Chapter 19 Single Mother

Adrienne was puzzled. "Alastair."

Alastair insisted, "I said no."

It was rare for Alastair to look so solemn. He was not only wary but he also seemed hostile to the man, which was unheard of for a kid his age.

"Thank you but we can get it on our own."

Upon finishing that, Alastair dragged her sister away and lectured her, "You can't accept anything from strangers. I've told you so many times but you never listen to me."

"But that uncle is so handsome. He's definitely a good guy."

"He's not handsome."

"No, he is!"

Theodore stood up and watched as the children walked away. He looked exceptionally cold in the rain. He handed the umbrella to the assistant behind him.

"Mr. Godfrey, the children..."

"Moses, follow them. Don't let anything happen to them."

"Yes, sir."

After Moses went after the kids, Theodore returned to the car. He rolled down the window and lit a cigarette.

The entrance to the apartment was just nearby and it was still raining.
