To answer the questions in his head, Hiram decided to ask Nancy directly. "Miss Ning, isn't Mr. Fu with
you today?"
"Yes, but he said he has something to deal with this afternoon." Of course, Nancy couldn't tell him that
Charles went out for a drink with Brandy.
It was more like a date when a man and a woman drank alone. If she told him this, then it would just
lead to more questions.
"I went to the office after I took the kids to the kindergarten today, but I haven't heard about some
important stuff that Mr. Fu needs to deal with personally. Is it an emergency?" With this thought, Hiram
felt a little nervous.
After all, it was his responsibility to protect Charles. If something happened to him, Hiram would be
liable.
"It's okay, Hiram. Charles is busy with his personal affairs." When she spotted Nadia and Bobby
running out hand in hand, Nancy quickly changed the topic. "It has nothing to do with you. Look, the
kids are out."
Instinctively, Hiram turned around and waived at the kids. "Bobby, Nadia, this way."
Their eyes lit up when they saw Nancy standing next to Hiram. They shouted at the same time as they
ran towards her. "Wow! Mommy’s here. Are you feeling better now?"
Last night, the two kids were sleeping so soundly that they didn’t notice their parents had left.
That was why Nadia panicked when she didn't see them in the master's bedroom when she woke up
this morning.
In a daze, Nadia rubbed her eyes and murmured to herself, "Where are Daddy and Mommy?"
Fear slowly crept into her when she didn't find them in every room in the house.
"Bobby, Mommy and Daddy are missing. Did they abandon us?" For an insecure child like Nadia, the
first thought that came up in her mind when she didn't see her parents was that they probably
abandoned them.
This thought made Nadia burst into tears, which woke Bobby up. He slowly opened his eyes and
asked, "Nadia, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"It's not nonsense. It's true. Daddy and Mommy are missing!" As she spoke, Nadia ran into his room.
Bobby sat up and looked at Nadia with a cold face. "What do you mean by they’re missing?"
"Daddy and Mommy are not here. There are only two of us at home now." Another batch of tears fell
from her eyes.
Finally, Bobby slipped off the bed and gave his full attention to Nadia. "Daddy and Mommy were both
here last night, and now they're gone?"
"Were they taken away by bad guys?"
"Nadia, why do you have such a wide imagination?" The moment Bobby walked to the master's
bedroom, he immediately noticed the note Charles posted on the door. "They didn't abandon us.
Mommy is sick, so Daddy took her to the hospital."
"Are we going to the hospital too?" Although she felt relieved that their parents didn’t abandon them,
Nadia was still anxious when she heard that Nancy was brought to the hospital. "Why did Mommy
suddenly get sick?"
"We are not going to the hospital. As for Mommy's sudden illness... It happens to everyone. Don’t worry
too much," Bobby said lazily.
"Since they are not at home, who will drive us to the kindergarten?"
"Nadia, you are so silly. No one will drive us to the kindergarten... Which means, we won’t go there. Go
back to your room and close your eyes. Do you understand?" Thinking that they didn't need to go to
school, Bobby couldn't help but smile. He was in a good mood when he went back to his room to sleep
again.
However, Nadia followed him and shouted, "I don't want to sleep, Bobby!"
"If you don't want to sleep, you can make breakfast for me. I'll sleep." As soon as his back touched the
soft mattress, Bobby closed his eyes.
It was great that their parents weren't home. No one was supposed to wake him up, but to his
annoyance, Nadia did. They didn’t have to go to school, but the little fool woke up early and even
disturbed him too.
Bobby put his arms under the quilt and murmured, "I want to sleep. I want to sleep."
With a scowl on her face, Nadia walked out and went to the living room. She sat on the sofa and
thought about what Bobby said. "I don't want to make breakfast. I can't make it..."
She turned on the TV and watched for a while. But being alone made her too lonely and bored.
Even her favorite cartoon became boring.
So Nadia ran into Bobby's room again and pinched his face with her little hand. "Bobby, get up. Don't
act like a pig. The teacher said that it's good for us to go to bed early and get up early!"
"Nadia, don't bother me! I want to sleep. If you don't want to sleep, you can play by yourself. It's rare for
us to be home alone. We can't go to the kindergarten. What are you doing?" Annoyed, Bobby turned
over and grabbed his quilt to cover his head.
"I don't want you to sleep. I just want you to play with me. Don’t sleep, Bobby!" Then she scratched
Bobby’s head which annoyed him more.
"Ah! Nadia, you are so annoying. You are more annoying than flies and mosquitoes. Get out! Get out!"
In the end, Bobby jumped off the bed and pushed Nadia out of his room.
As soon as he went back inside his room, he quickly locked the door.
"Now I can finally have a good sleep," said Bobby.
However, not long after he closed his eyes, Nadia began pounding on his door.
"Bobby, if you don't play with me, I won't let you sleep. Get up quickly!"
What Nadia was doing made his head ache. "Are you done now?"
Still knocking on his door with her small fists, Nadia shouted back, "No! I'll keep knocking on your door
until you get up."
It was so noisy that Bobby almost went crazy.
He covered his whole body with the quilt, but even so, he could still hear the knock on the door.
"Nadia, you little bastard! Stop making noise!" Bobby shouted angrily.
Instead of listening to him, Nadia knocked on his door even more.
Just then, she heard a car stop in the courtyard.
This made Nadia smile arrogantly. "Bobby, Daddy and Mommy must be back. If you don't get up,
Daddy will be very angry."
In a hurry, Bobby jumped off the bed and changed his clothes. "Why did Dad and Mom come back so
soon? I haven’t even got back to sleep yet."
To their surprise, it was Hiram who came in with a fast food box in his arms.
Putting the box on the table, he urged, "You two have breakfast quickly. After breakfast, I'll drive you to
the kindergarten."
"Uncle Hiram," the two kids said at the same time.
"Why are you surprised? Your Daddy and Mommy went to the hospital. Didn't you know that? Now that
you have known it, why don't you eat now? I'm telling you, your parents don't have time to send you to
the kindergarten today. Whether you want it or not, I'll drive you there." Hiram didn't feel any distance
from Bobby and Nadia. Of course, nor did the two children.
