After a brief hug, Edison finally let go of Naomi. He searched her face but only saw sadness in her eyes. "What's wrong, darling? You are not happy to see me? You didn't miss me?" he asked.
Sensing the couple's need for privacy, Alpha Thomas and Luna Alicia stood up.
"Guys, come and sit down on the sofa, make yourself comfortable. We are heading to the garden to get some fresh air. Follow us there if you are done talking," Alpha Thomas said.
"OK, sir," Edison replied cheerfully.
The older couple left the living room and exited the mansion, heading to the garden located at the back of the house.
Back in the living room, Edison and Naomi sat on the sofa beside each other.
Edison gazed into her eyes. "Darling, tell me everything. Why did you suddenly disappear without saying goodbye to me? Your father told me about the kidnapping incident. You were kidnapped by some illegal trafficking group and sold to a couple in a far away city. Is it true?"
