Slowly, Stanley narrowed his eyes as he looked at the little boy in front of him. What a protective child! Even though his childish voice didn't have much of a threat, it was still very nice of him to have the intention of protecting his sister.
Meanwhile, when Sadie saw it was her brother, she was overjoyed and asked, "Seamus, where is mom?"
However, the little boy glared at her. "You still remember your mother? She has been searching high and low for you, and she almost called the police to ask Uncle Han to come over!"
When the little girl heard her brother, she shrugged her shoulders and uttered, "I... I didn't mean to hide. Seamus, don't be angry..."
With her timid voice and teary eyes, the little girl seemed to be very pitiful. When the little boy saw that, he held back her anger. Then, he took the little girl's hand and said to her, "Then come with me, or Mommy will be anxious!"
"No, I don't want to go back..." Instantly, the little girl shook his hand away. "Seamus, the medicine tastes bitter. I don't want to go back."
"Pft..."
The moment the assistant who stood at the side heard her words, he suddenly laughed. Only then did he understand why the little girl was here alone. It turned out that she was afraid of taking medicine, so she secretly went away to hide and somehow bumped into Mr. Warner.
For a moment, he really thought that she was Mr. Warner's illegitimate daughter!
Instantly, the little boy looked up and glared at him. "Why are you laughing?"
With dark and deep eyes, he was glaring at the assistant. Although the little boy was only around the age of three, when he stared at people with a stern face like that, he still looked a bit dignified. At that moment, the assistant took a step back, pursed his lips, and didn't say anything.
As an adult, he shouldn't try to pick a fight with a child.
After the little boy snorted, he took the little girl's hand and wanted to leave. "Sadie, don't be disobedient. Mommy almost cried when she was trying to look for you."
When the little girl heard that her mother was crying, she panicked. But when she remembered that she had to go back and take her medicine, she was so timid that she refused to leave, so she stood frozen for a while. At that moment, she did not know whether or not she should return, and she was confused. Finally, as if she figured something out, she turned and threw herself into the arms of Stanley and cried loudly, "Daddy, I don't want to take medicine. It is too bitter!"
Instantly, the little girl fell into his arms and cried her heart out. With a sigh, Stanley raised his hand to caress her head gently and said, "Okay. Your mother won't force you."
Once the little girl heard his words, she stopped crying and smiled. As soon as she broke away from his arms, she went to grab her brother's hand and said, "Seamus, let's go tell mom that Daddy is back."
When the little boy heard his sister's words, he raised his head to look at Stanley's face. Just now, he had been so focused on his sister that he didn't even notice anyone else. But now, he realized that his sister was hugging a stranger and addressing him as their father...
As far as he knew, their father had gone somewhere else a few years ago, and their mother had been looking for him since then, but she couldn't find him...
Earlier, he thought it was a bad guy who was trying to kidnap his sister. However, when he looked up and saw Stanley's face, his eyes lit up. Still a little uncertain, he asked, "Are you really our father?"
This stranger looked the same as their father in the photo that their mother showed them.
That question made Stanley raise his eyebrows slightly. At first, the little girl had mistaken him for their father, but now her brother was also acting the same?
But this little boy seemed to be much more mature and sensible than this little girl, and he didn't look like a child who would get the wrong person.
Could it be that... he really looked like their father?
After a moment of silence, Stanley lowered his head and looked at the two children, "Where are your parents?"
Just as the little girl was about to open her mouth to answer Stanley, the little boy pulled her over to him and looked at Stanley suspiciously, "Why should I tell you?"
The little boy was quite vigilant.
