I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Azure couldn't trust Terrence to be alone. To her, Terrence seemed mentally unstable at this moment. Azure said, "You said you saw Meredith. I'll go with you, and we'll find her together."

Terrence was eager to find Meredith and didn't say much more to Azure. They took Little Lucky and went to the traffic police station. Terrence was convinced he had seen his wife, who had been missing for over half a year. Given the high- profile nature of the case and Terrence's social background, the traffic police quickly pulled up the surveillance footage of the area.

Terrence's eyes were fixed on the screen. When the footage showed a man and a woman riding away on a motorcycle, he became extremely excited. "Pause, zoom in," he said.

The video was paused and zoomed in, allowing Terrence to see the people clearly. Azure also saw it and was shocked. "It's really Meredith; she's alive."

Terrence's eyes reddened as he stared at the screen. His long-suppressed emotions finally burst forth, and he cried with joy. "Meredith is alive; it's her." He turned to the police officers. "Please check the owner of that motorcycle and find my wife."

Finding the motorcycle owner would quickly lead them to Meredith. This was part of the police's duty, so they immediately began their investigation.

Terrence couldn't wait for even a moment, but it was already late at night. The police station only had staff on duty, making it time-consuming to check with the traffic police department. The officers advised Terrence to go home and wait for news, but he refused to leave and was eventually placed in a waiting room.

Azure held Little Lucky, who had fallen asleep. She glanced at her child and then at Meredith in the surveillance footage, feeling puzzled. If it was really Meredith, why hadn't she come home after being missing for so long? It didn't make sense for Meredith to abandon her daughter and Terrence.

Azure wanted to voice her doubts to Terrence but couldn't bring herself to do it seeing how emotional he was.

After a long wait, the police found information about the motorcycle owner, but it didn't match the young man driving it in the footage. The bike must have been borrowed. Given how late it was, the police suggested they continue their investigation tomorrow; they couldn't just wake someone up in the middle of the night without cause.

Azure persuaded Terrence, "We've already found something; we just need to check it out tomorrow. We've waited over half a year; a few more hours won't matter. If that really is Meredith, she might not even recognize you in your current state."

Her words reminded Terrence that his hair had turned completely white and might scare Meredith. "Alright, let's go back to the hotel," he said dazedly.

However, after dropping off Azure and Little Lucky at the hotel, Terrence went to a barbershop instead. He wanted to dye his hair black again.

The shop owner was about to close up when Terrence walked in. "Handsome guy, can you come back tomorrow? It's late, and dyeing hair takes one or two hours."

Terrence pulled out his wallet and handed over ten thousand dollars.

The shop owner was stunned by the money. "Can we start now?" Terrence asked.

Turning down that much money would be foolish; normally dyeing hair costs only three or four hundred dollars. This job was worth ten thousand dollars-definitely worth doing.

The shop owner immediately smiled warmly. "This way, sir; I'll wash your hair first. What color would you like?"

In a wealthy man's world, money does all the talking-no need for extra words.

Terrence washed his hair and sat before a mirror, looking at his white hair. Seeing himself like this would definitely scare Meredith. His appearance hadn't changed much otherwise; it was just that his white hair made him look older. After discussing the color with the barber, they began dyeing his hair.

The next day.

Terrence dressed sharply in a suit. Azure knocked on his door with Little Lucky in tow. When she saw him open the door, she paused for a moment.

Dressed in a suit with his hair dyed back to black, Azure felt like she was seeing the old Terrence again.

It turned out that only Meredith could truly heal Terrence.

Terrence spoke solemnly, "Please take care of Rowan today; I'm going to see Meredith."

His tone couldn't hide his joy-the joy and anticipation of meeting his beloved.

Little Lucky looked at her handsome father and reached out her hands. "Daddy, hug."
