Chapter 22 Adorable Baby
The person sitting on the sofa was Lucas. Standing beside him, the person with the gold-rimmed glasses was his assistant, Mason.
They were sizing up the room in front of them. It wasn’t large, but someone had obviously put a lot of effort into making it nice. The small room was full of warmth.
When they heard Vivian’s words, they paused, then turned to look at the two children behind Vivian.
Vivian was keenly aware that their line of sight had changed. She hugged the two children and stepped back, her eyes full of vigilance. She was very nervous and could not help but think about the news reports she’d seen on child abduction. What should she do? What if they went for the children? What should she do? In the current situation, she was completely outnumbered. Sofia tucked her small body behind Vivian, so timid she didn’t even dare look at the men.
Ethan was bold. He stared at the person in front of him. He looked on guard, but not fearful.
Lucas stroked his chin and looked at the two children with interest.
He vaguely remembered that when he met Emily in the car accident last time, she had two children beside her. It was probably these two. They were only about four or five years old. At that time, he did not pay attention to them. Now that he looked carefully, their facial features were very delicate. They were both pale with rosy lips, their hair was fine and soft, and they looked very adorable. The twins wore matching boy-girl outfits, and they looked like they belonged in the nicely decorated living room.
The girl was sweet and soft, and her big eyes were filled with tears, like two clear pools.
Unfortunately, she was hiding in the back, so he could not see her clearly. This little boy who was staring at him had a hint of softness between his brows, revealing a hint of wisdom and which was very
endearing. While he was sizing them up, Ethan was also staring straight at this very good-looking uncle.
He did not know why, but he was not afraid at all. He did not sense hostility from these people. On the contrary, he felt a strange sense of intimacy with this uncle, which confused him. Lucas got up from the sofa, walked over to them, squatted down, stared at Ethan and asked, “Who are you to Emily?”. Ethan replied calmly, “She is my mommy. Uncle, my mommy has already promised to return the money, so she will definitely not go back on her word. Don’t hurt us!” Lucas was a little surprised. This little fellow was really not afraid of them at all. He was instantly interested, there was a trace of gentleness in his sharp eagle eyes.
He couldn’t help but tease the little boy. His tone was calm and composed. “How would I know that your mommy won’t try to trick me?” Ethan spoke clearly with well-reasoned logic. “If you can find us here, then we definitely won’t be able to hide from you. Uncle, you look like an extraordinary person, and we’re not foolish enough to not pay you back. Although my mommy doesn’t have a lot of money right now, she has the ability to make money. As long as you are willing to give her some time, she will definitely be able to pay it all back.” Lucas felt that this little fellow was more and more interesting, and his face broke into a smile.
This was the first time he had seen such a fearless child. His personality was very rational and he had been in the business world for many years. He was able to appreciate rational people with ease. He could not help but be curious. How did Emily raise such a child? Mason looked at Ethan and was also a little surprised. His young master had a cold personality and a strong aura. He was famous for making children cry just at the sight of him. This child was really brave. Mason also admired this cute child a little more. He looked at the nervous and pale Vivian, who looked like David facing Goliath, and the trembling little girl who was hiding behind her. They looked so terrified, Mason guessed that maybe they had mistaken him and the young master for debt collectors or gangsters.
Like the type of people who would rough them up or break a few bones to send a message.
Mason looked at his young master, who was squatting in front of the 3. Lucas had a wickedly gleeful expression on his face, making their fears seem not without reason. He turned around and saw the bodyguards standing there. They were dressed in all black, which was indeed quite scary.
He adjusted his glasses and felt that it was necessary to explain the purpose of their visit today.
He cleared his throat and considered his words, thinking about how to ease the current situation. “Umm…”
Just as he was about to explain, the door was pushed open from the outside.
“Ethan, Sofia!”
Emily ran in anxiously and called for her children.
“Mommy!”
Hearing her voice, Ethan and Sofia ran over and threw themselves into her arms. Sofia was obviously frightened, she grabbed her mother’s clothes tightly and buried her face into her chest. Seeing that the two children were fine, Emily breathed a sigh of relief and hugged them tightly to comfort them. Vivian also ran over. Emily asked her, “Vivian, what’s going on? What happened?” Vivian looked at Lucas. Emily turned and met Lucas’ gaze.
