Chapter 27: Bryan Took Away the Two Babies
Bryan carried the two children all the way to his office, and he also blocked Jordan out of his office. He placed Emma on his thighs while he reached out to remove the sticker sticking on her nose. Emma immediately objected, "Sir, you can't snatch away my sticker. It was given to me by my teacher."
She fiercely snatched back her rainbow cloud sticker from Bryan and stuck it back to her nose.
Bryan froze for a moment as he watched the little one's antics. To his surprise, he felt that she was very cute.
"So she is your sister?" He turned towards Jacob.
Jacob nodded, "We are twins of different genders. Sir, do you like my sister?"
Bryan once again checked out Emma and saw that she had taken his pen and was now drawing a flower on her hand.
Her lips were red and pleasing to the eyes.
He nodded without saying anything more. He also narrowed his eyes.
As he continued to look at them, he felt that that certain man was really blind. He couldn't believe that that man had abandoned such cute kids.
Of course, he wasn't talking about the kids' mother about this...
She wasn't likable at all.
"You are here to look for your daddy?" He never heard about anyone in his company which looked like Jacob!
Jacob knew that he couldn't hide the truth forever, so he decided not to hide anymore.
He leaned on the sofa and let his legs dangle, "No, it's just that my sister is missing daddy, but our daddy is not here, so I told her that the man from last night looks like daddy, which prompted her to want to take a look. He looks like daddy, and we are here to look for him."
Bryan finally understood what was going on, and then he smiled bitterly.
It was his first time being a replacement to someone else, and to top it off he was their temporary daddy-replacement.
Of course, it would be a lie to say that he didn't feel upset, but more than anything, he felt sorry for these children.
Their parents were separated, and the ones getting hurt the most were not them, but the children being left behind...
Despite that, at the thought of Shirley who was always hot-tempered, Bryan immediately frowned, "Does your mummy know that you are here to look for me?"
"No, she doesn't." Emma looked up and answered. One of her arm was hooked on Bryan's neck, and her voice was soft, "Sir, you really look like my daddy. Can I call you daddy... when nobody is around?" Bryan felt his back become stiff, "What did you say?"
"I... Daddy left us when we were very young, and those kids at the kindergarten always say that we have mother, but never a father. We are very pitiful..." At this point, Emma's eyes suddenly turned red, a tear fell on her cheeks.
Bryan suddenly felt anxious as he lifted his hand to wipe away the tears while cooing, "Don't cry!"
"Sir, am I not allowed to say that?" She looked up with watery eyes at Bryan.
For such a sudden change of scene where he had this twin, besides feeling anxious, he was feeling frustrated more!
If these children were of his bloodline...
He would love them with all his heart, and he would make sure they attend the best school, live in the best house. They would be raised like a noble.
Too bad...
"You can, but..." Bryan suddenly remembered Shirley, and he appeared considerably annoyed, "Don't ever call me daddy in front of your mum, because she doesn't like the fact that... I am getting close to you!"
Based on how she was reacting last night, it felt like he had intended to snatch away her children.
Was it because that previous man also tried to take the children away from her? To elicit such a response from her.
Emma suddenly hugged his neck and called out in a sweet voice, "Daddy!"
Bryan snapped back to reality as his body lurched backwards. Both of his hands fell on Emma's back as he hugged her close while replying softly, "Yes."
"Daddy!" Then, Emma called out again.
He replied her in the same manner again.
She continued to call him "daddy" for a while, which almost caused Bryan's heart to melt.
It almost made him feel like he was actually hugging his own child...
He looked towards Jacob while raising his eyebrows, "What about you?"
Jacob jumped off the sofa and jogged towards Bryan. He then threw himself at Bryan, "Daddy."
His pounce so happened to connect with his injured body.
He let out a low groan, "You bastard child, two of my ribs are broken."
"What?" Emma exclaimed worriedly, and then she pushed Jacob away, "Jacob, how can you be so rough? Don't you see that daddy is injured?"
"How do I know that daddy is injured? I thought that he only injured his arm." Jacob rubbed his nose and then asked, "Daddy, you're injured, so why are you here at work? What about mummy?"
"She..." Bryan furrowed his brows as an image of that woman's agitated and infuriated face appeared in his mind. All of a sudden, he felt restless.
"Could it be that you are bullying mummy?" Emma narrowed her eyes while jumping off his thigh. She was now standing in front of Jacob.
The two children were now on the same side, and they were glaring at him, as if interrogating a criminal.
Bryan looked at this tandem and felt strangely guilty.
That woman... He didn't know what had become of her.
"She was accompanying me the whole night last night, so she didn't get any sleep. I have ordered her to rest in the hospital for a bit before coming back to work." He stood up and placed his hands on the heads of those kids, "Let me bring you out to some place opposite here. You can have a lot of fun there."
"Alright." The two children answered at the same time.
The door of the office opened, and Jordan immediately turned to face him and reported, "Mr. Moore, today..."
"Cancel all my schedules today. Besides, book the whole DW Scenic Area for today." Bryan instantly interrupted Jordan's words.
Emma and Jacob exchanged a look.
As expected, their daddy was the best. They could have fun, have good food, anything they wanted...
"Other than that..." Bryan lowered his gaze at these children and said, "If Dr. Thomas wants to get discharged, tell her to look for me. Tell her that her children are with me." Ugh...
Jordan looked at the children but he didn't dare to say anything more. He simply nodded, "Roger."
It was twelve twenty-three, and Shirley received a call from Cameron.
The children were gone.
Shirley couldn't just stay here to rest as she immediately took her pouch with her and staggered out of the hospital.
However, when she had just reached the door of the ward, a figure blocked her way.
She was stunned a little as she took a step back, "Jordan."
Jordan pushed his spectacles and asked, "Dr. Thomas, you look very anxious. Where are you going?"
"I have an emergency. I need to take an emergency leave from Mr. Moore today... No, before my ordeal is settled, I can't go back to..." Her children were everything she had.
Her children were smart and witty, and they had outstanding appearances too. If they were targeted by human traffickers, it would be the end of them.
"Dr. Thomas, are you worrying about your children?"
Shirley stopped in her tracks and looked at him in astonishment, "Jordan, how did you know about that?"
"Mr. Moore wants me to tell you that your children are with him."
What??
Shirley felt her heart and body tremble. She hastily clung to the door to keep herself from toppling over. "Bring me to him!"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
