Chapter 583
Daddy, Mommy had been in Prison
âHis Majesty has a lot to deal with today and may only see you in the evening. If you would like to take a tour outside or of the palace, His Majesty says you may do as you please.â
âTake us around the palace, then. Itâs our first time here.â
Elsie spoke, and Wilson nodded, translating Elsieâs words, Theyâd just finished breakfast, though, and planned to go back to rest and walk around after noon. After returning to the room, Elsie turned to Wilson.
âMy answer was the right one, right? Itâs not too smart of us to go out right now in case Princess Anna or the Chows discover us. With us in this palace, both parties wouldnât know weâve come. Of course, even if they did, we could threaten them instead of staying passive. Am I thinking the right way?â
Wilson smiled and rubbed Elsieâs hair. He took her hand and led her to the balcony.
âYouâre thinking the right way. Itâs not too serious if Princess Anna or the Chow family caught wind, but since weâve just arrived, weâll hide the information for as long as we can. They have their needs, and we have our goals. If we can suppress each other, thatâs the best outcome.â
The two held each other while lying on the balcony, enjoying the sweet atmosphere.
In a foreign land, their hearts somehow seemed closer. They didnât feel like going outside anyway. They had a nap just like that, lying down on a couch chair in the hotel room.
In the afternoon, the palace workers took them around several spots in the palace.
Meanwhile, back in the country, it was morning. Georgia woke up early and turned to Robert.
âHas Boss Nash contacted you? What time do you leave? Should I come with you?â
âWere you thinking of that the moment you woke up?â
Robert chuckled and looked at the time. It was barely seven.
âIâll deal with it. We canât have you out of the lab. If thereâs any news, Iâll notify you straight away.â
Georgia thought that made sense. Antonioâs research had progressed somewhat and he could now just manage to synthesize a bit of organic particles that could control the blood condition of the lab rats. A lab rat with nerve damage had recovered somewhat with the elements theyâd researched.
It wasnât very effective, but it seemed theyâd found the right direction. If they continued on, it might help Rileyâs lover, so he was naturally happy about it. Heâd even stay in the lab every day and exchange the progress of their experimentation. He was getting somewhat emotional, even looking forward to their success.
Considering all that, Georgia hurriedly washed, then went over to Annie and Wesleyâs room and had the children get dressed, wash and eat breakfast.
âMommy, is there still nothing about Auntie Vanessa?â
Annie let Georgia dress her obediently and asked that. After crying last time, sheâd been hung up about Vanessa all this time. But she was always a good kid, at least enough not to raise a tantrum over her motherâs white lie.
Still, she couldnât help but worry. Waking up early in the morning, she couldnât help but ask about it again.
âUncle Wilson and Auntie Elsie have already gone to search for Auntie Vanessa. Maybe someday soon, Auntie Vanessa will be back holding you and saying happy things. Donât worry, Annie, weâll find a way to rescue your Auntie Vanessa. At least for now, we can be sure that sheâs safe.â
âOkay then.â
Annie suddenly hugged Georgia to her cheek and kissed her.
âI didnât mean to pick on Auntie Elsie like that, Mommy, but I didnât want to yell at you or put you in an awkward spot. I just thought Auntie Elsie knew something. You wonât blame me, right?â
âWhat are you saying? How could I blame you, Annie? Mommy was wrong on this.â
Sure, it was a white lie, but lies hurt sometimes.
âMommy hurt your heart by doing this. Itâs my first time being a Mommy and I might not do everything right, so if you point it out, Annie, Mommy will do her best to fix it.â
Georgia didnât like authoritarian parents who always felt they were right. Sheâd always taught the kids to be open and understanding. As a senior, sheâd done wrong, so she had to apologize properly. If the child did wrong, she had to criticize it as well.
âI didnât blame you, Mommy, I know you wanted the best for me. Daddy talked with me in secret last night, and says youâre busy and working hard, and sometimes you canât care for my feelings. He wanted me to forgive you. Daddy didnât need to say it. I could see, Mommy, your eyes are always so baggy now. Donât worry about me. Iâll take care of myself and take care of Wesley too.â
That tugged on Georgiaâs heartstrings. Her daughter was such a good girl. She must have accumulated a lot of good karma to get such an angel in this life.
But the moment her baby girl finished, Wesley spoke up as well.
âAnnie, I donât need other people to take care of me now. I can take care of myself too.â
Robert walked out.
âDonât waste your time talking. The breakfast is getting cold. Come eat.â
Georgia and Robert took the childrenâs hands and led them to the dining room to eat. The kids ate obediently. Robert looked occasionally at how Annie and Wesley ate, dabbing at their lips with napkins.
Georgia suddenly felt very blessed. She had to treasure the time she had now and get Vanessa and Travis back. She had to work hard, too, and not waste every day away.
After eating breakfast, Rick came. He continued to give Annie and Wesley home lessons.
The kids were smart and made rapid progress. Georgia and Robert were going out today, so the kidsâ grandmother came to look after them.
Maisie was getting along with them now. Georgia and Robert were just too busy, so they just ate and conversed simply most days.
Most times, Maisie apparently just stayed in her drawing room and painted. But Annie and Wesley were getting along better and better with Maisie, which relieved Georgia a lot.
She got in a car and headed to the labs, while Robert waited for Sarah to arrive. After that, he and Sarah drove to the place Boss Nash had prepared, waiting for that Mack fellow to swallow the bait.
âIâve been troubling you over Travis all this while. Iâm truly guilty. Without your help in D City, my forces couldnât reach too many places. If thereâs anything I can do to repay you, please say it.â
Sarah said that in the car, and Robertâs response was mild.
âEric and Jayson are our common enemies. Helping you means helping us. Travis is Georgiaâs friend as well, and he saved both our lives. We wonât forget that debt, Miss Duran. So long as we work together, weâll save Travis.â
After Robert said that, Sarah forced a smile, her gaze complicated.
Daddy, Mommy had been in Prison ï¤Chapter 582 Arrival at Svero The Unexpected Marriage ï¤Chapter 251 What's The Use Of You Have I Told You Lately ï¤Chapter 147 It must Feel Good to Have Him Drive Me to Work After about half an hour, they arrived at an abandoned factory at the countryside.
That was where Boss Nash was luring Mack.
Mack had apparently wanted Boss Nashâs help with something.
After Boss Nash agreed, the pair agreed to exchange money and goods here.
