Renee returned to her apartment late at night after the children had fallen asleep.
Margaret heard the ruckus and went outside, wearing a jacket over her pyjamas.
"Where have you been, Miss Ren? The kids were waiting for you all night."
"I went to the Hunt residence to search for the children, but it was a mistake. Stefan, like the rest of the Hunt family, was unaware of Adie and Abby's existence." Renee gave an awkward chuckle. Her cheeks flushed subconsciously as she remembered what had transpired earlier.
"Ah, that was a misunderstanding. I heard from the kids that the person who took them is Mr. Q, the man you brought to Sun Island a few days ago. Adie followed him because he claimed Abby as his goddaughter."
Margaret informed Renee of what she had learned from the children. "Mr. Q is a nice guy," she added with a relieved grin. "The kids adore him, and he treats them like they're his biological children."
"Oh, so it was him!" Renee scowled and said, "What does he want?" Not only does Abby adore him, but he's also attempting to woo Adie. He's gone too far! I need to teach him a lesson one day so he doesn't bother my children anymore."
"There's no need for that, Miss Ren. He's a decent man. According to Adie, he is a well-known chef in Beach City. He took them to learn how to bake after discovering that the three of you liked his cake. They all worked together to make you a cake. I'll go get it from the fridge."
Renee got up early, ate breakfast, and dropped the two kids off at school.
While she drove, she grilled the two youngsters, particularly Adie.
"Adie, tell me honestly, did Mr. Q give you something to win you over? Why did you side with him so quickly? Didn't I tell you to look after Abby and not allow her to be kidnapped? You, on the other hand, kidnapped her with a stranger. You're a little traitor!" Renee scolded him unhappily.
"Mummy, listen to me. It's all a misunderstanding!"
