Chapter 728: Ella Bailey Returns
Logan finally caught on, just about to agree with Master Tam's words. Brandon seemed to have found his moment to escape Gavin's piercing gaze, quickly retorting, "Master Tam, that's not right. Tina is still so young, it's too early to think about having children." "Exactly, Tina is only twenty years old this year. Why talk about having children?"
Ian looked at him approvingly, waving his hand in a gesture of thanks but declining further comment, "Right now, Jared and her are focusing on their careers; children can wait a few more years."
The old man always spoke nonsense! They had just managed to retrieve their precious lost child, and the account of her being taken away without notice hadn't even been settled yet. They couldn't let Jared get too smug! Hayden was eating, glancing over here and then at Tina, whose cheeks reddened again.
Suddenly inspired, he blurted out, "But they've already registered their marriage, haven't they? Pregnancy isn't a matter of sooner or later. Besides, Serena and Mr. Farrell's child would surely be even more beautiful than the two of them." As soon as he finished, the surrounding area fell silent. All eyes were now fixed on Hayden alone. Hayden shivered, "Did I, did I say something wrong?"
Logan was the first to speak: "No, absolutely not. You're spot on; I totally agree with Hayden's thinking!" Ian opened his mouth to object, but his mind inadvertently followed along with Hayden's reasoning. It seemed to make sense. Tina resembled Alina and was beautiful; the Farrell family's boy was also decent enough. Wouldn't their child be the most adorable baby in the world?
The old man's eyes lit up instantly. Only a few uncles and aunts, watching their father quickly swayed, felt like crying. Jack silently drank his wine, his eyes nonchalantly glancing at Jared. Tina's mouth twitched; how did the conversation suddenly turn back to pushing for a baby?
Touching her stomach, Tina also looked at Jared, "Uncle..." Before she could finish, not knowing what the man was thinking, he suddenly interjected, "Tina, don't worry. It's okay if we wait a bit longer to have children; I'll listen to you." Tina, "..."
Tina wanted to roll her eyes in speechlessness. Everyone else might be one thing, but why was Uncle also acting like those offbeat elders? Seeing the disdain and frustration in the girl's eyes, Jared smiled and gently ruffled Tina's hair, "Just kidding, we can think about children after the wedding."
Never mind the old man's thoughts. Speaking of their current situation, they were still busy with many things. Evan Watson had allowed them to set up their own department, and he and Tina had drafted a list of members, but the final inspection time hadn't been set yet.
Dorothy Russell, the hidden family, and that mysterious woman. These issues were still unresolved. And the most important reason was, Natalie hadn't awakened, and Tina's father hadn't been found. Their decision to register the marriage was made hastily, but the wedding needed careful preparation, to be held in the presence of Tina's parents, and then they could think about having children. Tina looked up into his eyes and smiled, "Alright."
Her Uncle always seemed to understand what she was thinking. In the villa where Elsa lived. The night was deep. A low-key black Porsche drove into the villa area. Under the warm yellow street lights, it moved unhurriedly towards Elsa's house. After the sound of the car engine turning off, Ella Bailey, supported by Woods, stepped out.
"Is this where Elsa lives now?"
The large villa, several hundred square meters in size, radiated a warm light from its windows.
Ella Bailey's eyes flickered slightly as she removed the sunglasses from her face.
Woods bowed his head in agreement, "According to the investigations by our people below, this is indeed the place. It's said that Tina found this house for them, and they haven't moved in for long. Tina's people have been protecting it, so our people couldn't locate it. Only recently, for some unknown reason, their guard has been down. Our people followed Sally and found this place."
Ella Bailey's red lips curled slightly, "I didn't expect Tina to think so highly of Elsa."
She put the sunglasses in her bag and gracefully ascended the stairs in her high heels. The doorbell rang just as the Dyer family was beginning to eat dinner.
Elsa, carrying the last dish to the table, heard the bell and wondered, "Who could it be at this hour?"
"Could it be Miss Reed?"
Austin asked, wheeling himself towards the door.
Hearing the sound, Sally ran over from the kitchen, "Dad, let me open the door. I'll open it for Tina."
Before Austin could respond, the young girl rushed to the door.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Under Austin's resigned yet indulgent gaze, she opened the door, "Tina..."
Sally joyfully opened the door, but her face fell when she saw who was standing there. Austin's complexion drastically changed. "Sally, come here!"
"Sally!"
The moment Ella Bailey's face appeared, Austin's rosy cheeks turned pale.
Almost instinctively, he shouted at Sally at the door!
But it was too late!
By the time Elsa heard the noise and came running, Sally's slight body was already held tight in Woods's arms behind Ella Bailey.
Sally had seen Ella Bailey many times before, and seeing her now, she immediately burst into tears, "Let me go! Bad woman, let me go! Mom, help!" "Enough noise!"
Ella Bailey frowned slightly, looking annoyed, "Woods, gag her mouth!"
Then, she turned to Elsa, who was frozen in place, her red lips curling into a mocking smile, "Elsa, long time no see. It seems you've been doing well lately?"
Her tone was seemingly conversational, like old friends catching up.
Yet it made Elsa shiver uncontrollably, "How did you find this place?! Let go of my daughter, Ella Bailey, if you want someone, take me!"
Ella Bailey crossed her arms, "You think just because you're connected with that woman Tina you can rest easy? Elsa, as long as you have what we want, you can't escape!"
Her sharp eyes swept over the continuously crying little girl in Woods's arms. Her gaze shifted slightly, then steadied, "If you want to save your daughter, hand over what I want! Otherwise, you know what I'm capable of!" "Ah!"
As her words fell, Woods suddenly tightened his grip. Sally couldn't withstand the force and screamed in pain.
Her cry alarmed the two elderly people upstairs, who trembled as they came down, their bodies shaking. As soon as they saw Ella Bailey, they were reminded of that day's events.
Their bodies shook, nearly collapsing to the floor in fright.
Seeing Sally in their hands, their panic turned into anger. Elsa's in-laws supported each other as they stepped forward, "Please, let Sally go, she's just a child. If you have a problem, come at us adults."
"Heh."
Ella Bailey strode forward, and Woods, with a bang, closed the door behind them, "I've always been coming for your daughter-in-law. She's uncooperative and won't hand over the items, so your granddaughter will have to suffer instead."
