Chapter 1009

But after this, Bethany might leave Sunville. Since she had developed feelings for Trystan, it might have been best for everyone if she left. She soon found Robert's house. It seemed like fate was on her side as she spotted a child playing in the garden. She looked around but didn't see Derek or Robert. So, she waved at the boy. "Hey there, kiddo! Come here!" He was a handsome boy who looked timid. He watched Bethany from a distance, obviously hesitant. She took out the cupcake she had prepared earlier. "You can call me Ms. Reyes. Would you like to have this? Don't worry, I'm not a bad person. I just want to ask you a few questions." The boy thought for a moment before finally running over. Bethany handed him the cupcake. "Hello there! What's your name?" "I'm Marlon Dilan." He took the cupcake, and his gaze toward her was noticeably less guarded. She couldn't help but notice how cute he was. He had big, sparkling eyes, pale skin, and slightly long hair that framed his face.
