Chapter 406
“This is your robot. I can’t take it.” Zoe shook her head, still refusing to take it.
“No, you have to.” Cedrick forcefully stuffed the robot into Zoe’s arms, making sure that the other would have no choice.
Due to his unrelenting attitude, Zoe could only accept the robot in embarrassment.
“Thank you!”
If she had to be honest, except for presents from her Daddy, Mommy and two older brothers, Zoe was not very interested in gifts from others.
After Zoe accepted the robot, Cedrick happily pulled her to continue playing with other toys.
And to no one’s surprise, he also insisted that they have dinner together.
This time, Zoe responded positively immediately, so they went to the dining room. Cedrick was the first to enter. However, the moment he stepped inside, he froze.
Several people were already seated at the dining table. The main seat was occupied by the old man in a wheelchair who appeared in the room yesterday.
On one side, there was also the young man who was pushing the old man’s wheelchair, followed by two women, one quite old and the other young and beautiful.
Zoe froze in place, but Cedrick couldn’t wait to introduce his new favorite person to the old man in the main seat.
“Grandpa, this is the new friend I made today. Her name is Zoe. She is amazing! She can unlock all the eighteen forms of the latest robot that my uncle gave me. I can’t even do it!”
“Grandpa, I like her very much. Can you let her come to the table and eat with us?” Cedrick looked eagerly at the old man in the main seat.
The old man’s eyes fell on Zoe long after she came in. His gaze held a sense of superiority, making Zoe feel a chill run down her spine.
There was silence for a long time until a smile appeared on the old man’s face, but it was directed
towards Cedrick.
“Well, you can do whatever you want.”
“Prepare an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks,” he ordered the servant. When he looked away from his grandson, the change in his expression was quite obvious.
After Zoe followed him to the table, she felt the atmosphere drop. It was awkward and uncomfortable, but there was one thing that everyone cared about, and that was Cedrick.
Even the serious and unsmiling old man would personally serve the little boy’s food, and only when he was interacting with his grandson would he seem a bit more amiable.
Zoe seems to be eating quietly, but in fact, her eyes have been sneaking peeks at the situation in the
table.
“Zoe, you eat this! This is delicious. I like it the most. Cedrick picked up the food for Zoe with an eager smile.

Zoe took a bite and nodded with a smile. “It’s delicious.”
Cedrick beamed at her positive response. His eyes were twinkling and his smile was bright.
Looking at his grandson who had a smile that he hadn’t seen for a long time, the old man’s gaze at Zoe also softened a little.
This child can make his Ceddie so happy, but it was a pity that she could not stay by his side.
Zoe saw the look of regret in the old man’s eyes from the corner of her eye, and her heart tightened.
After the dinner was over, Cedrick wanted Zoe to continue playing with him, but the servant had already stepped forward under the old man’s signal.
“Young master, I have to take her back.”
Hearing the servant’s words, the smile on Cedrick’s face dissipated instantly, and he looked very
unhappy.
“Ceddie, come here.” The old man sat not far away and waved to Cedrick.
Cedrick walked over with no joy on his face. “Grandpa, I still want to spend time with her. Can you let her stay with me?”
The old man looked at Zoe who was beside his grandson. She was a sweet and lovely girl. No wonder his little grandson liked her so much.
“From now on, grandpa will let her be with you forever, okay?” the old man softly coaxed Cedrick.
Wouldn’t putting her heart in her grandson mean that she would be with Ceddie forever?
Hearing his grandfather’s words, Cedrick only thought that his grandfather needed some time to work on it so that Zoe could be with him forever, so he immediately nodded happily.
“Okay! That’s a promise, grandpa.”
When it was time to part ways for rest, Cedrick personally sent Zoe to the door, followed by his uncle who was going to send her back.
“You must come and play with me in the future.” Cedrick held Zoe’s hand reluctantly.
Zoe really wanted to say something, but the older man beside him was not easy to provoke, so she could only pretend to be obedient and nodded.
Afterwards, the car started, and the man took the servant and Zoe away.
As the car was moving, Zoe watched the life outside the window from the corner eye, trying to find any useful information.
She didn’t know if it was because she looked too seriously, but the man sitting in the front seat spotted her.
The man suddenly said, “Cover her eyes.”
The servant didn’t dare to hesitate and immediately covered Zoe’s eyes.
Zoe was a little flustered when all she could see was darkness. She wanted to write down some useful things to pave the way for her escape.
It took a very long while until Zoe regained her sight back, and she found that they were already in an
apartment.

The man looked at the servant and Zoe, and said coldly, “Take care of her.”
The servant also knew that what happened today angered the boss. If she hadn’t made the decision last time to let the girl out of the room, she wouldn’t have let the young master see her and insist on pulling her to play with him.
She immediately nodded in response.
“I understand, sir.”
After the man left, the servant looked at Zoe angrily, “It’s all your fault! The master must be blaming me.”
“Auntie, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault,” Zoe immediately apologized with lowered head.
Seeing such a pitiful but lovely appearance, the servant couldn’t say anything harsh anymore.
“Forget it, forget it. I don’t blame you anymore. There is a room here. You can go to sleep by yourself.” The servant waved her hand casually, letting Zoe go to rest by herself.
The matter had already escalated to this and there was no more changing what happened. And since the little girl already apologized, the servant let it rest.
On the other side, Jane finally got through the police investigation, locked the location of the suspect vehicle, and immediately followed Drake over there.
However, when they got to the location of the car, they only saw a dilapidated car.
The car was parked in a wilderness, and there were traces of other vehicles besides the car after investigation at the scene.
But because the scene was too remote and there were no cameras around, it was even more difficult to investigate now.
“Judging from the current situation, your child should have been brought here, got transferred to another vehicle, and then taken away.” This was the conclusion that the main police officer of the investigation could come to.
In short, they were at a dead end again. Jane couldn’t help but feel disappointed.
“Don’t worry. We will intensify the investigation and find your lost daughter as soon as possible,” the officer said again, trying to bring as much hope as he could to the couple.
