Rowan lowered his head and thought a moment, then he chimed in, “Forget about her name for now. I’ll share her mobile number with you. It’s better if you meet her directly. That way, everything will make sense”
He was aware that his mother’s real name was Celia Durban. However, his mother had asked the three of them to keep her true identity hidden before returning to this country.
Alana was just a fake name. Even if they spilt the beans, Shane wouldn’t recognise her name.
The best way was to let them meet in person. Even with her mom masked up, once they made eye contact, they’d figure things out.
“Sure. What’s her number?” Shane pulled out his phone; his right hand was a bit shaking
Meanwhile, Alana paced back and forth in the police station’s corridor, anxiously waiting for updates.
Time dragged on painfully; each second feeling like an eternity,
Tears filled her eyes. Where are you, Rowan? I hope you are safe
A cop suddenly stepped out of the office and called to her, “Ms. Walters, Captain Hanson wants to see you”
“Alright.” Alana swiped her tears and hurried inside.
Ethan sat next to the computer, and he motioned to the paused screen, asking, “Ms. Walters, is this your
Alana leaned in, locking her gaze. “Yes, that’s Rowan, Where did he get out of the car?”
“He got off at Elite Group Tower’s entrance. Surveillance on the road shows he went in and hasn’t left yet. As Ethan said, he clicked on the video and played it backwards.
Elite Group Tower? That’s Shane’s office. Why is Riwan guing there!
“Ms. Walters, since you’ve verified the kid, let’s go get him,” Ethan said, standing up and putting on his hat.
“Alright. Thanks, Captain Hanson!”
As soon as Alana finished speaking, her phone rang.
When she took out her phone, she recognised an unfamiliar yet strangely familiar number and answered promptly, “Hello?
Who’s this?
After a brief silence, she heard Shane’s voice, “Hello, are you Rowan’s mom? He’s now with me in the CEO’s office at Elite Group Tower.
Alana trembled at his voice. “Okay, I’ll be there soon.
“Has someone contacted you?” Ethan asked cautiously as Alana hung up.
“Yeah.”
“From who?”
“They just gave me Elite C
Group Tower’s address. Rowan was at the CEO’s office now.”
“Mr. Channing?” Ethan’s doubt showed on his handsome face. Then, let’s go!”
Thirty minutes later, Ethan led Alana and two officers entered Elite Group Tower.
After verifying her ID, the receptionist made another call to Jim to ask how to deal with them.
Jim stated the kid came willingly to find someone and that wasn’t a police issue.

He also said that the child was very safe and that only the child’s mother was allowed to go up,
Knowing Shane’s personality. Ethan waited with the officers in the lobby as the receptionist led Alana to the elevator.
When the president’s office door opened. Alana searched the room and noticed Rowan was sleeping soundly on the sofa.
She was finally relaxed.
Alana’s heart raced when she met Shane ved gaze. However, she kept her composure and said. “Thanks, Mr. Channing
for taking care of him. He’s too young to understand anything. Sorry if he is bothering you.”
Shane stayed silent, still studying her as if trying to figure her out.
Alana felt guilty. She lowered her head to avoid his gaze, then walked towards the child.
“Rowan, wake up.”
