    Chapter 22 How Dare You!


    When he looked over, he saw nothing.


    “Let’s go.”


    By now, Mia had received a phone call from Tom. They had checked the surveince, and the two little


    rascals were indeed hiding in the piano teacher’s trunk. However, they had sneaked out of the trunk


    and werest seen getting into a taxi with their luggage…


    Their destination was clear, and Mia had to urgently call Frank to join her in looking for them at the


    airport.


    ording to the time they werest seen, they might have already arrived in their home country!


    When Mia hurriedly dressed and went downstairs, she was surprised to see David in the parking lot.


    She paused, “Didn’t you go home?”


    “Tom was worried about you and called me about the kids missing,” David said, pushing the car door


    open, “Now’s not the time to talk about this. Let’s find the children.”


    Mia bit her lip and nodded.


    Seeing Mia’s concern, David quickly reassured her, “Don’t


    worry, Ben and Anna are smart kids. They’ll be fine.”


    “I’m afraid they’re too smart,” Mia huffed. She was annoyed that her four-year-old children dared to


    sneak out of the vi and take an international flight. She wished she could give their little behinds a


    good spanking!


    David smiled, “They must have got their smarts from me! Who else woulde up with such a great


    idea?”


    Mia was speechless.


    They rushed to the airport and soon spotted the two little ones on the surveince footage, dragging


    their suitcases.


    But instead of going to a gate, they headed to the nearest… Inte ce.


    “What are they doing at an Inte ce?” Even David was puzzled.


    Without waiting for an answer, Mia hurried to the location inside the airport.


    Sure enough, the two little ones were sitting in the ce’s lounge area, and the receptionist was about


    to call the police.


    “Mom!”


    Seeing Mia, Anna forgot all about their secret escape and rushed


    toward her.


    But Ben stood still, holding the luggage.


    “I missed you so much!” Anna nuzzled Mia’s neck, holding her tightly.


    Mia’s heart finally settled, and her eyes filled with tears.


    David went over to the receptionist to exin, then picked up Ben under the receptionist’s reproachful


    gaze, “You’ve got some nerve, young man! Sneaking back into the country with your sister? Do you


    want to scare your mom to death?”


    Ben pressed his lips together and looked at Mia, not daring to speak.


    Mia gave him a stern look, “You have the courage to run away but not toe here?”


    David gently pushed him, “Go on, your mom’s been worried. sick.”


    Ben slowly approached and quietly hugged Mia’s leg.

    Seeing that she didn’t push him away, he breathed a sigh of relief and burst into tears.


    After all, he was only four years old, and his brave front crumbled now that his mother was here.


    Mia’s eyes reddened, and she crouched down to hug both children.


    On the way home, Mia looked sternly at the children, “How on earth did you manage to sneak over


    here? How could the airport possibly allow two children to fly alone?”


    Anna and Ben looked down and exchanged a nce.


    “Don’t think about keeping your stories straight; I’ll know,” Mia said gruffly.


    The twins, being identical, had an unspoken understanding and had often used this tactic to win Mia’s


    sympathy.


    Ben nced at Mia quickly, making sure her anger had subsided bit, and then whispered, “We hired a


    man and a woman online and paid for their tickets so they could bring us here.”
