After Shirley returned to the villa, she compiled some information from the Internet and handed it to Cameron.
âCameron, help me to borrow some books from Xinhua Bookstore. The information is on it, try to find them for me.â
Cameron moved forward, took the book list that Shirley had printed out and said, âDo you want Mr. Stewartâs notes? It is on sale recently. It should be able to be found at Xinhua Bookstore.â
Hearing the word Mr. Stewart, Shirley was slightly stunned for a moment. Her lips curled into a smile and she said, âNo need, I have a copy of Mr.
Stewartâs notes.â
âI hear that itâs the latest one.â
âI donât need the latest one either. I can get it using other methods. You help me arrange these book lists first. By the way, help me to buy a few storybooks for children.â
âAlright, no problem.â Cameron made an âokayâ gesture and went out of Shirleyâs room.
Shirley continued flipping through the information and after half an hour, the nanny came in and said that the two children had woken up and were looking for her.
Shirley put down the things in her hands and went to the childrenâs room.
After chatting with the two children for a while and asking about their body conditions, she took them down to the first floor.
The nanny took the children to play in the garden while Shirley went into the kitchen to prepare dinner. During this period, she made two phone calls to Cameron but he did not answer the call.
After the meal was ready, Shirley made another call but he still did not answer the call.
The nanny came in together with the children.
Jacob noticed that Shirleyâs expression was not right so he walked to her and asked, âMommy, whatâs wrong with you?â
Shirley opened the contact list and found Cameronâs alternate account. She continued to dial his phone while putting another hand on Jacobâs head.
She gently stroked a few times and said, âNothing, itâs just that Cameron has gone out for more than three hours but I canât get through. You quickly bring your younger sister in to wash her hands, the dinner is ready.â
âOkay!â Jacob answered, turned his head and pulled Emmaâs hand to go to the sink.
The nanny came out with the children. Seeing that Shirley was still making calls, she took out her own phone and said, âHow about I try to call him using my phone.â
âDaisy, Iâve already made ten calls. If he can answer the call, he would have answered it long ago. Donât worry about him, sit down and have the meal,â Shirley said with a gentle attitude.
Daisy nodded. She picked up Shirleyâs bowl and served her a bowl of soup and then helped the two children too.
Shirley absentmindedly lowered her head to drink soup. When she dialled Cameronâs phone again, it showed that his phone was off.
Her eyebrows unconsciously furrowed. Why was his phone off?
âMommy, is it that Cameron has played hooky from work. Our teacher has said that skipping class means sneaking out to play, not letting parents and teachers know. Such children are bad children. Cameron plays hooky from work to play during work time so he isnât a good child either,â Emma held the soup ladle and spoke in an immature tone while blinking her big eyes.
Daisy laughed at the childâs words.
Shirley also laughed slightly and said, âEmma, Cameron isnât playing hooky from work. He is helping Mommy to get something. Perhaps he encounters something on the way. You quickly eat, Mommy has to go out to look for Cameron.â
âMommy is leaving?â Emma immediately put down the soup ladle in her hand. Her eyes immediately flooded with tears. Her small hand clutched her clothes and she looked at her pitifully.
Looking at the soft and tender little face with teary eyes, Shirley felt like her heart had been forcefully pulled by something.
She knew the child best. She was very clingy whenever she was sick.
She squatted and held her soft little hand, saying, âIâm going out to find Cameron. Iâll come back to accompany Emma and your elder brother after finding him.â
âI donât need one to accompany me. Someone has said that she will never disturb Mommyâs work but now, she is clinging to Mommy every day,â
Jacob raised his head slightly and said arrogantly.
After Emma heard this, her small lips flattened and she broke into tears, âIâm not clinging to Mommy. Itâs obvious that Daddy is the one who is clinging to Mommy...Mommy can no longer sleep with me at night.â
âOoo...Mommy, you go and find Cameron. Donât bother Emma, Iâm just a little sad, just let me cry for a while. Iâll eat some dessert later to forget about this bad mood...â
Emma clenched her small fists and wiped her tears while talking.
Jacob pulled a long face, glanced at his younger sister beside him and was somewhat annoyed.
He was not as good as Emma at showing his emotions but in fact, he also longed for Shirleyâs company inwardly just like Emma. After all, no matter how much more mature he was compared to other children, he was still just a five-year-old child.
He put down the chopsticks, took Emmaâs spoon and scooped a spoonful of rice. When Emma opened her mouth while crying, he shoved the rice directly into her mouth.
The crying sound stopped instantaneously.
Emma bit the spoon and chewed on the rice while crying in a low voice.
Seeing this, Shirley was heartbroken.
At this time, she subconsciously recalled what Bryan had told her in the hospital this morning.
When Scarlett invited her last time, she said that she would be provided with food and accommodation. Also, the Moore family would do their best to solve any request she made.
If she took the two children to stay in the Mooresâ Manor, there were not only comprehensive security facilities and she could also stay close to the children. It would be convenient for her to work too...
But, she feared that one day, Bryan would find out that the two children were his.
Now, Shirley was struggling in her mind.
She needed to talk to Bryan again tonight and she would decide after seeing the place.
âBe obedient, Emma. Mommy will soon adjust my time to accompany you and your elder brother.â Shirley drew out a few tissues to wipe the tears on Emmaâs face and looked up at Jacob who was sitting next to Emma, âJacob, donât be angry at your anger sister anymore, you should coax her.
Mommy is going to find Cameron and will be back very soon, understand?â
âMommy, I know, donât worry about me and Emma. Sheâs just wilful.â Jacob was really a professional criticizer. Just after she had coaxed Emma, the word âwilfulâ said by him made his younger sister cried again.

Shirley coaxed Emma until she stopped crying then only went out.
Just as she got into the car, she received a WeChat message from Cameron.
She clicked on the message and a video popped up.
It showed the image of Cameron being beaten up.
Then, the image changed and a young man with dyed white hair said, âWe are at M&H KTV on East Street. I hear that youâre her boss. You better come over and apologize to Mr. Rogers. Otherwise, we will remove this guyâs hand. By the way, donât call anyone to come over with you, or else the consequence will be disastrous.â
After the person finished speaking, the camera was turned to face Cameron.
At this moment, Cameron was beaten severely in which his nose and face were swollen and there was a mouthful of blood.
Shirley frowned tightly. Thinking that she could not care so much anymore, she directly drove to M&H KTV...
