The address Riley had sent turned out to be her new residence. Although it was much smaller than Adam’s house, it was decorated nicely. The interior had a warm color scheme, and the furniture was lovely. The place was homey, unlike Adam’s old-fashioned and depressing residence
Luca had also moved out with Riley. I saw his toys on the table in the living room.
Out of caution, I looked around carefully and asked Riley, “Is it safe here? Could Adam have sent someone to monitor you?”
Riley shook her head and rolled her eyes bitterly.
“Don’t worry. Adam doesn’t have the time to care about me now. Janiya has gone missing, and he’s pissed. He has all his men looking for her everywhere.”
I sighed in relief.
It seemed that this place was safe, at least for the time being.
Debra’s POV;
Riley’s words reminded me that Janiya was still missing.
Maybe she knew she how much trouble she was in, so she didn’t dare to come out of hiding.
I only hoped that Carlos could find her as soon as possible so that we could keep the news of Caleb’s poisoning under wraps.
Today was the weekend, so Luca was also at home. I saw him squatting in the corner of the living room, looking very sad, so I asked with concern, “Luca, how are you feeling? Are you okay?”

Luca lowered his gaze and sighed sadly. “My friend, Elena, suddenly transferred to another school. I miss her so much!”
I sighed alongside him.
Unexpectedly, Elena made a good friend here instead of in the Xeric
Pack. Luca had treated her well, and naturally, he felt sad at her abrupt leave.
I ruffled his curly hair and said gently, “Elena misses you, too. I just know that you two will see each other again someday.”
I wasn’t sure if my words of comfort worked, but a thought seemed to have occurred to Luca. He Looked up with fierce determination and said firmly, “We will!”
He seemed to be in a better mood and stood up from the corner, retreating to the living room to watch TV.
Having witnessed the whole exchange, Riley looked at me gratefully.
“Luca has been in a bad mood Lately. No matter how hard I tried to comfort him, it didn’t work. Fortunately, you were able to make him feel better.”
I didn’t think it was a big deal.
“That’s how kids are. Sometimes they just need a Little talking to think things through.”
Riley nodded. “That’s true.”
She glanced at Luca, who was engrossed in his cartoons, and then whispered to me, “Come with me, Debra.” @
