S31 73. Barbara in Danger

A few moments passed. While waiting for Sean, Philip kept contacting Barbara. The twins were also worried when they saw him.

“Uncle Philip, what actually happened? Why do we have to go home early?” Louis inquired as he lifted and dropped the small backpack on

his back.

Philip lowered the phone from his ear. Seeing the wrinkles on the toddlers’ eyebrows, he stopped in his uneasy moves.

“Does it have anything to do with the Moore family?” Emily asked before Philip could respond, leaving the man caught in a dilemma.

Not getting an answer, Emily finally bowed her head. While touching the floor with the tip of her shoe, she muttered, “Please be honest, Uncle Philip. We are not ordinary children. We have been trained by Daddy to be braver and stronger.”

“Yes, we have also been taught how to strategize. We are no longer afraid of the enemy.” Louis puffed out his cheeks and furrowed his brows, trying to look tough.

Philip nodded. “Yes, because of that, we have to be more careful. It will be safer if you just learn from home.”

“Could it be that the enemy launched an attack here? But we’re still too young,” Emily pursed her lips.

“How could they have the heart to hurt us? We are cute and sweet children. They must be really cruel.” Louis nodded with narrowed eyes.

“So now, shall we go straight home? Not to the office?” Emily looked up waiting for an answer.

Philip pondered for a moment. “Sorry, Louis, Emily. I have other things to do. The one who will escort you home later is Sean.”

Instead of being disappointed, the twins were beaming.

“Sean will pick us up?”
