Hmmph! To agree to meet with a man so easily, I really doubt her pureness. "If you're anxious, go find them yourself." Dempsey did not know what got to him, he spread his arms out, as though he will do nothing to help her.
"You... This is too rude of you!" Claire is so angry that she felt like cursing. She stood up, turned around, and picked a random direction to run out of. She would find her children herself, even if she needs to turn the whole place upside down.
Dempsey looked in the direction that Claire run to, and his thin lips curved into a smirk. She really intend to look for the children on her own. 'What an idiot!'
Once Claire walked out of the living room, she immediately felt as if she had walked out into a huge and mysterious palace. 'Heavens! Who would set up their own home to be like a mystery place--like a labyrinth? This is too abnormal! Just like that bastard's character,' Claire thought. Since she had already escaped, she would never go back and beg him for help. She could only grit her teeth in anger. As she ran forward, she yelled out the names of her son and daughter, however, no matter how much she shouted, she couldn't hear their response. She couldn't help but panic. 'It's over!' Aside from losing her children, it seems like she also got lost. Claire was determined to not give up and walk a little further. Her throat is already sore and her legs are numb, but she still did not see even a single strand of hair of her children. She leaned against a white jade pillar in frustration and slowly slid down to squat. Wiping her face with both her hands, she looked exactly like she had suffered a setback. The sight of her is enough to elicit people for taking pity for her. "Frank, Emma, where are you? Hurry and to Mummy. Mummy misses you." She sobbed softly, like a child.
Dempsey stood alone on another room upstairs, both hands inside his trousers, looking out the window. In the distance, he saw the woman who is curled up into a ball beside a pillar. Her narrow shoulders slightly trembling, and she's visibly crying. He sighed. 'Are all women's lacrimal ducts well-developed? Crying all the time. What a bunch of emotional creatures!' He thought as he disdain the act. At first. he didn't want to bother with her, but then, he thought of what he told the children earlier. He promised them that he will not bully their mother. If she cried until her eyes are swollen, no matter how young the child is, they would be able to tell that something happened between him and Claire. Thinking about this, Dempsey went down and walked towards where Claire is. As if he's looking at a pitiful puppy, he used his foot to lightly kick her leg and said, "Stand up. I'll bring you to them."
"Really?" Her face that looked like a pitiful puppy just a moment ago, now shone like the brightest star. She immediately sprang up from the floor, and it's obvious that she's desperate. When she suddenly heard that he was willing to help, the feelings of joy rushed into her brain, forgetting that he was the cause of everything. and forgetting how despicable and shameless the man is,
Dempsey furrowed his brows. He could not understand what the woman has inside her head, It was just him showing her the way to her children, and yet, she showed her brightest smile. Of course, it was only for a short time.
Claire immediately adjusted her facial expressions. Her face tensed up again. She felt foolish about herself. Why would she be grateful at the man who is about to steal her children?
"Follow me." Dempsey strode forward, big strides heading down the corridor.
Although Claire's legs were tired, she still quickly followed behind him. Her heart is set on taking the twins with her. It was unknown if the man was doing it on purpose, but he suddenly stopped walking. Claire was somewhat blindly following him as she's still thinking of the kids, so she didn't notice his abrupt stop. Naturally, she did not have time to stop and directly crushed into the man's broad back. Her nose hurt from the impact.
'Is this man's body made of iron? Why is it so hard?' Claire thought as she rubbed her nose with her finger,
