Caroline welcomed her children with a big embrace and asked, "Both of you, how was your day in the
kindergarten?"
"Mom, I'm furious today!"
Corinne puffed her little face and complained, "One of my classmates was very annoying!"
"What's the matter?"
Caroline hurriedly crouched down and asked gently.
Corinne pouted and replied, "That bad classmate of mine claimed that I don't have a father! I told him
that Dad only went to Antarctica to be a scientist and feed penguins.I also mentioned that he would
return once the baby penguins have grown!"
Caroline choked up her breath, but she still smiled gently, "Yes, Dad will come back after he had fed
the penguins"
She hugged Corinne while she drew Charles inside the car.
The two children were salivating for dumplings when they passed a snack store.
Because of that, Caroline asked the driver to stop the vehicle and park for a minute.
She then went to the store with her children and bought two boxes of colorful dumplings.
In that wilderness, the villa remained alone.
Caroline only found out later after a man purchased a nearby estate.
If nobody did that, the mansion would be lonely alone.
As soon as they arrived, both Corinne and Charles ran towards the villa.
Caroline smiled as she followed them and reminded, "Corinne, be careful.You might fall! Charles, lead
your sister.Don't run so fast."
She opened the villa’s door as she spoke.
Caroline suddenly had the weird feeling that something was wrong when she changed her shoes.She
then went into the bedroom to change her clothes but she stopped as soon as she opened the door.
The curtains were open which allowed the bright sunlight to invade the entirety of the bedroom.
A tall man stood straight in front of the window with his back to her.
Even only with his silhouette could Caroline tell who he was.
Her heartbeat instantly accelerated as she moved closer to him, step by step.
He slowly turned around and stared at her with a deep gaze.
Caroline looked up at him blankly.
All she could think of was the familiar scent that she hadn't smelled in three years.
He looked down at her and said in a familiar low captivating voice, "Caroline, I've found a miracle- With
that, Caroline's eyes welled up with tears while the man embraced her tightly and said, "Oh right, I
forgot to introduce myself.My name is Augustus Windsor"
She looked up at him through tears and responded, "Where have you been? I've been waiting for you
for three long years"
He lowered his head and kissed her cheek softly.
"My apologies, miss.You don't have to worry now.I won't leave again."
Just as she was about to respond, she heard two footsteps.
When Charles and Corinne ran to the door, they witnessed how the unfamiliar man hugged their
mother.
Immediately, the two little fellows put their arms around their waist and said fiercely, "Who are you? Let
go of my mother!"
"Trespassing, I'll call the police!"
Only then did Caroline react and hurriedly came out of Augustus's embrace.
She knelt down and held the two little fellows in her arms.
"Charles, Corinne, meet your father"
Corinne stared at Augustus with her eyes wide open.
Charles only looked at the tears on his mom's cheeks and said, "Mom, why are you crying? Did he
bully you?"
Caroline chuckled and said, "No, honey.He did not harm me.I'm only crying because I am
delighted.Mom just couldn't contain her happiness now that dad's back"
She calmly explained as she tried her best to smile.
Charles was still trying to grasp the situation when Corinne started to cry as well.
Caroline hurriedly asked, "Corinne, what's wrong?"
"Daddy had fed all the penguins in Antarctica and returned! I am so happy, mom!"
