Her Seven Little Bodyguards
Chapter 344

Chapter 347

Kiki came across as a sensible and unassuming person, so Vania did not think too much about what she said.

"I have work to attend to now. Rest well."

Kiki tried to get up again to see Vania off.

Vania held her back. "It's fine. You don't need to get up."

She gave Kiki another reassuring look before leaving.

As soon as Vania left, Kiki's eyes slowly dimmed.

Meanwhile, Melanie was pacing back and forth at home. Josie grew frustrated and finally snapped, "What are you doing now?"

Melanie's tone was less than pleasant too. "Morales and Morgan are both with Vania right now. What am I going to do?"

If she could not reunite with the children, how was she going to return to Hanson's side?

Josie was exasperated. "You're still the children's mother, so use that identity to your advantage! Why don't you just go and visit the children yourself?"

"Of course I want to see them, but would I be let in?" Melanie slammed the table crossly.

Her anger had gotten the best of her, to the detriment of her brain power.

Josie was the one who managed to keep her head straight. "Can't you just get them to come out and meet you instead? You wouldn't even need to go through Hanson. Just get in touch with Morales and Morgan."

"But..." Melanie was a little hesitant.

"But what? You're their mother, so isn't it within your rights to look for them?"

After much cajoling from Josie, Melanie made up her mind.

She decided to send the children a message.

Melanie texted, 'Hi my darlings, are you two awake?'

She waited for a long time, but she did not receive a reply.

Slowly, she grew even more and more restless as she clutched her phone in wait.

After more time had passed, she sent them another message. 'Make sure you reply when you see Mommy's message.'

Another hour passed, and there was still no reply from the children.

Melanie became even more uneasy. Did Hanson replace out about it?

She had a hard time making up her mind, but eventually, she decided to give the children a call.

No matter what the outcome was, she was determined to give it a try.

Thankfully, the call was answered after a few rings.

"Hi, Mommy." A light and cheerful voice rang out.

Once Melanie heard the smile in Morgan's voice, her heart fell back in place knowing that the children were not trying to distance themselves from her.

She immediately said, "I messaged you two but I didn't get a response, so I got quite worried. Is everything okay?"

"Everything's great!" Morales and Morgan replied in unison.

Even without them saying so, anyone could hear how happy they were based on their tone of voice.

Still, what good would it be for Melanie if things were great for them?

Melanie was burning with jealousy, but to ensure that her plan worked, she kept a smile on her face and asked, "Darlings, do you want to go out and play today? Why don't you come and meet Mommy, and Mommy will bring you two out for some fun?"

She had never taken Morales and Morgan out to play before, so when she offered now, the two boys were thrilled.

However, once they saw the cold expressions on their four older brother's faces, they hesitated for a bit.

The other four children seemed to be scoffing in displeasure.

They hated Melanie, after all.

Seeing the looks on their faces, both Morales and Morgan became rather melancholic.

"But..." They tried to answer Melanie, but they kept faltering and could not complete their sentence.

Even over the phone, Melanie could tell that they were hesitating.

She continued enticing them. "A huge amusement park just opened recently. I'll bring you two there to have a day of fun!"
