Chapter 216 Getting Mommy to Come Home

Jason was suddenly silent.

While Bianca took out the plates and cutlery from the cupboard, she asked, "Is everything OK, Mr. Doyle?

Can you hear me?"

One minute passed, then two minutes...

Jason did not make a sound...

The other colleagues had all woken up. Several people were doing chores in the courtyard. Joe was watering the plants and was rambling on, "I saw from the weather report that it'll be turning cold from Wednesday on. These pots need to be brought indoors. Is anyone willing to take two? Otherwise, I'll be bringing them all into my room."

It was noisy outside. Bianca could not hear any sound from the other end of the phone.

On the third minute, Bianca decided that she would end the call. Perhaps the reception was bad, or perhaps Jason was busy with work.

Suddenly, Jason spoke. He sounded especially clear.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Rayne. The reception was bad earlier," Jason explained.

"It's fine. I thought that was the case. I was about to hang up." Bianca handed the plates and cutlery to another colleague.

The female colleague brought the plates and cutlery away to the communal table.

"What did you say earlier, Ms. Rayne? I didn't hear it." Jason had heard it clearly, but he deliberately asked another time.

Bianca was very worried that the children's father was passively abusing them. She repeated, "I said... I'm afraid that he has a bad temper and might throw a tantrum on the children."

Jason wondered why Bianca was so concerned about the boss's children.

Of course, that was a private matter between his boss and his woman. He was only an assistant, and he was only doing what his boss told him. "Let me be honest, Ms. Rayne. I really don't know whether Mr. Crawford threw a tantrum on the children after we got back to A City, but I've heard..."

Jason suddenly paused.

"What did you hear?" Bianca's heart jumped to her throat.

Jason continued, "Boss received a dinner invitation after he got back yesterday. He left the two children in the apartment, and no one was around to take care of them. At dinner time, Lanie brought his sister down with some money to buy something to eat. The security guard outside the neighborhood saw them but did not stop them. Ever since they left the apartment, we didn't hear any news of them..."
