Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

The room was so quiet!

It took a long while for Talon to regain his composure before he hurriedly asked, “Is there a mistake? The one who took the exam was my son, Bobby, not Zackary.”

The two messengers exchanged glances, then opened the admission letter to check the name, and said sternly, “There is no mistake, it is indeed Zackary who has been admitted.”

After a pause, one of the messengers seemed to remember something and said, “Oh, I remember Bobby you’re talking about; he didn’t pass the exam.”

Talon felt as if he had been slapped in the face twice!

It was extremely upsetting!

The un-favored Zackary of the Reed family had actually been admitted to Royal Oaks.

What was this situation?

Elizabeth couldn’t hold back either and stood up to ask, “Could you please check again? Zackary didn’t even take the exam, how could he possibly be admitted by you? Is it possible you got the name wrong?”

These two, capable enough to work at Royal Oaks, were no ordinary people.

They quickly understood the situation.

They then spoke with great seriousness, “There was an extraordinary exam held last night by the headmaster personally for him. There is no mistake with the name, nor with the admission letter, please do not doubt our work.”

In fact, they didn’t know if Zackary had taken an exam.

But the headmaster had said so, and the admission letter was personally issued by him.

They naturally wouldn’t ask further.

“I didn’t mean that…”

Before Elizabeth could finish, the messenger said, “Is Mr. Hugo Reed here? Please call him out.”

“Why are you looking for Hugo? He doesn’t live here!” Talon, very frustrated, spoke without any courtesy.

The messenger frowned slightly but didn’t say much.

Then he took out his phone and dialed the number left in their records.

Soon, the call connected, and the teacher immediately said, “Is this Mr. Hugo Reed? We’ve come to deliver the admission letter. Don’t you live in Moon Gate Estate?”

Whatever was said from the other end, the teacher then said, “Pinkwater Ally? Alright, we will head over immediately.”

Upon hearing this, Elizabeth and the others were shocked.

Pinkwater Ally?

How could that be?

Why would they live there?

After hanging up, the two messengers were ready to leave. The stunned Amber quickly came back to her senses and approached them, “Are you going to find my parents? Can I come with you?”

She had heard it right, Pinkwater Ally!

Why would Hugo live in Pinkwater Ally!

She had to find out what was going on.

The two messengers considered for a moment and then nodded, “Alright.”

On the way, Amber still couldn’t believe Hugo would live in Pinkwater Ally.

But when their car stopped, her face was filled with disbelief.

They had actually come here.

When they arrived at the floor they lived on, Amber still harbored doubts.

But a minute later, when the door opened and she saw Hugo and Jennie, Amber was completely overwhelmed.

Her mind was a blur.

Only after the messengers handed over the admission letter and left did she come back to her senses.

“Dad, Mom, why are you living here?” Amber couldn’t help but ask.

Hugo glanced at her indifferently, “We’re renting a place here.”

They hadn’t told Elizabeth and the others about their living here to avoid trouble.

But they hadn’t expected such a mix-up, and now Amber had found out first.

If she knew, so would Elizabeth.

The days ahead were likely to be difficult.

Perhaps too anxious, Amber’s tone was unconsciously sharp, “Renting? How can that be? Pinkwater Ally doesn’t rent out to outsiders.”

Jennie’s face darkened instantly as she said coldly, “Why not? The landlord thinks well of our character and was willing to rent it to us for five hundred dollars, is that not acceptable? Amber, even though we’re not your biological parents, we’ve raised you for years with care. But can’t you stand to see us do well?”

Amber’s face turned pale, “I, I didn’t mean that…”

Jennie gave her a look and didn’t bother with her, but also didn’t ask her to leave.

After all, they had raised her, and despite Amber disappointing them over the years, there were still feelings involved.

She turned and put the admission letter away.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that it’s just a kindergarten; the admission letter from Royal Oaks is very prestigious.

Hugo didn’t say anything else and went to the sofa to drink tea.

Amber looked inside; Tina and Zackary were playing with toys on the balcony, Hugo was drinking tea and watching TV, and Jennie had put away the stuff and went to the balcony to join Tina and Zackary.

The scene was harmonious and warm.

This was the life she had long envied.

When Hugo had first adopted her, she too had this kind of warmth, but unfortunately, as time went by, her attitude had changed.

Amber pursed her lips and sat down on the sofa, speaking softly, “Dad, Zackary got into Royal Oaks, and I should be happy for you, but have you thought about it? The tuition at Royal Oaks is very high, and you are currently unemployed, can you afford my brother’s tuition?”

Hugo’s hand holding the cup paused, then he looked up at her, “What are you trying to say?”

Amber with an appearance of understanding and sensibility said, “To ensure Zackary can attend school without worries, Dad, you should agree to Tina marrying Mr. Farrell. After all, with the support of the Farrell family, you could afford the tuition.”

Hugo scoffed, “You mean to say, I should sell my daughter for my son’s sake?”

Amber pursed her lips, saying nothing.

Hugo felt disappointed, “Amber, when I brought you home, our family was also struggling, but your mother and I persisted. Even if we lived a hard life, we provided for you. I may not have great skills, but I would never exchange my children for so-called glory. Do you understand?”

“Dad, I…”

Amber wanted to say something but was cut off by Hugo, “Alright, we’re going out, you should go back to your grandmother’s.”

Amber’s hands, which rested by her sides, clenched involuntarily.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

She scoffed inwardly.

They claimed to treat her as their own child, yet when they went out, they told her to return to Moon Gate Estate, clearly not considering her as part of the family.

In the end, she said nothing more and turned to leave.

After her departure, Hugo put the teacup on the table and sighed deeply.

Seeing this, Jennie asked, “What’s wrong? Why the sigh all of a sudden?”

“Amber is right; although Zackary got into Royal Oaks, the tuition is too expensive, costing tens of thousands a year. Now with my mother meddling, I can’t find a job here in Ensford, and I don’t know what we’ll do in the future.”

Jennie also sighed but said nothing.

Tina, who had just finished assembling the last block for Zackary, looked up at them and said calmly, “Mr. Reed, don’t worry, I can work and earn money to support us.”

Hugo’s irritated mood lifted with her words, and he laughed, “Alright then, I’ll rely on my Tina to provide for us.”

“Sure,” Tina said with a smile, “I’ll post on my friends’ circle, hoping to find a good job.”

After saying this, she took out her phone and posted her very first message in history: “In urgent need of a job…”

After posting, she put away the phone.

Little did she know, her inbox was about to explode with responses from that single post.
