Chapter 6

Noelle had been married for eight years and knew Tommy. She looked at Tommy and stepped back cautiously. “What if I say it wasn’t me?”

“Noelle, don’t be like this…”

Tommy pressed on step by step, his voice trembling, his eyes reddened and seeing Noelle was reluctant to admit it, he suddenly grabbed Noelle’s neck. “Think about your parents. You don’t want to be an orphan again, do you? I remember they are afraid of the sea, right?”

Tommy raised a strange smile at the corner of his mouth. Looking at the crazy look of the man in front of him, Noelle’s mind was filled with the despair when his parents were drowned in the previous life.

It was like this again. Noelle felt a surge of blood rushing to her head. She kept slapping Tommy’s hands with both hands, trying to steal a breath of fresh air from his palm. Seeing Noelle’s painful appearance, Tommy’s eyes flashed with a trace of pity, but the strength did not decrease. “Tell me where Camilla is. The child is innocent anyway. I know you are the kindest. My people are on the way to find your parents.”

With a whisper, Noelle’s psychological defense line completely collapsed.

Tears instantly overflowed from the corners of her eyes and the warm tears flowed to the back of Tommy’s hand. His hand trembled and the strength also became lighter.

“Okay, I’ll tell you.”

Noelle lied for the first time.

She casually gave a clue and Tommy really let go of her hand and asked the people who went to find her parents to withdraw. Before leaving, he said to the servant beside him, “Take good care of the lady. She is not allowed to go out without my permission.”

The door was closed again. Noelle collapsed on the ground. She covered her neck and gasped.

Perhaps it was because the emotions after rebirth had been suppressed for too long, at this moment her tears could not be controlled and fell down. In a moment, she trembled and took out a pack of cigarettes from the drawer and lit it for herself with trembling hands.

The smell of cigarettes gradually filled the air.

The smell of nicotine gradually calmed Noelle’s heart.

On the other side, Tommy actually followed Noelle’s clues and found Camilla, to be precise, he found the last place where Camilla appeared.

The seaside.

Almost instantly, Tommy thought of Noelle.

Just because he threatened Noelle to throw her parents into the sea, Noelle did this to Camilla first. He pinched his eyebrows, his eyebrows full of anger and helplessness.

He just wanted a child.

As for Camilla, he was only interested temporarily, but sooner or later he would have to live a good life with Noelle.

He thought she would understand.

When Tommy returned to the Baldwin Family’s house again, Noelle was still sitting by the bed in the bedroom. When he opened the door, a large cloud of smoke came up. Tommy frowned and his eyes passed through the smoke and fell on Noelle.

“Where’s Camilla?”

Noelle was stunned and then laughed out loud.

She extinguished the cigarette butt and asked, “Did she run away again?”

“You really know her whereabouts.” Tommy put the blame on Noelle again without saying anything, but this time he did not force the question, but directly asked someone to take Noelle to the beach.

Noelle couldn’t swim.

There was a little fear in her eyes. “Tommy, what are you doing?”

“Go down and find Camilla. I want to see her alive or dead.”

With Tommy’s order, Noelle was kicked into the sea.
