Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 856:

After arriving at Daniels Manor, Marissa went to see Lawrence and Lindsay at Arabella’s house first. Since she met these kids, she had spent almost every day with them, and they had grown increasingly attached to her. The kids trusted her and loved her dearly.

Especially after their recent hospitalization, they had become even more dependent on her. However, she had flown to Cher Snain and been away for two days. So, when they saw Marissa, they immediately ran to her, exclaiming, “Mom!”

Marissa quickly embraced them and checked on their well-being. Thankfully, the children were recovering nicely and seemed more lively.

Lindsay looked at her with a sense of hurt and asked, “Mom, where have you been for the past two days? You didn’t even say goodbye.”

Feeling guilty, Marissa caressed Lindsay’s cheek. “I’m sorry, sweetheart. I had to fly to Cher Snain urgently. You were asleep when I left, so I didn’t wake you, but I asked Rita to tell you. Didn’t she explain?”

“Yes, she did,” Lawrence replied maturely. “We don’t blame you, Mom. We are not little kids anymore and need to learn to be strong. We can’t keep you from your work.”

Marissa stroked his cheek. He had grown up so quickly, and it made her feel sad. She hated being apart from them and wished she could always be with them, but she had no choice at the moment.

Although her father had suggested taking the children back to the Nash family, Marissa felt it was best to let them stay with the Daniels family for now. The shady organization was still after the children.

The Nash and Sanchez families might not ensure their safety, but Connor could. Who would ultimately have custody of the children would depend on negotiations between Tiffany and Connor, as they were the parents. Thus, Marissa had no authority to decide.

With this in mind, Marissa said, “I’m sorry, kids. I don’t want to leave you, but I have important tasks to handle. It might be a few more days before you see me again.”

Lindsay suddenly looked up at her, reluctance in her eyes. “Mom, are you going abroad again?”

“Yes.” Marissa nodded.

Disappointment clouded Lindsay’s face. She clung to Marissa tightly, trying to be endearing. “Mom, I don’t want you to go. I want you to stay with me.”

“Stop it, Lindsay,” Lawrence scolded her gently, remembering his earlier resolve. “Have you forgotten what I just said? We’re not little kids anymore. We should be sensible and not hinder Mom’s work.”

Lindsay slowly released Marissa, bowed her head, and murmured, “I understand.”

Marissa felt a pang of guilt, hugging them both tightly. “Don’t worry, my loves. I promise I’ll return as soon as I can. It won’t be long.”

She was determined to bring Tiffany back so that their biological mother could be with them.

She was the spitting image of Tiffany. Unless someone told the truth, the children would believe the mother who had been with them had always been the same one, preventing any emotional distress
