Not A Trafficker
Gavin smiled and chirped, “You’re so smart, Mommy!”
Zachary, Oliver, and Jasper became speechless.
Arissa brought them back after they were done packing.
“Sweethearts, do you all want pasta or risotto?”
“Mommy, I want carbonara!” said Jesse immediately.
“Do you think you’re still in town?” Jasper gave Jesse a scolding.
Jesse let out a light snort.
Arissa remembered that there might be cheese.
“Let’s check whether there’s cheese in the house. I will make it if there is!”
“Yay! Awesome!” Jesse was exhilarated.
After they had returned, only then did Bradley awaken.
Seeing that they were dirty as if they had played outside for a long while, he fumed, “Why didn’t you
guys wake me!”
Arissa chuckled and responded, “You’re the one who couldn’t get up this morning!”
Bradley snickered too.
Arissa put down the pasta. She asked the kids to put the snails into the basin before urging them to get
changed.
“There are so many snails!”
Bradley started to feel hungry.
Snails in garlic butter is the best!
“Do you have any tweezers?” Arissa asked.
“I think there’s one in the car. I’ll go and get it later.”
Arissa went to change her clothes before coming back down.
The five kids had also changed, and Arissa asked them to clean the snails.
There was only one tweezer, so five of them took turns cleaning the snails.
Not long after, their clothes got dirty again.
Gavin felt uncomfortable as he loved to keep himself clean. His expression turned pouty.
There were internal organs in the snails. It was inevitable for their clothes to get dirty when cleaning
them.
It even got on their faces occasionally.
“Ugh…” exclaimed Zachary as his face got dirty.
“Haha! Zachary’s face is funny.”
Jesse laughed at Zachary.
“Toothless girl!”
Jasper gave Jesse a nickname.
Jesse stared at him angrily. “I will call you toothless boy when you lose your teeth!”
Jesse pursed her lips and stopped laughing.
Arissa was bemused.
Bradley enjoyed some nuts while watching the kids’ interactions.
“Boss, should I go and get some groceries?”
He could only eat as there was nothing for him to do.
“You have bought a lot yesterday. It’s better to move around less,” reminded Arissa.
Bradley nodded, and he called his friend to get some information.
Nothing was going on in the town.
However, some people at the mine noticed them.
“Hey, I saw a woman with five kids when we were on the way here. Could it be that she’s a trafficker?”
Suddenly, everyone was excited.
“Wouldn’t we make a big profit if we notify someone?”
“It’s one hundred million! That’s a lot of money!”
“Really? Really?”
“I don’t know. I only saw a glimpse of them. Danny had seen them for much longer, right, Danny?”
Suddenly, Danny, who was the youngest in the group, was surrounded by everyone. “Tell us! Was there
really a woman with five kids?”
“There definitely was. The woman must be a bad person!”
Looking at how excited they were, Danny answered indifferently, “She’s not a trafficker.”
What kind of trafficker plays with kids?
“She’s not?”
“How do you know?”
“Did you see her properly even when she was so far away? She might even be a local. Besides, the
person on the television is in Dellmoor. How is it possible that she appears in a place like this?”
“How is it not possible? Traffickers are bad people. They will hide themselves after capturing the kids!”
“What do you know?”
The bunch of children started arguing.
Danny continued climbing the mountain. He still needed to earn money for his grandmother to get
treated.
