Chapter 656

“You look amazing and young even with three children. If you don’t embrace the chance to dress up now, when will you get the opportunity?” Linsey teased.

Kallie was left speechless.

Sophie jumped in. “Mom, you’ll always be beautiful to me. Don’t say you’re not young!”

Kallie smiled softly and pinched Sophie’s cheek. “Alright. Let’s get going.”

The festival was steeped in local traditions, rich with a vibrant cultural atmosphere that enveloped everyone.

Given that it was a significant local holiday, many people adorned themselves in their finest attire, creating a dazzling display of colors and styles.

Kallie didn’t feel out of place at all. In fact, as she strolled through the crowd, she inadvertently drew the gaze of many onlookers, who admired her with awe and appreciation.

Several young men were so enchanted by Kallie’s beauty that they blushed.

A few daring ones even gathered the courage to approach Kallie and offered to accompany her on her stroll. But Kallie politely declined their advances with a gentle smile.

gαℓησν𝒆𝓁s．𝒸𝗈𝗺 brings magic to life Linsey grew visibly anxious. She glanced over her shoulder and caught sight of Wayne, noticing his furrowed brow.

“What’s wrong?” Linsey asked, concerned.

Wayne shook his head, letting out a slight sigh. “I had a friend who was supposed to be here today. We missed each other last time, and we were hoping to catch up this time, but he just told me he couldn’t make it.”

“It’s rare to meet someone like him,” Wayne added, a hint of disappointment in his voice. “We really clicked the first time we met. It’s quite a shame as I won’t be around here again anytime soon.”

Linsey thought for a moment before asking, “Does your friend live nearby?”

Wayne nodded but seemed resigned. “Yeah, but it’s complicated. Even if I make the effort, seeing him isn’t exactly easy. Sometimes, it’s best to let things be. He is with the Morgan family.”

Linsey quickly caught on to Wayne’s drift.

Tension had been brewing between the Morgan and Simpson families recently. Neither side approved of the other’s behavior, and with tensions running high, it would have been especially inappropriate for Wayne to visit the Morgan family.

Linsey’s face lit up with an idea. “Kallie is close with the Morgan family’s eldest son, Clayton. He’s the heir to the family business. Maybe Kallie could help you meet your friend.”

Wayne’s eyes widened with hope. “Really?”

“Of course,” Linsey replied with a grin. But her expression quickly turned serious. “But I have one request.

You’ve worked in journalism and know people from all over. Could you help Kallie find her husband and daughter? It might be easier for you to track them down through your connections.”

Wayne nodded. “I’ve heard bits and pieces about her situation. Her husband and daughter vanished without a trace.”

Wayne’s lips curled into a wry smile as realization hit him. “Ah, so you’re asking me to help find them after all this.”

Linsey let out a playful snort. “So, you don’t want to help?”

Wayne quickly said, determination flashing in his eyes, “I’m more than willing to lend a hand.”

He fixed his gaze on Linsey, his eyes brimming with sincerity. “You won’t have to put yourself through all this again. Whatever you need from me, say the word, and I’ll take care of it for you.”
