Nicole was speechless. Is this man supervising my work? Forget it, I’d better finish the job! After all, I must get this year-end bonus.




At this moment, Gerald had brought Amelia to pick up the kids and they were having dinner in a restaurant.




Amelia looked at the kid's under the lighting and felt jealousy surging in her heart. With which man did Nicole give birth to this children?




When they grew up, they would look astoundingly handsome. If this little boy married a rich girl in the future, Nicole would not be short of money.




“Dad, let’s take the kids to the nearby playground after dinner! It’s fun there,” Amelia suggested.




Since Gerald was an old man, he was naturally not as good at having fun as young people.




Nonetheless, he also wanted to take the little kid to the playground. “Okay, we’ll take the kid's to the playground later.” He nodded.




“Eat more, darlings.” Gerald looked at his grandchildren with doting eyes.




Upon seeing that, Amelia secretly felt resentful.

Sure enough, Nicole's best weapon to win her father’s heart was this little triplets devil.




Gerald had always wanted a boy, but Wanda couldn’t give birth to any more children. Now that Nicole had given birth to a boy, Gerald was overwhelmed with delight.




Thus, Amelia was sure that Nicole deliberately gave birth to a son and came back to rob her of the family assets!




The more she looked at this kids, the more disgusted she became. She wished that they would be kidnapped by some bad guys immediately, and that he would never appear in her house ever again in this life.




After they were finally done eating, they drove away and tried to find parking near the playground.




Since the available parking space was far away, Gerald was afraid that they had to walk a long way, so he asked them to get off at the entrance of the playground first.




This happened to fit Amelia's evil plan, so she hurriedly said to the little triplets, “Come on, darlings. We’ll get off here first. Your grandfather has to park some distance away!”




“Be a good boy and go with your aunt first, darlings,” Gerald said gently to the little Pete and his siblings.




Pete nodded obediently before following Amelia out of the car. As she watched her father’s car leave, she sneered in her heart, and a vicious light flashed in her eyes.

She stared coldly at the little boy beside her, feeling as much hate for him as she had for Nicole.




“There are some delicious snacks over there. Let’s go buy some first!” Amelia wasn’t going to take him into the playground because there would be staff who would look after his safety. 




On the contrary, she wanted to take him to the busy streets where no one would care about him.




The little boy had no choice but to follow her. When Amelia saw the chaotic crowd, she said to pete, “Wait for me here and don’t go running around! I’ll go buy some fruit.”




“Okay!” The little boy nodded.




“Do you have a smartwatch?”




“No.” The little boy shook his head.




At once, Amelia was secretly delighted. If such a young child got lost, it would be terribly difficult to find him. 




Moreover, there were many people here—there could even be child traffickers lurking around. Thus, Amelia left the little boy and went off.




10 minutes later, Amelia went straight back to the entrance of the playground to wait for her father.




Pete waited in the same place for a long time, but he did not see Amelia come back. As soon as he looked up, he saw a huge crowd of people all around him.




 He was still a small child, and he couldn’t tell where he was at all. As he blinked his big eyes, there was a bad premonition in his heart as he felt that he had gotten lost. 




In fact, he didn’t even know where to find his grandfather.

Nevertheless, he didn’t panic or cry.




 He simply walked into a store and said to the clerk inside, “Excuse me, I’m lost and I can’t find my family. May I borrow your phone to call my mommy?”




“Are you lost, little boy? Okay, here you go.” The clerk immediately gave him the phone.




Pete dialed his mother’s number and it rang on the other side, but no one answered. He made two calls in a row, yet no one picked up.




Apart from his mother’s number, he didn’t have anyone else’s number.




“Did you mommy answer the phone, little boy?”




Pete shook his head, so the clerk said to him, “Well, you can wait a while before calling again. Don’t worry, I’m a good person. I’ll take care of you.”




The little boy nodded immediately and decided to call again later…




As for Gerald, he hurried to the entrance of the playground after he parked the car, but as soon as he arrived, he saw his daughter Amelia coming over while sobbing.




She said to him sadly, "Dad, something bad happened l have lost Pete! I took him to buy some ice cream, but he ran off and I couldn't find him..".













