Gemma knew best about what it was like to have her child taken away from her and left in someone else’s care.
Yvette took Noah to the washroom. After he entered the men’s washroom, she waited outside. After a while, a few tall men entered the washroom as well.
Zachary was in there, too. He looked at the time and figured that the middle-aged man should be gone by now. So, he came out of the stall, only to see three tall men in front of him. Before he could react, one of the men covered his mouth with a cloth soaked in alcohol. Zachary’s vision went dark, and he fainted before he could scream for help. The man took off his coat to wrap Zachary in it and carried him out.
Meanwhile, Noah was just done using the toilet. After he washed his hands and was about to come out, Tristan grabbed his hand. “Why did it take you an hour to use the washroom, you brat? I thought you were stuck in the toilet!”
When he spoke, he noticed the simple suspenders Noah was dressed in. He couldn’t help being curious. “Why have you changed your clothes? Where did you get something so childish?”
Noah looked back at Tristan, who looked silly and slightly drunk. “You got the wrong kid.”
Tristan was stunned. “What?”
“I’m Noah, not Zac.” Noah almost rolled his eyes at Tristan, thinking how the latter couldn’t even tell the difference between him and Zachary. After all, he thought he looked nothing like his brother. “Now, let go of my shirt. Otherwise, I’m going to start screaming,” he hurriedly added when he saw how Tristan wasn’t letting go yet.
Tristan took a closer look at him. Although Noah looked exactly like Zachary, he wasn’t as mature as the latter. Not only did Tristan not let go of Noah, but he even pinched the boy’s angry little face. “Where’s Zac?”
Noah hated it the most when someone touched his face, and he looked disgusted. “How should I know where he is? Don’t you know how to call him on your phone? Let go now, or I’m really going to scream.”
Tristan smiled as he realized that Noah was more interesting than Zachary. “I’m not going to let go. How are you going to call for help?”
“Mom!” Noah started yelling loudly.
When Yvette heard Noah’s voice coming from the washroom, she barged inside without thinking about it. “What’s wrong, Noah?”
“This bad man grabbed me again and won’t let go.” Noah looked at her aggrievedly.
Tristan’s hand froze as he grabbed Noah’s suspenders and looked at Yvette. Then, he started getting anxious. “I can explain, Yvette. I was just teasing him.”
She didn’t listen to his nonsense at all. Instead, she snatched Noah back from him and carried the boy out. Before they left the washroom, Noah even made a face at Tristan.
Tristan was speechless. Yvette
hadn’t liked him from the beginning, and now there was another misunderstanding between them However, he had more important matters at that moment, which was to find Zachary.
He didn’t have Zachary’s number, so he helplessly called Kiki to ask for it. After he got it, he called Zachary right away. The call went through at first. However, it stopped ringing soon after that. Tristan realized something was wrong, and he immediately became sober. Then, he quickly looked for the hotel’s manager, Winston Rogers, who met him right away. “Can I help you, Mr. Shaw?” “My son is missing. Show me the hotel’s surveillance footage now.”
“What?” Winston was shocked when
he heard that, and he quickly told security to show them the footage If something happened to the son of the Shaw family there, then this hotel would have to close soon.

Winston checked the footage with his men and began searching for Zachary based on Tristan’s description.
