When the dinner party was finally over, Vanessa was still rooted in her place and let the hall turn empty.
In a couple of minutes, only Vanessa and Caroline were present in the enormous hall, and she sighed.
Inhaling a deep breath, Vanessa stood up and turned around to go to the restroom, and Caroline caught up with her from behind as she was worried for Vanessa.
When Vanessa walked out, Austin eyed her leaving silhouette and his gaze turned cold, but his face was detached of any emotion, and he too strode out in his long steps.
Theo, who stood silently behind Austin, followed the gloomy man out, but didn't utter a word, too scared to say anything that would trigger Austin's anger!
But he was bewildered would be an understatement when he saw Vanessa standing in front of them all safe and sound, because he had scoured for her like crazy all these months, personally checking all the places they thought she could be present at, yet, he couldn't get a single clue of her whereabouts.
