Only you in my love novel Chapter 506

Cali rushed to the entrance of the farmer's market.

"Hey! Stop!" The bodyguard saw Cali dash away, yelled after her, and chased after her.

For a moment, Demi did not care anymore about all the eyes watching them. She shouted after the bodyguard, "Catch her and bring her back here! Don't let her get away!"

If it were not for her high-heeled shoes, she would have run after Cali herself and dragged her right back with the twins. She stomped her foot in frustration. Tasha also saw Cali run away, so she immediately started the car and drove after her.

The whistling wind prickled her face and filled her mouth. Cali felt her throat burn as she willed her legs to reach the farmer's market and find a hiding place.

Demi and the others had underestimated Cali. Even with two infants on her, she was able to outrun the bodyguard by at least ten meters.

The entrance of the farmer's market was right across the road. Cali rushed over desperately, keeping the twins glued to her body. Tasha skidded at the roadside and shouted at her. Cali did not care. She kept running. Van and Don didn't cry.

She crossed the road and prayed that no harm would come to her and the children. The bodyguard was right on her heels but was forced to stop by a fast-approaching car. He stepped back and let the car pass. Then, he lost sight of Cali and the twins.

Meanwhile, Tasha ran into a red light. She could do nothing but watch Cali run into the farmer's market. She got so angry that she slapped the steering wheel and blared the horns.

Making it to the farmer's market, Cali ran toward a crowded vegetable stall. Panting, she pleaded the lady manning it, "Please. People are after me and my children. They want to hurt us. Please hide us."

Without waiting for the woman's consent, Cali knelt down and hid under the stall. She closed her eyes and desperately prayed.

The owner of the vegetable stall was a plump, kind-looking, middle-aged woman. She was startled by Cali's sudden appearance. A few moments after Cali ducked down under the stall, a group of men in suits led by two women passed by, and they looked like they were looking for someone.

"Don't let the babies make a sound." The stall owner reminded Cali to stay quiet and quickly moved boxes of vegetables behind the stall to block her from view.

The stall was littered with several boxes of vegetables, so it was closed all around. Unless the men in suits tore the stall apart box by box, they would never find Cali and the kids.

Cali was moved to tears. She curled up in the narrow space and tried her best to position herself in a way that would not make the twins uncomfortable. Mercifully, Van and Don kept silent as if they knew that the situation called for their cooperation.

A few minutes in hiding and the strain were already getting to her muscles. Gritting her teeth, Cali shifted and distributed her weight evenly around the cramped space.

"She must have run this way. I don't believe she can go far with two children. Spread out and keep your eyes open. She's here somewhere," Tasha ordered, pointing at the whole farmer's market.

The bodyguards Demi called in after Cali ran away nodded in unison and began to look around.

Cali caught and held her breath. If she could hear Tasha that clearly, then it meant that Tasha was standing right in front of the stall she and the twins were hiding in. Cali closed her eyes once again and fervently prayed for the children to stay quiet a little longer. If they made a sound, it would be over.

Fortunately, Van and Don made no sound.

Through the crack at the bottom of the stall, Cali saw a pair of fair-skinned shanks clad in black sandals.

"Excuse me. Did you see a woman in her early twenties pass through here? She's wearing a servant's uniform and carrying two infants." Tasha smiled politely at the stall owner. "You see, she kidnapped my two younger brothers. We're looking for her. If you see her, please let me know, okay? I'm really worried for my brothers."

Tasha's voice sounded strangely pleasant, making her seem believable.

Cali's heart started racing again. She quietly drew deep, steadying breaths as sweat rolled down her face.
