Chapter 1400 - 1399: Locking in the Investigation Direction
After seeing Nia Mitchell off, Maxwell Peary returned to the ward.
"Annie, you now align the investigation direction of Nia’s biological mother with Leon Blackwood, check all the women around him of that age."
"Okay."
Annie immediately nodded. With the direction of the investigation clear, it seemed something could be found out soon.
As long as there is a breakthrough, Leon Blackwood wouldn’t be so mysterious.
......
Charles Northwood and Tara Jameson had dinner at home and were getting ready to return to Capital Town.
Before leaving, Tara’s mother pulled her into the room and said something unknown.
After a long wait, they finally came out. After Charles bid farewell to the two elders, he drove away with Tara.
"What did your mom say to you?"
Charles was quite curious.
Hearing Charles ask this, Tara’s face instantly turned red.
"I... nothing much."
She quickly refuted and then sat there, starting to feel a bit uneasy.
Seeing Tara’s reaction, Charles couldn’t help but find it amusing.
What could her mother have said to make Tara react like this?
"The more you act like this, the more curious I get."
Tara patted her flushed face, feeling the warmth on her cheeks.
"I’m not saying."
She simply replied and decided not to reveal anything regardless of how Charles pushed.
"Is there really anything we can’t say to each other?"
Hearing Charles say this, Tara decided to disclose a part of it.
"My mom just gave me 3,000 USD, saying that even though you have money, that’s your money."
Tara’s parents were both very humble, so this mindset and action were predictable.
It showed that, actually, they hadn’t fully accepted him, not wanting Tara to spend his money.
When it comes to spending money, it’s only a tangled mess when there’s a breakup.
So...
It’s quite obvious.
"What else did she say?"
Charles glanced at Tara; surely this couldn’t be the only reason for her to blush.
Hearing Charles ask this, Tara’s face, which had just cooled down, heated up again.
"Nothing else!"
Seeing Tara like this, Charles decided not to press her any further.
It’s fine if she doesn’t want to say anything.
Seeing he stopped asking, Tara finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Actually, just moments ago, her mother had pulled her into the room, reminding her that their relationship was not yet firmly established, so she should never rush into anything with him.
As a girl, she needed to love herself and know how to protect herself.
In case she accidentally got pregnant, the future would be uncertain.
Tara’s mom’s concerns were very valid, so Tara could only smile and nod in agreement.
Thinking about it made her face even redder, and she sat there uncomfortably.
"You’re in your third year now, and by tomorrow, you’ll graduate. I’ll also work hard to resolve things here within a year."
This was Charles’s promise.
Hearing his words, Tara smiled.
"Take it slow, don’t rush."
They’re both young and have plenty of time to do what they want.
So, they can afford to wait.
Soon, they returned to Capital Town.
Outwardly, Charles was still single, and so was Tara.
Their way of staying connected was through phone calls.
They almost had no chance to meet.
After Charles returned, he invited Nia Mitchell out for a meal.
