Unexpected Second Chance at Love [1]

CHAPTER 187: Empty

------

Morning slowly rise in the distance, bringing a little light into penthouse 1503.

Lu Tian laid asleep on his side. The space between his brows crease into three lines. He opened his eyes, not too slow or too fast.

Looking at his wife, his frown deepens. Sitting up, his eyes scanned the bedroom.

Where could she have gone? It's 5:30am, usually, he's up before her, but why is it the other way? Did she really runaway?

He couldn't help but think of the impossible. Last night, she had a strange expression when they watched the sun set and during dinner. Could she have left because she was pregnant? Did she think he didn't want the baby?

In a panic state, he pulled the comforter off of him, and check the balcony. Empty.

The bathroom.

Empty.

Closet room.

Empty.

Study room.

Empty.

Lu Tian checked every room in the penthouse only to find his wife not anywhere in sight. Looking at the wall clock, he pinch the space between his brows.

Turning to look at Inu, he narrow his eyes and walks toward the Samoyed.

"Where's my wife?"

Inu had long been awake. He was still in a daze about what his mommy told him last night. Hearing the evil peasant's voice, he looks up at the man.

"Woof."

'Hmmf.'

"..."

Lu Tian stare down at the Samoyed and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It was the fact that he had asked the dog a question and Inu answered him. Shaking his head, he looks to the kitchen counter and unknowingly to him, there was a piece of paper. Walking to the counter, he picks the note up.

'Tian, I'm flying out of Imperial for the day. Be home later. -Yue Ling'

Reading the note, Lu Tian sighs in relief and disappointment. He was relieved that she didn't runaway, but disappointed because he didn't get to kiss or hug her before going to work.

Looking back at the time, he sighs again. His flight leaves in three hour, since his wife isn't here, he mind as well get ready.

Thinking of his wife, his mood quickly turn into determination. He must persuade H International's CEO give him L'amour de ma vie.

------

City Z airport. People crowd the airport as some waiting to board their flight, while others just landed.

Stepping out from one of the gates was a tall and slender figure dressed in all black.

She wore a black wool coat over her black turtleneck and black slacks. Covering her feet was a pair of black Manolo Blahnik heels as her Chanel bag draped down from her shoulder.

Even with her sunglasses on, anyone can see that she is a beautiful woman. Her long black hair flowed down her back gracefully.

"That looks like Han Yue Ling.."

A woman sitting down from the side whispers to her husband. They were waiting to board the plane, but when she saw this tall woman, she couldn't help but feel, she looked like the famous supermodel known in Asia. Especially in Korea.

The woman's husband looks at the woman his wife pointed out. Sizing the woman up, he pursed his lip.

"She does look like her, but I don't think Han Yue Ling would fly with a regular airline. Even if she did, wouldn't there be bodyguards with her?"
