Chapter 422
Neil remained calm. “I trust her. Grandma will be fine.”
Melanie gritted her teeth. There was anger written all over her face.
“You trust her? Neil, have you been blinded by love? Now that Liam’s taken Remus
Corporation and your grandmother’s whereabouts are unknown, it’s possible that Silvia and Liam are in cahoots!”
Neil was instantly offended by her words. He was filled with dissatisfaction.
“Mom, I don’t want to hear you say anything like that again.”
Seeing that he was truly angry, caution flashed across her eyes. She was still a little fearful of her son.
“I’m just reminding you. I’m doing this for your own good!”
Neil was apathetic. “I don’t need you to do that.”
“How dare you!”
Melanie was so angry that her face turned red. She then left in a huff.
Jake frowned as he looked at Neil. “Neil, your grandmother’s safety is not a trivial matter. We need to find her and Silvia as soon as possible. Forget your mother, even I won’t let Silvia off the hook if anything happens to your grandmother!” he said solemnly.
After that, he chased after Melanie.
In less than an hour, Liam learned of Melanie and Jake’s return.
He smiled as he sat in his living room and savored some red wine that had just been shipped from abroad. “Since everyone’s here, it’s time for them to give me back what they owe me!” His butler lowered his eyes and said, “Sir, what about Madam Remus and Miss Pond?”
“Keep looking. Two full–grown adults can’t just disappear like that all of a sudden!” “Noted!”
After his butler left, Ada walked out of the bedroom and entered the kitchen to pour a glass of water. When she passed by the living room, Liam called out to her.
“Come over here!”
Ada stopped and turned to him.
“What’s the matter?”
Noticing the wariness in her eyes, Liam scoffed. “If I really wanted to harm the child in your belly, do you think you could escape?”
She kept quiet for a few seconds and slowly walked toward him.
Just as she approached the couch. Liam wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into his embrace.
Ada gasped in surprise and subconsciously reached out to protect her belly. Her heart was

filled with fear.
“Don’t be afraid.”

In the next second, Liam caressed her flat belly and spoke with some distaste, “Why isn’t the baby kicking?”
Ada was shocked. She looked at Liam as if she was staring at a ghost.
Not too long ago, he tried to get her to abort the baby. So, why was he suddenly acting like he was looking forward to the child’s arrival?
“It’s only been a month. It’s still the size of a soybean. How could it possibly be kicking?”
Liam raised an eyebrow in surprise. “It’s that small?”
“Yes,”
Ada removed his hand from her stomach and softly said. “If there’s nothing else, I’m going to bed.
Liam did not get angry. He wrapped his arms around her waist and said, “After the baby’s born, we’ll get married.”
By then, his revenge would pretty much be over.
Ada frowned. “Liam, what’s wrong with you today?”
Why would he suddenly say something like that?
Liam smiled and slowly said, “It just dawned on me that having a child would be quite nice.”
Her eyes were full of disbelief as she pushed him away and got up. “I’m going to rest.”
He did not stop her, but Ada could feel that his eyes were glued to her. The feeling of being watched only disappeared after she entered the bedroom and closed the door.
