The More the Merrier novel Chapter 173

Chapter 173 Her Jig Is Up

“I’ll get down here and hail a cab. It’s quite far. Please go back to work.”

Arissa waved goodbye to her colleagues before taking a cab to Olswick.

She contacted the school and told them that the kids had been found. She also apologized to the principal.

While she was on her phone, she sized the driver up, but nothing seemed unusual. She finally felt relieved.

Meanwhile, in Olswick, Bradley was keeping a watchful eye on the man and the woman.

He didn’t know which building they were currently residing. He had to keep a low profile so that he wouldn’t give the game away.

Nonetheless, he paid the beggars on every street in the area to watch out for the two. That way, he would know once they made their appearance.

So, after he received Arissa’s call, he quickly rushed to her aid.

He spotted the five kids sitting on the terrace garden. They were eating snacks. They were so cute that he could not bring himself to stay mad at them.

“Hey! What are you guys doing here? Your mother is worried sick.”

“Mr. Hinton!”

As soon as Bradley came into view, the children ran over to hug him.

“We are here for you. We wanted to give you a surprise,” Jesse said sweetly.

Bradley was shocked. “How did you know I’m here?”

“We have GPS,” Jasper answered, waving his phone.

“As much as we like visiting you, we have an urgent matter to tell you,” Zachary said sternly.

Bradley raised his eyebrows. “What is it?”

Chills ran down Bradley’s spine as Zachary told him everything.

That was a close one! If they hadn’t been practicing self-defense since they were much younger, they would have fallen into the hands of the bad guys.

“We found that the culprit is somewhere around here. That’s why we came, and… we called her just now. I believe she’ll show up soon.”

“Huh? What did you tell her?” Bradley was astonished.

Won’t she suspect anything?