“What?” Gerald was terrified. He turned his head and looked around. People came and went all around him, but his grandson was nowhere to be found..




“pete! Where did you lose Pete?” Gerald shouted angrily. In just a few minutes, Amelia had lost his grandson! 




Moreover, the boy was only three-years-old!

“I’m sorry, Dad! He was too naughty, and he ran off to play. 




I didn’t manage to keep an eye on him!” Amelia immediately began to sob and blamed it all on Pete.




Gerald hurriedly called the police before calling Nicole, but even though he got through, Nicole didn’t answer the phone.  




He then yelled at Amelia anxiously, “Go find him! How dare you still stand here and cry?”




Amelia was startled for a moment; she had never seen her father fly into a rage like this and was really scared. 




She wanted to go to the place where she left Pete to see if the child was still there, but she would not tell her father the exact location. Thus, she pretended to find the boy separately.




When she returned to the place just now and found that Pete was no longer there, she felt relieved.




 Nicole, your son is finally lost. You will never find this child in your life again. 




This child is no longer a weapon for you to rob my family’s property. When Amelia thought of this, her heart burst with ecstasy.




Meanwhile, Gerald immediately contacted the customer service of Bourgeois. After he explained the situation, the service staff immediately called Felicia. 




When Felicia heard the news, she quickly recalled that May and Nicole were together, so she quickly called May.




Nicole was checking the information and making a detailed record of it. May was sitting next to her when she heard the phone ringing, so she picked it up and saw that it was from Felicia.




Hence, she quickly connected the call and said, “Hello, Felicia.”




“Is Nicole with you?”




“Yes, she’s beside me.”




“Let her answer the phone.”




May handed the phone to Nicole. “Felicia is asking for you.”




Nicole reached out and took the phone. “Hello, Felicia.”




“Nicole, I just received a call from the service desk. Your dad called while saying




that your son got lost and asked you to contact him quickly.”




The documents in Nicole hands slipped and fell to the ground when she heard the news.




 Her face went pale as she said shakily, “What? My son got lost?”




The man who was reading the news on his phone beside them raised his handsome face suddenly, and his pupils constricted upon seeing Nicole frightened face.




Then, Nicole picked up May’s phone and said, “Lend me your phone, May.”




After speaking, she dialed her father’s number with trembling fingers.




“Hey!” Francis’ frantic voice was on the other end. “Is this Nicole?”




“Dad, where did Pete go missing? Where are you?” Nicole was so worried that she broke out in cold sweat.




Then, Nicole picked up May’s phone and said, “Lend me your phone, May.”




After speaking, she dialed her father’s number with trembling fingers.




“Hey!” Francis’ frantic voice was on the other end. “Is this Nicole?”




“Dad, where did Pete go missing? Where are you?” Nicole was so worried that she broke out in cold sweat.




“Near the playground. Amelia and I decided to bring him here, but he suddenly went missing. Nicole… I’m sorry… I…” Gerald was so anxious at the end that he choked up and almost burst into tears.




Losing a child was a serious matter!




When Nicole heard that Amelia was there too, she instantly understood that it was not her father who lost her son, but Amelia who had used some means to cause her son to go missing.




“Nicole, does Pete remember your number? Why didn’t you pick up your phone?”




Nicole immediately opened her bag, but there was no phone in it. She was completely baffled. Where is my phone? Where did it go?




She clearly remembered it lying in her bag, and her son remembered her phone number too. Hence, she believed that her son was smart enough to find someone and try to call her.




“Dad, I’ll go back to the company and look for my phone. Don’t worry! Pete will be fine. If you find him, call this phone number. I’ll go back to the company first.”




After Nicole finished speaking, she begged Drake who was sitting on the sofa and said, “President Butler's, will you take me back to the company?




I’m in a hurry.”




“Let’s go!” Of course, Drake knew that she was in a hurry. After all, her son was lost.







Thus, Nicole picked up her bag and followed Drake out quickly. As for May, she sar on the sofa and secretly wiped the sweat from her brow. So, was this why Amelia had asked her to remove Nicole phone?




Has Nicole lost her son?
