It was nighttime. Chapter 740 4/5

Sylvia made a bowl of noodles for dinner. After she was full, she squatted by a wall connected to the neighboring house and began listening attentively for any signs of movement from the other side.

Two hours later, she could faintly hear Isabel’s cheerful cries. It sounded like she was having a gaming session with Liam judging by the contents of the muffled shouts she could hear through the wall. After that, she walked away feeling content. Instead of going back to her bedroom, she went to the room where Isabel and Liam once stayed.

She lay on their bed, rested her head on their pillows, and covered herself with the quilt they once used. She shut her eyes and very quickly drifted off to sleep.

Meanwhile, a tall shadow stepped out of the yard in the neighboring house and walked past the gate connecting the two households.

He stepped through the yard and arrived in the living room, camouflaged by the darkness. Then, he walked to Sylvia’s bedroom unobstructed since there was nobody else in the house.

He opened the door and promptly switched on the lights, only to be greeted by an empty room and an empty bed. He frowned and headed to the dressing room, then to the bathroom to see if there was anybody home at all.
