Daddy, Mommy had been in Prison
Chapter 583 The Hook

"His Majesty has a lot to deal with today and may only see you in the evening. If you would like to take a tour outside or of the palace, His Majesty says you may do as you please." "Take us around the palace, then. It's our first time here."

Elsie spoke, and Wilson nodded, translating Elsie's words,

They'd just finished breakfast, though, and planned to go back to rest and walk around after noon. After returning to the room, Elsie turned to Wilson.

"My answer was the right one, right? It's not too smart of us to go out right now in case Princess Anna or the Chows discover us. With us in this palace, both parties wouldn't know we've come. Of course, even if they did, we could threaten them instead of staying passive. Am I thinking the right way?" Wilson smiled and rubbed Elsie's hair. He took her hand and led her to the balcony.

"You're thinking the right way. It's not too serious if Princess Anna or the Chow family caught wind, but since we've just arrived, we'll hide the information for as long as we can. They have their needs, and we have our goals. If we can suppress each other, that's the best outcome."

The two held each other while lying on the balcony, enjoying the sweet atmosphere.

In a foreign land, their hearts somehow seemed closer. They didn't feel like going outside anyway. They had a nap just like that, lying down on a couch chair in the hotel room.

In the afternoon, the palace workers took them around several spots in the palace.

Meanwhile, back in the country, it was morning. Georgia woke up early and turned to Robert.

"Has Boss Nash contacted you? What time do you leave? Should I come with you?"

"Were you thinking of that the moment you woke up?"

Robert chuckled and looked at the time. It was barely seven.

"I'll deal with it. We can't have you out of the lab. If there's any news, I'll notify you straight away."

Georgia thought that made sense. Antonio's research had progressed somewhat and he could now just manage to synthesize a bit of organic particles that could control the blood condition of the lab rats. A lab rat with nerve damage had recovered somewhat with the elements they'd researched.

It wasn't very effective, but it seemed they'd found the right direction. If they continued on, it might help Riley's lover, so he was naturally happy about it. He'd even stay in the lab every day and exchange the progress of their experimentation. He was getting somewhat emotional, even looking forward to their success.

Considering all that, Georgia hurriedly washed, then went over to Annie and Wesley's room and had the children get dressed, wash and eat breakfast.

"Mommy, is there still nothing about Auntie Vanessa?"

Annie let Georgia dress her obediently and asked that. After crying last time, she'd been hung up about Vanessa all this time. But she was always a good kid, at least enough not to raise a tantrum over her mother's white lie.

Still, she couldn't help but worry. Waking up early in the morning, she couldn't help but ask about it again.

"Uncle Wilson and Auntie Elsie have already gone to search for Auntie Vanessa. Maybe someday soon, Auntie Vanessa will be back holding you and saying happy things. Don't worry, Annie, we'll replace a way to rescue your Auntie Vanessa. At least for now, we can be sure that she's safe."

"Okay then."

Annie suddenly hugged Georgia to her cheek and kissed her.

"I didn't mean to pick on Auntie Elsie like that, Mommy, but I didn't want to yell at you or put you in an awkward spot. I just thought Auntie Elsie knew something. You won't blame me, right?"

"What are you saying? How could I blame you, Annie? Mommy was wrong on this."

Sure, it was a white lie, but lies hurt sometimes.

"Mommy hurt your heart by doing this. It's my first time being a Mommy and I might not do everything right, so if you point it out, Annie, Mommy will do her best to fix it."

Georgia didn't like authoritarian parents who always felt they were right. She'd always taught the kids to be open and understanding. As a senior, she'd done wrong, so she had to apologize properly. If the child did wrong, she had to criticize it as well.

"I didn't blame you, Mommy, I know you wanted the best for me. Daddy talked with me in secret last night, and says you're busy and working hard, and sometimes you can't care for my feelings. He wanted me to forgive you. Daddy didn't need to say it. I could see, Mommy, your eyes are always so baggy now. Don't worry about me. I'll take care of myself and take care of Wesley too."

That tugged on Georgia's heartstrings. Her daughter was such a good girl. She must have accumulated a lot of good karma to get such an angel in this life.

But the moment her baby girl finished, Wesley spoke up as well.

"Annie, I don't need other people to take care of me now. I can take care of myself too."

Robert walked out.

"Don't waste your time talking. The breakfast is getting cold. Come eat."

Georgia and Robert took the children's hands and led them to the dining room to eat. The kids ate obediently. Robert looked occasionally at how Annie and Wesley ate, dabbing at their lips with napkins. Georgia suddenly felt very blessed. She had to treasure the time she had now and get Vanessa and Travis back. She had to work hard, too, and not waste every day away.

After eating breakfast, Rick came. He continued to give Annie and Wesley home lessons.

The kids were smart and made rapid progress. Georgia and Robert were going out today, so the kids' grandmother came to look after them.

Maisie was getting along with them now. Georgia and Robert were just too busy, so they just ate and conversed simply most days.

Most times, Maisie apparently just stayed in her drawing room and painted. But Annie and Wesley were getting along better and better with Maisie, which relieved Georgia a lot.

She got in a car and headed to the labs, while Robert waited for Sarah to arrive. After that, he and Sarah drove to the place Boss Nash had prepared, waiting for that Mack fellow to swallow the bait.

"I've been troubling you over Travis all this while. I'm truly guilty. Without your help in D City, my forces couldn't reach too many places. If there's anything I can do to repay you, please say it." Sarah said that in the car, and Robert's response was mild.

"Eric and Jayson are our common enemies. Helping you means helping us. Travis is Georgia's friend as well, and he saved both our lives. We won't forget that debt, Miss Duran. So long as we work together, we'll save Travis." After Robert said that, Sarah forced a smile, her gaze complicated.

After about half an hour, they arrived at an abandoned factory at the countryside.

That was where Boss Nash was luring Mack.

Mack had apparently wanted Boss Nash's help with something.

After Boss Nash agreed, the pair agreed to exchange money and goods here.000☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
