Chapter 264

When the man heard my words, it seemed to have struck a nerve in him as he stepped back weakly. Nicholas, who had always been a strong person, looked at me with reddened eyes. I felt upset and said, "You have crossed the line!"

He was pushing my limits!

Seeing how upset I was, he quickly lowered his voice and cooed, saying, "Let's deal with the matter in front of us first, okay, Ree?"

What he meant was my children.

Hearing his words, I quickly ran away, and he followed me. When I was about to get into the car, he called out to me, "Ree."

However, I ignored him and drove away. After a few minutes, I stopped by the roadside and called Benedict. When he didn't pick up the call, I quickly rushed back to the villa and looked for Joseph. Then, the both of us arrived at the villa on the hill via helicopter.

As usual, Nicholas' villa was still lively. The children were playing together, but I didn't see the twins. Perhaps they are inside the house, I thought.

As I walked closer to the building nervously, the nanny noticed and approached me while holding an infant. Then, she said, "This is Scorpio."

The child was only about four months old.

"Where's Leo?" I pursed my lips and asked dryly.

"I'm not sure. After I came back from the New Year's holiday, I didn't see either Leo or Leonard. I asked Madam Yates, and she told me that they're living with their parents at this moment," the nanny explained.

Hearing her words, I felt my heart tremble. Their parents…

"Are they in Ashere?" I asked hurriedly.

"I'm not sure," replied the nanny as she shook her head.

"Is Old Master Yates at home?" I asked frantically.

Knowing that Leo and Leonard were my children, I was delighted and wanted to meet them as soon as possible. I want to hug them, caress their faces, squeeze their tiny hands, and breastfeed them as mothers do. Breastfeed… I can't do it anymore, though. I don't even have the right to breastfeed them. Thinking about it, I felt devastated.

"No, Old Master Yates is still in Ashere."

Since I couldn't contact him at the moment, I couldn't ask about my children's whereabouts. Hence, I asked again, "Where is Madam Yates? Is she at home?"

"She'll be here by tomorrow."

However, I couldn't wait until the next day since I knew about them. As such, I turned around and ordered Joseph, "Prepare to go to Ashere."

By the time I arrived at Ashere with Joseph, it was already nighttime. Benedict was having his dinner when I came to Yates Residence and asked for him. Seeing me there, he looked confused, so I asked straightforwardly where my children were. When he heard my words, he replied hesitantly, "They are not here."

My heart shook when I heard his answer. "Where are they, then?" Nothing happened to them, right?













































"They were taken away by Shawn's men a week ago," replied Benedict.

Hearing his words, I was dumbstruck and asked, "What's that supposed to mean?" Did Shawn know about their existence all along? If so, why didn't he tell me anything? He knows that I care a lot about them!

"The kids are at Shawn's place," said Benedict.

When I snapped back to my senses, I said, "Thank you."

Although I was unsure why Nicholas would let the Yates raise my children, I had to thank Benedict for helping me raise my children for such a long time. Moreover, he even told me about their whereabouts.

With that, Joseph and I left the Yates Residence in a hurry. When we were on the helicopter, he told me about Shawn's whereabouts. "Mr. Xenos is at the villa in Espoo."

Why is he in Finland again? Well, he does spend most of his time in Finland.

"Is he there alone?" I asked.

"I'm not sure. I only know so much," replied Joseph.

Since I was still traumatized by Colin's kidnapping, I was on high alert and asked Joseph to be cautious.

Five hours had passed by the time we got to the villa in Espoo, Finland. Given the time difference, it was still the same hour I went looking for Benedict.

The fact that Finland wasn't snowing was rare, and the lights in Shawn's villa were on. The men who guarded the front door were the same ones sent to protect me by the Xenos. Although I was hesitant to step forward, I missed my children dearly. Thus, I braved myself and knocked on the door, but no one replied. I knew that Shawn was ignoring me at this moment.

After thinking for a while, I sent a text to Kevin.

'Can you add me into the group chat, Kev?' I wrote.

Kev replied, 'Why have you changed your mind?'

'Please, Kev!' I responded.

Then, Kevin invited me into the group, and I sent a text in the group to Shawn. 'The weather in Finland is kind of cold, Sunny.'
