"Mark, this man, Robert, doesn't take our warning seriously."
Mia was mad as they looked at the tracer they had on their mother's phone. Why can't Robert just let their mother go? Isn't he worried that his company has been hacked?
"Why are you getting mad? He may have just received the news now. You know a company as big as he's must make sure about their facts before informing the boss."
Mark is very confident in his hacking skills. He will release all the company's secrets if Robert doesn't let their mother go. Mark was sure Robert wouldn't allow that, seeing those computers had important files.
The two children had just stopped talking when they saw Emily's tracker begin to move.
"Let's see if Mommy is coming home."
Mark has more important things to do. His mother had suddenly sent them to this crazy woman's house. Something must have happened. He was unsure whether he and his sister were safe, so he had to find out what scared his mother. She usually won't allow them to talk to a stranger, let alone allow them to stay in their house, which is why he wanted to find out about the relationship between Robert and his mother.
"Don't worry about it. If we lose the location, I will find it again."
The two of them cooperated, not once or twice, but they already understood hacking together.
They knew that as long as their mother was not far from home, there wasn't any need to call the police.
Mark didn't expect it to come in handy when they came here. Emily didn't know what her children were up to.
"Send someone to keep an eye on her. I want to know her exact address and everything about her."
Robert wasn't going to let go of Emily. He ordered his best man to follow her without her realizing.
She thought Robert had given up when he let her out. After all, she didn't believe Robert had feelings for her. When they were together, he didn't show any affection toward her. Emily died many years ago; why can't he just let go?
After leaving the house, Emily felt sad. Why does he have to fake his love for her in front of others?
If he genuinely had feelings for her, he wouldn't have had a relationship with Anna behind her back, and he wouldn't allow Anna to have that much power in their house.
Even the staff members at that time worshipped the ground Anna walked on. They did nothing when Anna belittled her or slapped her around. The servants were on Anna's side because of her status, and she, who was Emily, was nothing but a fly under their feet.
"Mark, Mommy is almost here."
Mark heard his sister's warning and quickly put away his laptop. Their mother wanted them to grow up like normal children who play outside or with toys. She doesn't like it when they play on phones or laptops.
"Aunt Lola's place is like a prison; we can't do anything here."
The two children had more free time back at Michel Platini's place. They could do anything they wanted there, unlike here, where they can't go out.
They think Lola is a crazy woman and wonder how they can get their mother to take them back home. This is a big problem they can't solve.
"What else can we do? Mommy won't send us back until she finishes her work here."
Mark knows his mother quite well and knows that her relationship with Michel Platini is only an act of husband and wife.
However, compared with his biological father, whom he had never met, he liked Michel Platini. No matter who Michel Platini was to them, there was nothing he could find that he didn't like. He was at least responsible.
"We can start to solve the problem Mommy seems to have. Who or what made her worry about our safety?" Mia wondered, looking at her brother.
"It must have something to do with Robert. His family business is big, but what does it have to do with Mom?" Mark asked. It's the only thing he can think of.
Robert and Emily didn't have a big wedding when they got married. At that time, Emily's family was in trouble. They ordered her to marry Robert to save their business. Robert kept his promise to marry Emily even against his family's wishes, but no one dared to stop him from keeping his promise. At the moment, Mark can't find any evidence that the two of them are still together. Well, according to the files on the computer.
Mark's system has started to warn them that Emily is within five minutes of them.
"Well, let's not discuss this now. Let's see what Mom says later."
When the brother and sister ended their discussion, they began to do their own things. Mark returned to the Legos he had played with before and continued to finish his work.
Mia also took out her book and continued to read it. However, she was not very interested in the content.
Emily was scared by Robert's sudden appearance; otherwise, she wouldn't be in a hurry to go home and ensure the children were alright. When she entered the apartment, she saw both children concentrating on doing their own things and sighed in relief.
Robert already has a son. She really regrets it now. She shouldn't have promised to come back in the first place.
This hospital is one of many she can work at, even if she wants to return to Los Angeles. She would have stayed in China if she had known about all of this.
"Mark, Mia, how long has Aunt Lola been out?"
Lola is a well-known writer, and Emily lets her children live here temporarily because she needs to go to the hospital whenever they need her. She can't leave her children alone, especially now that she has run into Robert.
"Less than two hours; it seems to be a work matter, something about publishing, and Aunt Lola says she will return before dinner."
