She Got A Better Man

Yes, Elvira, if you need something done, let him handle it. You shouldn't be doing anything yourself. Right now, your health is the most important," Skylar immediately agreed.

"Elvira, are you hungry? I had Anna bring you some luxurious collagen broth tr's in the car, and we can

get in." Tracy eagerly added, always wanting to take care of Elvira

"Tracy, now that you mention it, I am feeling a bit hungry. It seems like I've been getting hungry faster lately: Elvira responded with a smile, not wanting to disappoint the older woman. She knew Tracy was just looking out for her. "Zach, from now on, you need to keep some snacks around for Elvira. Pregnant women get hungry easily, you know? And they get sleepy too, so make sure you pay attention to that, Tracy continued, clearly worried about her. "Elvira, maybe you should take a break from work for a while. You have so many people under you that you can't let them just collect a paycheck without doing anything. Let them handle it. Tracy suggested, not wanting Elvira to work too hard. "Tracy, I've already been cutting back on my workload. I'll take it one step at a time. Elvira reassured her, signaling that she could manage.

"What do you want to eat? I'll bring more next time," Zach said, suddenly thinking about how he could better care for her. He realized he might need a bag. He'd never liked carrying one before, but now he was going to get one just to carry food for Elvira. "Don't make things harder, please." Elvira teased, feeling like she was becoming a rare endangered species in their eyes.

Samantha looked at how the Gilbert family fussed over Elvira and couldn't help but feel happy for her. She could tell that the Gilbert family members truly cared about Elvira.

No matter what they said, Elvira just agreed. She'd always lacked the warmth of family growing up, and she was soaking up the feeling of being pampered and adored.

Once they got in the car, Elvira began eating the luxurious collagen broth. Zach fed her himself, and though Elvira thought it was a bit over the top, Skylar and Tracy didn't find it strange at all.

In fact, they looked at him with a proud, approving gaze, as if he did a good job.

Elvira wanted to eat on her own, but the three of them insisted she didn't, and she finally gave in, eating the whole portion with them hovering around her.

Just as they were heading home, Zach received a phone call. After listening to the news, he glanced at the three women in the car, keeping his emotions in check as he said, "I need to deal with something urgent. You three go ahead and wait for me at home." "What's more important than your wife?" Tracy asked, clearly frustrated. They had just left the hospital. She didn't believe there was something so urgent that he needed to leave right now.novelbin

"Tracy, Zach must have an important matter to deal with. Let him go. With you and Skylar here, I will be just fine," Elvira said sweetly, holding Tracy's hand.

Seeing Elvira act this way, Tracy decided not to argue. She gently held onto Elvira's hand, not wanting to let go, her eyes glancing at her growing belly with a shining, affectionate gaze. Once Zach got out of the car, he immediately rushed to Alice's daycare. He had just received a call from his bodyguard, informing him that Alice had gone missing.

Afraid that Tracy and Skylar were worried, Zach kept his composure and knew he had to find Alice quickly.

Spike was already reviewing surveillance footage and looking for suspicious individuals. By the time Zach arrived, they had gathered some information.

It turned out that earlier that day, a delivery truck came to drop off supplies. The driver wasn't the usual one. He had claimed that the regular driver was sick and he was filling in for a few days. After the truck left, Alice disappeared. It seemed clear that this new driver was responsible for taking her.

The truck was a plain white cargo van. The driver must have intentionally avoided the cameras so after the truck left the vicinity of the daycare, it vanished from sight.

Zach immediately contacted the police for assistance and had all of his men dispatched to help with the search.

Back at home, Elvira sensed something was wrong after Zach left. She hadn't wanted to worry Tracy or Skylar, so she had played along with the situation.

Once they were home, Elvira claimed to be tired and went to her room. As soon as she was alone, she immediately called Leonard.

Leonard answered the call; and Elvira got straight to the point. "What happened? Why did Zach leave in such a hurry?" There was a brief silence on the other end before Leonard replied, "Alice has been kidnapped."

Elvira's hand trembled so hard she nearly dropped her phone. She took several deep breaths to calm herself and said, "It must be Judy."

Elvira blamed herself for being too careless. Despite the security detail around her and Alice's added protection, she hadn't been vigilant enough. During such a critical time, she should have kept Alice at home instead of sending her to preschool. But regrets were useless now. What mattered was finding Alice and bringing her back.

"It might not be Judy," Knowing she was pregnant, Leonard said, trying to ease her burden. "The Gilbert family is wealthy and influential, and they've certainly made enemies. There are plenty of people who could take advantage of this situation to stir up trouble." "Can you find Alice? If you can, I'll give you two million dollars, no, 20 million dollars. Please, help me find her!" Elvira's voice wavered, her desperation evident.

Alice was so small, so fragile. Whoever had taken her couldn't possibly have good intentions. Elvira was concerned if such a young child could endure this.

"Don't worry. I've already sent people to look for her. I'll let you know as soon as I hear anything." Leonard assured her.

But Elvira couldn't stay calm. She pushed open her door and made an excuse to leave the Gilbert mansion. "I can't sleep here. I think I'd feel better sleeping at home."

Tracy looked puzzled. "You've stayed here before without a problem. What's changed? Is it because of the bed? I'll have someone replace it right away."

"Tracy, it's probably just the pregnancy. I'll sleep better at home, and I'll come see you again tomorrow," Elvira explained hastily before leaving in a rush. Skylar wanted to accompany her, but Elvira insisted on going aloné.

Once outside, Elvira called Cole. He already knew about her pregnancy and immediately asked how she was feeling. "Don't worry about the company," he said. "I've got everything under control."

But Elvira wasn't thinking about business. "Cole, help me find Alice," she blurted out. Nothing else mattered to her now, only Alice's safety.

Cole paused for a moment, then realized Elvira already knew about him. Understanding what was at stake, he agreed. "Okay,

I'll help you find her.

"Thank you, Cole," Elvira said, her voice trembling. Despite her Best efforts to hold it together, she broke down and started sobbing.

She couldn't suppress her guilt any longer. Alice's disappearance was her fault. She was sure Judy was behind it.

"Don't cry. You can't be too emotional when you're pregnant. You have to be careful too." Cole reminded her worriedly.

"I know." After Elvira hung up the phone, she tried to call Judy's previous phone number. Elvira thought that if Judy kidnapped Alice, her ultimate goal would definitely be Elvira.
