Chapter 393 - Three Hundred And Ninety-three: The Return-2 (1/2)

The third point of view:

”Hello father, I know this is sudden but we're returning home,” Was all Reina said and her old man almost screamed her head off with a,

”What?!”

”I'm sorry I didn't inform you on time but it sort of happened,” Reina lied through her teeth. The truth was that she had delayed telling him on purpose because she was pretty mad at him.

He knew about Angela's ailment yet didn't care to tell her? Although Reina was sure she wouldn't have believed him if he had told her, in the end, she would calm down - just as she has now. So ”her being furious” was not an excuse for hiding the truth from her.

”No problem then, I guess you couldn't help it. Though I wonder why you ended the honeymoon abruptly - you were the one begging to be with him,”

”I thought the same thing too but being away from the kids so long, we discovered we couldn't stay without them,” she continued with her lie.

And yes, she indeed missed her kids but being away from those troublemakers had been refreshing - seven years with them weren't exactly the best experience - if you know what she means.

”Of course, a mother shouldn't be too far away from their kids,” Sakuzi acquiesced, praising himself internally for his marvelous acting. She wouldn't suspect a thing.

”So where are you now? On the plane?” At the least, he still had time.

Reina smirked as she answered, ”What plane? I'm in the country already. To be exact, I should be meeting you guys at home in twenty minutes or so,” she checked her wristwatch. She guessed his men he had sent in secret to watch her didn't inform him of their returning.

”What? You're almost home?!” He screamed once more.

”Why are you so shocked?” Reina was beginning to sense something was wrong. Why was Sakuzi so jumpy? Unless he was hiding something.

”Nothing, I was just overwhelmed with Joy. Don't worry, I should inform the kids of the good news,” her father hung up on her before she was done with the call.

Well, he must be filled with joy - as he said. Reina leaned in towards Niklaus who had been quiet by her side all this while.

”How are you feeling?” Niklaus asked, threading his hand through her hair.

”Better,” she replied, snuggling closer to him. He knew it wasn't easy for her to abandon her honeymoon and all just to meet her mo -, I mean, Angela.

”Don't worry, I'm with you all through the way,” He assured her, kissing her on the top of her head.

In no time, both arrived at their place and for some strange reasons, Reina looked around, feeling as if a strong wind had blown around or more like a helicopter rotor downwash. Helicopter? Why would a helicopter be here? It didn't make sense. At all.

Reina pushed the issue to the back of her mind, and headed inside, she needed to see her children who must have been on their best behavior with father and Nadia around.

”Welcome home mother and father!”

Reina was startled out of her mind as soon as she stepped into the house with her husband, Niklaus. What the hell was that? They almost gave her a heart attack.

However, Reina's eyes narrowed and she scrutinized them. Something was amiss, her kids were being careful, which was not like them. The only time they are this disobedient was whenever they did something that was surely going to get them angry.

”Am I missing something here?” she hadn't meant to say that out loud.

”What do you mean, mother? Aren't you happy to see me and my siblings working together as one?” Isabella said to her, yet she detected a trace of sarcasm in her tone.

”No! Of course, I'm happy to see my lovely kids,” Reina bent down and opened her arms wide for her kids to run into - which they did without grudges.

Maybe, she should put a bit of trust into her kids. They must have missed her so much they decided to be good for once.

”We missed you so much aunty,” Neon told her sweetly and she ruffled his hair as usual. However, the boy wasn't through with his words.
