Daddy, don't flirt

Chapter 373: He Already Knows the Answer

Jamie Moore fumbles around the cabin for a while, unable to find the door. She then walks to the oil lamp, to light it up. But then the ship violently shakes as the sound of the sea beating against the wood board becomes harsh.

As she is about to arrive at the oil lamp, she is flung against the board, resulting in a burst of pain in her back. The shaking lasts for about three minutes, and when Jamie Moore doesn’t feel the shaking of ship anymore, she continues on towards the lamp.

Unfortunately, the ship’s shaking just now didn’t let the oil lamp fall, since it is fixed in that place. Not able to get it out, Jamie Moore stops trying and sits down. By now, Dan William probably knows that she is missing, but when will he find her?

It has been some time since she’s disappeared, so will he be able to find her or not. As soon as this idea pops up, she immediately puts it aside. Dan William will find her. He surely will.

Jamie Moore touches the “world” on her neck, and her heart immediately settles down, making her feel as if Dan William was right next to her. Jamie Moore then realizes that besides her necklace, her watch and handbag are both gone.

Maybe those people fear her having a tracking device on her. Since the necklace is hidden under her clothes and covered by a scarf, it was not found. She isn’t sure how long after exactly, but the door finally opens, and the brightness of a flashlight shines in her eyes, making her squint at the person.

The man only puts down the food he is holding before leaving again. Jamie Moore is slightly startled. Are these people so kind as to send her food? Is there any poison in it to kill her? Thinking about her current situation, Jamie Moore finds it impossible.

These people have locked her up, and can crush her as easily as they would an ant. There was no reason to poison her. Jamie shrugs her shoulders. Since it is dark, she doesn’t know the way to the

door. How can she find out where her food is?

Jamie Moore curls her mouth and yawns before putting down her hand in order to scoot backwards a bit so she was more comfortable. But then she touches something. Her eyes brighten as she sees that the thing she is holding up is in fact a piece of a candle, and her heart immediately surges.

Unable to wait, she stands up and takes the candle before holding one end close to the flame of the oil lamp. Soon after, the candle lights up the whole cabin. The feeling of being able to see in front of you is so different.

Fixing the candle to the platform, Jamie Moore looks around the cabin that wasn’t small or simple. It has a simple wooden bed with a white blanket and quilt, and some candles and other items that are scattered around.

Just now, she had fumbled for so long and had swiped everything past the edges of the bed. With a deep breath, Jamie Moore pushes down her nervousness and uneasiness before sitting down on the bed. As she sits down, the bed makes a severe creaking sound.

This quality…

Jamie Moore lets out a puff from the corners of her mouth, and stands up before sitting down again. It probably won’t take long before it makes another creaking sound. Fortunately, the bed sheet and quilt are clean, and not as old as the bed.

“She isn’t really at sea, right?” Jamie Moore says as she stands up and walks towards the board before putting her ear to it. As she listens, she can hear the sound of the sea beating against the board. Sometimes big, sometimes small, it makes her feel as if she was going to drown.

She had heard of deep sea phobia before, but going to the sea with Dan William had never scared her. But now, only listening to its sound was making her afraid. She immediately sits back down on the bed,

and lifts the quilt before covering herself with it so that the sounds are less clear.

She doesn’t know whether because of a psychological effect or another reason, but Jamie Moore can really feel the sound gradually decreasing.

A military green helicopter with the training camp logo is flying towards the sea. At the moment, the weather is not bad, which makes the flight go smoothly. Sitting in the back seat are Dan William and Bunny. In his lap, Dan William is holding a portable platform with an icon displayed on the computer screen that the helicopter uses to search.

“Daddy, if mommy has a tracking device on her, why did we spend so much time looking for her in the first place?” Bunny asks puzzled. With the locator, his mommy’s position could have been found in minutes. So why then…

Dan William chuckles as his slender fingers beat fast on the keyboard and the icon draws closer. “If it wasn’t like this, how would those people relax their vigilance?”

At first, the locator couldn’t find the position since there hadn’t been a signal. It had taken about half an hour for the locator to work again.

“Who are these people? Are they not the ones who kidnapped mommy?” Bunny asks curiously. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

It can’t be…this isn’t an accidental kidnapping, but a long standing plot?

“Do you already know what the answer is?” Dan William asks as he reaches out to ruffle Bunny’s hair. Instead of telling him directly, he reminds him to answer the question himself.

Does he already know the answer?

Bunny is now even more puzzled. He has always been with his father. Apart from the situation of mommy’s position, it could indicate that…

Coming to a sudden realization, Bunny’s grape like eyes sparkle. “Does daddy want to confuse Jack Moore’s line of sight?”

“Well.” Dan William faintly answers before slowly explaining. “For five years I’ve been sending people to watch the Moore family. Jack Moore seems like someone who is brave, with endless resources and ambition which he, as a matter of fact, is not. “He has a very important trump card, which is the main reason why the Moore family has not yet declared bankruptcy.”

No one knows what the trump card is. Maybe it's a person, maybe it's just a thing. No one except Jack Moore knows. Bunny purses his lips while thinking that he may know what that trump card is.
