Molly's eyes darkened as she thought about this.
After she was disowned by the May family a couple of years ago, she had nowhere to go but her foster parents' home in the countryside.
However, Molly's foster parents had always been petty. They had preferred a son over a daughter. Hence, when they knew that Diana was their real daughter, they did not want to keep Molly anymore.
Besides, Molly, who was pregnant, was a burden, so they chased her out without any hesitation!
Molly had nowhere to settle down. In the end, it was Grandpa Dave who found her and gave her a load of money before sending her abroad. That was why Molly and her babies could survive.
Initially, Molly did not want to return to Northfolk.
But Walter gave her a call a while ago and ordered her to cancel her engagement with Adam. Furthermore, Grandpa Dave was unwell recently, so she wanted to pay him a visit.
After all, Molly and her children were indebted to Grandpa Dave. He was the only person in the May family who cared about her!
Molly recomposed herself when she thought about it and looked at the three babies next to her. A gentle smile grew on her face as she patted their head. She then said softly, "The plane is about to land in an hour or so. We'll pay Grandpa Dave a visit once we've settled down. You will all have to greet him politely then, got it?"
The three children nodded diligently. They had porcelain white skin, fluffy cheeks, and a big set of clear eyes. They were extraordinarily delicate and beautiful, as if they were dolls.
"Don't worry, Mommy. We remembered what you told us. Grandpa Dave saved us, and he's also the person who treated you the best in the family! We'll just obey Grandpa Dave like you do, Mommy!"
The eldest of the bunch, Alex, nodded sternly as he hit his chest and guaranteed.
Ben, the middle child, and Claudia, the youngest child, raised their hands as they said, "Yeah, we remember."
Molly smiled with relief.
"But Mommy, are we going to stay in Northfolk after coming back here this time?" asked Alex again the next second.
Molly responded gently. "Not sure! But we have to stay in this country for some time. Grandpa Dave is rather weak, so I can help him with my medical knowledge. We'll decide when he gets better!"
"I see..." Alex listened to Molly as he brushed his sharp chin and pondered. "We'll need a lot of money for our return then!"
He tapped on the phone screen next to him and said, "To be honest, I logged onto the hackers' private network before boarding the plane. There's a mission from the Anderson family in Northfolk; they're offering ten million dollars for you to personally treat Sean Anderson's leg, Mommy. He is the current person in power in the Anderson family. I think you can take up this mission!"
Molly frowned upon hearing that.
These years, she was repelled by wealthy families like these because of the May family. So, she had decided that she would never treat people from wealthy families.
Besides, she had a lot on her plate during her return this time. She was afraid that she might not have the energy to do it.
So she could only reject Alex, "Darling, you know mommy's principle..."
Alex seemed to have already expected this as he nodded. But he was also secretly shooting glances at his siblings beside him at the same time.
The two other siblings immediately understood it as their eyes sparkled!
The naughty Claudia wrapped her arms around Molly's arm and spoke adorably, "Mommy, why don't you accept this offer? You have a big family to raise now!"
She pulled up her fingers and counted seriously. "There's me, my two brothers... Cherry, Kiwi, and Papaya; three pets. You must've got a lot of pressure!"
Ben chimed in and objected as well, "That's right, Mommy! We want to stay in a big mansion, eat a lot of good food, and play fun things... Honestly speaking, the project you asked me to invest in had no returns. We're poor now! We only have two to three hundred thousand dollars on our card now..."
Molly was surprised. "How come? Don't you have a good eye for these investments? We've never lost any money for the past two years!"
Ben looked as if everything was normal and said, "Investments have risks! Besides, no matter how good my judgment is, I'm still a five-year-old kid. Isn't it...normal for me to lose money?"
Molly was immediately at a loss for words.
Her three babies had always been extremely gifted.
Alex was good at calculations; Ben had a superior judgment of investments; and Claudia loved artsy activities like piano, chess, and books. She even had a good photographic memory.
Molly never worried much about her three babies.
But she would have never expected to face a financial risk as soon as they returned to their country.
Molly was in a daze for a while, but she still disagreed with her children. "Let's talk about this when we land!"
The three little ones grew anxious after listening to Molly!
