Chapter 51: Grace was Missing
The next day, it was the weekend, so the two little boys didn't have to go to kindergarten. Chloe planned to take them to the research institute.
Just as she finished preparing to leave, she suddenly heard the doorbell ring. She thought it was Elene coming over, so she got up to open the door.
Seeing the person standing at the door, Chloe's brows furrowed sharply, "Why are you here?"
It was Grace.
After speaking, she subconsciously looked around, thinking that Quintus might be waiting nearby. Unexpectedly, after looking around, there was no other figure at the door besides Grace.
Chloe withdrew her gaze, squatting down to look into the little girl's eyes, "Tell me, how did you get here? Did Daddy bring you here?"
Considering Quintus's attitude towards her at the kindergarten yesterday, the possibility of Grace coming to find her was very slim. But Chloe could only think of this possibility for now.
Grace was wearing a white dress and carrying the small backpack she had at kindergarten yesterday. Upon hearing her words, she turned around and took out a small notebook from her backpack, writing on it, "I came by myself."
Chloe was astonished, "By yourself? How did you find your way here?"
Grace wrote on the notebook again, "I took a taxi."
Chloe still had some doubts, but after confirming several times that there was indeed no one else around, she had to believe it.
Quintus's daughter, taking a taxi to her house early in the morning. This situation really gave her a headache.
"So, what do you want from me?" She suppressed her complex emotions and gently asked.
"I want to be friends with Daniel and Leo, can I?" Grace held up the notebook, looking at her expectantly.
Just because of this?
Chloe suddenly didn't know what to say.
Yesterday, their teacher did say that this little girl was very attached to her sons. But she didn't expect that this little girl would dare to take a taxi by herself just to come and play with them. And, she couldn't even speak. If she encountered bad people on the way... Chloe didn't dare to imagine what would happen.
"Mommy?" Daniel and Leo had been waiting inside for a long time, not seeing Chloe come in, and curiously came out to take a look.
Seeing the person at the door, the reactions of the two little ones were no different from Chloe's just now, "What are you doing here!"
Grace was about to write on the small notebook, but Chloe turned around to explain for her, "Grace came to play with you guys."
Hearing this, Daniel looked around suspiciously. He thought he would see Daddy, but there was not a single adult figure around. He looked back at Chloe for confirmation. "How did she get here?"
Chloe helplessly said, "She took a taxi by herself."
As she said this, she herself found it hard to believe. But the two little ones didn't doubt it at all.
Leo looked at Grace at the door with a face full of astonishment, asking, "Did you come by yourself? Did you run away from home again?"
If he remembered correctly, the first time they met, Grace ran away from home by herself! However, Grace didn't think there was anything strange about her behavior, and just nodded to them.
Seeing her casual attitude, the two little ones looked at each other, both feeling speechless.
How come the daughter Daddy taught kept running away from home every few days? And why did she keep coming to their house?
Meanwhile, in the CEO's office of the Li Group, Quintus was dealing with work when suddenly, his private phone rang.
As soon as he answered, the urgent voice of the butler came through, "Grace is missing again!"
