"I'm too old for this, I can't keep going," Aunt Charlotte said on the phone.
Alice helplessly held her forehead, feeling dizzy with anxiety.
She didn't want to trouble Aunt Charlotte any further, "Okay, I understand..."
After hanging up, Alice sat weakly on the edge of the bed, her mind in chaos.
What should she do if the child came over? Could she go pick them up? What if Adam found out?
It was even more dangerous to keep the child with her! She had no chance of winning against Adam in a custody battle!
With Adam's hatred towards her, it was very likely that he would take the child away and not even give her a chance to see them!
But who could help her now?
Someone had to go to the airport to pick up the child!
Her aunt couldn't do it, and neither could Ethan...
Alice suddenly thought of another person…In the middle of the night, Alice left through the back door of the apartment and took a taxi straight to Mia's place.
She knocked on the door loudly.
Mia was startled awake and was surprised when she saw Alice, "You... why are you here?"
"Mom, please help me. Only you can help me now..." Alice cried.
She had always been strong, but now she cried like a child in front of Mia.
After entering the house, Alice told Mia about the child, and Mia was shocked and couldn't believe it.
"I know I was wrong, but the child is innocent... Mom, can you help me pick up the child? They are also your grandchildren!" Alice said. "Just ten days, and I'll leave with the child once I get the passport!"
"Why don't you ask your aunt for help?" Mia asked.
"The man in the bar is actually... my aunt's stepson. He hates my aunt and wants me dead. If he finds out about the children, I'm done for!" Alice didn't understand why she had to ask her aunt for help when Mia was her biological mother.
The situation was so absurd that they didn't dare to see Mia's reaction.Mia was indeed shocked.
What's going on...
"What time is the flight arriving?" Mia asked, loosening her grip.
"Aren't you going to help me, Mom?" Alice was surprised.
"How can I not help? What about the child if no one goes to pick them up?" Mia had to agree.
The plane was arriving at four o'clock.
Around the same time, a black Rolls-Royce came out of the Dragon Group parking lot and entered the traffic flow, heading towards the airport.
Towards the VIP channel, Adam answered the phone and walked steadily forward.
There were all kinds of shops on both sides of the channel.
Adam glanced casually and saw three cute little kids pressing against the glass, looking at all kinds of dolls inside.
"So many dolls..." Lily's eyes lit up.
"I have a cool knife!" Isaac raised the knife in his hand.
"Oh," Kevin, wearing a duckbill cap, responded nonchalantly."Shall we go?" A law enforcement officer pulled one of them and said.
The three little ones turned their heads and followed.
Behind them, Adam had just entered the VIP room.
The three little cuties were arranged in the police station.
When Mia went in, she saw the three children sitting in a row, each holding a bottle of milk to drink. The law enforcement officers had turned into "milk dads" and were talking to the children with rare tenderness on their faces.
"Sorry to trouble you." Mia apologized. "I am the children's grandmother."
"It's okay. These three children are so smart and cute!" The law enforcement officer said, "In view of their running away from home, I have taught them a lesson and they won't do it again! Parents should also play a role in taking care of them!"
"Okay, thank you, and sorry for the trouble!"
The three little cuties looked at Mia, blinking their big eyes, seeming unfamiliar with their "grandmother."
Isaac jumped off the chair with his short legs and asked, "Are you really our grandmother?""Why didn't Mom come?"
"Where is Mom?"
Mia looked at these three little dolls, and fell in love with them at first sight.
Especially when she saw the girl, she looked exactly like Alice when she was a child.
But her son didn't look like them; he should look like their father...
She took the little hands of the children and held them tightly in her palms. They were so soft. She said, "Mommy is waiting for you at home. You'll be able to see her when you go back."
Alice was anxiously waiting at home, standing up and sitting down, feeling nervous.
She really couldn't imagine how three children could take a plane to Star City by themselves, and none of the adults around them noticed anything wrong!
They were only two years old!!
The sound of the lock opening came from the door, and the door opened. Three little heads rushed in eagerly and saw Alice. They ran towards her excitedly.
"Mommy!""Mommy!"
"Mommy!"
Alice went forward and hugged their soft little bodies tightly in her arms. Tears welled up in her eyes, and her emotions were almost overwhelming. "Mommy misses you so much..."
"We miss Mommy too!"
"So we came to find Mommy!"
"We really found Mommy!"
The tears of the three little ones flowed out, and they snuggled into their mother's arms, feeling pitiful and wronged.
Alice's heart was about to break. She couldn't handle all three of them, so she sat down on the ground.
"Let Mommy take a look at you..." After her emotions stabilized a bit, Alice opened her arms to take a look at the children. She wanted to see if they were okay. Half a month had felt like a year to her. "Lily, is your body feeling better?"
"I'm all better now that I've seen Mommy!" Lily sniffled and looked very happy.
Alice broke into tears of joy and hugged and kissed her children. The scent of milk finally calmed her worried heart after all these days.
"Did you call grandma?" Alice suddenly remembered to ask.
"We did!" The triplets snuggled in their mother's arms, two of them holding onto her neck, and they answered in unison.
"I know, it's mom's mom!" Lily was quick-witted.
"Yes." Alice glanced at her mother, hesitated for a moment, and said to the children, "You guys will stay with grandma for now. Mommy has to work. As soon as work is done, mommy will come over, okay?"
"No!"
"No!"
"No!" The triplets hugged their mother even tighter, as if she would disappear if they let go.
"Be good and listen to mommy, okay? Mommy has to finish her work now. In a week, mommy will take you back." Alice couldn't bear it.
But she had to bear it.
"I don't want mommy to leave!" Isaac was unhappy and domineering."Don't go, mommy!"
"Don't leave mommy..." Lily sniffled, tears welling up in her eyes.
Alice comforted them, "Mommy won't leave. Mommy is in Star City now, and it's very close, unlike before when mommy had to take a plane."
The triplets didn't say anything, they just threw themselves into their mother's arms and clung to her clothes, sobbing.
Before dawn, Alice stayed with the three children, telling them to listen to their grandmother and not to run around. She also made it clear that they were not allowed to run out alone again. After coaxing the children to sleep, Alice kissed their chubby little faces one by one, feeling extremely heartbroken. How did they manage to stay awake during the long journey?
After kissing them for a while, Alice reluctantly left the room. "Mom, there's money in this card. Can you use it to buy some diapers and milk powder for the kids? They need them when they sleep." Although she was their biological mother, Alice still felt embarrassed.
"Why are you giving this to me? I have money to buy diapers and milk powder," Mia refused.
"I'm their mother, and I should be the one paying for these things.""You said I'm their grandmother. What's the big deal with grandmothers buying things for their grandchildren?"
