With trembling hands, Francesca switched to a new phone and couldn’t wait to return Braxton’s call.
“What did you mean when you said Lukas and Luna are missing? Weren’t you watching them? How could they disappear? What do you mean by missing?” Francesca threw a series of questions at Braxton, leaving him at a loss for where to begin explaining.
He could only let out a deep sigh in the end. Ms. Cynthia has always cared deeply for the two children, and now she has found out that they had gone missing. How could she not be on the verge of another breakdown? It took her a great effort to forget about her past.
Braxton had no choice but to tell the story of how the two children had gone missing.
The two children were supposed to have a piano lesson that day. However, just before the class started, Luna suddenly complained about having a stomachache. The housekeeper hurriedly went to fetch the family doctor, but both children had mysteriously disappeared when she returned.
They practically turned the entire mansion upside down, but they still couldn’t find any trace of them.
Upon hearing this, Francesca gradually calmed down.”
Due to her vigilance, the identity of every staff member in the mansion. was verified countless times, and the security measures around the mansion were elevated to the highest level. It was absolutely impossible to sneak into the mansion without making a sound.
She rubbed her brow helplessly and asked, “The surveillance cameras in the mansion didn’t pick up any trace of them, right?”

Braxton paused for a moment and replied, “Indeed, that’s true.”

“Go after Ms. Patricia’s car now. Perhaps the two children are hiding in the trunk,” Francesca said calmly to Braxton.
After hanging up the phone, Francesca let out a long and heavy sigh. No wonder the two little ones were so well–behaved in both of our previous video calls. They even promised to wait for me to return. So, it turns out they had a plan all along.
At Capital Airport, two identical kids in the middle of the hall, dragging suitcases not much shorter than themselves, were attracting the attention of many onlookers.
When a security guard came over to ask them questions, Luna grabbed her brother’s hand nervously. However, Lukas remained calm and said, “Thank you, Mister, but our mommy went to the restroom and told us to stay here.”
Seeing that the child was calm and collected, the security guard felt relieved and left.
Luna approached Lukas and whispered into his ear, “Luke, where’s Mommy?”
Lukas‘ face was dead–serious as he took out his phone. “I heard Mr. Dakota mention the address where Mommy is living now. We can go there directly.”
Before he had a chance to open the navigation app, his attention was. drawn to a Twitter notification.
Lukas closed his phone too quickly, and Luna only managed to catch a glimpse of the name. Hence, she asked curiously, “Francesca? Is that Mommy’s name?”

Lukas‘ eyebrows furrowed slightly as he took his sister’s hand and said, “Change of plans! There’s a group of bad people bullying Mommy right now, and we need to go defeat them first!”
“All right!” Upon hearing that someone was bullying her mother, Luna immediately clenched her fists, and she nodded earnestly.
The two little ones struggled to pull their suitcases away, and they were. spotted by Timothy, who was preparing to go abroad with Colton.
Last time, Colton’s trip abroad was abruptly interrupted, so he had to fly overseas again to discuss contract matters. Seeing his assistant, Timothy, frequently looking back, he frowned and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Timothy quickly looked away and smiled. “It’s nothing. I just found it interesting to see the two little ones struggling to carry their suitcases.”
Colton traced Timothy’s gaze, but the former saw nothing.
“Let’s go.”
At this moment, Francesca had already received a phone call from Braxton. They had checked the surveillance footage and confirmed that the two little ones had hidden in the piano teacher’s trunk. However, they had already taken the opportunity to sneak out of the trunk, and the last footage showed the two kids with their luggage getting into a taxi.
It was obvious where those two were headed. Francesca hurriedly called Marcus, asking him to join her in searching for someone at the airport. Judging by the time the two little ones went missing, they might have already arrived in the country!
By the time Francesca got dressed and went downstairs, she unexpectedly saw Yoel in the parking lot. He’s not supposed to be here.
She was takan shaal. “in

“Braxton was worried about you, so he called and told me that the two little ones went missing.” Yoel said as he pushed the car door open. “Now’s not the time to discuss this. Let’s go find the kids first.”
Francesca bit her lip and nodded reluctantly.
Seeing the worried expression on Francesca’s face, Yoel comforted her by saying, “Don’t worry. Lukas and Luna are both smart kids. They’ll be fine.”
“I’m just afraid they’re too clever,” Francesca said with a cold snort. She couldn’t believe that these four–year–old kids dared to sneak out of the mansion and even took a plane out of the country by themselves. I should give them a good spanking!
Yoel laughed. “They must have inherited my cleverness! Otherwise, how could they come up with such a great idea?”
Francesca was rendered speechless.
The two rushed to the airport, and upon checking the surveillance. footage, they saw the two little ones dragging their suitcases around in the airport.
After waiting in one place for a while, they surprisingly dragged their suitcases along and headed to the nearest cybercafe.
“Why did they go to the cybercafe?” Even Yoel was puzzled at this point. It couldn’t be that the internet speed in China is better than abroad, right?
Before he could figure it out, Francesca took off and quickly went to the cybercafe at the airport.
Sure enough, the two little ones were sitting on a couch in the cybercafe, and the receptionist was just about to call the police.
“Mommy!”

Upon seeing Francesca, Luna instantly forgot that she had actually returned discreetly and jumped into Francesca’s embrace.
With the suitcase in his grip, Lukas merely stood rooted to the spot.

“I’ve missed you so much!” Luna rubbed her head against Francesca’s neck and hugged Francesca.
Francesca felt relieved, and her eyes instantly turned red.
Somewhere nearby, Yoel explained the situation to the receptionist and hugged Lukas. Despite Lukas‘ condemning gaze, Yoel uttered, “You little rascal, you’ve got quite the guts! How dare you sneak back into the country with your sister? If anything had happened to you, your mommy would be worried sick!”
Lukas pursed his lips and looked at Francesca from afar without daring to speak.
Francesca glanced at him and asked coldly, “You had the guts to sneak around, right? Why do you not have the courage to come over?”
Yoel gently nudged him from behind. “Hurry up. Your mommy is really
worried.”
Lukas slowly and cautiously moved closer before hugging Francesca’s legs gently.
Seeing that she didn’t push him away, Lukas let out a sigh of relief, looked up at her, and suddenly burst into tears.
After all, he was just a four–year–old child. He had been holding back his emotions, and he just wanted to find his mother. Therefore, he finally felt relieved now that his mother was standing before him.
