Little Tian and Little Han paused at the same time for a second.
Then, they insisted that they had indeed gone to the restroom just now.
Ellie Doyle looked at the two little ones with half doubt and half belief, and for the moment, she chose to trust them. She beckoned, "You two, come here."
Little Tian and Little Han were very obedient to Ellie Doyle's words.
They walked obediently to Ellie Doyle's side.
Ellie Doyle's hands rested on each of their shoulders.
She sighed lightly, a hint of helplessness flickered across her cool face: "Haven't I told you that you can't wander off out of sight of adults? Just now, when you went to the restroom, you should have told me."
Both little ones, one speaking and the other using sign language, said in unison: "Mommy, sorry, we know we were wrong."
"Mhm, knowing you were wrong is good. Don't do it again." Ellie Doyle ruffled their heads: "Off you go."
In a place that Ellie Doyle didn't notice.
