The question stunned Kyle. âLevantâs definitely going to be on the lookout for us. Trying to stop the wedding wonât be easy.â
âThatâs why itâs imperative for us to find Daddy. Heâll know how to get Mommy back.â
Kyle nodded in agreement.
Soon, the sky dimmed as the sun gradually disappears below the horizon. The two little ones knew it was time to move out.
Fortunately, they had no problem sneaking into Avrilâs residence.
Sighing in the courtyard, Avril was startled when she inadvertently saw two small figures moving. âWhat the hell?â
She stood up and walked over to take a closer look, but the two shadows had already disappeared.
âThatâs weird. I thought I saw two figures moving. Something must be wrong with my eyes.â Even after rubbing her eyes, Avril couldnât find anything.
However, when she turned around, she suddenly saw two little kids ran into her room.
Avril immediately rushed in after them and locked the door behind her.
âCome out now!â
Juan and Kyle both trembled as they wondered if that was the end of their operation. This lady sure has sharp eyes. Weâre doomed now!
âIf you donât come out on your own, Iâll seek you out myself. And when I do, Iâll fry you up as my dinner!â
Juan shivered all over before whispering to Kyle, âThis madwoman is scary. Should we just surrender ourselves?â
âLetâs wait a little longer,â replied Kyle after some thought.
Juan held his breath and prayed that they would not be discovered as he waited for the woman to make a move.
âNot surrendering, are we? Fine. Iâll drag you out myself!â
Avril rolled her sleeves and started rummaging through boxes and cabinets.
Listening to the noises of the search, the kidsâ hearts almost beat out of their chests, for they had never seen a woman so hellbent on catching them. Who knows whatâs going to happen if she catches us.
Suddenly, the wardrobe door was opened, and the two kids desperately backed as far away inside as they could.
âWhat are you two doing in my courtyard? Are you after my body or money? Is this an attempt on my life?â asked Avril as she dragged the children out unceremoniously.
Why would we need her money or her body? Look at how young we are! And how would we kill her without any weapon? This madwoman is just weird.
Juan looked at Avril with rounded eyes and smiled. âWeâre not here for your money or your life. Even though youâre as beautiful as a diamond sparkling in the morning light, we kids are not here for your body either.â
This kid sure knows how to butter up someone.
âThen why are you two sneaking around in those outfits?â
After some thinking, Juan answered sincerely, âWell, thatâs because weâre playing hide-and-seek.â
However, Avril was unconvinced. Why would anyone think itâs necessary to wear black suits for hide-and-seek?
As she continued to look at the two suspiciously, Avril suddenly realized how similar they looked to someone she knew. Could that person be the reason why theyâre here?
After serious consideration, she stared at Juan intently. âI can tell that youâre not being honest with me. I can read minds, so thereâs no point in lying to me.â
She can read minds? Nobody can do that! This madwoman must be lying to us, but jokes on you! We wonât be fooled!
âIf you can read minds, tell us why weâre here then,â requested Kyle coldly.
