Chapter 342" Miss The Kids

Alice’s POV

I felt very lonely after the kids were taken away. I would wake up every day, missing the kids, but when
I couldn’t see them, my heart felt empty. And after about a week later, I just couldn’t take it anymore. I
approached Christine, and suggested that we go to see the kids.

“No, I don’t want to go there. I am sure that if i did go there, Scarlett will only pester me to convince
Charles to divorce her!” Christine rejected my suggestion instantly.

“In the worst case scenario, you just might have to continue to pretend to have a headache! The kids
haven’t seen you in such a long time and I am sure that they miss you a lot!” I continued to persuade
her.

“Do you really think Scarlett doesn‘t know that I‘m just pretending to be ill? And I am really
embarrassed to put up this act! So I am not going! If you want, you can go on your own!” Christine
snorted, it was evident that she was not moved by my words at all.

“Charles started a mess with his wife, and now he is expecting us to clean up after him! How can he
make us elders worry about him?” I couldn‘t help but complain.

“Scarlett is also not that easy to be swayed away. She is really a smart woman!” Christine frowned, and
she was really dissatisfied with Charles for getting ridiculed.

“Forget it. I‘ll go on my own, then.” I didn‘t want to persuade her anymore. After taking a bottle of tonic
with me, I left the house in a hurry.

Just when I was about to reach Garden Street, I called Charles and informed him that I was going to
see the kids.

“Why are you telling me when you are only going to see your own grandsons?” Charles asked in reply.



“This is all your fault. You couldn‘t even handle Scarlett, and you‘re the reason I was separated from
my grandkids!” I blamed him.

“I wasn’t planning on letting the kids live in the Moore mansion for the rest of their lives, anyway. You
were going to be separated from them sooner or later. As for Scarlett, I will handle her. You don‘t have
to worry.”

After arriving at Garden Street, I did not knock on the door, because Charles had already given me the
password.

However, I was surprised to find that the door did not open even after I entered the password.

With a frown I figured that I must have entered the wrong number, so I quickly tried again.

But the door continued to remain locked.

Seeing that, I realized that something must be wrong. The password was the wedding date of Scarlett
and Charles. How could I have entered that wrong?

Just when I was about to try it again, the door suddenly opened from the inside.

“Mrs. Moore, you are here.” Janet seemed to be a little nervous to see me.

“Did Scarlett change the password?” I asked her in a daze.

“Yes, she changed it a few days ago,” Janet replied.

That made me feel a little uncomfortable, but I did not say anything to her. As soon as I walked in, I saw
James playing with his toys, alone. The moment he saw me, he ran to me with a smile.

“James, my baby! I haven’t seen you in such a long time. Did you miss me? Did you have fun here?” I
then bent down to pick him up.



“Where are Jerry and Jason?” I asked with a worried expression, noticing that the twins were not
around.

“They are sleeping in their room,” Janet answered.

“Is Scarlett upstairs, then?”

“Yes. She needs to go back to the TV station, so she is getting ready upstairs. Tracy has gone up to
inform her.”

After giving her a nod, I continued to play with James.

Scarlett‘s POV:

By the time I walked downstairs, I saw Alice and James playing with Lego blocks.

“Mom.” I hurried over to greet her Alice quickly held my hand, and we both sat down on the sofa.

“Scarlett, are you going to work now?” I smiled and replied with a faint nod.

“I guess that‘s good. Once you start living a normal life, you won‘t be making blind or disorderly
conjectures. By the way, do you have any clue of where Charles is living now? He has not come home
in a while. Our house is really big, so even if you don‘t want to share bed with him, you can at least
sleep in separate rooms. The kids might not be very happy to see that their father is not around,” Alice
said in a concerned voice. I couldn‘t say anything to her, so I lowered my head in silence.

“Scarlett, your father passed away when you were very young, right? I am sure you will be able to
understand the feeling of not having your father around. If the kids don‘t get their father‘s love because
of you, then they might end up blaming you once they grow up.” Alice‘s words felt like thorns pricking
my heart. Sadness clouded my heart when I realized that it was my choice that was causing my kids to
have an incomplete family



“Scarlett, Christine also misses the kids a lot, so if you don‘t mind, I would like to take them back to the
Moore mansion for a few days.” Alice quickly changed the topic after seeing that I was quiet. However,
I did not want to agree to her request. It had only been a week since I brought my kids home, and now
she was trying to take them away again.

“Scarlett, if you are really worried about them, then you can also come and live with us. You focus on
your work during the day, anyway. So you don‘t really have time to be with the kids during the day. Why
don‘t you let me take care of them during the day and you can come back to the Moore mansion in the
night to spend time with them?” Alice added.

“I have not been that busy lately, so I can very well take care of the kids on my own.” Honestly, I did not
want to bear the pain of being parted from my kids again. It had taken a long time for them to come
back to me, so I did not want to let anyone take them away from me. “Scarlett, how about I take the
kids back to the Moore Mansion today and bring them back the day after tomorrow? You will also have
some free time to hang out with your friends. I promise I will take good care of them.” Alice was very
persistent on taking the kids away. Suppressing the anger and dissatisfaction in my heart, I tried my
best to come up with a way to politely refuse her.

All of a sudden, the doorbell rang I hurried to open the door. Seeing Charles outside my door, I was a
little stunned. Didn‘t we not agree that he would only visit the kids once a week? He had only come to
my place three days ago, so why was he back now? “Why did you...” Before I could finish my words,
Charles explained, “Mom wanted to see the kids, and she asked me to come with her.”

“Scarlett, I am the one who asked him to come,” Alice echoed.

Hearing that, I glared that Charles, but I did not say anything.

“Where are the twins?” Charles asked at once after seeing that the twins were not in the living room.



“They are sleeping upstairs. Don’t disturb them.” Alice reminded him, worried that the kids might wake
up.

Charles nodded in reply, and took James from her arms. I couldn’t help but feel a little upset, looking at
the unexpected visitors in front of me. Only three days ago when I had finished washing up and was
about to go to bed, Charles had suddenly come here, saying that he wanted to see the kids.

After I had driven him away, I was worried that he might show up again, and that was the reason I had
changed the password to my door.

“Mom, do you want to take the children back to the Moore mansion?” Noticing that I was upset, Charles
seemed to have guessed the reason Alice was there.

“Yes, I miss the kids very much. I want to take them back to Moore mansion for a few days.” Saying
that, Alice give him a nod.

“Mom, you can come back later for that.” Charles kept silent for a while before he started to persuade
her Surprised by his gesture, I felt a little moved.

I actually thought that he would made me to let Alice take the kids. I was not expecting him to help me
at all.

“Charles, I must take them back to the Moore mansion! You don‘t know how much it hurts me when I
am not with them!” Alice gave us a stubborn look.

“Mom, Scarlett can‘t live without her children. She needs their company more than you do.” Charles
also felt helpless.

“I also need to be with the kids, and your father and grandparents also miss them a lot.” Alice frowned
and was about to persuade again, but Charles interrupted her in a serious tone, “You have to wait!”



Just when I was about to give in, I was surprised to see his tough attitude.

“You are so bossy! How can you yell at me?” Alice snorted with displeasure before she headed upstairs
to see the twins.
