Chapter 259

Whitney was on the brink of panic.

Her little Sammy, only three and a half years old, had somehow managed to board an international flight all by himself and sneak back home. The kid was too smart for his own good, making him quite the troublemaker.

She dashed across the backyard, heading towards the driveway.

“Mommy?” A cool little voice uttered the syllables.

His delicate hands pushed her away.

Whitney frowned slightly,

The little guy stepped back warily, eyeing her curiously from head to toe, then said with certainty yet politely, “Lady, I don’t know you! You’re so pretty. Are you a kidnapper?”
