No way, there was another kid at home?!
Elijah gasped!
He came out of the room and saw Rita crying loudly by the stairs!
It was Violette's daughter!
When did her daughter come over?
He didn't know at all!
Was the most advanced security system in this house just for show to them?
Oh, he suddenly remembered that the home network system was just repaired two hours ago.
Rita was wearing a rabbit-shaped children's backpack, holding a rabbit doll in one hand and carefully holding the stair railing with the other while sobbing.
Elijah followed her, and she didn't notice.
The housemaids stood at the first-floor staircase with shocked expressions, looking at the little girl who appeared out of nowhere!
"No... my mom must have left... I cried so loudly... she didn't come to find me... No!"
Rita's crying sounded like a train starting up; it’s i
n bursts, very rhythmic.
"Are you Violette's daughter?" Lacey walked to Rita and carried her downstairs.
Rita's eyes were red: "Did my mom and brother leave?"
"Yeah! They left hours ago. When did you come? How come we didn't see you come in?" Lacey sat Rita down on the sofa and wiped her tears with a tissue.
This little girl was really pretty, looking a lot like Violette.
Clearly she was Violette's biological daughter.
But
Lacey didn't dare to ask about the child's father...
.
Elijah must have figured it out already.
"I came in when nobody was around... I've been here for a long time... I came to find my mom! I miss her so much..." Rita sniffed pitifully, "Why didn't they call me when they left? Uncle Mike knew I was here..."
