?Chapter 1067:


    Lauretta stared at him in shock, unable to believe he was offering to stand by her. Tears welled in her eyes. Just as she was about to answer, her phone rang.


    “We’ve tracked down the kidnappers’ hideout. It’s almost exactly where you provided earlier. But who uncovered this for you? They beat even the authorities to it!” Aldred’s voice crackled over the line, carrying both astonishment and disbelief at how much faster her source had been.


    “Let’s focus on saving my son first—we’ll deal with the details afterward,” Lauretta said firmly.


    Lauretta knew she had to ask Christina’s opinion. She would keep it a secret if Christina wanted her involvement to remain unknown. Right now, Christina lingered silently in her room, clearly unwilling to draw any attention to herself.


    “Lauretta, if someone managed to pinpoint the location so quickly, they must either be incredibly skilled or secretly working with the kidnappers. As long as it’s someone you trust, I won’t interfere. But I need you to be cautious,” Aldred advised.


    Hearing her father’s warning, Lauretta didn’t waver. She answered with quiet resolve, “I trust this person with my life.”


    Without Christina’s help, her son would have been lost to her forever. There were only a handful of people she trustedpletely—and Christina was one of them.


    “Very well. Our people have already confirmed the site, and your son will be rescued soon. If you don’t want to call off the wedding, try to dy it a bit longer,” Aldred instructed, asking nothing further.


    “Thank you, Dad.” Lauretta ended the call and turned to Dominic. “The authorities have confirmed the location was almost the same ce.”<fnf532> Official source is find?novel</fnf532>


    “We’re leaving now.” Dominic took hold of her wrist and guided her out.


    Lauretta quickened her steps to keep pace and asked anxiously, “What about the wedding, now that we’re both leaving?”


    “I’ll inform the guests that it needs to be postponed. Your son’s rescuees first,” Dominic replied with crisp finality.

    “Do you not mind that I have a child?” Lauretta asked tentatively after a moment of hesitation.


    “Our marriage is nothing more than a deal. Whether you have a child or not makes no difference.” Dominic’s voice was steady, almost detached, as though he were discussing something as mundane as the weather.


    Lauretta’s heart sank under the weight of his words, bitterness swelling within her until it ached. So, he didn’t care whether she had a child or not. But that was how it should be. She…


    She had let herself hope for more, nurturing feelings she never should have entertained. All Dominic wanted was someone to temporarily put his family at ease—nothing beyond that.


    Once Dominic and Lauretta had gone, Christina quietly slipped from the room and headed back to the wedding venue.


    Dominic had already informed the guests that the ceremony would be dyed by an hour or two. As soon as word spread, whispers rippled through the crowd.
