The CEO’s Surrogate Wife

Chapter 709 Find Joey

“Big brothers, Granny, I’m wrong. I won’t wander around anymore…”

However, although she bursts into loud sobs, there is no one to help her.

Hungry and tired, she can only hear her own echo.

She looks around and finds it pitch dark everywhere. Afterwards, she can’t help but burst into tears.

Perhaps she is tired from crying, and when she hears the sound in the surroundings, she involuntarily thinks of ghosts… Then she becomes even more frightened, curls her entire body behind the tree and looks around in fear, afraid that something terrifying will suddenly jump up.

However, not long after she tenses up, she breaks into tears again.

If she had known, she wouldn’t have been so playful and secretly run out. Brothers and Granny, could they have forgotten about her?

Thinking of this, Joey feels more aggrieved. Her cries become louder and louder. She doesn’t want to care so much. She just wants to return home and eat.

“Mom...” she mutters to herself. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Then, a flashlight is shining on Joey’s body.

As the light is too strong, she can only block it with her hands. She then stares ahead with her eyes wide open.

Because she knows that her savior is here.

“Dare you run outside alone next time?” A cold shout rang out.

Joey immediately recognizes it. This is the voice she is most familiar with.

Thus, regardless of the situation, she directly pounces forward and sobs excitedly. She hugs Ben who is walking towards her, “Big brother, I know you will come looking for me.”

Right now, it is as if she has grabbed onto a life-saving straw and is unwilling to let go anyhow.

“Such a crybaby! Why did you run so far and get lost? Do you know that our entire family has been out to look for you?” Ben is bluntly criticizing her.

Usually, Joey would not be polite to him. But now, she feels warm. As long as she is by her brother’s side, she will be satisfied.

“Big brother, I know that I’m wrong. I’ll listen to you in the future, and I won’t run around anymore.” Joey is afraid of the dark and ghosts the most, so she will learn from the lesson and behave well.

“Do you know that we are all worried for you?” Andre adds, looking at his sister unhappily.

Carmen even steps forward and pretends to spank Joey, but, she does not exert any strength at all.

Only now does Joey know that everyone has come. At this moment, all her bad feelings are gone.

“The next time you sneak out, I’ll find you and lock you up in your room every day. I won’t even let you out of the courtyard,” Carmen is shouting.

Joey doesn’t dare to refute her at this moment. She just nods obediently.

Her obedience makes Carmen not bear to keep accusing her.

“You should be hungry now, right? You look dirty all over. Let’s go home and take a bath and eat. Everyone is hungry,” Carmen instructs her.

Joey feels remorse. It turns out that everyone didn’t eat in order to find her. She has done something wrong this time, and it is such a serious mistake.

“Guys, don’t worry. There won’t be another time.”

On the way back, Joey keeps repeating this.

Ben retorts impatiently, “You’re going to be a repeater. You keep repeating that.”

After hearing this, Joey doesn’t dare to speak again.

“Alright, let it pass. Don’t tell Mom and Dad about it so they won’t be worried.” Carmen feels that she should also talk to the bodyguards, in case they tell Miya.

After returning, Joey bathes herself and eats silently. She doesn’t even dare to make a sound, just like a child who has done something wrong.

Carmen is unaccustomed to the silent Joey who has always been lively and cheerful before.

“Joey, just remember not to be so mischievous.” Carmen can’t help but say.

Joey immediately puts down the bowl and chopsticks.

“I’m full. Take your time.”

Carmen looks at Joey’s bowl and finds that it is still full. However, when she turns around, Joey has already run upstairs.

It looks like Joey is burdened by guilt and regret.

Everyone looks at each other and no one speaks.

…

Alex Villa.

Miya deliberately leans towards Alex, “I really miss Joey and the others…”

Alex pretends not to hear that and keeps typing on the computer. It seems that he must concentrate on his work, so don’t disturb him.

“Hey…” Miya can’t hold on any longer.

The man who is working on the keyboard still doesn’t respond.

He’s pretending to be a workaholic now, isn’t he?

“If you don’t answer me now, I’ll run away.” It is time for Miya to show her trump card.

As soon as she finishes speaking, Alex hurriedly closes the computer in his hand and puts it aside. He smiles playfully and walks over, “Wife, don’t be angry. I am here.”

“Let’s go and bring the children back.” Miya doesn’t know what this man is thinking.

“The time is not ripe yet. We have to wait,” Alex says seriously to Miya.

Miya says impatiently, “You’ve always been saying this. What exactly are you doing secretly? Tell me the truth. How long do we need to wait? Give me a specific time.”

She feels that she can’t wait for a second.

“Otherwise, I’ll immediately go over there by helicopter and live with the children.” Miya has already prepared for the worst.

Upon hearing this, Alex is a little anxious.

“Honey, don’t worry. It’s just these few days anyway. Let me tell you, we’ll be able to bring the children back next week,” Alex says confidently.

Miya looks at him in disbelief, “Is what you said true?”

Alex nods seriously.

“Alright. If you don’t bring the children back in a week, I’ll go to the island and leave you alone.” Miya feels that she must say something unpleasant to scare him.

“Wife, don’t be so cruel to me.” Alex feels as if he has been played around by this woman. However, he enjoys this.

Miya has become more and more adorable.
