Chapter 21 Where Is Mom?
With trembling hands, Mia switched to a new phone and urgently called Tom.
“What do you mean by that Ben and Anna are missing? Weren’t you watching them all the time? How can they be gone? What do you mean by ‘missing’?” Mia fired off a series of questions, leaving Tom at a loss for where to begin, and he could only sigh heavily.
Miss Clinton’s concern for the two children was apparent to him, and now that they had disappeared, how could she not fall apart?
But she had only just managed to escape from her past.
Tom, feeling helpless, explained the circumstances of the children’s disappearance.
They were supposed to have piano lessons that day, but before the class began, Anna suddenly said she felt unwell. The nanny rushed to call the family doctor, only to find the children gone upon her return.
They had practically turned the entire mansion upside down but found no trace of them.
Hearing this, Mia’s originally agitated heart actually calmed down.
Due to her caution, the identities of every staff member in the villa had been checked multiple times, and the security measures around the villa had been elevated to the highest level. It was impossible for anyone to sneak in unnoticed.
Rubbing her forehead in frustration, she asked, “There’s no sign of them on the villa’s surveillance footage, is there?”
Tom was taken aback, “Indeed, that’s the case.”
“Go after the piano teacher’s car now. Maybe the children are hiding in the trunk,” Mia calmly gave an instruction to Tom.
After hanging up the phone, Mia let out a deep breath.
She wondered why the two little ones were so well-behaved during their video calls, even promising to wait for her return. It turns out they had planned this all along, waiting for her to act.
At the Capital Airport.
Two identical little figures, each dragging a suitcase almost as tall as themselves, stood in the middle of the terminal, attracting many glances.
A security guard approached to inquire, and Anna, nervous, grabbed her brother’s hand, but Ben was calm, “Thank you, sir. Our Mom went to the restroom and told us to stay put.”
Seeing the children so orderly, the guard left satisfied.
“Ben, where is Mom?” Anna whispered ifto Bel S caf.
Ben, keeping a straight face, pulled out his phone, “I heard Mr. River mention Mom’s address last time. We can go there directly.”
Before he could open the map search app, his eyes were caught by a notification on Twitter.
“Mia White… Is this mom’s name?”
Ben closed his phone too quickly, and Anna, who had only seen three characters, asked curiously.
Ben’s little eyebrows furrowed, taking his sister’s hand, he said, “Change of plans! There’s a group of bad people bullying Mom now. We have to defeat them first!”
“Okay!” Hearing that someone was bullying their mom, Anna’s little hand clenched into a fist, and she nodded earnestly.
The two little ones struggled with their suitcases and left, being spotted by Jack, who was preparing to go abroad with Joe.
The previous international trip had been abruptly interrupted, and Joe had to fly abroad again for contract negotiations. Seeing Jack repeatedly glancing back, he frowned and asked, “What’s the matter?” Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Jack quickly turned his gaze back, smiling, “Nothing, I just saw two little ones struggling with their suitcases and thought it was interesting.”
Joe followed his gaze, looking in the direction where the
children had been.
