That’s why I didn’t want to think anything bad about him. But after Sierra’s incident, I couldn’t help it. Maybe the kindness and honesty were a façade?

“Do you know where exactly his business is located out there?” Warner’s cousin could find out more about him from the locals and people that associated with him in the past.

“Yeah, in Wales. I’ll send you the address.”

“What about his own family? Doesn’t he have a wife or kids?”

He shook his head. “No. He never married. I never heard anything about him having any children.”

A question off-topic raised in my head. “Do you know where Ace’s mom is? Or the reason behind his dad’s suicide?”

I would ask Ace myself all these questions about his past on our date, but after his revelation, I couldn’t think of anything else other than what he did seven years ago.

“The only thing I can tell you is she’s not here. And not really in touch with anyone. The rest you have to ask Ace himself. About his father committing suicide, I really don’t have any idea. He never told me. The only thing I know is things were never good between his parents.” He shrugged.

My heart tugged for him. It must have been really difficult for him to live in a place where he had to watch his parents fight everyday. Even I heard of them arguing sometimes during my visits to his place. And now he didn’t have his father beside him. His mother was alive, but still far from him. I wondered what was the reason she left him and Caleb behind?

I heaved a sigh. “All right, thank you, Tobi. I really needed some insight.” Though it wasn’t much, at least I got something about Arthur.

“I don’t know what you’re up to, but think twice before doing something rash. Achilles is quite close to his uncle, so be careful.” He stood, buttoning his coat. “Oh, before I forget, tomorrow is Tess’s rehearsal. You’re coming, right?”

I rubbed my neck. I decided not to attend, but then I couldn’t just miss an event that meant so much to her. Nor did I want my parents to be upset.

“I’ll be there. Don’t worry.”

He smiled. “Tess will be relieved. She’s been nagging me to convince you to come if you had decided otherwise. I’m glad you’re letting things go, Em. It’s for everyone’s good.”

I nodded. “I know. See you tomorrow.”

Placing a kiss on my forehead, he walked out of my office.

Letting out a sigh, I plopped on the chair he occupied seconds ago.
