Chapter 265 - Lets Play Go Game (1/2)
Terry was rather confused because he had come to the penthouse several times to meet his new guardian's family and he had not seen their annoying daughter, who had forced him to come to the Continental Hotel, but he did not dare ask where the girl was.
He had decided to join Finland's family because he realized that Jean was too busy to be his guardian, even though Jean was kind enough to offer to take care of him.
Terry could not imagine if Jean had to move to Singapore to live with him, leaving a successful career in Hollywood behind for several years.
The next consideration was, of course, he would then have three 'little siblings” who would make him feel no longer lonely. After living for fifteen years as an only child, Terry very much want to know what it felt like to have siblings.
Jean accompanied him at his home in Singapore while he completed his exam and took care of his various needs before he could move out of Singapore to join Finland's family.
To avoid people from freaking out, Jean hid his face with a hat and sunglasses every time he took Terry to school. Only the principal knew who he was when they came to his office.
Terry was showered with words of condolences for the death of his parents that week and his schoolmates were sad to learn that he would move out of Singapore. He was one of the popular kids and was well liked in school, so news about his departure made many friends feel at a loss.
”I just need a new atmosphere,” Terry said to some of his friends as they were getting ready to go home, ”Later I will return to study in Singapore.”
”Really? I'm glad to hear that. It's not fun without you around,” commented his friend who was of Korean descent.
Terry nodded surely. Singapore, after all, was his home. He would definitely come back here after he was old enough to live by himself. ”Hmm... I'll arrange for a farewell party at my house. You can come this Saturday, right?”
”I can. We will come.”
”Thank you.” Terry received a call from Jean, who must have arrived at the school gate to pick him up. ”I need to go now. See you later.”
He walked quickly to the gate and found Jean waiting for him behind the steering wheel of a BMW. He went inside and both of them immediately drove away. They were heading to the penthouse for lunch with the Schneiders.
”On Saturday I want to hold a farewell party with my friends... After that, I could join the Schneider family...” Terry said on the way to the hotel. ”When will we leave Singapore?”
Jean sighed. He didn't want to answer this question. They agreed that they would not discuss Aleksis in front of Terry for fear that he would blame himself for the kidnapping of Aleksis.
No one knew when they would leave Singapore. Of course, they had to wait until Aleksis was found. It's been almost a week and there had been no news.
Even Caspar, who had extraordinary access, couldn't find his own daughter. This made everyone feel very uneasy and worried that something had happened with the girl.
Because Jean didn't immediately reply, Terry suddenly had a bad feeling. He then asked more specifically. ”Did something happen? I haven't seen Aleksis for a week...”
Jean only glanced at him and shook his head, ”We don't know.”