The reason they insisted their mom treat that person in power in the Anderson family was that they suspected that that man was most probably their daddy!
...
At that moment, in the first-class cabin on the same flight--
A man in a black suit was sitting at the window seat in the front row.
His hair draped across his forehead, and his eyes were half-closed. He had long lashes, and his eyes were upturned like a fox, charming and passionate. His side profile was sharp, as if it was carefully sculpted. Together with his sharp nose and thin lips, he looked like a piece of art.
Tony, his assistant, was reporting softly next to him, "Sir, the physician you are looking for hasn't replied until now. It seems like that person's strange principle of not treating wealthy people is true."
Upon listening, that man looked up. His emotion-filled eyes were replaced by coldness and stateliness.
His words also had no warmth to them. "Continue to send that physician our request. Increase the pay if it isn’t enough until that person agrees! Also, track that person down. It's best if we could find that person."
"Understood." Tony nodded and obeyed his commands!
After an hour or so, the plane finally landed.
Molly replenished her sleep and was more clear-headed.
She took her three babies to get their luggage.
Molly's appearance had changed dramatically since a few years ago. She carried herself like a top model despite wearing a simple dress, exuding professionalism with every move she made. She was stunning and cool!
The triplets next to her were endearing and elegant.
They had attracted many praises and gazes as they walked over!
After they had taken their luggage, Molly was about to get a cab outside.
But Claudia suddenly grabbed her hand and said softly, "Mommy, I need to use the toilet. It's quite urgent."
The little girl kept her voice down, worrying that someone would hear her. She sounded like she was up to something.
It was extremely cute.
Molly could not help but smile and say, "Sure, I will bring you there."
Then, she asked her other children next to her, "Alex, Ben, do you want to go to the restroom?"
They shook their heads, telling her that they did not want to go. "We'll watch the luggage here. Hurry back, Mommy."
Molly was not worried that they might get lost.
These two would always find their way back no matter how far they went. Even if they bumped into a kidnapper, the kidnapper might be the one in danger.
"Sure, stay put."
Molly reminded them as usual before she held her daughter's hand and walked toward the restroom.
Alex watched them leave. He sat on his small luggage as he looked down and played with his phone.
He had always been interested in electronics and had already mastered hacking.
Ben was more active. It was his first time in his country, so he was curious as he looked around everywhere.
Suddenly, he saw a figure in a wheelchair not far from them.
His eyes sparkled as he tugged on his brother's arm. "Alex, look! That man...the CEO of Anderson Corporation! He's the man we're looking for!"
Upon listening, Alex's eyes followed Ben's finger and saw Sean Anderson!
The man was sitting upright in the wheelchair quietly. He had a thin blanket on his lap, and his eyes were extremely cold, his lips pursed.
Even though Sean was in a wheelchair pushed by his assistant, his strong and honorable presence was unaffected.
Behind them were four other bodyguards.
They looked incredibly overbearing, so the passersby did not dare to look at them straight!
He was definitely the "daddy" Alex and Ben suspected!
Alex was immediately energized.
Before they came to Northfolk, Alex was still thinking of ways to approach this man whom they assumed to be their "daddy"!
After all, he was the most powerful person in the Anderson family! After he got injured, the Andersons were even more protective of him, so a normal person could never approach him.
Alex did not expect to be so lucky to bump into Sean the first day they landed!
The wheels in Alex's brain spun fast as he immediately waved to his brother. "Ben, come here!"
He then whispered to Ben, "Do you see that person's luggage? It's just like ours. You should... Then, you..."
After some time, Ben patted his chest. "Alright, leave it to me!" said the boy.
He then pulled the big black luggage next to him and scrambled toward Sean's direction.
"Bang!" A loud noise exploded. A few pieces of luggage crashed into each other and fell onto the ground.
Sean was sitting in the wheelchair, so he had no time to react. Thankfully, his bodyguards and assistant managed to protect him immediately.
Sean frowned and looked at the culprit.
All he saw was a small boy about four to five years old falling next to his feet. The boy was crying in pain, "Ow, it hurts!"
The child had red lips and pearly white teeth, but his face was scrunched up together. He was gasping, and his eyes turned red as if he was going to cry.
