Chapter 112: Racking Your Brains

"Delicious! I love this dish! In the dining room of Sean's residence, Camilla, who was eating a dinner cooked by Galen, praised excitedly.

"Xiexie, I'm so happy, I've been worried about cooking dinner before, what if you don't like it, and now I'm relieved." Galen said with a smile next to him.

"Don't be too complacent, Galen, she's just a novelty." Sean, who was pulling the plate on the other side, splashed cold water unhurriedly.

"Not really!" Camila immediately grimaced, "Galen is a great cook. ”

Sean rolled his eyes, didn't say anything more, and then gave Sanders a look, who then said, "By the way, Millie, are you playing games?" ”

"What game? Video games? I've only played Tetris, what game do you usually play? Camila, who was attracted by this topic, asked curiously.

Sean took the opportunity to get up and say "I'll walk around the yard", quickly left the restaurant, and then quickly took out the phone and dialed.

"Damn, Little Joe, you're answering the phone." Listening to the voice coming from there, Sean said depressedly that after bringing Camilla back, he took the time to call Jordana from time to time, but unfortunately he still refused to answer.

There is no doubt that she did it on purpose, because on at least two occasions, after he had called, he was cut off after one or two rings. It's terrible, if it drags on any longer, and her parents call the police and issue an Amber alert, then she will be in real trouble.

Finally, his bad luck passed, and Jordana's voice sounded over there: "Why, call me so urgently, did you forget to say something to me?" ”

"Thank goodness if you don't answer the phone again, I'm finished." Sean breathed a sigh of relief.

"Really? Looks like I should hang up right away. Jordana replied with a hum.

"I'm serious, Little Joe!" Sean hurriedly raised his voice, "Millie is here with me now, she slipped out without permission, and the family doesn't know!" ”

There was silence for a long time, probably not figuring out who Millie was, but soon Jordana's exclamation sounded: "Where is Millie in you?!" ”

"That's right, you'd better call her home quickly, or I'll be in trouble if they call the police." Sean said quickly.

"Okay, I'll get them to contact you right away." Jordana was about to hang up the phone as she spoke, but was immediately stopped by Sean: "Wait, there's one more thing, I need you to be the middleman." ”

"The middleman? Let's be clear! ”

"Millie's parents must be very anxious now, if they talk to me directly, it is likely to have a conflict in communication, so you don't tell them my phone number and address first, you can relay our conversation with each other in the middle, and only after they have a certain psychological preparation can they communicate peacefully."

"Okay, I got it."

After ending the call with Jordana, Sean immediately began to wait patiently, and took the time to go in and take a look, with Galen and Sanders coaxing, Camila was happily playing video games, and forgot about him for the time being.

Finally, after almost half an hour, Jordana's phone call came in again: "I'm on the phone with them, Sean." ”

"How's it going?" Sean took a deep breath.

"Fortunately, before Camilla slipped away, she put a note in the pocket of the nanny's clothes, saying that she was going out to play, so they haven't called the police yet. However, if my call had been ten minutes late, the result would have been hard to say. Presumably because of the certainty that things were under control for the time being, Jordana's tone was a little teasing.

She has some heads. Sean breathed a sigh of relief again: "So, what did her parents say?" ”

"Madam Gould was a little agitated, but Mr. Rolls was calm, and he asked me to thank you for him, and then he wished to talk to you on the phone." Jordana said.

"Sounds like it's okay, you can text me their phone number." Sean said.

Soon, Jordana's text message arrived, and Sean went into the house again, shook it in front of Camilla, and made sure that her attention was still elsewhere before coming out and broadcasting the number again.

"This is the Rouse family, who are you looking for?" A woman's voice rang out.

"Hello, I'm looking for Jack? Wesley? Mr. Law, I'm Sean? Don, his daughter Camilla......" Before Sean could finish his sentence, he was drowned out by a rapid voice from the other side.

"What's wrong with Millie?! Is she okay?! Did she get hurt?! Are you scared?! God, I really shouldn't have said that about her, please, let me have a word with her, let me have a word with her......" The woman over there was so excited that she was about to cry, and Sean had to hold her phone away from her.

There was no doubt that it was Camilla's mother, and listening to Ra's panicked voice, Sean began to understand a little bit that Camilla Weishenme would resist to this extent.

