Chapter 45 Missing Children

After searing the steaks, Sean served them on intricate plates placed on a hardwood table while forks

and knives were laid out next to the plates.

Sean had just picked up his cutlery when he was suddenly struck by a thought. He looked up at the children and asked, "Do you need me to cut them up?"

"Thanks, but it's fine, Sir."

Belle picked up her cutlery and started cutting. While it took a lot of effort to cut into her steak, she did not complain at all. Jon did not look as awkward as Belle as he cut into his steak, but he was not that successful either.

Sean was impressed by their behavior. They were willing to do everything themselves and would rather

not trouble others when the task was possible for them. Claire had evidently taught them well.

After they were done with their steaks, Sean watched over the children as they brushed their teeth. As he watched the toothpaste bubble around their mouths, he thought of Claire.

Claire had yet to lose her naiveté. Was she expecting to remain as the children's friends forever? When Jon looked up after he had finished brushing his teeth, he noticed Sean blankly staring at Belle and him. He crossed his arms before his chest and confidently asked, "Are you thinking of Mommy.

Sir?"

Sean instantly snapped back to his senses. For a moment, he felt too afraid to even look Jon in the

eye. "Not at all. If you're done, let's go to sleep."

Jon pouted and followed Sean with Belle beside him.

Fortunately, Sean had Victor prepare a guest bedroom that was occupied by a king-sized bed. There was enough bed space for the two children.

After tucking them in, Sean patiently asked, "Do you need me to tell you a bedtime story?"

Jon poked his head out of the blanket with his nose wrinkled in disgust. "We're not babies. Why woul we need bedtime stories?"

Sean silently stared.

Well, perhaps he was offering too much.

Still, what was the deal with Jon? Why did this tiny child seem to know everything?

He also held himself in a way that made him seem as confident and powerful as Sean.

Sean preferred Belle. She was so cute and soft. Girls really were better children than boys!

Without saying another word, he loudly turned off the lights before gently closing the door. He refused to hold a grudge against a child. During summer, the sun rose bright and early.

Claire woke up with the first ray of sunshine streaming into her room as her mind was preoccupied with thoughts of her children.

Her mood was always good when her children were by her side.

She lazily stretched and turned around. As she opened her eyes, she happily said, "Good morning, Belle, Jon."

Oh, no!

Where were her children? Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FɪndNøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

She shot out of the bed and through the bedroom door as if she had been struck by lightning. She did not even stop to put on her slippers.

"Jon! Belle!"

They were not on the couch or anywhere else in the living room. They were not in the kitchen or the bathroom. She even ran over to Julia's room and barged into it without knocking.

Julia had been sprawled out on her bed. When Claire ran in, she was jolted away and immediately sat 1. up. "What are you doing, Claire?"

Claire's face was filled with anxiety. Tears shimmered in her brown eyes. "Julia, Belle and Jon are missing."

Missing?" Julia ran her hands through her messy hair and as she got out of bed, she asked, "Have you

have. They're not there!"

Julia was stunned. She knew that this was major. Where else could the children have gone outside the

apartment?

It was their first time back in the country. They were not familiar with the culture here, and they

were around three years old. If left out in the world, they were lambs waiting to be sacrificed. Julia started panicking as well.

"Don't panic, Claire. I'll look for them too."

Without stopping to comb their hair or wash their faces, they got into the elevator in their

nightgowns and slippers. In fact, if Julia had not forcefully shoved a pair of slippers into Claire's

arms, Claire would be walking around on bare feet.

Everyone said women had it hard, but single mothers had it the hardest.

Claire had lived with Julia ever since her escape. Julia had rented an apartment near the university she was studying in back then. She watched as Claire went through morning sickness that was so bad it sounded like Claire would die vomiting.

She had tried to convince Claire to abort. After all, children born without a father always had the

worst to deal with in life.

Claire had wiped her mouth with a tissue and happily smiled through the nausea building up in her. "I have no more family left in this world. The baby is my only family. How can I bear to steal his life away before he had the chance to see this beautiful world?"

Well, she gave birth to not just one, but two babies!

They had thought the hardest part of raising the children was when the babies were still breastfeeding. They had not imagined the time when the children learned to walk was the most tiring.

stage.

Fortunately, the two children were very smart and cute. At the age of three, they could take care of themselves already. Of course, they still entrusted them to Joseph when Claire left.

Thus, Julia perfectly understood Claire's feelings.

*Excuse me, my children are missing. Can we have a look at last night's surveillance records?"

at all times.

As soon as the man heard that, he shot to his feet. "Very well. Come with me."

With a target in mind, the man was able to immediately pull up the surveillance records from the cameras outside Claire's apartment. At around 11:20 p.m., her apartment door swung open to reveal two children walking out to the corridor.

Anxiety rose in Claire. "There they are!"

The man heaved a sigh of relief and watched the video with Claire by his side.

The two children knocked on the doors of two other units on the same floor. When no one answered the door, they headed to the final door that swung open to reveal Sean's face.

They were at Sean's unit.

Claire's joy barely lasted more than a few seconds before a cold chill spread across her body.

Shoot. Sean did not like children. Would he abuse Belle and Jon?

Claire did not dare dally. After thanking the security guard, she called Julia before heading back. upstairs.

As she stood before Sean's door, she took a deep breath to make herself look calm before ringing the doorbell.

In just ten seconds, the door was opened to reveal Claire standing there in a set of pajamas covered

How could she look so cute at all times despite the situation?

Claire licked her lips and politely asked, "Sir, are my children here?"

Sean raised his eyebrows and turned to the side so that Claire could see the two children sitting by the dining table and enjoying their breakfast.
