Chapter 1117: Chapter 1117 Mommy Really Worked Hard
Looking at the children’s appearance, Charlotte could guess that they were definitely hiding something from her.
She glanced over at the table and seemed to see something through the gaps, and Cyrus immediately moved a step aside.
"Thank you, Mommy. You really work hard."
Although Grace said this, Charlotte still walked over to them.
As expected, the children immediately became flustered and quickly gathered around Charlotte.
"Mommy, Mommy, let’s go play in the living room."
"Yeah, Mommy, can you tell us a story?"
The children’s nervous and clueless demeanor amused Charlotte, who smiled and gently ruffled their soft hair.
"Your acting needs some work," she said. "What are you hiding from Mommy?"
Faced with Charlotte’s query, the children chose to act cute and remained silent.
However, Charlotte did not intend to probe too deeply, since it was something the children wanted to do on their own.
Besides, she knew they had kind hearts and would not do anything bad.
"Okay then, Mommy just came to bring you some juice."
After speaking, Charlotte turned to leave, but Cyrus’s voice suddenly came from behind her.
"Mommy, I’m sorry!"
Hearing this, Charlotte turned around and saw Cyrus walking out from among the children, and what they had been hiding was the computer on the table.
Seeing Cyrus walk up to her, Charlotte crouched down and gently touched his face.
"What’s wrong? Why are you apologizing to Mommy all of a sudden?"
"Mommy, we know that the woman named Mia Carter is responsible for what happened to our godmother, and we wanted to stand up for her."
Cyrus spoke seriously; he never lied.
Looking at the computer screen on the table and seeing the serious expression on Cyrus’s face, Charlotte guessed what was going on.
"So you wanted to find some news about Mia Carter online and spread it around?"
Charlotte directly voiced the children’s plan.
Though the children didn’t speak, their expressions revealed their true feelings.
"But, Mommy, you told us before not to do things like this, yet we didn’t listen to you this time."
These days, Cyrus had been growing taller and now was almost at eye level with the crouching Charlotte.
His expression was serious and earnest, uncharacteristic for a child of his age.
"Right, Mommy, it was all of our idea. I just think that person bullied my godmother, which was just terrible, and it made Annie very sad."
Grace also spoke up at this point.
With Grace leading the way, the other children also started to speak up.
"Mommy, I know hacking, and I did all this; it has nothing to do with our siblings."
Cyrus glanced at Grace beside him and took all the responsibility upon himself.
Cyrus was meticulous and responsible. Sometimes, when the children did something naughty, Cyrus would also protect the others.
"No, Mommy, we told big brother to do it."
"Yes, yes, it has nothing to do with big brother. It was our idea."
"That’s right, Mommy, please don’t be angry with big brother."
The other children also stood up at this time, all protecting each other and speaking on each other’s behalf.
Charlotte looked at the earnest children and finally grinned, her lips curling into a smile.