"Alright, Chrissy, I'll do it." A calm voice came from there, "Hello, I'm Jack?" Wesley? Rouse, Mr. Don, was that my wife Christina just now? Gould, she was a little worried about Millie, after all, Millie had never left her side like she was now, so she was a little out of shape. ”

"You can call me Sean, Mr. Law," Sean didn't bother to take it to heart, "I'll have to ask you to do it first, and I won't ask a friend to call you until now." ”

"It's okay, I want to make sure, is Millie okay now?" Rouse asked.

"Yes, she's playing games, video games, my assistant is taking care of her, you don't have to worry." Sean glanced into the room.

"Can I talk to her then?"

"That's exactly what I'm saying, Mr. Law......"

"Jack."

"Well, Jack, I'd like to say that Millie is very reluctant to contact you at the moment, and if she had known that I was on the phone with you, she might not trust me anymore and even think about leaving here."

"Can I know this is weishenme?"

Although the voice was still calm, Sean still heard a hint of distrust, well, don't blame them, this is indeed a strange thing. His daughter first left a note on the set to go out and disappeared, and waited until the evening. A strange man calls and says that his daughter is there, but he doesn't let his family talk to his daughter, and if he is replaced by other parents, he will also be suspicious, even if this man is a star and knows his daughter's friends.

"Well, I'll start at the beginning, Jack." Sean said after scratching his head.

Next, he told Camilla's father in detail about what had happened in the afternoon, including how the little girl had slipped into his car, how he had played a scoundrel, how he had forced him to take her around by threatening her for help, and what he had said about his parents while watching the sunsetβ€”Sean had reservations here, and he didn't want to irritate the other party anymore.

"Anyway, she's asking to spend the night with me now, and she's not allowed me to call you, and if she finds out I'm talking to you, I don't know what she'll do." Sean Zuihou said.

There was silence for a moment before another voice came: "We need to discuss, please keep your phone on, okay?" ”

"Please as soon as possible." That's what Sean just said.

Fortunately, Rouse didn't keep him waiting too long: "I'll admit, I'm out a lot, and although I support Millie's career, I still don't care enough about her, and her mom sometimes ...... Too doting. So, I thought it might be better for me to come forward and talk to her alone, and if I could, I'll come to you right now. ”

Sean smiled bitterly, fortunately, he was prepared: "I want to ask, Jack, do you trust Little Joe?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Of course. He hesitated for a moment before replying.

"Well, I have an idea......

Finally, Shaun, who ended the call, returned to the house, and Sanders was playing the guitar and singing to Camilla, but his jishu was still a little second, so when Sean came in, the little girl's attention immediately shifted.

"Hey, Sean, can you sing another song?" She said with a grin, but immediately showed a look of suspicion, "Where did you go before?" ”

"Called my agent and asked for an update on the movie I auditioned for." Sean said casually, the more secretive he is at this time, the easier it is not to see through, even if Camilla is just a little guy.

From the afternoon when she said that she shouted for help, she knew that there were some things that she really said and did, so she couldn't be careless at all.

Squinted her eyes and looked at Sean for a long time before Camila smiled again: "By the way, Sandy said you can also play the piano, how about playing a song for me to listen to?" I'll play it too. ”

"No kidding, I just know a few fingerings, and I don't have a piano here." Sean walked over and pressed her head, "Listen, Millie, I need to talk to you." ”

"Is there anything important?" Camila blinked.

"Yes, very important." Sean pointed to the room inside, "Let's go there." ”

"Can we leave it untouched?" The little girl looked pleading.

"You're already headstrong today." Sean said only that, and then went inside.

Although Camila pursed her lips and snorted heavily, she still jumped to the ground, then picked up Lucy and beckoned to Pock: "Pock, come on, let's go together." ”

The puppy immediately wagged his tail and followed, and the proud kitten shrank meekly in the little girl's arms and yawned. Sanders was speechless when he saw it, you must know that it took him a long time to barely gain Pock's trust, and as for Lucy, among the three men in the family, only Sean can still give it a haircut.

"Let's talk about your family, Millie," Sean, who was waiting there, opened up as Camila came in and found a place to sit down, "You can't stay with me forever, can you?" ”

Camilla, who opened her mouth to say something, fell silent again after hearing this.

"You see, you haven't called home until now, you should know what your family will worry about, right?" Sean continued.

"Then let them worry!" Camila suddenly lost her temper, "Anyway, they always worry about this and that, they always want me to do this and that, and now it's good to worry about it......"

Sean listened quietly, not interjecting, except to glance at the small round table next to another couch, where there was an extension of a landline telephone and hands-free.
