ethan's shadow creeping closer, his eyes darting to her screen with calculated intent.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSeizing the opportunity, Ethan discreetly captured a photo of Brenna's phone screen and forwarded it to Jayceon, his fingers moving with barely contained excitement.
The revelation was staggering-Ellie had had a child with Jayceon. From the conversation, he estimated the boy to be about five.
But something didn't sit right. Jayceon had been desperately searching for Ellie for seven years, which meant the boy should be at least six.
Ethan's phone immediately erupted with Jayceon's frantic responses. "Who are you with?" "Whose phone is this?" "Is this message from Ellie?" "Tell me, please. Why aren't you answering?" "Ethan, I'm begging you. Please helpfind out if it's from her." "GetEllie's contact, and I'm in your debt forever." "Do I have a son? Can you helpfind out where Ellie is and what's going on?" "Why are you ignoring me?" Ethan muted his phone, the screen fading to black as he slipped it into his pocket. Jayceon's relentless barrage of messages was easy to ignore, but the weight of his sneaky actions pressed against his conscience. If Brenna ever found out that he had been helping Jayceon behind her back, there was a real chance he would lose her for good. He knew what mattered more now.
With a sigh, he retrieved his phone again, deleted the chat history with Jayceon, and blocked him.
Only after doing all this did he feel somewhat relieved. Even if Brenna checked his messages now, she would 0.0% 17:14 + X+ +-x+ Ø IN B ||| 0 < Chapter 135 You're Really Heartless find nothing amiss. He smirked, feeling clever about his actions.
Hours dragged by at the police station while Brenna assisted with the investigation. Ethan waited through the long night, ignoring the persistent vibrations in his pocket as Jayceon's calls cin one after another-until he blocked those, too.
Once the investigation was over and he finally brought Brenna home, Ethan returned to his own house, only to find Jayceon sitting in his living room, an unmistakable scowl darkening hi features.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEthan spared him a glance, his expression indifferent. He didn't bother waiting for Jayceon to speak. "Don't bother asking. I've got nothing more for you." His voice was flat, final. "I won't betray Brenna again." Jayceon's expression immediately darkened more, his words heavy with frustration. "Please, just helpout here. I've been losing my mind searching for Ellie. Do you understand how devastated I felt when I saw what you sent me? She has been out there alone, raising a child, and I had no idea. What kind of person does that make me?" he said.
Ethan's voice remained calm, though it carried an undeniable edge. "That's your mess to clean up, Jayceon. You're the one who created this situation, and now, you have to face the consequences. You've got all the connections, all the resources-use them. I refuse to believe that with everything you have at your disposal, you can't track her down. As a friend, I've done all I can for you." Jayceon's jaw tightened as disappointment flashed in his eyes. "You're really heartless," he muttered bitterly before storming toward the door.
But just as he reached it, he stopped and turned back, his voice softer but still laced with pain. "Thanks, though.
At least now I know Ellie's in Norview." Ethan's gaze softened for a moment, though his tone remained calm. "Norview is vast. Where would you even start to search for her?" Jayceon hesitated, his shoulders slumping under the weight of his emotions. "She has places she loves-places that mean something to her. I'll start there." He took a deep breath, determination flickering in his eyes despite his despair. "I've already booked a flight. Once I find her... I'll thank you properly." Ethan nodded slowly, watching Jayceon intently as he spoke. He knew Jayceon had powerful connections in Norview-finding Ellie shouldn't be impossible for him.
"I hope you find her,” Ethan said finally, his voice calm but sincere. When Brenna returned home, dawn was breaking, casting a soft light over the household. The staff at hwas already busy preparing breakfast, their movements efficient.
