Chapter 72 Sweet! Buy now!

Judging from Dr. Wale's face and his silence, Pearl could guess that he was miffed. After weighing it for

a while, she changed her opinion and words, "How about giving me some time until the end of this

month? Dr. Morgan, if you still need me by then, I will be glad to accept the job."

"That's perfect." Nathan was overjoyed, "I'll go back to arrange this right now."

Dr. Wale's expression improved. It was clear as day that he was glad at heart for this. But before he

left, he still added, "You know you won't leave easily if you really accept this job. You still have a month

to think about it."

After watching Dr. Wale and Nathan leave the place, Pearl shook her head and sighed. "Alex, don't you

agree as Dr. Wale grew older, he tends be more childish? He loves to argue with people and says more

sarcasms."

"He only does that to you." Alex's laugh came from next to her. "Everyone knows Dr. Wale think highly NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

of you most. I bet he will be the happiest one if you really become a teacher here. Even his future

researches will left to you."

"Come on. Stop saying that. Let's go now."

They walked side by side to the back stage.

As they were walking, Alex was curious to ask, "Did you accept Dr. Morgan's offer for you don't want to

upset Dr. Wale?"

"Yes. What else could I do?" Pearl said helplessly, "Didn't you notice how gloomy his face was? Had I

said no, I bet he would no longer acknowledge me as his student!"

Looking at Pearl's side face, Alex's eyes softened unknowingly.

The world was changing; so were people. But time seemed to have stopped for Pearl. Her confidence,

pride, as well as kindness had never changed after these years.

He would like to keep accompany with her until the end, even if he may get nothing at last.

Alex and Pearl just reached the back stage. Noises from an ongoing ruckus came to their ears.

"Everyone, keep looking. How could they just disappear?" said someone with an anxious voice.

"We've looked everywhere, including the lounge. But they weren't there."

"Are they in the restroom?"

The ruckus confused Pearl and Alex. The students were all bustling in front of them. Alex

noticed Oliver, the junior who was asked to look after Pearl's children. So he waved a hand at him and

asked, "Oliver, what's going on here?"

Oliver rushed towards Alex and Pearl immediately. "Pearl! Alex! Did Bonny and Brandon go looking for

you two just now?"

"No, I have not seen them" Alex was startled.

Oliver's face became as white as a sheet as he said, "They are missing!"

"What?" Alex face also paled.

Oliver was so scared that he almost cried. "I was watching for them when Mrs Miller asked me to move

some equipment for her. She assured me of taking care of the kids. But when I came back, the kids

were all gone ."

After Jeanette graduated, she became an English teacher in this university. Because Alexander, her

husband, was a teacher at this medical faculty. Jeanette would always instruct his medical students to

run errands for her.

Alex asked nervously, "Where is Jeanette now?"

"She said she didn't see the kids. And she left just now, saying she had something urgent to attend to."

Oliver's eyes turned red as he apologized hurriedly to them, "I'm so so sorry! Ms Yonng. I have already

asked others to help me go and look for them everywhere! I am going to go check the security cameras

now!"

Oliver was just a young naive student. He had been terrified out of his wits.

Pearl was still very calm and said, "It's okay. Calm down first. Brandon has a cell phone on him. I'll try

to call him. And even his phone can't get through, we can also track them through the GPS."

It's surely a big issue for other children to go missing. But according to her own experience, if Bonny

and Brandon went missing, she would worried more about the kidnappers instead.

Pearl soon went through to Brandon. "Mommy."

Pearl breathed a long sigh of relief as she heard Brandon's voice. She then put the call on

speakerphone to reassure the others.

"Where are you and Bonny now? Why are you running around again?" asked Pearl.

"We are in a fruit shop now."

It was the food street near the back gate of the university. There were many food and snacks sold

there. Pearl knew by instinct that they might have been attracted by food to go there.

"Was it Bonny doing this again?"

Before Brandon could answer this question, Bonny's soft and a little dissatisfied voice came from over

the phone, "No, it wasn't me. Mommy. It's Jeanette. She told us she would treat us with delicious ice

cream. But after we followed her here, she went missing. Brandon and I were thinking about going to

ask the policeman to help look for her."

Pearl held her forehead and uttered helplessly, "Alright. I got it. Stay put right there. I'm on my way to

see you now."

Jeanette was obviously up to no good. But the kids were unharmed. So she decided not to argue with

Jeanette and just let it go. She hung up the phone and then left for the food street in a hurry.

She came across Alexander on her way out the room. But she just gave him a simple nod and walked

past him quickly.

Pearl always had a good temper and manner. It's rare for her to treat others like this. Thus,

her indifference shocked Alexander. He grabbed Alex who was chasing after behind Pearl. "What's

wrong with Pearl?"

Alex frowned and looked angry. "Alexander, you should ask Jeanette about this. Why did she bring

Pearl's kids out and leave them alone on the street without telling anyone? Can she be responsible for

that if anything happens to them?"

"What?" Alexander's face stiffened for this unexpected answer.

Behind Alex, Oliver was also indignantly. He added, "Mrs. Miller has gone too far! Even if she had

grudges against Pearl, she shouldn't have joked around by using the kids. She almost scared me to

death!"

"Did you know the reason now?" Alex brushed away Alexander's hand

and walked away without a backward glance.

At the same time, the fruit stalls at the food street were bustling with people.

Bonny and Brandon were sitting in a shaded spot near a stall. They were enjoying muskmelons. Sweet

juice were all over their cute mouths and hands. Their satisfied look attracted many eyes.

Gradually, people gathering around them could not help buying a slice of muskmelon to have a taste

too.

Bonny not only ate the free melons but also helped the stall owner promote their fruits. "This melon is

very sweet. I assure you that it would taste better if it's iced."

Soon, people swarmed to the stall to buy melons.

A student then asked, "Little girl, how about the mangosteen? Taste good?"

Bonny shook her head as she took another good bite at her melon. She replied honestly, "I have not

eaten it, so I don't know."

Hearing Bonny's remark, the chubby stall owner immediately peeled open a ripe mangosteen to Bonny,

"Here you go! My dear, have a try!"

Bonny's mouth was then stuffed with the mangosteen. After having a taste, she claimed with a full

mouth, "Sweet! Buy now!"

"Okay. I will take some mangosteens, please."

"Me too."

In the blink of an eye, a basket of mangosteen was sold out.

The stall owner was overjoyed. As she urged her husband to collect the money, she smiled at the two

kids in front of her with narrowed eyes. Whose kids were they? So adorable! They had helped her sell

so many fruits in such a short time. If she could ask them to stay at her shop for hours everyday, she

would definitely made a lot of money.

Seeing so many students were buying fruits, she immediately served Bonny with a plate filled with

different fruits, "Sweetie, try this pineapple!"

"I'm full." Bonny rubbed her tummy under the pink dress.

Although she said so, she still reached a hand to grab the largest piece of pineapple.

Everyone burst into laugh at this sight.

"Bonny." Brandon pulled her by her dress. He was afraid Bonny would have eaten too much.

Bonny looked up and her eyes lit up instantly. She shouted to the man behind Brandon,

"Daddy!"
