Back at the Seet Residence.
The moment Evan returned, Juan and Kyle rushed towards him with Nina and Maya following closely behind.
âDaddy, when is Mommy coming back?â
âDaddy, I guarantee Mommy was framed. You have to save her.â
âDaddyâ¦â
âDaddy, I miss Mommy.â
Evanâs gaze narrowed as he looked at the children. If I were to get her out, wouldnât 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.
âStop asking. Just let her stay in there.â
Evanâs expression darkened just after he spoke and then headed upstairs.
Both Juan and Kyle felt a sense of defeat. Then, Juan sighed, âI told you that Daddy wants Mommy to be arrested. So why would he rescue Mommy? Therefore, we are on our own on this.â
âBut what can we do?â
âWe canât get through to Grandpa despite calling so many times. I wonder what happened to him? Why donât 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.â
Kyle nodded. âSounds like a plan.â
Nina agreed. âIn that case, letâs call Ms. Sheila at once.â
Despite calling multiple times, they couldnât get through as Sheilaâs phone had been turned off.
Whatâs going on?
Is it a trend now to keep oneâs 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 couldnât get through to her, the children became more anxious.
âWhat are we going to do? Ms. Sheila has turned off her phone, and we canât get in touch with her.â Juan looked worried.
âWhy donât we look for her?â Kyle suggested.
âI agree as we have no other choice,â Nina acknowledged.
âBut which one of us should go?â
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. âWhy are you so quiet today? Do you not want to save Mommy?â
Maya widened her eyes and nodded vigorously.
Of course, I want to save Mommy. Thatâs the only thing I want.
âThen why are you not saying a word?â
âI, Iâ¦â
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.
âStop scolding Maya. She is just at a loss from being worried about Mommy. Thatâs why she doesnât know what to say.â
Juan defended Maya when he saw her in a daze.
Maya nodded at Juanâs words.
Right then, Kyle returned to the topic. âSo, who is going to find Ms. Sheila?â
Nina gave Maya the side-eye again. âOf course, it has to be the three of us. Not Maya because she always gets lost. Iâm afraid she would lose her way again.â
Maya looked at Nina but didnât 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 Mommyâs 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. âMommy, save Mommy, I want Mommyâ¦â
âStop crying Maya. We will save Mommy.â
