Despite her young age, a foodie like Maya could come up with a million reasons to convince herself when it came to food.
Having given herself an excuse, Maya nodded fervently to Evan’s offer.
Evan Seet changed into a fresh set of clothes and brought Maya onto his Maybach with him. The two of them set off for Clare’s Place.
“Mommy, Mommy! We have a problem!”
Nicole was in the middle of cleaning the dishes when Nina wailed in distress.
Nicole rushed out of the kitchen and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Nina stared at her mother anxiously, “Nina is missing!”
“What?”
Nicole could feel her heartbeat speed up. She joined the kids to search for Maya throughout the house.
When she made sure that Maya was nowhere to be seen in the rear house, she hurried over to the main house.
“Where’s Evan?”
“Ms. Lane, Mr. Seet just went out.”
“He’s out? Then, have you seen Maya?”
The bodyguard paused to think for a while and shook his head.
Nicole was on tenterhooks. She led Kyle and Juan to look all over the main house for Maya, but still, there was no trace of hers at all.
What to do now?
It’s already so late! Where can Maya go?
She can’t possibly be abducted, right?
Nicole thought of all of the worst possibilities and her stomach was tied up in knots.
Kyle and Juan instantly calmed their mother down.
“Mommy, perhaps Maya’s gone out to play! She’ll be back soon!”
“Yeah, Mommy! Don’t worry! We’ll definitely find Maya somewhere!”
“Maya is not like the two of you. She has a terrible sense of direction! That is why I never let her wander off alone! What if she gets lost and bumps into bad people? What if…”
Nicole didn’t dare to think further. She hurried outdoors to look for Maya instead.
The other three of her kids tailed behind her at once.
Nicole stumbled into the darkness with her children, and together they shouted for Maya.
Now that the sky was already pitch black, they couldn’t see their paths clearly, which made their job much more difficult.
