Just like that, after getting out of the vehicle, Thalia skillfully led them into the base.
The two obediently followed behind Thalia, silent, their little faces taut, looking somewhat serious.
Even so, it attracted frequent glances from passersby. Where did these children come from? They're incredibly cute, aren't they? And that feigned mature expression, why does it make me want to tease them so much?
It seemed that Thalia had noticed the attention they were attracting from all around. She turned to the two people behind her and said, “You two sure are turning a lot of heads, aren't you?”
Upon hearing that, Benjamin responded with a question, “Why are there so many people?”
“There probably aren't any tasks, so everyone's here,” said Thalia.
Benjamin listened and nodded in agreement.
“Come on, you two, lighten up! Don't look like someone owes you money,” Thalia said in a hushed tone. “I'm telling you, if you play your cards right here, you'll get some special treatment!”
However, it was difficult for them to cheer up at that moment.
After Thalia finished speaking, she seemed to realize something and didn't say any more.
Just then, a person walked up to them. Recognizing Thalia, she couldn't help but ask, “Thalia, who are these two children?”
Thalia paused, looking at the person with a slight smile. “Why don't you make a guess?”
The person glanced sideways, taking a look at the two children behind her. Their skin was fair and tender, and she felt the urge to give them a few pats.
“Don't tell me they're yours?” the person asked with a grin.
Thalia took a deep breath, then laughed. “I wish, but... I'm not that lucky!”
“Who are they, then?”
“I picked them up randomly from the roadside on the way here. What do you think? They're cute, aren't they?” Thalia asked.
“You picked them up from the roadside? Are you serious?” The person asked, sounding skeptical.
“Of course. Where else would I get two children from?” Thalia retorted.
“These two kids... dressed in such wealth and luxury, how could they possibly be foundlings?” The person shook her head, clearly showing her disbelief.
“Excellent. You've learned to observe now,” Thalia teased.
“Even though I work behind the scenes, I still have these basic skills.”
“Sure, you can be on the front line next time,” Thalia teased.
The person chuckled. “You haven't even mentioned where these children came from?”
“What's the matter? Do you like them?”
“They're just too cute to behold.”
“It's surprising that someone as young as you has a fondness for children!”
“Haha, I've liked children since I was little.”
At that moment, Thalia turned around to look at the two people behind her. “Let me introduce you. This is Melanie Sims, who is in charge of intelligence at our base.”
Anthony and Benjamin spoke in unison. “Hello, Melanie.”
Melanie's face lit up with a smile after hearing that.
“You're such good boys and so adorable!” said Melanie.
“If you love children so much, hurry up and have a baby!”
“Who should I copulate with?”
“Have Boss arrange one for you!”
Speaking of that, Melanie sighed. “Never mind, I'll just rely on myself.”
Thalia chuckled teasingly. “All right, you go for it. I won't keep you. Boss is waiting. I'll take them in first.”
Melanie nodded. “All right, you go ahead with your work, Thalia. I'll get busy, too!”
Thalia nodded. Melanie smiled and reluctantly glanced at the two little boys before finally leaving.
Thalia glanced back at the two, murmuring, “I didn't expect to attract so much attention before even stepping in!”
“We're born with good looks. We can't help it,” Benjamin said.
