Carla just glared at him. She didn't say a word but turned around and got in the car…
When the door to the car opened, Zayn saw his kids there and vice versa. They were quick and eager to greet him, "Daddy…"
"Go stay with your mommy for a few days. I will go pick you up in a couple of days."
Zayn was calm and rational. He would not fight with Carla in such a place and under those circumstances.
He knew that Carla loved the kids like him, and it had nothing to do with what happened between them. She will never hurt them…
It was never wise to argue in front of the kids anyway because that would hurt them emotionally and potentially traumatize them.
"Be careful, Daddy, " reminded Randy.
"Yeah, stay safe, " said Josh.
"Daddy, I'm scared…" said Venus with teary eyes.
"Don't worry. Your mommy will be there with you, " cooed Zayn with a warm smile on.
Carla closed the door. She never gave him an extra second with the kids. She ordered, "We're leaving!"
"Understood, " replied Rogan before she started the car and drove away.
Venus finally had the chance to examine Carla closely since they were all in the car together. The mommy she had been missing day and night was finally beside her, and that got Venus to cry. Her baby voice trembled a little as she asked, "Mommy… are you really my mommy?"
Venus was not as brave as her big brothers. She didn't have the exceptional IQ and EQ that Randy had, nor was she a bold fighter like Josh. Instead, she was just as immature and innocent as any kid her age.
Carla didn't reply. She simply picked Venus up and hugged her.
"Mommy…"
Venus's tiny lips parted, and she cried. She couldn't speak because her emotions were too wild and complex at the time.
"Mommy, Mommy…"
Dori the parrot called out from the side. It hid its tiny head with its wing, and it seemed like it was secretly crying as well.
"Don't cry, Venus. Mommy is back, and our family will be reunited soon, " said Josh to coo Venus.
Randy, however, didn't say a word. He understood that their mom was back, but…
It'll be difficult for the family to get back together.
Randy noticed that his parents' gazes were hostile when they looked at each other earlier.
The conversation between Mommy and the bad lady also suggested that there is some sort of conflict between the Giblo family and the Lierger family. Hence, it will be difficult for Mommy and Daddy to get back together or for the family to reunite…
"Be good, don't cry, " cooed Carla sweetly as she stroked Venus's back. She promised, "I am back and will never let anyone bully any of you again."
Her eyes glowed with firm determination. She used to be weak and helpless, and that was why she was bullied. But that is not me anymore. I will never allow myself to fall like that again!
I, Carla Lierger, will never let anyone hurt me again, and anyone who attempts to hurt my family will pay with their blood.
At the front seat, both Rogan and Freda turned to one another. They had a complex glow in their eyes.
"Everything is ready, Mr. Giblo, " reported Brandy in a hurry before he added, "The police will keep pursuing Ms. Giblo. Let's leave for now. Our men will deal with the paperwork and the loose ends."
"Make sure that Alan's funeral goes well, " instructed Zayn grimly.
"Understood. I will settle everything."
Brandy was actually heartbroken. Alan was the bodyguard that Solara had killed earlier. He was only nineteen years old and was an orphan who had been working for the Giblo family for six years. Nothing had ever happened to them, but…
"This is all my fault. He's dead because of me, " murmured Bugara, who felt guilty.
"This is not on you, " said Benard as he tapped on Bugara's shoulder before adding, "You're still too young. It's impressive that you are able to accomplish as much as you had."
"Polka is injured too. How is he?" asked Bugara with teary eyes.
"He was taken to the hospital right away, " answered Benard.
"Let's go, Mr. Giblo. We shouldn't stay here for too long, " urged Brandy.
"Okay, " replied Zayn before he walked to the car. He turned around and saw that his wife's car was already out of sight. They're probably home now…