Not far away from them was Alex, who was shocked when he saw his brother falling down. He immediately rushed toward them and helped Ben up as he asked worriedly, "How are you? Are you injured?"
"N-No."
Ben sniffled and said adorably, "I didn't manage to stop it!"
Alex was amused as he checked on Ben. After confirming that Ben was alright, he looked at Sean and his men and said sincerely, "Sorry, mister. My brother is rather naughty and accidentally crashed into you. Are you okay?"
Sean was already emotionally unstable, so he had been pulling a long face ever since they landed. He had not expected this to happen. When his anger started to rise, he saw this beautiful pair of twins.
The boy who came after even genuinely apologized and showed concern about him.
No matter how angry Sean was, he could not bear himself to reproach them anymore! However, he still had to tell them, "The airport is crowded. Do you know how dangerous it is to run around so fast?"
Tony recollected himself and disciplined them, "That's right. You almost bumped into this mister here. If it wasn't because you are still little kids, you'd already be pinned on the ground, unable to move!"
The bodyguards around Sean almost made a move too!
The brothers understood their mistake and apologized continuously, "Yes, we guarantee we won't be cheeky anymore. Please forgive us, mister!"
"It's fine if you know your mistakes, you can go back now."
Sean responded flatly and ordered Tony, "Let's go."
Tony heard him and signaled the bodyguards to take the luggage.
Alex was quick and had also pulled one of the luggage...
Sean and his men left very quickly.
Ben stood at the same spot and tip-toed to have a better view. When he saw that the men were nowhere to be seen, he mumbled, "Is he really our dad? He's so cold!"
"That's because he still doesn't know you yet. How warm do you expect him to be?" Alex responded calmly.
Ben pouted, "He should've at least had some small talk with us or given us a hug or something. We're cute! Besides, don't they all say that family members have good chemistry with each other?"
Alex found it hilarious as he tapped on Ben's shoulder, looking like a tiny adult. "He might not know that we exist... After he knows us, you can ask him for hugs as many as you want! Let's head back first, mommy will panic if she doesn't see us when she gets back."
Ben nodded and looked out the airport before he dragged his luggage to the spot they were initially waiting at.
Molly had no idea about this incident. She took her three children and went to the hotel as soon as she got back.
Their return to Northfolk this time was a little rushed. Molly booked a hotel for them beforehand and planned to settle down before taking out some time to visit the May family.
However, while she was keeping away their luggage, she was shocked to find that the luggage was filled with men's clothes! There were blazers, blouses, neckties, and... men's boxers. There was also a document.
Molly was immediately dumbfounded!
'Did I take the wrong luggage?'
At the same time--
In the presidential suite in the same hotel--
Sean had just arrived and was about to freshen up.
He went overseas to settle some acquisition matters, so he was busy for a whole week.
He had to attend a banquet in this hotel as soon as he came back, so he never really had any time off.
Sean commanded Tony, "Get my clothes out. I'm going to freshen up."
"Alright!"
Tony responded before he pulled the luggage over to him and opened it up.
At the very next second, Tony was completely stunned when he saw the items in the luggage.
Sitting in the luggage were exclusively female clothes, skirts, skincare products, a laptop, sachets...
Sean heard the commotion and opened his eyes. When he saw what was in front of him, he frowned and asked Tony coldly, "What happened?"
The bodyguards were stupefied as well!
The pieces of luggage had never left them ever since they took it.
So how did the items in it change?
While everyone was still in a daze, one of them was suddenly reminded of something. "In the airport! The kid...that pair of twins. They had the same luggage as ours, so they might've taken the wrong one!"
Tony also recalled that incident as he zipped up the luggage immediately and said, "Why are you still standing here? Hurry up and find our luggage back. There's an important document in it!"
If the document got lost, everything they had done would be wasted!
The bodyguards knew how important the document was as well, so they did not dawdle and hurried out of the presidential suite.
On the other hand, Molly was already clear about the reason why they had the wrong luggage.
Alex looked down and looked as sincere as one could be. He admitted his mistake, saying, "It's my fault, Mommy. Please punish me."
Upon speaking, Alex extended his tiny fair arm and turned his palm upwards, awaiting his punishment.
