Chapter 113

Aileen raised her hand, pointed at the dog and shouted, “That’s not Bowling! Nana replaced it with

another puppy.”

Replaced?

Putting down Aileen, Eliana walked up to the puppy and looked at it carefully.

The dog’s eyes were a little brown and slightly different from Bowling’s pure black pupils.

Indeed, this wasn’t Bowling.

“Nana, what’s going on? Where is Bowling?”

Eliana looked at Nana curiously.

Embarrassed, Nana scratched her head and avoided making eye contact with Eliana.

“If I tell you the truth, please don’t be mad at me.”

All of a sudden, Eliana had a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach.

“Go ahead.”

“Well… The puppy ran away and I don’t know where to find it.” Nana decided to tell the truth.

“Ran away? Why? Where did you see it last? And, where did you get this dog?”

Eliana had a lot of questions as she pointed at the unknown dog lying prone on the floor.

“I am so sorry. I lost it by accident. I was afraid that you were going to get angry, so I found a puppy

that resembled Bowling to keep everyone calm.”

Nana’s voice trailed off as she spoke.

The news shocked Eliana’s senses as she started to feel a little light-headed.

Damn! Bowling was missing! She was doomed!

After all, the ring was still inside Bowling’s belly. With that dog gone, how was she going to find the ring

to give to Preston?

All of a sudden, as if it were some joke that was being played on her, she received a call from Preston.

Eliana pulled a long face as she held the phone in her hand.

“Eliana, are you okay?” Nana cautiously tried to get her attention.

Eliana snorted and poked Nana on the forehead.

“Now you care about me? It’s too late now. What am I going to do? The owner of the ring is calling me.”

Eliana had a raging headache as she contemplated whether to answer Preston’s call or not.

“Eliana, don’t worry. I will take responsibility, since I lost the dog. Give me your phone. I’ll talk to him.”

With a solemn expression on her face, Nana raised her hand and tried to grab the phone from Eliana.

“Stop it!”

Eliana held her phone tightly. However, she exerted too much strength and the phone flew out of her

hand.

While the phone was in mid-air, Eliana noticed that she had accidentally answered his call. The call

automatically went on speaker as soon as it was connected.

Both she and Nana rushed to pick up the phone, but they accidentally bumped their heads into each

other and fell to the floor.

The phone flew, hitting the corner of the sofa on the way before it slid and stopped in front of the

unknown puppy.

The dog’s eyes lit up as it assumed the phone to be some kind of a toy and it licked the screen

excitedly.

“Stop, puppy!” Adrian shouted anxiously.

The playful puppy pushed the phone under the sofa and then tried to dig it out from there with its paws.

“My phone!” Eliana screamed in sheer horror.

Adrian and Aileen rushed to the puppy. However, the puppy was so lively that it ran away as fast as it

could and instead the two children ended up falling on the floor after trying to catch it.

The scene was absolutely chaotic.

Meanwhile, Maurice heard children’s voices and a puppy barking on the other end of the line.

Confused, he removed the phone from his ear and looked at the screen.

It was indeed Eliana’s number.

“Hello, Eliana. Is that you? Are there children around you?”

Maurice frowned and wondered why the children’s voices sounded familiar.

It was a feeling he couldn’t quite explain and yet its existence was undeniable.

Could it be the boy and girl twins he had seen before?

Damn it! Alert!

Despite the pain on her body, Eliana turned her head to the other people in the room and brought her

finger to her lips.

“Shh…”
