hapter 403 An Honest Mistake
Chris checked his phone to see if there was anything about him online. His premonition had become reality. He was now on the wanted list.
“The suspect scammed 500,000 dollars from one victim and fled with the money. All 13 accomplices have been detained…”
Chris’s face twitched. His students were all’arrested. Which meant he could no longer use their credit cards during his fugitive endeavor. Af his wit’s end, Chris made a call.
“Hi. Yes, Madam Fowler… No, I’m not running away. I found you a vessel… Yes, please pick me up.”
Blake was sucking a lollipop, seemingly in a jolly mood Making Chris a wanted criminal made his investigation go even smoother.
“Mr. MacNeil, we have intel that Chris just contacted the Fowler family. They are now picking him up,” said Layton.
“Great! I shall meet him then,” Blake sneered. “By the way, Arthur is your younger brother, yes? Ask him to shop for some cute toddler clothes and send them to the Crawford Mansion. Tell him to keep watch over -Lilly.”
“Okay,” replied Layton.
Back in the Crawford Mansion, Lilly stared at the stoic man before her. “Mister, why do you keep following me?”
Arthur came with four to five bags. He dumped them on the floor before following Lilly around like a loyal puppy.
Bettany saw the bags of toddler clothes. She retrieved hjem and asked Hannah and Josh to try them on.
“So Blake isn’t good-for-nothing after all. I was planning to take them shopping today. But he predicted what I wanted to buy and sent them here,” commented Bettany approvingly.
Lilly grabbed Grace’s hand. “Come, Gracie. Let’s try on new clothes!”
“Pfft! Who does that?” Grace sniggered.
“Come. What are you going to do then?”
“I enjoy my solitude,” said Grace, but she was following Lilly reluctantly.
“Margaret, hang these clothes, will you? These two bags contain male toddler clothes and these three bags should be the female ones.”
As Margaret opened the content of the bags, everyone was greeted with a sea of pink. Pink shirts, pink pants, and even pink underwear!
“Where are the clothes for me?” asked Josh innocently.

“Over there.” Arthur pointed at the pink pile.
“It’s all pink.” Lilly remarked.
“Yes, Miss MacNeil!” Arthur stood like a soldier. “Mr. MacNeil asked for cute toddler clothes. And cute. means pink.”
“What is your name again?” asked Bettany.
“I am Arthur. Because my father wants me to be a legendary figure like King Arthur!” answered Arthur solemnly.
Everyone fell silent. They didn’t have it in themselves to reproach an honest mistake committed by a man. who took everything too literally.
