Although Ralph Koch told Chloe Grant that he had stolen the child.
But...
For the past two years, Isabella Gray had cared for him like a son. Ralph Koch had been an orphan since childhood, secretly trained, and now the ruler of the dark world in Country Y, never having enjoyed the softness of familial affection, which he felt through Isabella Gray.

When he took Cloudy away, he had already informed Isabella Gray.
So, the child can't really be considered "missing," yet Matthew Morgan still cares so much and can't see the issues — that's strange!
