Chapter 1108 Chase after Her (1)
In the bustling international airport, Rose took a taxi and found Tom and Lawrence waiting for her.
“Mommy!” Sean was the first to spot Rose, waving his hand and running towards her. He hugged her tightly and wouldn’t let go.
“Sean.” Rose’s face softened as she patted his back, signaling him to release her. She then held hands with Sean and walked towards Tom and Lawrence who were waiting on the side.
“Tom, Lawrence!” Rose glanced at their two suitcases with few belongings. They looked relaxed. “I feel bad thinking about you guys leaving me soon. I couldn’t sleep well last night.”
Rose sighed as she felt a sense of reluctance in her heart; she really didn’t want to part ways with family and friends like this.
“The situation in the country isn’t good right now,” Tom offered some words of consolation. “I heard from Lawrence that it could be dangerous to stay any longer. So, leaving for abroad earlier might be a good idea, and it’ll put your mind at ease. Besides, make sure you sort out your matters quickly, and then you can join us overseas.”
Rose nodded repeatedly while muttering under her breath: I also want that too! I wish we could all leave together right now but it’s just not possible!
“Mommy, aren’t you eating with us?” Sean pouted while holding onto Rose’s clothes corner, looking disappointed.
His mother not coming with him to go abroad was one thing, but the fact that Leah hadn’t come either meant he didn’t know when he would see them again once he left the country.
“Mommy can’t leave right now, Sean, listen to your uncle and your big brother,” Rose’s sense of reluctance grew stronger as she spoke. She leaned down and kissed her son’s cheek. “Once Mommy resolves things in our country, we’ll bring Leah to find you. Then our family won’t ever have to be apart again, okay?”
Sean, feeling the weight of his mother’s words, nodded and said, “Okay, Mommy. I understand. I just don’t want to leave you.”
Rose, not entirely at ease, turned to Tom. “Tom, isn’t Khalil overseas? Although he’s a smart and responsible boy, please take care of him and Sean after you go.”
Tom nodded, reassuring her, “Of course, Rose. I’ll look after Khalil and Sean.”
Rose glanced at the time and then turned to Lawrence, who had been quiet all along. “Lawrence, I need your help. Please take care of my brother and my children. You…”
“I know,” Lawrence interrupted her words. “Rose, don’t worry about it. I will take good care of them while you stay here to handle things. We’ll wait for you abroad. We’ve said everything that needs to be said and reminded each other dozens of times already; why keep repeating it? Just trust me; I promise to do what you asked me to do.”
Rose choked up a bit as she realized how much she had been nagging him since they met last night.
“Okay, I trust you,” Rose waved her hand dismissively. “It’s getting late now; hurry up and go inside before boarding time.”NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
As Tom listened to his sister’s conversation with Lawrence on the side, he took a few more glances at Lawrence and thought secretly: This guy definitely has feelings for my sister; it’s so obvious.
But after spending these past few days together with him, Tom found that this man was more reliable than Elliot when it came down to taking care of his little sister.
Tom rubbed his chin as he looked back and forth between Rose and Lawrence; they seemed like such a perfect match not only in appearance but also in their overall vibe when standing next to each other.
Compared with Elliot who had endless affairs going on around him including an illegitimate child issue, Lawrence was much more trustworthy.
Unconsciously Tom’s heart leaned towards supporting Rose being with Lawrence if they were ever together…
Just as they were about to enter the airport lounge area, Sean let go of Rose’s hand suddenly, holding onto his stomach and crying out, “Uncle! Daddy Lawrence! My stomach hurts!”
“We still have some time left, Sean, you should go now. We’ll be here waiting for you.” Tom nodded reassuringly.
“I’ll take Sean there myself?” offered Lawrence worriedly.
Lawrence wanted to accompany Sean so that he wouldn’t get lost among the crowd but just as he turned around, he saw Sean quickly rushing far away from them, leaving him stunned.
Rose also noticed that her son disappeared with a blink of an eye. She smiled helplessly and said to Lawrence, “Forget it, that child is mischievous and won’t be in any danger. Lawrence, let’s wait here for a while. He’ll come back soon.”
Lawrence nodded and stood still.
On the other hand, Sean who ran far away was not in a hurry as they thought. He quickly ran away because he saw someone who shouldn’t be here – Elliot, his father!
The moment he saw Elliot scared him so much that he didn’t have time to say anything but just ran away.
Sean hasn’t forgotten that his father doesn’t even know his identity yet.
He has been hiding during this period of time and cannot appear in front of Elliot today when he wants to leave.
Sean peeked out secretly and only saw his father walking towards his mommy with an angry face.
With the assistant’s help, Elliot got detailed information about the flight ticket. As soon as he entered the airport, he locked onto Rose’s figure and walked past the crowd towards her position. But just before reaching Rose’s location, he saw a small figure resembling Leah running away.
Before seeing clearly who it was, the little one had run off at full speed.
Elliot hesitated for a moment, his brow furrowing in confusion. He took a step toward the direction the young boy had run but then retraced his steps and continued walking towards where Rose was standing.
When he left the villa, Leah was still at home, so it couldn’t have been her at the airport. Moreover, the child he saw was a young boy, not a girl.
His priority now is not to chase after boys but rather bring Rose back home.
As Elliot approached, he could clearly see Lawrence standing next to Rose, and behind her, Tom was partially obscured as he sat in a chair.
Great! Just great!
This woman really planned on leaving with another man out of country, taking her brother along too!
Elliot suddenly remembered those three plane tickets; black anger gathered in his pupils making his handsome face sink down .
“Rose!”
