Chapter 805 Phillip Was Missing
Lucia was puzzled to see the two children eager to go out. Dinner will be ready soon. Where are you going?"
Janet glanced at Timothy.
Fortunately, Timothy was smart and immediately handed the phone to Lucia. "Mom. you left your phone at home. I just answered a call for you..."
Lucia frowned slightly and checked her phone. Her frown deepened when she saw the name "Edmund Shea". They hadn't been in touch for a long time. She subconsciously thought of Phillip and asked worriedly, "What did Mr. Shea say?"
Timothy and Janet looked at each other and hated Edmund even more.
Timothy immediately answered, "He just said Phillip was bored at home and asked if you could take us to play with him."
"Let's go." Before Lucia's hand touched the doorknob, Janet held her thigh and said in a sweet voice, "Mommy, you can stay home and get some rest. Burton will drive us."
"But..." Lucia wanted to say something else, but the children were walking out hand in hand. She could only shake her head and shout at their backs, Be safe."
After changing into her housecoat, Lucia went to the study to look for the note she hadn't finished reading.
The study was just as she had left it. Obviously, August hadn't been in since they returned from Sonirie. The pottery pieces were a stark contrast with the dark floor.
Lucia stepped forward, picked up the pieces, and glued them back together in the chair. She was so focused that she sweat on her nose.
Half an hour later, Burton and August were still working at the office. Timothy and Janet paid the cab driver and walked hand in hand into an upscale neighborhood. They found Edmund's house and the door opened as soon as they rang the doorbell.
The smile faded from Edmund's face when he saw the two children. His face darkened and he had no intention of letting them into the house.
"Mr. Shea, Mommy sent us to pick up Phillip. She went to the best pediatrician," Timothy said, blinking innocently.
Edmund knew the two children were smart, especially the boy, so he was wary of them. "Wait outside for a while. I'll change and drop you off," he said coldly.
Timothy tugged on Janet's jacket. Janet rolled her eyes silently. She knew Timothy was up to something, but she raised her voice and asked deliberately, "Timothy, call Mommy and ask her to pick us up. I don't want to wait outside. I'm really tired."
Edmund froze and turned sideways reluctantly. "No need. Just come in. I'll be out in a minute."
The two children didn't care about his attitude. They walked into the living room and saw only a mess. All the breakables were on high, but the living room was littered with pieces of plastic. It was obvious that those things had been dropped hard.