Molly was amused. "You didn't do it on purpose anyway. Why should I punish you?"
There were not any important things in her luggage as she had all the documents with her, so she was not worried at all.
As for this luggage... Molly had already confirmed the owner of it.
On the last page of the document were two big words, "Sean Anderson," and they were written flamboyantly.
The details of the document were about an extremely important acquisition.
Since it was such an important document, the Anderson Corporation would definitely search for it themselves, given their ability!
However, she was still shocked.
The Anderson family had just offered her a large sum of money for her to treat someone in their family, and she bumped into him the very next moment.
'What sort of weird fate is this?'
Molly was mumbling in her heart, but she still told her three babies, "Take some rest first. I'll bring you out for dinner sometime later."
Claudia immediately put her hands up excitedly. "Yay, I want to eat some seafood! I purposely went to do my research before we came here, and I heard that the seafood in this hotel is superb!"
Molly laughed when she looked at the hungry eyes of her little girl. "Sure, my little foodie. I'll bring all of you there to feast later!"
Claudia exclaimed happily.
Ben chimed in as well, "Other than seafood, there are eight famous dishes as well. We've got to eat them all."
Alex smiled as he listened to his siblings talking, but he did not join the conversation. He just went on to take his laptop and sat down.
While Molly was busy responding to the other two, she reminded Alex, "Alex, don't spend too much time on the computer. It's not good for your eyes."
"Sure, mommy."
Alex answered obediently, but his hands were moving fast, bypassing the firewall as he logged onto the hacker's intranet easily.
The Anderson family had already increased their offer to a billion dollars.
Alex thought, 'This man, who is probably my father, has a really deep pocket!'
However, the issue was not about the money but the mistaken luggage. How could he make his mom meet that man?
When his mom got pregnant unknowingly, she did not know who their father was when she gave birth to the three of them!
In order to search for his mom's husband and his siblings' dad, Alex was extremely worried!
Molly was unaware of her son's thoughts at that moment.
Suddenly, her phone rang on the table.
The person who called her was Grandpa Dave!
Molly immediately answered the call.
"Molly, why aren't you back yet? Didn't the plane land some time ago? Why haven't I seen you in the house?"
Grandpa Dave's voice sounded old and rich, and it was filled with concern and warmth on the other end of the phone.
Molly could not help but smile as she responded gently, "I'm in the hotel, grandpa. You should know that I don't want to stay in the May family's mansion!"
Grandpa Dave sighed when he heard Molly. "That's true... What's the point of coming back to a home like this? You'd just be sad if you came back, so it's better if you didn't. Anyway, when will you visit me with my three dearest great-grandchildren? I can't wait to meet them."
Molly took a look at the time and hesitated. "Grandpa, I came back this time to talk about calling off the engagement as well. It isn’t convenient for me to bring my children with me. I'll meet you first and bring you out to have a reunion with the three of them after the engagement is settled. What do you think? I'm going to stay for a while this time, so you can meet us every day."
Grandpa Dave was elated. "Sure! Hurry here. I'm waiting for you."
Molly smiled and said okay before hanging up the phone. She then told her three children.
"Mommy has to go somewhere now. I'll rush back to have dinner with you later. Don't wander around while I'm gone, okay?"
The three children listened diligently. "Got it, Mommy!"
Molly was still rather worried, so she told Alex, "Help me to look after your brother and sister. Don't let them mess around, okay?"
"Sure, mommy. I'll take care of them. Please be careful on your way there."
Alex told Molly with a stern expression.
Molly gave him a peck affectionately and walked out of the room.
While she was waiting for the elevator, the door to the presidential suite that was next to the elevator opened.
Tony pushed Sean out of the room and was about to head down to eat something.
When they reached the elevator, Sean's wheelchair stopped next to Molly as well.
Perhaps it was because Molly was a physician. She could not help but look at the man twice.
Sean initially just looked straight ahead of him.
When the elevator stopped, and its door opened, he saw the woman next to him move, bringing a gush of wind with her.
A herb-filled scent reached him, a scent that was exactly the same as the sachet they found in the luggage they had wrongly taken!
Sean squinted and acted fast as he immediately grabbed her wrist, saying, "Stand there!"
