Kapitel 18: Finally Home!

Present Day: West Wing, Versailles Manor

Inside the study room, two young men were engaged in a heated discussion, their voices low but urgent as they debated how to solve a major crisis. The atmosphere was tense until the door swung open, and Ethan walked in, his eyes scanning the room. But the person he was looking for wasn't there.

Ethan's brow furrowed. "Where's Little Tiger?"

Both Bai Tian and Lu Junhui stopped mid-argument, turning to face him.

Bai Tian responded first, his tone casual. "Hello, Ethan. Looking for Xiao Hu? He's right..." He glanced over his shoulder at the sofa behind them, expecting to see the boy.

But the sofa was empty.

Little Tiger was missing. A moment ago, he had been right there.

Shit! Where did he go? Bai Tian's heart raced as realization dawned.
