Chapter 129


    On the morning of her departure, ra had her suitcase packed and ready, just waiting for Emmett’s


    driver to pick her up.


    Before leaving, she look onest look around the room, feeling sentimental


    When she first arrived abroad, she thought she might never return home again or perhaps never see


    Alden again.


    Who would’ve thunk it that things would take such a twist?


    She couldn’t quite put her finger on whether this was good or bad for her. She only hoped that things


    wouldn’t go south and affect the kids.


    “Hello, I’m the driver Mr. Melendez sent to take you to the airport”


    Outside, the driver was already waiting for her


    ra closed the door and got into the car.


    Sitting in the backseat, she took out her phone, debating whether to give Elio a call to tell him she was


    leaving.


    Just as she was hesitating, a call from Emmett came through.


    ra quickly answered it, but instead of hearing Emmett’s voice, it was the childish voice of Alex.


    “Mum! Are you almost here? Daddy and I are waiting for you at the airport, you won’t stand us up,


    right?”


    ra chuckled, “I’m on my way! I be there in an instant


    “Great‘ Daddy and I will wait for you here.”


    Just as Alex finished his sentence, Emmett took over the phone. “There might be some traffic at this


    hour, don’t rush and stay safe.”


    “Alright”


    “Aiden already knows we’re returning, he was so excited he couldn’t sleep all night! ra, you have a


    way with Aiden.”


    raughed awkwardly


    Her son, of course, would like her! It would be strange if he preferred someone else!


    “We’ll talk more when we meet, I’ll be waiting for you.”


    “Okay”


    After hanging up, ra looked at her phone screen and chuckled.


    Although she still had a lot of things to hide from Emmett and didn’t know how to tell him, at least for


    now, this choice seemed to be the right one.


    Both kids were happy, and Emmett seemed to enjoy his life too, as for herself.


    She didn’t have a particr crush, so it didn’t matter who she was with.

    Finally, they arrived at the airport.


    The driver helped her with her luggage and personally escorted her to Emmett.


    Before Emmett could say anything, Alex ran over to ra, opening his arms for a hug. “Mum, hug!”


    His affectionate behavior made ra a bit nervous.


    After all, if Alex was too close to her, it might arouse Emmett’s suspicion.


    She nced nervously at Emmett, who stood there smiling, seemingly not suspecting anything. Only


    then did ra bend down to hug Alex, whispering, “Don’t be too affectionate with me in front of your


    dad, he might get suspicious! Alex, you need to cool it a bit.”


    Alex blinked, pouting. “So I can’t even hug you when I see you?”


    “I didn’t say that, just not for a while. And when we get back home and see your brother Aiden, watch


    your behavior, don’t let anyone see anything fishy! The Melendez family is not just Emmett but also


    your grandparents!”


    “They’re nice to me!” Alex blurted out.


    ra was just short of covering his mouth, “Alex! Watch what you say!”
