The Last Novel

CHAPTER 10

Arabella looked from left to right. She needs to find someone, that person is the only one who can help her. She even had to lie to the children that she'll sleep early, but she snuck out and went to the office of the lawyers, it's located between the Maguire's mansion and the town of Kue where they sell their products and the town where they belong.

It's just seven o'clock in the evening, and Scarlet and Blaine were already asleep when she went out. Those kids got a lot of sermons from her because the two children can't keep their mouths shut and kept on arguing with each other. Although she felt conflicted because it's already dark, a woman walking alone at night surely invites danger, but she can't postpone it any more, she had already decided this two days ago, but she can't leave the children arguing and making a mess in the house. 

'This is my only chance, I should hurry and  go back home after this'

She's glad that it's just a fifteen minutes walk, and it'll only be five minutes if she had used their horse or perhaps run, but the horse is too old to use. Arabella likes animals, although in her past life she didn't even dare to adopt one, because she's always busy at work, she won't be able to take care of it properly. Arabella can't even look at the dying horse, much use it to carry her even if it's just a few minutes.

In the end, she chose to walk for fifteen minutes.

'Running back home is kind of fun, I'll do that later and maybe I'll stop by the river'

The moment she arrived, her eyes quickly saw the building where the person she's looking for works, she just realized how shabby their building is, but when she walked inside, she can clearly feel the intelligence radiating from each person she sees.

Arabella tapped her foot on the ground while scanning the inside of the building where lawyers use as their office.

'Man with glasses...the man with green hair...the man with green eyes- oh! found him!'

She quickly walked towards the man who matched the description she had been repeating over and over again inside her head. Arabella slowed down her pace when she's already two meters away from him. The man is taller than she expected, his height must be six feet and above. The reason why she slowed down is that he's talking with his secretary. This man doesn't like someone interrupting him when he's talking with someone. She knew because she's the one who made him like that in this novel.

The moment his secretary walks away, this became Arabella's go signal to approach him. The green-eyed man was about to go back to his office when felt that someone was looking at him. The green-eyed man turned his gaze to where Arabella is standing. He saw a strange woman who's looking at him with...pity?

'What a strange woman, hope it's not another psycho noblewoman who wants to divorce her cheating husband'

"Good evening madam, I'm Ruel Crowe. How may I help you?" he asked politely which made Arabella flinched. Arabella heaved a deep sigh before she took a few steps to be near him.

'Hope she won't break down and cry in this place'

"Good evening, may I ask if this child is registered in the commoner's files?" Arabella asked. 

The man's face looked so relieved when Arabella opened her mouth and asked him the purpose of her for coming here.

'This jerk's thoughts are leaking, how did he even become a lawyer?'

Arabella arched her eyebrows for a few seconds before she took out her quick sketch of a little girl with blonde hair and red eyes, these characteristics were the best to describe Scarlet.
