How to Destroy a Cheater Without Saying Goodbye novel Chapter 27

She'd been acting strangely these past two days, and it wasn't just because of her period.

It probably had something to do with that man with the child.

Eddy frowned. That man was likely the reason Laney had suddenly left Novandria.

Maybe he was someone Laney knew.

Just thinking that there was a man around Blanche—someone unknown, beyond Eddy's reach—made his heart twist with unease.

Suddenly, Eddy's phone began to ring.

Three sharp beeps echoed through the car.

Blanche remembered the three texts she'd sent Eddy from the flight attendant's phone on the plane. If Eddy ever found out, he'd probably lock her up and never let her speak to anyone from the outside world again.

If that happened, even if the Director-General's people came, they'd never find her.

She snapped out of her thoughts just as Eddy unlocked his phone and opened the messages.

Blanche lunged, snatched the phone from his hand, rolled down the window, and hurled it out with all her strength.

The car was crossing the long bridge over the bay, and the phone tumbled into the churning waves below. It was gone for good.

When they arrived at Simmons Mansion, the first to greet them was a bodyguard.

"Mr. Simmons, I found the man you asked me to track down," the bodyguard said, handing over a folder.

At his words, Blanche turned to Eddy.

Blanche's mind flashed back to that voice—almost unreal—calling out to her.

"Sister."

Only someone from the organization would address her that way.

But no one from the organization would dare reach out to her outside its walls. That was the rule: once you left, you were strangers.

"Why were you looking for them?"

If it really was someone from the organization—and he'd risked everything for her—she couldn't let him face danger because of her.

"To repay him, of course."

Eddy ran his hand through Blanche's soft hair, choosing not to hold a grudge.
