Hope Williams hurriedly got out of the car. She had just finished a surgery today and hadn't even had the chance to catch her breath when the nanny called to say the two kids were missing, scaring her so much she almost couldn't breathe.
"Mommy," Willow cheerfully rushed into Hope Williams' embrace, "Mommy, Mommy, Willow missed you so much."
Hope Williams squatted down helplessly and hugged both children into her arms. When she had arrived, she was furious, thinking that this time she must properly discipline these two little runaways.
But Hope Williams couldn't resist their cute appeal—her anger dissipated immediately, and now all she could do was keep a stern face.
"You two running off like this, do you know Mommy worries?"
"Mommy, sorry, Willow was wrong," Willow pouted and started to apologize, looking both cute and lovely, even planting a kiss on Hope Williams' face, making it truly impossible for her to get angry.
"Mommy, it's all Luke's fault, don't blame sister, please aren't you mad, okay?"
"Are you going to run off again next time?" Hope Williams' heart had melted into a mess, but she couldn't let these two little rascals off too easily. Otherwise, next time they might really run up to the sky, with their poor mother chasing after them.
"No, no more," Willow said, shaking her little hand, her voice soft and sticky.
"Good, then tell Mommy, what were you just up to?"
Willow's sparkling eyes looked towards Luke Williams, and Luke Williams narrowed his eyes, signaling Willow with a glance.
"Luke, Willow, good children shouldn't lie, you know."
Under the dual pressure of her brother and mother, Willow's cute little face was full of conflict. She lowered her head and whispered so softly, "Willow can't say."
Hope Williams softened her voice, asking patiently, "Why not?"
Willow pursed her little mouth, "Brother said not to tell."
Luke Williams, "?"
"Why did brother say Willow can't tell?" Hope Williams looked back and forth between Luke and Willow.
"Because brother went to teach Daddy a lesson for Mommy..."
Luke Williams, "..."
Can this sister be kept?
Hearing this, Hope Williams took a sharp breath and continued to ask. Willow talked and talked until there was nothing left.
Hope Williams listened with bated breath.
Piggy Waylon driving?
How daring these children were, to provoke Waylon Lewis.
Years ago, after she went abroad, she gave birth to Luke and Willow. She had just come back a week ago.
Waylon Lewis wouldn't allow her to keep the children, so she dared not let Waylon Lewis know about the existence of Luke and Willow. She thought she would never have any dealings with this man again for the rest of her life, but the children insistently provoked him.
Meanwhile, the elite defense system team of Lewis Clan Group had already located the prankster's position through tracking.
"Boss, found them," Thomas Hughes handed the location to Waylon Lewis, displaying the person was right under the Lewis Clan Group building.
Waylon Lewis frowned slightly.
"Let me see," Wyatt Lewis leaned in, "Damn, doing it right under your nose, quite brave. Brother, don't worry, I'll definitely catch this talent for you... pfft..."
Waylon Lewis' molars clenched tight, he lifted his gaze, and Wyatt Lewis' scalp tingled as he slowly shifted his eyes from the locator screen to Waylon Lewis' face.
"..." Brother, can you not point that laser at me...
"Laughing again?" Waylon Lewis spoke lightly, neither warm nor fiery. Yet, Wyatt Lewis could sense the towering anger within.
He was certain, if his lips were to curl into a smile for his brother one more time, he'd be rolling off to raise pigs.
"I'll shut up."
Wyatt Lewis mimed zipping his lips, standing quietly to the side.
Waylon Lewis returned his icy gaze to the screen, his sharp eyes narrowing slightly. Someone had the guts, to play pranks right under his watch.
Waylon Lewis stood up; he actually wanted to see who this person who dared to mess with him was, in person!
Seeing a drama unfolding, Wyatt Lewis, who never shied from trouble, quickly followed after, "Brother, I'm coming too."
Hope Williams knew the children meant well; she couldn't bear to scold them, but Luke had provoked Waylon Lewis, and with Waylon Lewis' ability, he would soon find them, especially right under the Lewis Clan Group building.
Hope Williams felt a strong sense of crisis.
Thinking this, she couldn't help but look up towards the Lewis Clan building, and the next second she saw a tall figure approaching the door. He exuded an aura of nobility, standing out prominently amid the crowd, with a throng of people following behind him fiercely.
Waylon Lewis!
After five years, Hope Williams could still recognize this man at a glance.
Her heart suddenly clenched, alarm bells ringing in her mind.
Run!
Her heart pounded in panic, but she stayed utterly calm, picking up the two children and placing them in the back seat, then immediately getting into the driver's seat herself.
Luke bore a striking resemblance to Waylon Lewis; an encounter would surely give them away.
Waylon Lewis' icy gaze swept over an all-too-familiar figure, his dark eyes narrowing sharply, and he quickened his pace.
Just as he reached the door, he saw a woman hurry into a car.
That woman's figure...
Hope Williams?
