My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul novel Chapter 1980

Skylar watched as Hadwin caught up to her. "Is there still something going on with your mom?"

It had been years since she had last seen Natalie, but the two of them had practically been together every day over the past few days.

Today's gathering included Natalie and a few other friends.

Hadwin hesitated before asking, "Mrs. Martin, did Vivian go abroad?"

From what he knew of her, it didn't make sense. Her parents had been missing for years and had just returned. There was no way she would suddenly choose to leave.

Besides, he had never heard her mention having close friends abroad. All her friends were either from college or the ones they had grown up with.

Skylar glanced at Joe. No surprise—Hadwin was Austin and Natalie's son. His observation skills were sharp.

Of course, many of their close friends had noticed something was off about Vivian's sudden absence. But because they trusted Skylar and Joe, they knew better than to ask questions.

"Yes, she went abroad," Joe said, picking up on Skylar's cue.

Skylar added, "She should be back in a while. But she also wants to travel and study abroad for a bit and see more of the world. She'll decide when she's ready."

"Studying abroad? So there's no telling when she'll come back? And is it really safe for her to be alone in another country?" Hadwin frowned.

The more he thought about it, the less sense it made. Even if Vivian insisted on leaving, she thought Skylar and Joe wouldn't have let her go so easily.

The whole thing felt off. Skylar and Joe had finally returned, yet somehow, Vivian had disappeared.

Joe's expression darkened slightly at the mention of safety. "She has people protecting her. There's no need to worry. It's late. You should head home."

"Let's go," Skylar said softly.

Hadwin still had many questions, but from the way Skylar and Joe looked, they weren't going to tell him the truth.

He needed to find out what really happened to Vivian.

Lost in thought, Hadwin got into his car.
