Chapter 350 Disappeared From Sight

“Okay.” The two children bowed their heads again.

When Melanie spotted the expressions on their faces, she realized that things had gone a little sour.

Instantly, she reached over to set the food out in front of them and said, “Hurry up and eat. If it’s not enough, we can order more.”

Just a simple and somewhat caring sentence like that was enough to make the boys happy. They nodded and said, “Okay.”

“Dig in.” Melanie eked out an insincere smile.

“Mmhmm!” The boys began to eat with relish.

Now that they stopped talking, Melanie thoroughly enjoyed the moment of peace and quiet.

To her dismay, the children were itching to go back out and play, so they scarfed their food down at maximum speed and finished the entire meal in under 20 minutes.

Morales stood up and stared out the door. “Mommy, can we go on the other rides now?”

Melanie pulled a long face. “You two just finished eating so you need to sit a while before going back out to play, or your tummies will hurt.”

“Let’s wait here for ten minutes then, okay?” Morgan tried to strike a deal.

“You need to sit for at least half an hour.”

“Huh?” That long? The boys fell limply back down into their seats.

They cupped their faces with their hands and stared out the window like they were a couple of birds inside a cage.

The half-hour wait felt like an eternity to them.

It was hard for young children to sit still.

The two boys were even more restless as Melanie was focused on her phone and did not bother to entertain them at all.

“Mommy, we’ll go out and play by ourselves, okay?” Morales and Morgan really could not bear to sit still any longer.

Melanie’s expression hardened as she set her phone down.

What would she do if something happened when they went out by themselves?

She could not shoulder such responsibility, so she stretched lazily and said, “Fine, let’s go out and play.”

“Yay! Mommy, let’s go.” The boys ran off at once.

Melanie followed behind them slowly, reluctant to stick close to them.

For all the remaining rides and attractions, she waited for them outside without joining in.

Just then, she got a call from Hanson.

Melanie felt a jolt of excitement as she quickly answered the call. “Hanson…”

Before she could even finish her sentence, Hanson’s frosty voice cut her off. “Bring Morales and Morgan back at once.”

He heard about her taking the kids as soon as his meeting ended and his expression instantly turned grim.

“But we’re at the amusement park right now, and they’re having a great time,” Melanie said.

“Don’t make me repeat myself.” Hanson’s voice was as cold as ice.

Melanie did not have the guts to put up a fight. She immediately said, “I’ll bring them back right now.”

However, when she looked up, the boys who had been on the Flying Cars ride just a moment ago had now disappeared from sight.

Melanie did not even remember to hang up before calling out, “Morales, Morgan, where are you?!”

When Hanson heard her frantic exclaims, he frowned and gritted his teeth. “What happened?”

Melanie’s hands were trembling from fright and she could not bring herself to say anything.

“Tell me what happened right now.” Hanson’s voice was like a giant iceberg crushing Melanie.

She stumbled around and lost her balance before falling onto the ground as she explained to Hanson with a terrified voice, “Morales and Morgan are missing.”

Hanson hung up the call without saying a word.

After the call was dropped, Melanie was in a daze for a long while before she managed to move her frozen limbs.
