Chapter 52 Where’s Eliza?
Seeing Eliza didn’t continue to ask, Nolan slowly fell asleep.
The next day, at Westbrook High School.
During the PE class in the morning, Henry and Colton got together and started talking, “Do you know where Nolan went last night? Why is there no news at all? He even took a leave.”
I don’t know,” Colton answered. “Sick, perhaps.”
Henry frowned. “If Nolan is sick, then what about Eliza? Sick too? They’re both absent!”
Not far away, Zayden, who was keeping the volleyballs, was stunned as well. Eliza and Nolan are both absent?
Zayden remembered that Eliza was still fine last night.
Colton said casually, “Who knows? Maybe she was infected?”
Zayden, what’s wrong?” Nearby, Naomi inched toward Zayden and said, “The PE teacher asked you to send the items.”
Zayden frowned. “Naomi, do me a favor and help me. I have something to handle.
“Zayden!”
Naomi couldn’t stop Zayden–he had already rushed toward the female dorms.
“Do you think Eliza’s really sick with a fever? Otherwise, why is she absent?”
Henry and Colton’s conversation reached Naomi. She also noticed that both Eliza and Nolan were absent. Did Zayden go to look for Eliza
The thought made Naomi clench her fists. Eliza, you snake. Saying you don’t like Zayden, but secretly scheming to seduce him behind everyone’s back!
Meanwhile, Zayden had already arrived at the entrance of the girls‘ dorm.
The dorm matron was just about to start cleaning when Zayden stepped forward and asked, “Ma’am, I’m looking for Eliza. Is she sick?”
“Eliza” The middle–aged lady thought for a moment. “I think she wasn’t around during last night’s room check. Maybe she went home?”
“She wasn’t there? She didn’t come back all night?”
Zayden looked anxious. The dorm matron said, “I remember she mentioned last night that she had something to do and would be back late. Then she asked your teacher for leave. Your teacher already called me this morning. Apparently, she does have a fever, but she’s not in the dorm.”
Zayden’s heart sank. He had seen Eliza leaving the Rivers family yesterday–there was no way she went back there. Which meant she spent the night somewhere else! The thought made him uncomfortable, and he rushed out of the girls‘ dorm
On the other side, Henry and Colton were packing up equipment when Zayden ran straight toward them. “You!”
Henry frowned. “What do you want?”
Where did Nolan take Eliza?” Zayden’s voice was cold.
People nearby overheard Zayden’s question and turned to watch.
Henry found it amusing. He placed the equipment on the ground and looked Zayden. “What does it have to do with you where Nolan and Eliza went? You talk like Nolan kidnapped her or something”
“Didn’t he?* Zayden’s face darkened. “Eliza never came back to the dorm last night! And now both Nolan and Eliza are on leave today–if Nolan didn’t take her, then who? If he did anything to her, I swear I won’t let him off!”

“Zayden!”

Naomi, who had just returned from dropping off the equipment, saw the scene and immediately rushed over to Zayden in at panic. “Zayden, I’ve been looking all over for you! What are you doing here? Let’s just go back to class.”
Class 6 wasn’t a group to mess with, and Naomi didn’t want Zayden getting involved with this crowd of delinquents.
“Naomi, Nolan took Eliza away! No one even knows where they are right now!”
Naomi froze at his words. Eliza and Nolan are together? Did Eliza give up on Zaydden because she latched onto Nolan?
“Watch your mouth! Henry exploded, jabbing a finger in Zayden’s face. “What do you mean ‘took her away?”
Naomi quickly jumped in as she was trying to smooth things over with a soft tone. “Yeah, Zayden, we’re all practically adults now. Maybe it wasn’t him taking her away, maybe they both wanted it. No need to dig into it too deep.”
But her words instantly made people misunderstand, and everyone around began catching on to the implication. Eliza went off with Nolan willingly
Henry’s expression turned What the hell do you mean by that? Explain yourself Don’t go spreading rumors withour
proof!
dark.
“Didn’t you mean that? Also, why did sister and Nolan both take leave so coincidentally? Maybe, they are already together, like me and Zayden.”
Then, Naomi hooked her arms around Zayden’s. “Zayden, am I right?”
Zayden’s face darkened at Naomi’s words. Then, he pulled his hand away from hers.
