Chapter 564: Chapter 580: Engagement Banquet without a Female Protagonist (3)

Isabel Smith was originally afraid that Raymond Thompson would be angry, but now seeing him actively talking to her, she immediately smiled gently and said, "Older Sister will get it for you."

"Okay..." Raymond was particularly delighted and said one word, but then he realized that his too-excited reaction might expose his plan, so he nodded, smartly and sensibly, saying, "Thank you, Sister Isabel."

Pausing for a moment, Raymond added, "I want Jungle Juice, orange-flavored."

Isabel stood up, patted Raymond’s little head, and said, "Then wait for your Older Sister."

After speaking, Isabel went to the kitchen.

There was a lot of Jungle Juice in the refrigerator, but no orange flavor, only peach flavor!

It would take Sister Isabel a long time to find it!

So, he needed to take advantage of this time to escape!

This was Raymond’s plan, so as soon as Isabel entered the kitchen, he quickly slid down from the sofa and, crouching low, stealthily ran towards the entrance hall, tiptoed, opened the door, and went out.

Raymond ran hurriedly, afraid of being discovered by Percy Stanton and Isabel Smith. He even left the door open and rushed straight to the elevator, pressing the "down" button.

Raymond anxiously watched the red numbers on the elevator go from the tenth floor to the eighteenth. He glanced back at the quiet apartment, then hurriedly entered the elevator and pressed "1".

As the elevator approached the first floor, Raymond suddenly remembered the mobile phone he was carrying and quickly took it out of his pocket, turning it off.

Raymond jogged all the way from the elevator to the main street outside the apartment. He didn’t know when he would find his mum, so he was particularly frugal. He ran to a nearby bus stop and chose to take a bus.

Raymond asked a middle-aged woman who was waiting for the bus how to get to Starhaven University.

Seeing a child asking for directions, the middle-aged woman unconsciously asked, "Little kid, where’s your mum?"

"I’m going to find my mum." Raymond held his head high, looking at the middle-aged woman, answering.

Hearing this, the middle-aged woman’s heart instantly softened. She immediately and kindly told Raymond the bus route he should take in great detail.

Raymond had a good memory. The middle-aged woman only said it twice, and he had it memorized.

At this time, the first 117 bus that Raymond needed to take arrived. Before boarding, he thoughtfully waved to the middle-aged woman who had given him directions, "Auntie, goodbye."

"Goodbye, be careful when crossing the road." The middle-aged woman carefully instructed Raymond.

Raymond nodded, boarded the bus, and then took out two one-dollar coins from his pocket, which were the change from buying Yakult at noon, and put them into the coin machine.

...

Isabel was the first to notice that Raymond was missing. She had searched the refrigerator for a long time, hadn’t found any orange-flavored Jungle Juice, so she took out a bottle of peach-flavored Jungle Juice and came out.

As she walked, Isabel spoke to Raymond, who she thought was still sitting on the living room sofa, "Raymond, there’s no orange-flavored juice left. Can you drink the peach-flavored one?"

The response was silence.

Isabel went around the hollow shelf at the restaurant, looked at the sofa, and found it empty, without Raymond’s shadow.

Isabel frowned, placed the Jungle Juice on the tea table, and headed towards the bathroom. It was also empty, so she went to Raymond’s bedroom, which was still empty.

Isabel called for Raymond while checking Percy Stanton’s bedroom. As she came out, Isabel noticed that the door at the entrance area was half-open.

Isabel’s heart suddenly sank, and a touch of panic flashed through her mind. Regardless of whether Percy was making a phone call in the study and she needed to knock first, she pushed the door open and urgently addressed him, "Percy, there’s a problem. Raymond has disappeared."
