Chapter 47

Seeing Daniel hang up the call from Alice, Rachel immediately reached out with a hand, smacked Daniel on the back of his head, and chastised him disappointedly.

“Why did you hang up a call from your wife? After all the past difficulties, you’ve finally gotten a wife now. Don’t mess it up! Pick up the call now!”

Daniel’s expression darkened till the darkness could overflow. Alas, the Kaur family rules prohibited him from defying a female family member.

His lips were pressed into a thin line, and in the end, when Alice called the second time, he swiped the “answer” icon on his phone.

“Hey, Daniel, have you brought the kids home yet? I was playing a game with a friend and forgot the time. Really sorry” The girl’s voice was filled with remorse,

“Where are you? I’ll take them to see you,” Daniel said.

The tone was cold as always, such that one could not tell if it was happy or angry.

Alice took a look at the storage boxes on the floor. “I’m at Riverhill One. Is it convenient for you to take a cab here? My friend gave me four boxes of king crabs, Let’s take them back and share them with big sis and the others?”

“Hm, got it. I’m coming over now,” Daniel replied in a tranquil tone.

Yet, as Alice heard it through the phone, she felt uncertain for a moment. “Daniel, you’re not upset, right?”

“What do you think?” Daniel asked back, sounding quite unpleasant.

“Then… let’s talk when we meet…” Hearing Daniel’s unusually ice-cold manner of speech, Alice could not help but feel guilty.

After hanging up, Alice briefly explained to Josh’s friend over the in-game chat and then called Josh.

“My husband’s coming over. I think it’s better if you don’t meet him for now in case he misunderstands.”

“What will he misunderstand?” Came Josh’s bellowing reply through the phone. “I’ve yet to blame him for abducting you, and he’s got the nerve to misunderstand you? You tell him that his big brother-in-law wants to see him this moment.” “Josh, calm down!” Alice’s head ached, and she rubbed her temples.

“My husband is a Kaur Group employee. If he sees you, he will get the fright of his life!

“Give me some time to talk to him about this. Then we’ll find a chance and arrange for you two to meet!

Alright?”

Josh gave a double humph. “Oh, an employee of my family’s company! Then all the more we should meet! Then I can lay down some rules with him!”

Alice’s patience broke. “Josh Kaur, if you dare find him and make things hard for him, I’ll sell all your in-

game gear! Just try

and see!”

And that deflated all of Josh’s anger. “Okay, okay, okay! I won’t meet him! But we can’t put this off forever! As a brother-in-law, I’ll have to meet him someday!”

As the two were wrangling with each other, Rachel Kaur had already appeared opposite from Josh. He gave Alice some more words of caution, then waved at Rachel while approaching her.

“Rachel, what is it you want to do tonight?” Josh chuckled as he got close.

And Rachel pulled him into the car.

After Alice finished packing up the king crabs, Daniel arrived downstairs.

She carried the stuff into the elevator, and just as she walked out of it, Aidy and Coco ran to her excitedly like milk swallows swooping into a forest.

At the sight of the children, Alice’s heart melted instantly. She rushed to kiss them and said remorsefully, “Sorry, kids. mommy forgot to pick you up today, didn’t she?”

The three kids shook their heads in unison.

“We’re boys, and waiting for the girl is what we’re supposed to do!”

“It’s an honor!”

“mommy, want us to help carry the things?”

Hearing Benny’s words, Alice looked at the boxes of king crabs on the floor and said with a smile, “Thanks Benny, but it’s 1/2

okay. mommy can do this! Oh, by the way, these are king crabs. Tonight, mommy is going to make something super delicious for you all.”

“Wow, mommy’s the best!” The three kids cheered in excitement.

Next, Alice scooped up three storage boxes while Daniel helped her by carrying another box in one arm and their youngest son in the other.

When they reached the parking lot, they saw Daniel’s special assistant, Larry, walking toward them.

Alice stared at Lany in puzzlement for a moment and then asked, “Daniel, he’s not the cab driver, right?”
