Chapter 1057 Must Uncover That Woman


    "Absolutely not embarrassing! Absolutely not embarrassing!" Alistair huffed, intentionally grabbing


    Anthony''s hand and wiping all the tears from his eyshes onto Anthony''s back in revenge.


    Anthony chuckled, "Alright, let''s go eat dinner."


    Alistair didn''t move. With a more stable mood, he pouted and pleaded, "Daddy, can you stay away from


    that Bryleigh?"


    He didn''t like Bryleigh at all. He could even say he hated her.


    Her name had already been added to his cklist with a big red X in his mind.


    Anthony nodded, "Okay, I won''t have too much contact with her."


    He agreed readily and Alistair felt happy inside.


    His Daddy was doing well. He would continue to love his Daddy~


    Haha--


    Children''s emotionse and go quickly.


    He let Anthony hold his hand as father and son walked out of the hall together towards the dining hall.


    On the way there, he thought of Bryleigh again and looked up to ask, "Daddy, are you really old lovers


    with that olddy?"


    Anthony didn''t answer.


    "She said she was your first love. What about Mommy? How many girlfriends did you have before


    Mommy?"


    Anthony frowned slightly at this question. "She wasn''t my first love."


    His first love should have been Lyra. But when Lyra passed away tragically due to an ident reported


    by Lloyd family news media outlets, he drank himself into a stupor every night for an entire year until


    Bryleigh confessed her feelings for him the following year. Under some emotional distress, he agreed


    despite only being together for just a few days before it ended abruptly.


    As for Mavis, they never dated officially; they went on one symbolic date then went straight to register


    their marriage at city hall early next morning without any fanfare or celebration whatsoever.


    Whenever Mavis'' name was mentioned though, it caused him pain deep down inside, so he


    suppressed those emotions so as not reveal them in front of their son.


    Alistair continued asking, "Daddy Daddy! That olddy said you used to be some kind of official or


    something? Why aren''t you anymore?"


    "When will Mommye home? Did you do something wrong that made Mommy refuse toe


    back?"


    "I don''t want any other aunties or stepmothers. Will you be able to coax Mommy back home?"


    Alistair kept chattering away while gesturing wildly with his hands as if trying convey something


    important through signnguage.


    All Anthony could hear was what sounded like an annoying little mosquito buzzing around in circles


    near his ear, giving him a headache.


    "Adult matters are things you don''t understand yet, so focus more on your studies," replied Anthony


    sternly after hearing enough questions from Alistair about adult rtionships that were beyond what


    children should know about yet anyway.


    Alistair pouted again, feeling unhappy now. His father still refused to tell him anything, thinking he was


    just a kid who didn''t deserve to know. His father didn''t trust him.


    If it weren''t for that olddy, he probably wouldn''t have known they had been in love before.


    And his father seemed to only care about work and studying, not at all about whether he was happy or


    not.


    "I''m too stupid. No matter how much I study, I can neverpare to Spencer."


    With a hint of sadness in his voice, Alistair let go of Anthony''s hand and ran ahead with his short legs


    towards the dining room.


    "Alistair."


    Anthony called out but the little guy ran too fast and didn''t even look back at him.


    In the dining room.


    Paloma had been waiting for a long time, crouching down and waiting for the little bundle of joy to jump


    into her arms.


    "Good baby, did you get hit?"


    She picked up Alistair''s small hand and checked it. It was clean and tender without any signs of being


    beaten up. She breathed a sigh of relief as she realized that Alistair must not have gotten into trouble


    on his way here.


    Anthony came into the dining room one minuteter than expected, which made Paloma feel


    somewhat curious because they should havee together.


    At the table, Paloma noticed that something was off between them.


    Alistair refused Anthony''s peeled shrimp instead looking at her, "Can I eat what you peel, grandma?"


    Anthony showed no particr expression as he ate that shrimp himself while calmly wiping his hands


    clean before kindly advising, "Grandma, you shouldn''t peel too many shrimps. Give him seven or eight


    at most."


    Alistair became very unhappy with this advice, showing extreme rebelliousness, "When I grow up, I''ll


    eat an entire bowl full!"


    Paloma giggled incessantly, "Then you should eat more now so you can grow up quickly!"


    Alistair nodded seriously with a smile on his face, "The shrimp you peeled is delicious!"


    Paloma sensed some resentment towards Anthony from Alistair so she nced over at Anthony beside


    him.


    Anthony remained silent while eating slowly withposure; seemingly lost in thought rather than


    paying attention to dinner.


    Late night.


    Anthony sat alone in his study reading through materials provided by the hospital administration team.


    The phone was on speaker, and Kane was reporting, "ording to the hospital''s investigation, none of


    the nurses have dyed their hair blonde. The hospital has a policy that prohibits nurses from dyeing their


    hair in obvious colors. A nurse had dyed her hair red a few days ago and was ordered to change it


    back and punished. Therefore, there is no nurse in the staff list who matches the one in the


    surveince video."


    "The hospital is taking this matter seriously and investigating thoroughly. They promised to give you an


    update as soon as they have any news," Kane continued.


    Anthony remembered that familiar figure again while also thinking about the kidnapping case


    information provided by NIB earlier today. "Is it possible that she wore a wig? Sheldon Alford''s people


    might be involved?"


    Kane pondered for a moment before answering, "It''s possible but... if it were Sheldon Alford because of


    his grudge against you, he would definitely harm Alistair somehow. But in reality, Alistair wasn''t hurt at


    all; he even became emotionally stable afterward."


    Emotionally stable...


    Anthony kept repeating this phrase over and over again in his mind; something felt off about it but also


    impossible.


    "We must find out who that woman is," Anthony said firmly before hanging up with Kane.


    He left his study room first to check on his son.


    The little guy was curled up on his bed with an open posture while hugging his panda plushie tightly.


    Anthony gently tucked him into bed before leaning down to kiss him lightly on his forehead, then quietly


    left after closing the door behind him.


    The night was quiet except for asional insect chirps from outside.


    The entire Cahan Residence seemed asleep except for Anthony who went alone into the hall where


    he watched the photo of someone special…


    Ever since leaving the hospital after being kidnapped, Alistair quickly returned back to normal life.


    Under Anthony''s restrictions, no one within the Cahan family dared mention anything rted to


    kidnapping case around Alistair, fearing another extreme reaction from him.


    Mavis stayed at a hotel which happened to overlook her son''s kindergarten yground through


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    binocrs during morning exercise time when she could see her son clearly.


    It felt wonderful being so close yet so far away from her child for five years until now.


    Unfortunately though the Cahan family''s bodyguards always stood guard outside of kindergarten,


    making sure Mavis couldn''t get any closer than she already had been able too.


    After four days of observing them closely though, Mavis noticed something peculiar: every day at 12:30


    pm sharp, each bodyguard would leave briefly for around half an hour or so, giving Mavis just enough


    time.


    At that time, Alistair was also having lunch in the kindergarten, which was the safest ce for him.


    Therefore, the bodyguards could leave for a while. After figuring out their routine, Mavis chose a rainy


    day and went to the kindergarten fully armed during a gap when the bodyguards were off duty.


    At that moment, Alistair was eating seriously.


    "Alistair baby, your auntie is here. Let''s go with me."


    Auntie?


    Alistair was confused. He only remembered two aunts: Esther Cahan (Melissa Walsh) and Reba


    Cahan. Where did this auntiee from? Was she rted to his mother''s side of the family?
