Chapter 3 The Sudden Arrival of the Little Mute

Riley's heart suddenly tightened!

At this moment, the two kids who had gone to the bathroom cutely said to Riley, "Mommy, we're done!"

Riley snapped back to reality, her heart almost stopping in fright.

Riley hurriedly responded, "Okay? Then let's go quickly and not keep god-mother waiting too long."

On the other side, Donovan, while talking on the phone, suddenly heard a familiar voice and looked over.

Out of the corner of his eye, he only managed to catch a glimpse of a familiar figure.

Riley!!!

Was it her?

Had she come back???

Donovan immediately chased after her with long strides, but that figure had already merged into the crowd and disappeared.

Donovan's gaze became heavy, and his anger on his face became even more apparent.

That woman, who left so decisively back then, and heartlessly abandoned her child. How could she possibly come back!

The two children, holding her hand, found it strange to see their mommy looking back every few steps on their way.

"Riley! Landon! Winston!"

Seeing the person, Riley's tense heartstrings slowly relaxed, and a smile appeared on her face. "Harper, long time no see!"

Harper was her best friend in college and is now also a doctor, working under her own hospital.

Harper quickly walked up to the mother and two children, hugging her tightly, with an affectionate smile in her voice. "Finally, I've been waiting for you for so long! I've missed you so much!"

Riley smiled softly in response, "Me too."

Harper hugged her tightly before squatting down, hugging the two children, one in each arm, "My darlings, do you miss god-mother?"

Landon and Winston smiled, their voices soft and cute, answering simultaneously, "Of course we do! We want to see god-mother even in our dreams! And god-mother is still so beautiful!"

"You're so sweet!"

Harper was smiling with joy because of their compliments.

Riley still felt a sense of urgency and glanced at the airport gate, casually urging, "Let's not stay here. If there is anything, we can talk about it when we get back."

At the same time, Donovan's tall figure appeared at the airport gate.

"Cancel all the international matters."

The man coldly instructed his assistant, Paxton.

Paxton nodded, "Mr. Wilder, we have already sent more people to search for Finley. She's so young, she shouldn't have gone far. Please don't worry too much."

Finley at home has always been Mr. Wilder's apple of the eye. Compared to finding Finley, those international work matters are nothing.

Donovan's gaze turned cold, and he walked towards the Maybach parked on the side of the road without saying a word.

Soon, the car departed.

One hour later, Harper's car appeared in a residential area called 'Pixel Haven' in the city center.

This place was recommended by Riley a few days ago.

"The environment is nice, I like it," Riley said, satisfied. She turned to her friend and said, "I didn't expect you to be so efficient."

Harper raised an eyebrow without commenting. "My house is next door. This whole family moved to the capital city, so they're renting out this house. It's perfect that I found it. We can visit each other every day."

Riley nodded with a smile.

After quickly tidying up their things, it was time to eat.

Harper took the three of them out for a meal.

On the way to the restaurant's parking lot, before the car could come to a stop, a little girl suddenly ran out from a dark area.

Seeing that they were about to collide, Harper quickly slammed on the brakes and looked out in horror at the little girl who had fallen to the ground outside.

Riley was also terrified. She turned her head to look at the two children in the back seat and, seeing that they were fine, immediately opened the door and got out of the car.

Just a step away from the front of the car, a four or five-year-old girl sat on the ground with a blank look on her face, clearly scared out of her wits.

Riley's heart softened. She cautiously squatted down next to the little girl and asked gently, "Are you hurt?"

The little girl had fair skin, watery eyes, a perky nose, and a delicate appearance. She wore a pink princess dress, with two little pigtails tied up, and was holding an expensive-looking doll in her arms. She was like a little princess who had run away from family.

The little girl slowly came back to her senses and shook her head timidly, with a hint of wariness and fear in her eyes.

Riley paused for a moment, her outstretched hand hovering in the air. She smiled reassuringly at the little girl and said, "Don't be afraid, I just want to help you up."

After saying that, she looked around again, puzzled, and asked, "Where are your mommy and daddy? Why are you alone?"

The little girl clutched the doll tightly in her arms and remained silent, only shaking her head in response.
