Her Seven Little Bodyguards

Chapter 347

Chapter 350

"Okay."

The two children bowed their heads again.

When Melanie spotted the expressions on their faces, she realized that things had gone a little sour.

Instantly, she reached over to set the food out in front of them and said, "Hurry up and eat. If it's not enough, we can order more."

Just a simple and somewhat caring sentence like that was enough to make the boys happy. They nodded and said, "Okay."

"Dig in." Melanie eked out an insincere smile.

"Mmhmm!" The boys began to eat with relish.

Now that they stopped talking, Melanie thoroughly enjoyed the moment of peace and quiet.

To her dismay, the children were itching to go back out and play, so they scarfed their food down at maximum speed and finished the entire meal in under 20 minutes.

Morales stood up and stared out the door. "Mommy, can we go on the other rides now?"

Melanie pulled a long face. "You two just finished eating so you need to sit a while before going back out to play, or your tummies will hurt."

"Let's wait here for ten minutes then, okay?" Morgan tried to strike a deal.

"You need to sit for at least half an hour."

"Huh?" That long? The boys fell limply back down into their seats.

They cupped their faces with their hands and stared out the window like they were a couple of birds inside a cage.

The half-hour wait felt like an eternity to them.

It was hard for young children to sit still.

The two boys were even more restless as Melanie was focused on her phone and did not bother to entertain them at all.

"Mommy, we'll go out and play by ourselves, okay?" Morales and Morgan really could not bear to sit still any longer.

Melanie's expression hardened as she set her phone down.

What would she do if something happened when they went out by themselves?

She could not shoulder such responsibility, so she stretched lazily and said, "Fine, let's go out and play."

"Yay! Mommy, let's go." The boys ran off at once.

Melanie followed behind them slowly, reluctant to stick close to them.

For all the remaining rides and attractions, she waited for them outside without joining in.

Just then, she got a call from Hanson.

Melanie felt a jolt of excitement as she quickly answered the call. "Hanson…"

Before she could even finish her sentence, Hanson's frosty voice cut her off. "Bring Morales and Morgan back at once."
