"Mummy, do we have to leave today?" Morgan and Theodore were woken up early by Aurora, who had
already packed their things and placed several suitcases at the door ready for them to leave.
Morgan lowered her head after asking the question, clearly unhappy. She didn't want to leave her dad
and mum behind. If she went back with Uncle Cameron today, she would never have a chance to see
her dad again.
"Well, you and your brother can go back first. Mummy will come to find you soon, okay?" Aurora
squatted in front of Morgan while gently combing through her hair.
"Mummy..." Theodore knew they had to leave too and wasn't in high spirits either. He didn't want to go
because Sion, the scumbag in his eyes, hadn't been dealt with yet. He might not have another chance.
"Very soon." Aurora hugged him tightly. "Mummy keeps promises."
After comforting the two children for a while, she stood up and looked at Cameron. "Cameron, you can
take them straight to the airport, I won't come with you."
Otherwise, if they refused to go later on when they got there it would be difficult for her.
"Okay." Cameron pulled the two kids towards him. "I'll be back soon."
Aurora nodded but stopped herself from saying anything else as he had already made it clear that he
wanted to stay in Lower Hopton with her because he was worried about her safety. If she was too
insistent, it would only dampen his mood further.
The kids reluctantly got into the car before waving goodbye half-heartedly at Aurora.
Aurora turned around. She couldn't bear to watch anymore until their car disappeared completely from
view. She took a deep breath and then stared blankly ahead of where it left towards its destination.
The two children had been sitting in the car quietly in the rear seats, looking dejected. Cameron
understood what was going through their minds but remained firm nonetheless.
After arriving at the airport, Cameron said something to comfort them. The plane was still undergoing
final checks, so Cameron took the two kids to the VIP lounge and started working on his computer. "I
need to work for a bit, don't wander off."
"Okay."
Morgan sat quietly in her chair watching cartoons, while Theodore couldn't shake off the feeling that
they shouldn't leave just yet. "Maybe Uncle Cameron can take Momo back home first?" Theodore
thought to himself.
His eyes lit up as he glanced over at Cameron and Mark, who were both busy with their tasks. He bent
down as if picking something up from the ground.
No one noticed him. Excitedly, he slipped behind a nearby seat and made his way out of the lounge
undetected.
He couldn't let Sion go like this.
Meanwhile, David carried their luggage as Sion walked briskly through security towards an arranged
meeting spot.
"Mr Carroll, everything is prepared, the contract is ready to sign." Said David. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
"We can make it back tonight," Sion said after checking his watch.
Neither of them noticed a small figure running towards them until Theodore was right in front of them
panting heavily.
"Morgan?" Sion exclaimed in disbelief before rushing forward to embrace her tightly. "I've been looking
everywhere for you!"
Theodore couldn't believe it. Why did this jerk think he was Morgan again?
"Where have you been these past few days? I've been trying to find you." Sion asked Theodore while
hugging him tightly.
"I..."
Theodore leaned on his shoulder, feeling anxious. His eyes rolled around as he spoke, "I ran out to
play and got lost. Luckily... luckily a kind uncle and aunt took me in."
He was just a kid, so it wasn't strange that he couldn't explain himself clearly.
Sion let go of him with a pained look in his eyes. "You got lost?" He looked Theodore up and down to
make sure there was nothing wrong with him before he breathed a sigh of relief. "How did you end up
at the airport?"
"Um..." Theodore felt guilty but still said, "I don't know. I don't know how I ended up here either. Daddy,
I'm afraid I'll get lost again."
Seeing the little guy's eyes turn red, Sion didn't want to press any further and pulled him into his arms
again.
"Don't worry, Daddy won't lose you again in the future."
This was his child; they would always be together from now on. Sion wouldn't let "Morgan" get lost
again.
Theodore calmed down by now and started plotting something in his mind.
Things happened to go as Theodore planned. Theodore feels excited.
Sion was immersed in joy after finding his "daughter" safe but didn't notice the mischievous glint in
Theodore's eyes as he picked him up and turned to David.
"You'll go over Sisland for me. Call me if there's anything." Sion instructed David while holding
Theodore tightly against herself.
David glanced at the boy and understood what his boss meant.
"Okay, Mr Carroll. Do you need a taxi?"
"No," Sion replied while grabbing his luggage from David's hand.
"I'll drive us home myself. Try your best not to come too late tonight."
"Okay."
As they left together, Sion noticed "Morgan"'s clothes were more gender-neutral than expected, which
reminded him of "her" previous outfit when going into the company. "Perhaps this style suits her
better?" Sion thought to himself and he could understand that, since Children were always
unpredictable.
"Are you hungry?" Sion asked worriedly while looking at Theodore closely, "If you're hungry we can go
eat first."
But Theodore shook his head frantically while saying, "We should go home first Daddy."
He was afraid that Uncle Cameron would find him here.
"Alright, let's go home," Sion said, smiling.
