Forced Into Marriage: My Husband’s Too Mean novel Chapter 366

Lindsey was persistent in this, insisting that she heard her baby calling her “Mommy”, which was why she chased after the sound.

Soren heard the conversation between Zayn and Lindsey while he wiped Sieben’s oily fingers. He also glanced at Zayn in the meantime.

Receiving Soren’s look, Zayn nodded and no longer dwelled on this issue. He just coaxed Lindsey to eat a little more.

After dinner, Lindsey and Sieben played together. Lindsey really liked Sieben and looked at her dotingly like she was a child. Unlike others who looked at Sieben with pity, while Lindsey just accepted from the bottom of her heart that Sieben had turned into a child.

Zayn just felt like Lindsey was diverting her feelings. He was initially happy to see this situation, but now, he was a little uncertain.

Soren and Zayn went to the study. The person who investigated that photographer just happened to send Soren some information.

The message read, "The amusement park staff has never seen this photographer before. There’s no useful information at the moment, but he seems to be a fraud."

Zayn and Soren finished reading it and fell into silence.

Although they were not sure, it was likely that the person who was peeking from the bushes today was the amusement park photographer.

However, they were not sure who this person was and why he did so. The man obviously got close to Sieben, but he did not hurt her.

Listening to Louisa's description, the man did not ask Sieben to pose along the way. He just casually took a few candid pictures. Sometimes, when he saw that Sieben was bored, he would even comfort her and recommend her other fun things...

It did not seem like he had bad intentions. Rather, it seemed like he was just accompanying Sieben.

"How’s the investigation to Sieben’s background?" Zayn also felt that it was a little strange. This was the first time Sieben went out alone, yet she was already being watched.

Soren shook his head. “Sieben’s from ‘Shadow’. This is what Smith claimed, but no one can prove it. ‘Shadow’ members come and go without a trace and information about them is kept highly confidential in the Moeller family. Although Terence Moeller's father is no longer in power, he still has absolute control of the ‘Shadow’.

“Some rumors said that he already handed over the ‘Shadow’ to his second son in secret ten years ago. Although we don’t know the full story, we’re sure that over the years, ‘Shadow’ has become more treacherous. They’ll only take on cases from the wealthy and powerful, and most of the time, they’re at the Moeller family's service.”

In fact, there were a lot of rumors about the "Shadow". Soren had heard a lot about them before, but this was his first in-depth investigation on them. Once he checked, he found that this organization's secrets were far more than he imagined.

Zayn also knew about this and even asked Terence Moeller about it, but apparently, although Terence held the real power in the Moeller family, he knew very little about the “Shadow”.

This was probably a check and balance that Terence’s father implemented. Even if Terence looked to be in control of the Moeller family fortune, "Shadow" represented the hidden power behind the Moeller family. The reason Terence’s father did not give it all to him was probably to even the score so that Terence would not be able to call the shots.

According to Smith, Sieben had been trained by the "Shadow" since she was young, but eight years ago she suddenly disappeared and even took away the organization’s very important core secrets. In order to send Sieben away back then, those who were training with her in the same group got involved and eventually got eliminated.

Eight years ago, Sieben was not even 12 years old. No one knew how she escaped the Moeller family’s grasp. No one knew why her peers back then did everything to help her and why they were all eliminated.

Zayn also followed them. He watched as Lindsey looked several times in the direction Sieben and Soren left in. He reached out and pulled her into his arms, then said in a soft voice, "I made a doctor’s appointment for you. He'll come to the house tomorrow, okay?"

"What kind of doctor?" Lindsey tilted her head to look at Zayn.

Zayn did not want to hide it from her, nor did he tell her directly. “A doctor to determine your post-surgical condition. I’ll be with you, so don’t be scared.”

"Okay, I'm not scared." Lindsey showed a faint smile and reached out to hold Zayn's arm.

Soren was walking back to their villa with Sieben. After a few steps, Sieben said she was sleepy and asked Soren to carry her.

Soren had long been accustomed to it and treated her like his daughter. He had not taken care of girls, so usually, the maids would prepare Sieben’s outfits. Since he could not do a lot of other things, he was more accommodating to her in these small things.

After being carried, Sieben swung her legs and happily hummed an out-of-tune song.

Soren's feeling of raising a daughter grew stronger.

After walking a few steps, Soren remembered something and asked her, "Did you remember anything when you spent time with Lindsey today?"
