Chapter 22 How Dare You!
When he looked over, he saw nothing.
“Let’s go.”
By now, Mia had received a phone call from Tom. They had checked the surveillance, and the two little rascals were indeed hiding in the piano teacher’s trunk. However, they had sneaked out of the trunk and were last seen getting into a taxi with their luggage…
Their destination was clear, and Mia had to urgently call Frank to join her in looking for them at the airport.
According to the time they were last seen, they might have already arrived in their home country!
When Mia hurriedly dressed and went downstairs, she was surprised to see David in the parking lot.
She paused, “Didn’t you go home?”
“Tom was worried about you and called me about the kids missing,” David said, pushing the car door open, “Now’s not the time to talk about this. Let’s find the children.”
Mia bit her lip and nodded.
Seeing Mia’s concern, David quickly reassured her, “Don’t
worry, Ben and Anna are smart kids. They’ll be fine.”
“I’m afraid they’re too smart,” Mia huffed. She was annoyed that her four-year-old children dared to sneak out of the villa and take an international flight. She wished she could give their little behinds a good spanking!
David smiled, “They must have got their smarts from me! Who else would come up with such a great idea?”
Mia was speechless.
They rushed to the airport and soon spotted the two little ones on the surveillance footage, dragging their suitcases.
But instead of going to a gate, they headed to the nearest… Internet place.
“What are they doing at an Internet place?” Even David was puzzled.
Without waiting for an answer, Mia hurried to the location inside the airport.
Sure enough, the two little ones were sitting in the place’s lounge area, and the receptionist was about to call the police.
“Mom!”
Seeing Mia, Anna forgot all about their secret escape and rushed
toward her.
But Ben stood still, holding the luggage.
“I missed you so much!” Anna nuzzled Mia’s neck, holding her tightly.
Mia’s heart finally settled, and her eyes filled with tears.
David went over to the receptionist to explain, then picked up Ben under the receptionist’s reproachful gaze, “You’ve got some nerve, young man! Sneaking back into the country with your sister? Do you want to scare your mom to death?”
Ben pressed his lips together and looked at Mia, not daring to speak.
Mia gave him a stern look, “You have the courage to run away but not to come here?” Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
David gently pushed him, “Go on, your mom’s been worried. sick.”
Ben slowly approached and quietly hugged Mia’s leg.
Seeing that she didn’t push him away, he breathed a sigh of relief and burst into tears.
After all, he was only four years old, and his brave front crumbled now that his mother was here.
Mia’s eyes reddened, and she crouched down to hug both children.
On the way home, Mia looked sternly at the children, “How on earth did you manage to sneak over here? How could the airport possibly allow two children to fly alone?”
Anna and Ben looked down and exchanged a glance.
“Don’t think about keeping your stories straight; I’ll know,” Mia said gruffly.
The twins, being identical, had an unspoken understanding and had often used this tactic to win Mia’s sympathy.
Ben glanced at Mia quickly, making sure her anger had subsided bit, and then whispered, “We hired a man and a woman online and paid for their tickets so they could bring us here.”
