Chapter 26: The Two Kids Had Their Hands on Their Father
Sabina shook her head and tried to argue, "I-I didn't do that, it was her... who had hurled soil at me..."
"The children are just afraid. Miss Thomas, don't get close to her. They wouldn't just simply attack anyone." "Yes, I saw that they were doing fine with Aileen, so why do you spook them into such a state?"
Sabina scanned the strange glances cast at her, and an intense flame of anger was burning in her heart.
She didn't even do anything yet.
These two children were framing her, like Paisley from yesterday, who was trying to attack her from the dark.
This was really annoying.
"I didn't do anything to them. If you don't believe me, you can ask them." She marched towards the two children after saying that.
Emma immediately clutched Jacob's shirt as her cries got even louder. She couldn't help retreating due to fear.
"Don't come near me, we didn't do that on purpose, lady...'
"Then why are you crying? Stop crying now." This child's cries were seemingly increasing in volume, which ignited the frustration in Sabina's heart. Eventually, she started roaring at them despite being in a public setting.
The onlookers were looking at her with astonished expression...
At this moment, a sharp and low voice pierced through the crowd, "What's going on?"
The crowd all turned towards the voice.
Two figures entered the building from outside.
Bryan was wearing an all-black suit and he was marching through the hall.
His gaze immediately fell upon two tiny figures hiding behind a vase.
At the same time, Sabina was blocking in front of those children, and the flash of anger on her face was still there before she could regain her composure.
Bryan's face darkened as he hurried towards Sabina. He uttered these words clearly, "Sabina!" v
"What are you doing here?"
"Sir, please save me and my sister. She said that we are unruly, and she is even going to hit us."
"I... I didn't!" Sabina finally regained her rationality the moment Bryan appeared. She turned around sharply and tried to argue with a pale face, "Bryan, it's not like what you are seeing, they just now..." Seeing that Sabina was going to argue for her own sake, Emma purposely raised the volume of her cries.
Bryan directed his gaze at those children.
Although they had stickers all over their faces, he was able to recognize the boy from his body shape and eyes.
"It's you!"
"Sir, you remember me. That's great." Jacob revealed a delighted expression on his face as he pulled Emma's hand and ran past Sabina.
The two children jogged to in front of him.
Bryan was feeling excited and agitated for some reason as his sharp gaze scanned these two children.
Among these two children, he had seen one of them last night, but it was the first time he was laying eyes on the other one. Her eyes resembled that damn woman's eyes greatly, and she had tall nose and plump cheeks. Her eyes seemed to sparkle and harbour the possibility to speak.
"Bryan, I really didn't do anything to them just now. They were hurling soil at me just now." Sabina appeared in front of him uneasily while pointing at her own chest. She was trying to show Bryan the remnants of soil on her clothes.
Bryan narrowed his eyes at her, and it was a very cold gaze, "When a child feels danger, it is normal for them to have such a reaction. They don't know you, so why are you approaching them? You are not young anymore, yet you are planning to argue with two little children whose age were far younger than yours. Sabina, I never know that you have such a side to you."
"No, it's not like that..." Sabina wanted to explain, but she felt like her head was going to explode out of pain.
Her face was pale as she stared at Emma with despair in her eyes.
It felt like she had lost it for a moment just now.
Why did she become like that?
All these years in front of Bryan, she was always very cautious.
"I really didn't. You can ask Aileen!"
"Do you think that using the wrong words shouldn't be considered a mistake?" Furthermore, when Jordan was parking, he happened to see Sabina's convoluted expression due to intense anger. If he never saw it with his own eyes, he would never believe that this woman was so evil-hearted.
"If I don't appear now, what are you planning to do to these two children?"
"I am not going to do anything. Bryan, why can't you just believe me? Aileen, tell Mr. Bryan what actually transpired just now." Sabina took a few steps back powerlessly and she started to cry, as if she was wronged.
Aileen looked at the children and then shifted her gaze to Sabina. She took a step forward and with her hands in front of her, she retold what had happened in detail.
Emma rubbed her eyes while grabbing Bryan's finger, "Sir, don't blame her, it's just that... I was afraid of her because my mother told me that bad people always use family members as an excuse to abduct children before selling them somewhere far away. If that happens, I wouldn't be able to see mummy anymore. When I thought of this, I was so scared that I started crying."
Her naive voice formed into a gentle flow which entered his heart.
It was the first time he had such unfamiliar emotions coursing through him.
Those feelings included wishing these two children calling him "daddy" and making the people who had made them cry disappear.
He bent down subconsciously and scooped Emma up.
Jordan froze for a second before hurrying forward to remind him, "Mr. Moore, your injury..."
"That's not a concern." Bryan was carrying Emma with his right arm.
When he was carrying her, he got a whiff of the fragrance on her body, which was mixed together with a child's scent... and also that damned woman's scent. Nevertheless, it was an intoxicating fragrance.
His tense face somehow loosened up into s mile, "Let me bring you upstairs."
After saying that, he looked down at Jacob and asked, "Are you willing to follow me?"
His voice was extremely soft, as if talking to these kids with his usual commanding voice would spook them.
Jacob nodded grimly before latching on to his belt.
Bryan felt a warm current permeating in his heart, but when he trained his gaze onto Sabina, the glint in his eyes immediately changed, "Why business do you have with me?" "Bryan, in three days, it will be my mother's birthday. I am here to hand you an invitation card. By then..."
"I will send a present over. Is there anything else?"
"..."
"If you want to talk about yesterday, then you can stop now." With Emma in his arms, he strode towards the elevator.
The other women surrounding them felt entranced by the sight of Bryan carrying a child.
They never saw this side of that scary and domineering Mr. Moore, who now looked like a babysitter!
Sabina broke into a chase, but the doors of the elevator were closed.
She watched the tightly shut doors as feelings of indignation and fury boiled inside her. In the end, tears streaked down her cheeks.
Why...
She was working so hard, yet he never saw this part of her.
Were her efforts not enough?
When she thought of the image of Bryan holding those children, a scheming glare entered Sabina's eyes.
If she could bear his child, she would definitely cement herself in the ranks of the Moore family!
By that time, the Moore family had no way to shun her.....☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
