Chapter 272 Reunion The man was dressed in a black suit and looked indifferent. But he was goodâlooking, with prominent eyebrows, deep eyes, and high nose.
Keller opened her mouth in surprise and looked at the man, âWow, you are tall! You are a little taller than Uncle Green!â
Alston looked down and saw a little girl wearing a pink princess dress. She has round pink cheeks and watery eyes.
For some reason, he felt like his heart had been melted by this cute girl.
He didnât like kids. But when he saw this little girl, he didnât know why he wanted to hug her as if there was blood contact between them.
He crouched down so that the little girl wouldnât have to look up. He handed the ball to her. âIs this your ball?â
âYes, this is my ball. Thank you!â Keller held the ball and thanked the man in front of her politely.
âThank you. Iâm Keller. If it werenât for you, I canât catch my ball!â
Hearing her sweet voice, Alston stroked her furry hair, and it made him even want to pinch her small fleshy face.
âOh, youâre Keller!â
âYeah!â Keller nodded, her watery eyes filled with obedience and liking of Alston, âI like you. I think Iâve seen you somewhere beforeâ
Alston was amused by her words. Even the pickâup lines she said sounded also lovely.
âI like you, too!â His voice was hoarse. He hugged Keller, and the fleshy girl was as soft as he had imagined.
He looked around and found no adults looking for the child. Then, he looked at the girl in his arms, âWhere are your parents?â
Keller held the ball in one hand, wrapped Alstonâs neck around, leaned in his arms, and said softly, âMom has gone to the bathroom, Dad... what is dad? I donât have a dad!â
Alston was stunned. Hearing her innocent words, he felt a little sour. It seemed that she was a child from a singleâparent family.
His face was full of disapproval when he heard that her mother had gone to the bathroom. The childâs mother was careless to leave the child alone in this crowded airport.
âYour mother is so irresponsible, how could she leave such a lovely baby here alone? What if you are trafficked?â
His voice was serious. Although Keller was only a little over three years old, she understood that Alston was blaming her mother. She tapped him on the shoulder with a serious face.
âI like you, but you canât blame my mom. My mom is good to me and my brother. She is tired. My mom went to the bathroom and let my uncle take care of us. Itâs me chasing the ball and running away. You canât blame her. Do you understand me?â
Alston heard her righteous words. He wanted to laugh but answered in a serious tone, âYes, I heard it. Your mom is the best mom. I misunderstood her, and Iâll say sorry to her.â
âAll right!â Keller calmed down instantly and wrapped him around the neck. Her face was full of attachment.
Alston shook his head, held Keller, and walked towards the radio room. He hoped to find her family through the radio.
Desmond got rid of the group of people and looked for his sister, but he couldnât find her anywhere. Just as he was about to give up, he looked up and saw a man in a black suit and with an unfriendly expression on his face was holding Keller to leave.
Desmond got angry. This man wanted to take his sister away. He stole his sister!
Thinking of this, he rushed behind Alston and gave him a kick on the shin.
âPut down my sister! Bad guy, put her down!â
Alston felt a pain in his shin. He looked down and saw a little boy.
The little boy was wearing a small tuxedo suit with his hair combed back. With tense look on his little face, it made him look very cool and handsome.
Alston frowned, thinking that the little boy looked familiar, but he couldnât remember where he had met him.
The little boy was angry, glared at him, and said, âPut my sister down. There are many policemen in the airport. If you dare to take my sister away, I will call the police!â
âOh, you are pretty smart!â Alston laughed, and put down the little girl in his arms.
As soon as Keller stood still, Desmond quickly pulled her behind him and looked at Alston warily. âYouâd better get out quick!â
âBrother!â Keller said, tugging at the hem of his brotherâs clothes, âHe wants to help me find my mom. Mom said that we should be polite to those who help us.â
âYou little fool. This man wants to steal you. If you are lost, you will never see mom, uncle, grandma, Greg and Joyce, you know?â
Desmond said seriously.
As if Keller was frightened, she looked at Alston and compressed her mouth as if about to cry, âAre you a bad guy? You want to sell me?â
Greg and Mrs. Lewis were afraid they would run away, so they often used this to scare them. So Keller knew that if she ran away, she would be sold.
Alston was speechless when he heard these words. He had never been regarded as a bad guy who kidnapped children. The boy was such a goose.
âKeller, Iâm not a bad man. Look, Iâm going to take you there, and ask the staff in the broadcasting room to find your mom. Then, she will pick you up!â
As soon as he finished, Kellerâs eyes lit up. âReally?â
She knew that he was not a bad man!
âYou idiot!â Desmond saw that his sister believed this person easily, he spat and looked up at Alston, âOkay, now you donât have to go to the radio room. I know where uncle is. You can go!â
As he said that, he pulled the reluctant Keller away.
The boy was wary, but he was also smart.
The two children held hands, and their plump bodies were close to each other. Alston looked at their cute backs and sighed in his heart, âThe parents of these two little guys are so lucky.â
Alston stood there and watched their backs all the time. It wasnât until a tall and handsome man came in a hurry and hugged his two children that he breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and left.
When Lorenz came back from buying juice, he saw that there was only luggage on the seat, and the two children were gone. He was anxious and looked for them everywhere. He was relieved as he saw the two coming back hand in hand, and ran over to pick them up.
âWhere have you been? Didnât I tell you not to run around? There are so many people at the airport, what should I do if someone takes you away?â
His voice was agitated. If the two children were lost, Cynthia would hate him.
Looking at uncleâs anxious look, Keller lowered her head. Her face was full of guilt, and she laced her fingers.
âSorry. Itâs my fault. I wanted to catch the little ball. But I lost my way. Iâm sorry to have worried you.â
Desmondâs face was also tense, and guilt flashed in his eyes, âI didnât take good care of my sister.â
Lorenz breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing them lowering their heads and apologizing, all the anger in his heart. disappeared. He hugged them and said in a helpless voice, âForget it this time. It canât happen again. Your mom and I will be very anxious.â
âYes!â The two children nodded and promised never to run around again.
âWell, I bought you fresh juice.â Lorenz took out three cups of juice, plugged in straws, and handed two cups to them.
âThis one is your momâs. Give it to her when she comes back.â
âYeah, I like fresh juice!â Keller held the big cup and drank it happily.
Seeing the juice at the corner of his sisterâs mouth, Desmond took out a handkerchief to wipe it off in disgust, âYou idiot!â
âIâm not an idiot!â Keller retorted.
Desmond said, âJust now, you were almost kidnapped!â
Lorenzâs smile froze when he heard this. He frowned, âWhat? What happened just now?â
