S31 73. Barbara in Danger
A few moments passed. While waiting for Sean, Philip kept contacting Barbara.
The twins were also worried when they saw him.
“Uncle Philip, what actually happened? Why do we have to go home early?”
Louis inquired as he lifted and dropped the small backpack on
his back.
Philip lowered the phone from his ear. Seeing the wrinkles on the toddlers’
eyebrows, he stopped in his uneasy moves.
“Does it have anything to do with the Moore family?” Emily asked before Philip
could respond, leaving the man caught in a dilemma.
Not getting an answer, Emily finally bowed her head. While touching the floor
with the tip of her shoe, she muttered, “Please be honest, Uncle Philip. We are
not ordinary children. We have been trained by Daddy to be braver and stronger.”
“Yes, we have also been taught how to strategize. We are no longer afraid of the
enemy.” Louis puffed out his cheeks and furrowed his brows, trying to look tough.
However, Philip still couldn't bear to tell them about Barbara. “Jerer
and Ava had an attack.”
The twins’ eyes widened. They had been taught and understood wha
the sentence meant.
“Are they okay?”
Philip nodded. “Yes, because of that, we have to be more careful. It will be safer
if you just learn from home.”
“Could it be that the enemy launched an attack here? But we're still too young,”
Emily pursed her lips.
“How could they have the heart to hurt us? We are cute and sweet children. They
must be really cruel.” Louis nodded with narrowed eyes.
“So now, shall we go straight home? Not to the office?” Emily looked up waiting
for an answer.
Philip pondered for a moment. “Sorry, Louis, Emily. I have other things to do. The
one who will escort you home later is Sean.”
Instead of being disappointed, the twins were beaming.
“Sean will pick us up?”
“It will be a fun trip home. It's been a while since we've seen Sean, Emily. He'll
have lots of stories for us.”
While the two toddlers were busy chatting, Philip's phone rang again. Seeing the
name that appeared, his eyes widened.
“Barbara?” Without thinking, Philip picked it up. “Baby, where are you?",
Dismissive laughter answered. “Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not your baby.”
Hearing the disguised voice, Philip flinched. Hundreds of kilovolts. seemed to
flow through his body.
“Who are you?” Philip asked in a low tone.
Hearing the growling voice, the twins looked up. Their eyes wider and their
mouths opened slightly.
However, Philip no longer spoke. When he lowered the phone from his ear, he
just gritted his teeth. His hand gripped the phone very tightly.
“What's wrong, Philip? Did something happen to Auntie?”
Philip looked up, releasing the excess pressure in his lungs. However, he wasn't
sure he could erase the red streaks from his eyes.
Therefore, he put his phone in his pocket and then reached out to the
twins.
“Sean will be here any minute. We have to hurry to the front gate.”
The twins no longer asked. They glanced at each other,
understanding that Philip was keeping something secret from them. Evidently, as
soon as Sean arrived, Philip invited the man to talk some distance from the twins.
“Emily, what do you think Philip was talking about?” Louis leaned his mouth to
Emily's ear.
We
“I don't know, Louis. But whatever it is, I'm sure it's something very serious. An
adult matter. Therefore, we can't know. Even if ask, Philip will definitely not
answer.”
Louis’ cheeks puffed up. His eyes narrowed. “Could something have happened to
Auntie? Philip looked very worried.”
Emily shuddered in horror. “Louis, don't talk carelessly. If that really happened, I
can’t imagine how hard Auntie would cry. She must be so
scared.”
“The kidnapper could have taped her mouth shut.”
“But the tears will still fall. No, Louis Let's think positive.”
Louis pursed his lips inward. “If it's true that something has hap to Auntie, I don’t
think we should just stay still, Emily. We have to
Emily shook her head quickly. “We're still too young, Louis. And Dad said the
enemy we're facing is heartless. We should stay away fro danger. Leave this
matter to the adults.”
“But we are with Sean. He can protect us and we can think of a cool
strategy to save Auntie. You can’t bear to see Auntie suffer, right?”
Emily looked at Louis with a doubtful expression. The wrinkles on her beautiful
eyebrows made anyone who saw them worry.
“What's wrong, Young Lady?"
The twins looked up. “Sean?” They checked in that direction. Philip's
car was gone.
“What happened? Did something happen to Auntie?” Louis shot. Emily discreetly
elbowed him in the arm.
Sean blinked stiffly. “Sorry. I wasn’t assigned to answer that question. Now let's
get into the car. Your parents will be home soon. They will be very worried if you
don't arrive first.”
Louis looked down languidly. He knew it would be difficult to get information from
Sean. However, he didn’t want to just give up. As the car they were in was
moving, he started looking for chances.

Sean nodded. “Yes, Young Master. I feel guilty not being able to
attend your New Year's party.”
Louis’ lips pursed. “You don’t need to feel guilty, Sean. Emily and understand.
Family is number one.”
Emily nodded in support. “If we were in your position, we would definitely not
attend too. We would rather celebrate New Year wit our own family.”
Suddenly, Louis took a deep breath. His face was sad. “If only
Grandpa Rowan was still with us, he would be able to join in the party. Sean, do
you ever miss Grandpa?”
“I did, Young Master. I spent many years with your great-grandfather. It's
impossible for me not to miss him. Moreover, I feel that I still owe him a favor.”
Louis’ eyes widened. He found the chance he was looking for.
“Actually, it's easy if you want to repay Grandpa's kindness. You can just help our
family.”
“That's what I'm doing, Young Master. And no matter how many times I help you,
it doesn't feel like it's enough.”
Louis smiled slightly. “If Emily and I asked for your help, would you be willing to
help?”
“Of course, Sir.”

Emily blinked questioningly. She was curious about what Louis was
doing.
Meanwhile, Sean was silent. His doubt was visible even though his back was to
Louis. “I don't understand what plan you mean,
Master.”

Louis stared wide eyed, and so did Emily. “Why?”
