Corinne narrowed her eyes, which were filled with caution and spection.


    ‘Looks like I wasn’t wrong to think that someone has been secretly spying on me and the kids for the


    past two days. The balloon seller from this afternoon must be in on it, too,’ thought Corinne.


    After all, how could someone who was selling something forget important things such as a QR code


    and his phone? It also did not make sense that he would choose to sell his balloons at a high-end


    residential area instead of themercial area, which had more foot traffic.


    ‘Sophia must have her eyes on Bryan and Christine after she found out I gave birth to triplets three


    years ago,’ spected Corinne. ‘I was right not to fly out of the country. I must protect the kids at all


    costs!’ Corinne looked up at the bright moon hanging in the sky and sighed. She took out her phone


    and called Lucas.


    “Mister Lucas, I’m afraid I won’t be able to go to Molomia with you to meet the art teacher,” she told


    him.


    “I see. Don’t worry, I’ll call you to give you an update as soon as I’ve met with the art teacher,” said


    Lucas.


    After she hung up, she suddenly felt unbelievably tired. Thus, she turned and went back to her room.


    The next day, Lucas took the morning flight to Molomia, where someone was already waiting for him.


    Back at the hotel.


    Sophia prepared some simple meals for Jeremy and ‘Benjamin’ and sat down to eat with them before


    she left to go to a meeting.


    It was not until she went out that the atmosphere in the room became less tense.


    Bryan put down his fork and sighed in relief. “Finally, she’s gone.”

    Seeing the tension leaving Bryan’s face, Jeremy wiped the corner of the little boy’s lips and asked, “Do


    you hate her that much?”


    “Yeah! I really don’t like being in the same room with her. I miss my Mommy.


    Daddy, can you send me home now that Sophia’s gone out? That way, I can introduce my Mommy to


    you too.”


    Jeremy raised an eyebrow. “It’s not that I don’t want to send you back home, but there’s no way we’ll


    be able to step foot out of the hotel. Sophia has bought off the staff here, and she has nted


    bodyguards around the hotel to make sure we can never leave the hotel. Plus, it’s not like I can go


    anywhere with my crippled legs.”


    Bryan nced at Jeremy’s wheelchair and sighed again. “Daddy, I kinda pity you for losing your


    freedom. If only Mommy knows I’m here. She’ll definitely get you and me out of here.”


    Suddenly, his eyes lit up. “Oh! How could I forget? I can just call her and ask her toe pick US up!”


    He then jumped down from his chair and ran to thendline phone.


    “Don’t touch that phone!” shouted Jeremy.


    Bryan stopped in shock. “Why not? Sophia’s not going to know.”


    “You can kiss seeing your mommy goodbye if she finds out who you’ve been calling. Listen to me.


    Don’t touch that phone.”


    Bryan pouted. “Fine…”
