“You better let go of your hand in the count of three, or else I will ignore you!" Miya can only come up
with such a technique.
Alex lets go of Miya's hand.
A victorious smile paints on Miya’s face.
Who will know that he can be that obedient?
Miya walks towards the door. Alex puts on his suit in just a few minutes. He rushes to her and speaks
with a severe look on his face.
"My love, I am coming with you to make breakfast for the children."
Miya quietly opens the door and walks out.
Three cute little heads stand in front of them when they open the door.
"What are you guys doing here?" Miya feels a little confused because it is still so early in the morning.
Perhaps they want to run away alongside herself and Alex?
"Mom, we were worried about you," Joey says straightforwardly.
"Worried about what? Mom is standing right in front of you! What else is there to worry about?" Miya
says, stroking Joey's head with her hand.
"I was wondering if dad was bullying you again since I heard you screaming last night. And..." Ben
covers Joey’s mouth instantly.
Screaming last night?
Miya is still thinking about these words in her mind when she suddenly remembers the things Alex did
to her. Her face blushes instantly.
Is the soundproof between rooms working so terribly? Did the children hear everything last night? How
embarrassing!
Miya doesn’t know how to explain for a moment.
"Joey is not awake yet, so she is talking gibberish," Ben says with a cheeky smile.
Miya looks at the children in front of her. Why does she feel that they are hiding something from her?
She bends down and asks the children, "Tell me, what are you doing here so early?"
"Because we haven't seen you for a long time, we miss you so much." Says Andre.
Ben is still covering Joey's mouth, not letting her speak.
"I assure you that nothing like this will happen again in the future. I will always be by your side, so you
don't have to worry about that anymore." Miya also feels that the children were feeling anxious and
worried when she was gone. She is always afraid of not being a good mother.
"We know that both of you are very busy at work, but we hope you can let us know if you need
anything. Otherwise, we will always be worried." Ben says in a serious tone, making Miya think that
Ben is the spitting image of Alex.
It turns out that the children do care about this family deeply.
Alex is standing on the other side and speaks quietly, "What happened yesterday was my fault. I should
control my temper and not yell at the children. It’s also my fault that I nearly lost your mother, so I am
here to assure you that I will stay by her side to protect her from now on."
As he says that, Alex wraps his arm around Miya's shoulder.
Miya looks incomprehensible.
What was that apology about? And what does he mean about protecting her by her side?
"Dad, you have to keep your promise!" Andre nods at Alex cautiously.
"You are all grown up now, don’t make us worry about you anymore," Alex says earnestly to the
children.
Miya feels this whole situation is getting weirder and weirder. Why is Alex acting as if he is giving his
last words…
"Okay, go and get ready. We will be in the kitchen making breakfast." Says Alex as he grabs Miya's
hand while waving to the children for them to leave the room.
The children understand what Alex means right away.
"We want to hug mom!"
The children observe Alex, waiting for his permission. After Alex nods in approval, they run up to hug
Miya tightly.
Miya is delighted. But she has a strange feeling that there is something wrong.
"Is there something that you guys are hiding from me?" Miya asks again.
The children all shake their heads at the same time. Under the command of Alex's glare, they run
downstairs as fast as they can but turn back to glance at Miya reluctantly on their way down.
"What's going on with the kids?" Miya blames Alex for feeling strange.
Alex just shrugs at her, meaning that it has nothing to do with him.
Miya is a little confused. Just when she is about to say something, Alex interrupts her and asks her to
look right.
She turns around and sees Carmen.
Carmen doesn’t want to talk, obviously being careful because Alex is next to her.
Miya says to Alex, "You..."
Alex interrupts her again before she can utter a word, "It looks like grandma wants to tell you
something. I will be waiting for you downstairs."
With that, Alex walks away.
Miya and Carmen are left alone to talk.
Yesterday, Miya came back really in a hurry, and she forgot to deal with Carmen’s situation.
"Grandma, where did you go? I..." When Miya is asking halfway, Carmen instantly interrupts her.
"Miya, I am so sorry." Carmen murmurs with a guilty look on her face.
Miya is even more confused, "Grandma, why are you apologizing to me for? In fact, I did not look after
you. I make you take care of my children, so I should be the one who is sorry."
"Miya, you were abducted by bad guys, it’s all my fault. If it wasn't for me, you..."
Carmen gasps for air.
Noticing that Carmen is about to cry, Miya becomes anxious, "Grandma, what happened? Why are you
telling me this?"
"Miya, I just want to apologize." Carmen lowers her voice as much as possible. She then looks at Miya,
turns around, and walks away.
Miya feels that everyone in her family is acting strange. Is it because of something that happened?
She walks downstairs to ask Alex.
"Alex, I think that the kids and grandma are acting very strange. What happened to them?" Miya asks
anxiously.
