Their expressions darkened at the same time, and their eyes were full of disappointment.
Alden pursed his pink lips.
He had already felt that something was wrong when he heard his mom speak during breakfast.
Melody had never received any treatment in any institution, and he had never enrolled in any early
education class either. His mom was clearly deceiving his grandma when she said those words.
He thought his mom wanted to go abroad to handle some personal affairs, so he quietly corroborated his
mom‘s story.
But his mommy was actually saying that she was not leaving now.
Did that mean his mommy had tried her best to lie just to send the four of them away?
Why?
Adina‘s mouth was full of bitterness when she saw her children‘s doubtful gaze.
She had to continue her lie. “I was initially going to follow you abroad, but there‘s been a last–minute
problem with my project, so I have to stay and deal with work first. But I‘ve asked Uncle Flint to
accompany you. Do you all know Uncle Flint?”
Harold stomped his feet unhappily. “I don‘t know him. I don’t know Uncle Flint! I just want you, Mommy! If
Mommy isn‘t going, then I‘m not going either!”
“Hal, you‘re a good boy. Please listen to Mommy.” Adina patiently coaxed them. “Go abroad with Uncle
Flint today. I‘ll go over tomorrow and look for you, okay?”
George frowned. “Can‘t we stay in Sea City and wait for you, Mommy?”
Adina just chuckled in resignation.
One more day of waiting meant one more day of danger.
Earley was vicious and unpredictable. If he could hurt his own brother, he could also hurt his brother’s
children.
She could not risk the children‘s safety.
She could only expose Earley‘s true face without worry after she sent the kids away!
“I‘m standing here as a living person, but you don‘t see me. It‘s an insult to my existence!”
Flint showed up from nowhere. He stood behind the five of them and spoke in a joking manner, dispelling
the unhappy atmosphere.
The four children raised their heads and looked at him.
Alden and Melody were familiar with him, but George and Harold had not officially met him yet.
“Aren‘t you going abroad to have fun? Why do you look so dull?”
Flint bent down and carried the little girl. “Mel, do you still remember when you were little, I took you to
see a meteor shower? Check this out. There will be another meteor shower tomorrow night, so we have
to take this flight and go over now, or else, we won‘t be able to catch it.”
Melody‘s eyes lit up. “I want to see the meteor shower!”
Harold‘s interest was also piqued. “I‘ve never seen a meteor shower. Can I make a wish when I see the
meteor shower?”
“Of course you can!” Flint reached out to carry Harold as well. “If you make a wish during the meteor
shower, it‘ll come true.”
“Wow, let‘s get on the plane and see that meteor shower,” Harold urged.
George pursed his lips and said, “Don‘t worry, Mommy. I‘ll take good care of my brothers and Mel.”
Alden was silent
His sixth sense told him that his mommy had to deal with something more important than the four of
them.
It was definitely not work because work always ranked after them for her.
So, what was making his mother send the four of them abroad?
Could it be...
Alden looked down.
His dad and mom had looked really close in the morning, but he had noticed his mom‘s clenched fists.
In other words, his mommy had purposely acted as if she was in a loving relationship with his dad in front
of them.
If his mommy had decided to divorce his dad, sending them away would be the only way to settle the
matter smoothly.
After Alden figured it out, he felt relieved. He smiled obediently and said, “Mommy, we’ll make a move
first. We‘ll wait for you to come and pick us up.” The four kids waved goodbye to Adina, and her tears
almost fell.
