Chapter 1410: Meeting in the Ancient Town
Monica also stopped and looked at him with a puzzled expression, wondering why he wasn't walking.
He took out his phone and earphones, tapped the screen with his well-defined fingers, and then hung noveldrama
the earphones around her neck. "Listen to music, don't listen to their nonsense."
Still confused, she let him help her put on the earphones, and a song began to play. He adjusted the
volume to a suitable level, put the phone back in his pocket, and wrapped his arm around her shoulder
again, leading her forward. The beautiful melody and lyrics quickly captivated her thoughts and
drowned out the surrounding gossip. Monica gradually immersed herself in another world and felt less
afraid.
The morning dew began to thin, and they followed the innkeeper along the green stone path. There
weren't many tourists, making the place even more serene. Monica admired the beauty of the ancient
town, listening to the folk-style songs, and felt content beside the man she liked.
"Claire! Claire?!" Not far ahead, Rowan was running and searching. He was coming towards them,
already sweating on his forehead. Tristan and Monica saw him at the same time and both paused in
surprise. Rowan walked anxiously, glancing around as if searching for something, taking out his phone
to make a call, but no one answered.
"Claire! Where are you?! Claire! Come out!!" Rowan was really worried. Tristan and Monica stopped
walking, and she even took off her earphones, hearing Rowan calling for Claire. When they were only
three meters apart, Rowan finally saw them.
Rowan, who had been searching anxiously, stopped in his tracks, holding his phone. Why were they
here too? Tristan had a vague feeling that something was wrong. Rowan approached him, "Have you...
seen Claire?" He sounded panicked. From the fear and panic in his eyes, Tristan realized that Claire
was missing. His heart sank heavily, plummeting to the bottom!
The innkeeper, who was carrying their luggage, looked back and thought, "How did they start
chatting?" Tristan met Rowan's gaze, becoming more certain of his inner suspicions. He tensed up and
quickly told the innkeeper, "Please put our luggage in the room first. We'll navigate there ourselves
later!"
"Oh, alright!" The innkeeper glanced at the three of them, picked up the luggage, and left, thinking it
was quite a coincidence to meet acquaintances like this. They looked around and saw more than ten
police officers helping with the search, as if they were investigating a criminal case.
Rowan quickly explained the situation to them, telling them that Claire was missing. "Her phone was
fully charged when she left. We were on an ancient bridge, and I just went to the restroom. When I
came out, she was gone, and her phone was unreachable."
"How long has it been?" Tristan's expression changed, and there was a hint of anxiety and concern in
his voice. Rowan replied, "It's been two hours already." Her heart grew even more panicked.
Tristan pointed to an alley on the right and asked, "Have you searched this alley?" "Not yet," Rowan
shook his head, feeling helpless and regretful. "It's all my fault." "Now is not the time to blame yourself;
finding her is more important." Tristan didn't even hold onto Monica, walking straight into the alley by
himself.
Monica was startled, glanced at Rowan, and hurriedly followed Tristan. The earphones playing music
fell out of his pocket. Just a moment ago, he had been worried about her being scared, but now he had
left her behind.
