Secretly Married for 4 Years, He Regrets to Tears After the Divorce-Chapter 204: Wife, You’re a Bit Silly

"I saw the surroundings in my dream. I still remember them perfectly, so I’d be able to quickly identify the cabin where Adrian is being held."

The moment Wren Sutton finished speaking, objections came from all sides.

Claire Sterling was the first to take her hand.

"Wren, you can’t go.

First, it hasn’t even been two months since you gave birth. Your body hasn’t fully recovered, so how can you go on a dangerous mission with the search and rescue team?

Second, if you go, what about the two children? It’s true our family has no shortage of nannies or childcare specialists, but you’re their mother. Without you around, they won’t be happy. Can you bear to have your babies crying their hearts out every day?

Third, the search and rescue team is composed entirely of men. It would be inconvenient in many ways for a woman to tag along."

Ms. Sterling’s points were logical and well-reasoned, and Wren understood her mother-in-law’s good intentions. "But—"

Lucia Lancaster, who always had her sister-in-law’s back, spoke up against her this time, cutting Wren off.

"Wren, Mom’s right. You can’t go. The conditions in a tropical rainforest are brutal—there’s miasma, wild animals, and so many unknown dangers. If anything happened to you, we’d never be able to face my brother. He would lose his mind."

Julian Lancaster also tried to persuade her. "Wren, I know you’re worried about my brother and want to see him as soon as possible, but you can’t be reckless with your health. We can’t let anything happen to you. Otherwise, what would happen to your two children?"

Wren Sutton stood silently in her spot.

Everything they said was reasonable and came from a place of concern for her.

She knew her family was just worried about her. After calming down to think, she realized that staying in Aston and waiting for news at home was the most sensible option.

But an unquenchable fire burned within Wren, and in its scorching flames, all she could see was Adrian Lancaster’s silhouette.

Beyond that, she felt a powerful premonition—a sense that Adrian was in that place, calling out to her over and over, hoping she would appear.

Theodore Lancaster approached with a steady gait, his expression kind.

"Wren, I understand how you feel. I promise you, I will bring Adrian back."

"How about this: give me a piece of your jewelry or some other small belonging. The moment I see Adrian, I’ll give it to him. You two are deeply connected, your hearts in sync. It will be as if he’s seeing you in that very instant."

"That’s a great idea." Everyone present nodded in agreement.

Wren thought it was a good idea as well, so she agreed.

Lucia Lancaster went with her to her room to get the item. It was a peace charm she had specially visited a temple to get for Adrian.

Wren Sutton gave the peace charm to her father-in-law, Theodore Lancaster.

"May it keep everyone on the search and rescue team safe. We’ll be waiting at home for your good news."

...

With all the equipment and supplies ready, the Lancaster family dispatched six private jets early the next morning. The Lancasters watched as the search and rescue team departed from Aston, flying toward the Southern Hemisphere.

Wren Sutton waved goodbye, silently praying for every member of the search and rescue team.

A moment later, Claire Sterling spoke gently. "The morning air is a little chilly. Let’s go inside."

Wren murmured in agreement and followed Ms. Sterling back inside.

"I’m going to Serenity Temple in a little while. You stay home and get some proper rest. Don’t exhaust yourself with worry."

"Okay."

After Claire Sterling left, Wren Sutton went to the study.

Theodore Lancaster had told her before he left that she was free to come and go from his study as she pleased.

Wren Sutton stood before a massive electronic map. On the screen, a red dot moved at a steady pace toward the vast tropical rainforest in the Southern Hemisphere.

The system was connected to the tracking devices carried by each member of the search and rescue team, allowing her to monitor their movements at all times.

Although she hadn’t left with the search and rescue team, her heart was with them every step of the way.

’Adrian Lancaster, I hope you can make it back safely.’

The morning bells of Serenity Temple had just rung, and there were not yet many worshippers.

Abbot Kaelan had been waiting in front of the temple for some time. Upon seeing Claire Sterling, who was dressed in simple clothes, he placed his palms together and bowed in greeting.

"Mrs. Lancaster, if your heart is sincere, your prayers will be heard."

Claire Sterling gave a slight nod and walked toward The Grand Hall of Heroes with a reverent heart.

The towering, golden Buddha statue looked down upon the mortal world, its gaze filled with compassion.

Claire Sterling accepted the three sticks of incense from a monk and knelt on a prayer mat.

The incense smoke curled upward, blurring her face, which was etched with worry.

Claire Sterling closed her eyes, praying in her heart for the search and rescue team to find Adrian Lancaster and bring him back safely.

"I pray to the Buddha to protect my son, Adrian Lancaster."

She knelt in devout prayer for a long time, until a sharp pain shot through her knees and her legs went completely numb. Only then did she allow the butler to help her slowly rise.

...

After a full twenty-five-hour flight, the search and rescue team finally arrived at a city in the Southern Hemisphere.

They were about a hundred kilometers from the tropical rainforest.

Sean Sterling had booked a hotel in advance. Everyone was exhausted. They didn’t even bother with the jet lag, simply going to their rooms and collapsing into bed.

They needed to rest and conserve their strength tonight. The official search would begin tomorrow, and after that, they would be sleeping in tents out in the wilderness.

Before going to sleep, Sean Sterling texted Isla Griffith to let her know he had arrived safely.

"Babe, we’ve arrived in XXX City and checked into the hotel."

Isla replied instantly.

"Okay, rest up. You must be exhausted after flying for over twenty hours."

Sean was indeed exhausted—he could barely keep his eyes open—but he still wanted to chat a little longer with his girlfriend.

"I can’t sleep without you here."

Isla: "None of that now. Go to sleep."

Sean: "I miss you."

Isla: "If you miss me, then go to sleep. I’ll see you in your dreams."

Sean took the bait, a smile playing on his lips. "Okay. See you in my dreams."

A moment later, Isla’s reply finally came.

"I’ll be waiting for you to come back."

Sean: "We’ll get married when I’m back."

Isla didn’t reply.

Sean put down his phone. With her words on his mind, he quickly fell into a dream about her.

In his dream, Isla Griffith was wearing a pristine white wedding dress, walking toward him one step at a time.

Sean slid the wedding ring onto her finger himself, then pulled her into his arms and kissed her. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"Babe, you’re a little slow, aren’t you? You still haven’t remembered who I am. I can’t resist telling you any longer."
