Chapter 251
Chapter 251 The Kids Should Come With Me
"It's the one near Swan Lake." Daisy said, "I think Ms. Louise found out about the place from the internet."
Upon hearing the name of the place, Benjamin and Abel exchanged a quick glance. Then, both of them turned around and rushed out of the shop.
Forty minutes later, both of their cars pulled up at the race track near Swan Lake. There were traces of a huge event taking place in that area prior to their arrival. However, the place was completely deserted by the time they got there.
They even found Emmeline's old motorcycle parked at the roadside.
Benjamin and Abel tried to look for new clues through their connections next. Soon enough, they managed to get in touch with the organizer of the race.
That person told them that the young lady in a black outfit won first place twice. Then, she left the place in an expensive-looking car.
Emmeline won first place twice?!
Abel could hardly believe his ear. Then, the thought of Emmeline missing filled him with endless worry.
We just managed to get Timothy to return to us safely. Did Emmeline fall into the hands of those involved in human trafficking this time?
That doesn't make sense, though. She has very decent fighting skills.
The race was held in the quiet outskirts. There were no surveillance cameras installed around the area. Both men had a lost, anxious expression on their faces as they seemed to have come to a dead end in their search for Emmeline.
Just then, the message notification ringtone of Benjamin's and Abel's phones sounded.
Both men checked their phones and looked back at each other eventually.
"It's news about Emma?" Abel began.
"Mhm." Benjamin nodded. "You received a message too?"
Abel replied, "It says that she's safe. It even mentioned that we should wait patiently for more news."
Benjamin heaved a deep sigh. "Who would do something like this?"
"Emma... Where are you right now..." Abel muttered under his breath.
Benjamin's brows drew together in a frown. "Ms. Louise... I hope you're alright..."
Suddenly, both of them were struck with the same thought.
Emmeline's disappearance was clearly premeditated. Could the person be targeting her three children...
Abel called out in a steely voice, "We need to head back right now. All of this might have been the culprit's trick to distract us!"
Benjamin had gotten into his Bentley and started the engine before Abel could finish his sentence.
Both of them sped all the way back and entered Nightfall Cafe. Fortunately, things appeared peaceful inside the cafe. Still, Benjamin and Abel quickly went to the second floor to check how the children were.
The children had just eaten their meals and were enjoying their playtime. Neither Daisy nor Sam had told them that Emmeline was missing, so the kids thought that their mother was working at the filming studio.
When those two adult men came into the room in a rush, all three kids were slightly surprised by their sudden appearance.
Sun dropped his toy.
Moon turned his gaze away from the computer screen.
Star put down the book in his hands.
"Daddy!"
"Uncle Benjamin!"
All three kids greeted the men one by one.
"What are you doing?" Sun asked curiously.
"Was the big bad wolf chasing you two?" Moon asked.
"Was there a fire outside?" Star asked.
Yet, no one tried to answer their questions.
Abel took a few big strides toward the children. Then, he stretched out his arms to hold all of them in his embrace.
However, he only managed to hold Sun and Star. Benjamin managed to snatch Star away since the child was sitting a bit further away from the other two kids.
"Daddy! Uncle Benjamin! What are you two doing?" Those three kids asked almost simultaneously in surprise.
"I'm taking all of you to my place." Abel shot a glare at Benjamin. "Please hand Moon over to me!"
"Why should I do that?" Benjamin retorted, "They should stay with me instead!"
"They are coming with me! I'm their dad!" Abel said furiously.
"You're not really their dad! In fact, you and I are not that different!"
"Still, the three of them call me Daddy!"
"Well, they call me Uncle Benjamin!"
"You are aware that there's a great difference between calling someone dad and calling someone uncle, right?"
Benjamin was rendered speechless by Abel's illogical claims.
