COLD

Chapter 23 Sophia's plan to get the ring.

Reagan and the old lady both talked for a while. Reagan stood up and was about to go to his room when he suddenly saw doll head sticking out of the chair.

He pulled it out and looked at the old lady. "Did any child come into the house?" Reagan asked.

" Give it to me, it must be for my great granddaughter, she forgot it when she came to visit earlier." The old lady said as she stretched out her hand and took it from Reagan. Just in one day, she had gotten used to calling Isabella her great granddaughter.

Reagan frowned and looked at the old lady. "What great grandchild, do you have another grandson that I don't know about?"

The old lady laughed. "She's like a great grandchild to me, her mum brought her to visit me today. Reagan, I don't know why but the little girl looks alot like you."

Reagan brows furrowed. "What do you mean, there are many people who look alike in this world."

The old lady sighed. Maybe she should stop imagining things. "Ok, I won't say it anymore, have a good night rest." She also stood up from her chair and walked towards her room.

Reagan watched her enter her room. He was lost in thoughts for some minutes but later walked into his room.

The taxi parked along the street. Stella paid the driver and carried the sleeping Isabella on her shoulder before walking up the stairs into the apartment.

Isabella rubber her eyes and slowly opened them. "Mummy are we home yet?" She asked.

" Yes we are home." Stella replied then placed her on her bed.
" Mummy, where's my doll?" Isabella asked as Stella took off her shoes.

Stella looked around but didn't see the doll. "Where did you drop it?"

" I remember dropping it on the couch when I wanted to eat the animal shaped cookies at great grandma's house." Isabella replied.

" We will get it when next we go and visit ok, I'll buy you another one tomorrow."

" Ok mummy."

The next day.

Amy prepared for work and ate breakfast at the same time. She sent her email one week ago and it was replied yesterday, saying she was to start work today.

Looking at the time, Amy picked up her phone and her bag before walking out of her newly bought apartment. She entered her car and drove out into the road, heading to Brighton co-operation.

When she arrived, she was directed to someone who showed her around and told her the dos and don'ts of the company before explaining some work matters to her.

Amy sat in her office and looked at the computer screen in front of her. She finally got employed. She turned on the computer and started her work.

Adriana couldn't sleep throughout the night. She went to look for her mum but was told by the maids that her mother was having her afternoon sleep.

She could only walk back to her room and wait for time to pass. Hours later, her door was knocked on and pushed open from the outside.

Janelle walked into her room and closed the door behind her before walking to meet Adriana.

" Daughter, what's wrong, the maids said you were looking for me." Janelle said as she sat beside Adriana.

Adriana held Janelle's hand. "Mum, it's about Reagan. I overheard him and his grandmother's conversation yesterday after we ate dinner."

" Go on, what did they say?" Janelle asked curiously.
