“Hurry, run! The bad guy is going to eat us up!”
As Trevor was tugging at Faye, Asher suddenly grabbed Faye and ran away.
He led his siblings and slipped into the crowd.
“Mommy said we should stay away from this bad guy. Otherwise, he’ll arrest us. We’ll never
get to see Mommy again,” he thought to himself.
“Mr. Gulliford, they—”
“They aren’t my children,” Trevor replied grimly as he snapped out of his reverie.
Staring at the kids’ backs, he pulled out his phone to call someone to escort the kids to a
safe place.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Gulliford,” Natalie apologized. “They really look like you, so I—”
“Arrange for someone to send them home.”
“Got it, Mr. Gulliford.”
In the break room, Jessica had barely regained her voice when she heard the servers talking
outside.

“That’s utter nonsense. They aren’t Mr. Gulliford’s kids. What if Mr. Gulliford overhears you?
Do you have a death wish?”
“They are practically mini-versions of Mr. Gulliford! How could they not be his children?”
“The kids and Mr. Gulliford made it clear that they aren’t related. There are plenty of people
who look like each other in this world who are not related to each other.”
In the break room, Jessica felt her heart skip a beat when she heard the contents of their
conversation. There could be many kids who resemble Trevor, but if four kids who
resembled Trevor appeared together, they could only be her kids.
“I’ll have to find them now,” she thought.
Jessica limped out of the break room and asked around, but no one knew where the kids
went.
Trevor and Jessica’s men were searching the twentieth floor, but the kids were nowhere to
be seen. If the children were in a place with surveillance cameras, they would’ve found the
children by now.
There was only one place in Cerulean without any surveillance cameras.
Jessica increased her speed and limped toward the stairway.
When the kids saw Jessica pushing the door open, they scrambled over to her and greeted
her obediently.
“Why are you here?” Jessica asked gently.
She had no idea why the kids would come to Cerulean.
“Asher tracked your phone’s location with his laptop. We miss you and decided to come to
visit you,” Faye responded obediently.
She was the youngest of the bunch and never lied. Thus, she ratted Asher out without
thinking much.
Asher hung his head low and kicked at the ground anxiously. He was afraid that Jessica
would punish him.
Deep down, he thought miserably, “I missed Mommy too much, so…”

“Mommy, I’m sorry. I won’t do it again,” Asher promised.
“Good. I’ll send you back home now. Oh, remember to keep our relationship a secret. Don’t
let anyone find out that I’m your mommy,” Jessica reminded them.
The kids bobbed their heads.
Despite not knowing why she asked them to do so, they would definitely listen to her words.
They were on the twentieth floor, so it was impossible for them to climb down the stairs.
Jessica led them to the eighteenth floor carefully before taking the elevator to the first floor.
Monica received Jessica’s call a while ago and was already waiting at Cerulean’s entrance.
Jessica could finally heave a sigh of relief after the kids left with Monica.
She whipped her head around and promptly bumped into a chest.
The familiar scent made her heart skip a beat. Lifting her head, she saw Trevor’s handsome
face mere inches away from her.
His brows knitted together as he stared at her with his deep, dark eyes.
“Do you know the children?” he inquired icily.
