Back at the Seet Residence.
The moment Evan returned, Juan and Kyle rushed towards him with Nina and Maya following closely behind.
“Daddy, when is Mommy coming back?”
“Daddy, I guarantee Mommy was framed. You have to save her.”
“Daddy…”
“Daddy, I miss Mommy.”
Evan’s gaze narrowed as he looked at the children. If I were to get her out, wouldn’t that allow her to leave with Levant and abandon the four of you?
Never!
There was no way he was going to allow Nicole to leave with that man.
“Stop asking. Just let her stay in there.”
Evan’s expression darkened just after he spoke and then headed upstairs.
Both Juan and Kyle felt a sense of defeat. Then, Juan sighed, “I told you that Daddy wants Mommy to be arrested. So why would he rescue Mommy? Therefore, we are on our own on this.”
“But what can we do?”
“We can’t get through to Grandpa despite calling so many times. I wonder what happened to him? Why don’t we get Ms. Sheila to help us? She has been to the estate before and can definitely find Grandpa. That way, we can get Grandpa to help us save Mommy.”
Kyle nodded. “Sounds like a plan.”
Nina agreed. “In that case, let’s call Ms. Sheila at once.”
Despite calling multiple times, they couldn’t get through as Sheila’s phone had been turned off.
What’s going on?
Is it a trend now to keep one’s phone off?
Little did the children know that Sheila was curled up beside Davin, and they were having a passionate time together.
To prevent the Muir family from disrupting them and getting her to go home, Sheila had turned off her phone on purpose.
When they couldn’t get through to her, the children became more anxious.
“What are we going to do? Ms. Sheila has turned off her phone, and we can’t get in touch with her.” Juan looked worried.
“Why don’t we look for her?” Kyle suggested.
“I agree as we have no other choice,” Nina acknowledged.
“But which one of us should go?”
As Maya watched the three of them discussing, her chubby hands continued to fidget around.
She had just clearly heard that Daddy wanted Mommy to stay in prison; hence, he would definitely not rescue her. As Grandpa and Ms. Sheila could not be contacted, the only one who could save Mommy at that moment was Susan.
Although Ms. Susan can be terrifying at times, I will obey whatever she says as long as she can rescue Mommy.
Nina turned to look at Maya. “Why are you so quiet today? Do you not want to save Mommy?”
Maya widened her eyes and nodded vigorously.
Of course, I want to save Mommy. That’s the only thing I want.
“Then why are you not saying a word?”
“I, I…”
A moment ago, she was just thinking about how to get Susan to rescue Mommy as soon as possible.
Maya continued her silence.
Nina rolled her eyes at her. All she knows is chomping down on her food. And when faced with a major problem, she just turns into a useless piece of wood.
“Stop scolding Maya. She is just at a loss from being worried about Mommy. That’s why she doesn’t know what to say.”
Juan defended Maya when he saw her in a daze.
Maya nodded at Juan’s words.
Right then, Kyle returned to the topic. “So, who is going to find Ms. Sheila?”
Nina gave Maya the side-eye again. “Of course, it has to be the three of us. Not Maya because she always gets lost. I’m afraid she would lose her way again.”
Maya looked at Nina but didn’t rebut. She knew Nina was right as she was prone to getting herself lost. Thus, Mommy never let her wander far. Every time they went out, Mommy would be holding her chubby hands.
The thought of Mommy’s warm hands caused tears to well up in her eyes. I must rescue Mommy and not leave her in prison to be beaten and starved like what Ms. Susan said.
The more she thought about it, the more pitiful she felt Mommy was. Suddenly, she started crying. “Mommy, save Mommy, I want Mommy…”
“Stop crying Maya. We will save Mommy.”
