The plane landed slowly after six hours.
When Geraldine walked out of the airport, she was picked up by
Rebecca.
Looking at the graceful woman in front of her, Geraldine smiled and went up to greet her.
“Are you… Ms. Bennett?”
Rebecca nodded with a smile: “Ms. Stanton, hello.”
“I’m Rebecca.”

The two exchanged smiles, quickly left the airport, and got into the
car.
On the way, Geraldine gained a more thorough understanding of this secret closed training.
“We’ve watched many of your dance videos and truly admire your talent and abilities. This closed training will last for half a year, completely cutting off contact with the outside world. If anyone asks, our reason will be…”
Rebecca hesitated, as if she was about to say something but stopped.
“Just say I’m dead,” Geraldine said softly, her red lips parting.

If she hadn’t been rescued by the fishermen, she would indeed have
been dead.
Rebecca gave a bitter smile: “That was indeed the plan, but as long as you make it through, your life will have even more value.”
Geraldine curled her lips: “Don’t worry, since I’ve already agreed, I will do my best.”
As the vehicle gradually entered the secret base, Geraldine lowered her gaze, taking in the scenery around her.
This time, she could finally be completely free.
During the following ten days, Oliver stayed with Shanice and Estelle, experiencing the happiness of family life for a long time.
At the dining table, Oliver put down his fork and looked at the two people in front of him.
“Since we’re all here, I want to tell you something. I’m planning to go on a business trip for a while.”
What he called a business trip actually meant he was going back to Geraldine.
This was never stated outright, but everyone understood.
Shanice paused with her chopsticks, exchanging a glance with her daughter beside her.
Estelle put down her fork with a pitiful expression and reached out her

small hand to hold Oliver’s.
“Daddy, can’t you stay with us a little longer? Essie was really scared before, and I’m still not better yet.”
Her eyes were bright and watery, making it truly hard to refuse.
In the past, Oliver would have felt happy and tried every way to find an excuse in front of Geraldine to spend more time with them.
But now, he frowned, feeling a bit resistant.
No matter what he was doing, he subconsciously thought of Geraldine.
He couldn’t deny it–he missed her.
Seeing this, Shanice stopped Estelle, who was about to act spoiled again.
“Daddy is busy with work, Essie. Be good.”
She forced a smile on her face, but her eyes were full of calculation.
- Oliver smiled and kissed her forehead, his gaze full of affection.
“Having such an understanding wife by my side is my good fortune.”
Shanice playfully pushed him: “The child is still here!”
Estelle covered her mouth and giggled on the side, her happiness blooming.
“Daddy and Mommy are super happy together!”

“If only Daddy could always stay with us.”
Oliver ate in silence, saying nothing.
After dinner, when they returned to the room, Shanice packed his things while reminding him of things to pay attention to.
Suddenly, she heard Oliver’s low voice: “From now on, don’t talk to the child about anything related to ‘forever.‘ Children don’t understand, and I think you should know that, right?”
Shanice’s hands stopped as she packed, and she looked up with a strange expression.
Meeting his warning gaze, she gave a bitter smile: “How could I forget what you said? It’s just that sometimes, children’s thoughts aren’t something adults can control.”
“I’ll talk to her.”
“That’s good.”
The man withdrew his thoughts, deliberately took out his phone, and ‘looked at the messages he had sent to Geraldine.
“Geraldine, the way you are now feels so unfamiliar to me. Let’s both calm down for a while.”
“The child has been found. This can’t happen again.”
“Gerrie, if you’re willing to apologize to Essie in person, this matter will be over.”
“Gerrie, where are you? I’m coming home today, let’s talk.”

After more than ten days, there was still no reply.
At first, he thought Geraldine felt guilty and didn’t know how to face
him.
But after so many days, there was still no news.
“Ollie, what’s wrong?” Shanice leaned over with concern, naturally seeing the content on his phone screen.
“Geraldine… still hasn’t replied to you?”
Oliver’s face darkened, his voice cold and mocking: “Looks like she knows she’s wrong and doesn’t dare to reply to me. But this time, things can’t just end like this. She owes me an explanation.”
Although he said this, he felt uneasy inside.
At eight in the evening, Oliver drove home.
Seeing the room almost half empty, his face was filled with shock.
Only after searching everywhere did he realize…
Everything belonging to Geraldine was gone!
But among all those things, only the ones he had given her were neatly left behind.
Looking at the suddenly empty room, Oliver’s breathing grew rapid.
Angrily, he took out his phone and dialed Geraldine’s number.
He thought the call wouldn’t be answered, but unexpectedly, after

dozens of seconds, someone picked up.
Oliver’s voice was low: “Gerrie, it’s one thing not to reply to my messages, but you moved out everything from the house. I haven’t even argued with you yet–why are you so angry this time?”
In the past, no matter what conflicts they had, the two of them always solved problems calmly.
Even after so many years together, they had never talked about separating.
But this time, Geraldine had gone too far.
