Return With the Billionaire Baby Daddy-Chapter 136: did not find the perpetrator

After waiting for almost 30 minutes, Hannah finally saw Samuel coming, immediately noticing the police with astonishment.

"Mr. Weasley," greeted the police officer.

"Mr. Bratt," replied Samuel, then promptly sat next to Hannah. "Have you been here since earlier? Honestly, your presence surprised me," he asked with a faint smile.

"We came because we received a report from the police in Carson City, about an assault on Mr. Damian McCourtney. And they suspect that you were involved in that assault... We want to examine because your status is still that of a city detainee, and you have previously assaulted him as well," said the police officer named Brat t

"Someone attacked him, and then he accused me of being involved because I had assaulted him before. This is irrelevant because there is no evidence whatsoever," Samuel replied with his thin smile.

"We indeed do not have evidence yet, but your previous status as a detainee and involvement in the assault make his wife assume that you are involved."

"It’s simple, if you’re not involved, then you wouldn’t object to being examined," said another police officer.

Samuel sighed heavily. "Alright... Just do it."

"We need to confiscate your phone, and then search this house."

Samuel simply nodded, immediately handing his phone to the police, and they proceeded to search his house, even seizing Hannah’s phone.

"Are you involved?" Hannah asked, embracing Samuel.

"Do you think I want to go to jail again?" Samuel replied, turning the question back with a low voice while glancing at Hannah. "I wouldn’t do something as foolish as that, especially when I’m comfortable with my new life with you. I wouldn’t take any risks... Besides, I don’t want to deal with Damian again... I just want to focus on you."

"Thank goodness for that..." Hannah sighed in relief and rested her head on Samuel’s shoulder. ’But who else would want to attack Damian? He doesn’t have any other enemies besides Samuel? But could it be Karina’s doing because she infuriates him? But isn’t Karina happy with Tristan?’ she wondered, still doubting Samuel’s honesty.

Samuel stood up.

"I really can’t accept this, but I realize that my image is already very bad," he said. "And maybe you’ll be in danger now because perhaps Valerie and Damian already know that you’re the one who freed me, they will be very angry with you when they meet you," he continued with concern.

Hannah remained silent, now truly afraid to face Valerie again, but perhaps it wouldn’t happen if Samuel was innocent, so they wouldn’t have to meet again.

"I don’t need to meet them again," she said, standing up. "If you’re innocent, then you won’t go to jail again, and we won’t see them again," she continued.

Samuel just stayed silent, turning his face away, his gaze empty, his face looking worried as if he was scared.

"We didn’t find anything," said the police officer as they entered the living room again.

Samuel and Hannah immediately turned to them.

"Because I’m indeed innocent... Besides, why would I do that? I prefer freedom and peace now, especially since I always need to be there for my wife, who is even pregnant." Samuel showed a disappointed look.

"We understand that, but we still need to examine your phone... We’ll return it tomorrow or the day after once the examination is done." The police officer showed Hannah and Samuel’s phones, which were already stored in a clear plastic bag.

"You can do that."

"Alright then, we’ll leave now."

Samuel and Hannah escorted the police officers to the porch, then watched them walk away towards the street, as it seemed they had parked their car quite far from the house.

"Our phones are taken," Hannah sighed heavily. "Now what if I want to contact my family or just order food?"

"I can’t even communicate with my coworkers," Samuel said in frustration, then immediately entered the living room again. "I don’t want to think about this. I also don’t have money to buy a new phone," he continued, walking towards the kitchen.

Hannah followed Samuel until they reached the kitchen. She saw her husband searching for food on the pantry table but only found a few cookies.

"Aren’t you cooking?" Samuel asked.

Hannah shook her head. "We’ve run out of groceries, so I didn’t cook except for making these cookies."

"What?" Samuel smiled wryly.

"Maybe we can just buy some fries... It’s cheap."

Samuel fell silent, looking at Hannah seriously, as if pondering something.

"My money is running low because I used it to free you, for our wedding, then to rent this house... So I can’t shop much anymore unless we wait for your salary," he explained with a worried look.

"Alright..." Suddenly, Samuel smiled and approached Hannah. "You don’t need to worry. We’ll eat these cookies together, then I’ll go back to the office. After I’m done with work, I’ll go shopping for our needs..."

"But do you have any money?"

"I have a little, don’t worry..." Samuel hugged Hannah and then invited her to sit down on the chair and eat the cookies. ’It’s a shame you’re not reliable anymore, especially now I’m also not safe because sooner or later the police will know that I’m the one who instructed my friend to have the man harm Damian,’ he thought while glancing at Hannah eating the cookies.

....

Carson City...

After almost 1 hour of sleeping with Damian, Valerie woke up and saw Adriana coming with Eduardo. She immediately sat up and was about to get out of bed, but her sister stopped her.

"If you also want to rest, then you don’t need to get up," he said.

Valerie sighed heavily, lying back down while Damian sat up.

"It seems like the hormones from her pregnancy are starting to affect her, so she’s very weak," Damian said, stroking Valerie’s forehead. "She needs rest... Instead of staying here with me," he continued regretfully.

"You can go home with your sister, and I’ll stay with your husband," Eduardo said, looking formal in his black suit. "My business at the office is already finished, so I don’t need to go there anymore. I can sleep here."

"No..." Valerie shook her head. "I’ll stay here."

"Darling, you should just go home, besides, Daniel needs you... This is also a difficult time for him because he has to stop getting your breast milk... At least keep giving him attention," Damian pleaded.

"What your husband said is right... This is all for your good, you need enough rest... Take care of your pregnancy," Adriana said anxiously. "You’re really lucky to be pregnant again while for me to get pregnant for the first time is still very difficult..."

Valerie immediately looked at her sister with pity.

"Don’t ever give up... God will give you a baby," she said with concern.

"Yeah, I’ll just keep praying and trying."

"Come on, after this, you go home with me. Mom just called me. She and Dad will go to your house to help you take care of Daniel... They’ve heard about your pregnancy and your decision not to breastfeed anymore." Adriana tried to persuade her again.

Valerie remained silent, then glanced at Damian, as if truly unable to leave him even for a moment.

"You don’t need to worry, no one will hurt your husband again," Eduardo said.

"I’ll be fine, Honey..." Damian reassured.

"Okay... I’ll come home later," Valerie said wearily.

Eduardo smiled thinly, slightly amused to see Valerie being so affectionate towards Damian when she used to be so cold.

"By the way, is the assault case still being investigated?" Adriana asked.

"Yes, the police are still investigating. They’re still trying to find that man," Damian explained.

"And the police in Arizona have also started investigating Samuel," Valerie added.

"Samuel?" Adriana frowned. "Why are the police in Arizona investigating Samuel? Isn’t he in jail... in this city?"

"He’s been released," Valerie whispered. "And Hannah got him released... I don’t know why."

"That’s so stupid!" Adriana exclaimed. "What was she thinking? Didn’t you ask her why she did that?"

Valerie just shook her head.

"Let the police handle all this, I don’t want to stress about it. I need to get better soon so I can take care of my wife," Damian said, glancing at Valerie, who seemed increasingly weak and lifeless.

"Oh my God..." Adriana sighed. "This is just ridiculous..."
