“Brother, you find that uncle familiar, too, right?”

The smile on Pei Ge’s face froze at her daughter’s words.

She did not expect to hear her daughter say that.

What was even more unexpected was that her son… shared the same sentiment.

“Yes. Slightly familiar.”

The boy nodded expressionlessly, but those dark eyes of his looked very serious.

He looked like a little adult when he gave that reply to his sister.

“Mommy, have we seen that uncle somewhere?”

The girl peered at her questioningly.

Seeing the curiosity in the two’s bright eyes, she took a deep breath and suppressed the nervousness in her.

“No, you’ve never seen that uncle before.”

She gently rubbed their heads.

It seemed that… she had to hasten their return to New York.

She could not stay here longer as she got this feeling that, if she were to stay longer, her secret would be found out by that man.

Her children… might leave her if that happened.

She did not wish for that to happen.

Lowering her head and seeing the confusion in her children’s eyes, she pursed her lips.

Could blood ties really be so potent?

Why were these two drawn to that man?

“Mommy?”

Although the two saw the complex look on their mother’s face, they were unable to interpret it.

“You two, go and play first; mommy will cook something for you,” she merely said, patting their heads.

“Alright. I’ll bring my sister to play.”

Pei Ge finally sighed in relief when the two children started focusing on other things.

She was truly terrified that her children would ask her questions that she had no ready answers…

Walking into the kitchen, she considered returning to New York until everything had calmed while she cooked.

Based on her interactions with that man these past few days, she was sure that he would definitely not let her go simply…

Still, she could not accept it if she just upped and left like this.

Not only had she not taken revenge for her parents yet, her plans were just about to succeed; thus, she did not wish to return at this point…

She finished preparing dinner amid her endless deliberation. After removing her apron, she called her children for dinner.

However, her two children seemed to be playing in one of the rooms and did not reply to her.

“Where have those two rascals gone…”

She called out to them again as she looked for them.

Eventually, she located the two in the study, which had excellent soundproofing.

“You guys, what are you doing there?”

Opening the door to the study, she saw her kids’ heads leaning against each other as they spoke into something.

“Mommy is calling us for dinner! Brother, we’ll go eat first!”

“Bye, brother!”

She was stunned at the words coming from her children’s mouths.

Brother…

Ping An…

“Who are you talking to?!”

All of a sudden, her heart squeezed.

They… indeed had a younger brother… but that younger brother was long gone.

“We’re just talking to the younger brother in this walkie-talkie!”

Her daughter brought the walkie-talkie to her as though presenting the latter with a treasure.

“Walkie-talkie…”

She was stunned but quickly returned to her senses when she realized who her children were conversing with.

“Ji Chi?”

Taking the walkie-talkie from her little girl, she asked tentatively.

Zzz—

The boy’s voice quickly sounded following the static.

“Mommy, you haven’t visited me in a long while!”

The child exclaimed aggrievedly the moment he heard her voice.

He sounded very aggrieved.

“Sorry…”

She suddenly felt guilty when she heard his complaining voice.

Not only had she not seen the boy in a long while, she would probably be unable to visit him in the future…

“When are you bringing Brother An An and Little Sister An An to visit me? I really want to play with them!”

The girl was quick to refute his words.

“What ‘little sister’?! I’m obviously your older sister! Older sister! Call me ‘older sister’!”

“Little sister!”

“Older sister!”

“Little sister!”

Pei Ge’s mood improved when she heard the two squabbling.

Instantly, she felt much happier.

If her Ping An were still around, would he… be like Ji Chi and quarrel with his sister on who was older between them?

“Alright. Stop fighting,” she said amusedly.

The two quieted down after hearing her words.

“Ji Chi, auntie will bring An An and Ran Ran to play with you next time.”

“Not auntie! It’s mommy!”

The child quickly corrected her.

She finally turned off the walkie-talkie after telling the child to eat his food on time and not be picky with it.

“Alright. You two, let’s eat now.”

Putting down the walkie-talkie, she held her children in each hand and led them to the dining room.

The two were delighted to see the sumptuous spread on the dining table.

The two enjoyed their dinner and even sometimes affectionately fed their mother.

After dinner, the little kids transformed into ten thousand whys as they started asking her question.

“Mommy, where is that little brother from earlier? Can we play with him?”

“Huh?”

She was stunned to hear her daughter’s question and, for a moment, did not know how to explain it to her.

However, before she could answer, her son spoke.

“Yes, little brother seems very lonely.”
